Spot on! I might start a weekly 'OMG Update In Progress' thread to distract all competition and snatch their top spots.. Good thinking WeirFire.
TOTALLY agree! I am kicking arse in MSN.com and MSN.co.uk but in Google where the traffic is I suck lol I cannot see any BL changes though in any of the data centers.
OMG - an update is happening? Damn - keyword tracker says too many queries running, I better keep clicking until I get an update.
I'm going to have a heart attack... my main keyword has been jumping from #7 to #19 all day long... 4250 backlinks at Google and I still have to suffer this crap everythime there is an update...
Strange....I'm not seeing any changes in backlinks yet, but definitely changes in serps and allinanchor.
I have not noticed any changes in my backlinks either. I have created my own little smart bot that searches for link:www.mysite.com and notifies me of any changes. It sure is. My new site of only 3 months is not even ranked in google SERPS yet, probably sandboxed. But in MSN I am ranked #5 for my main keyword.
@ the people who see an increase. What data centres are you viewing that are showing changes to serps, allinanchor or links? I'm seeing nothing new at all
seems to me that we're seeing a reversal of what ever happened on the December 17 update. At least thats the case on my sites. I lost two thirds of my traffic that day and today the initial stats i'm seeing is that its back with increased backlinks and restored SERPs. Hope it holds
I have the same impression ... I lost about half my traffic in december and it seems to be comming back ... (I did modifications to the sites) I keep day to day percentages of the amount of traffic that comes from Google and its way up ... it jumped from 38% to over 50% today These percentages are a good tool to get a feeling of the changes in google .. they normaly fluctuate day to day with only a few percentages
WHOA! HUGE jump in all of my keywords today (and some other keywords popping on to the board). Any one else seeing major changes yet?
