I am targeting a website for Google.dk and was looking for the top ranked sites for a few keywords and found some really surprising search results. If you search for 'viagra 100 tabs' on www.google.dk you'll notice that half of the sites on page # 1 are not even related to those keywords. Authority sites like www.awepa.org www.pccwglobal.com www.spenw.org http://pdtkuantan.pahang.gov.my http://doctorat.upc.edu/index.php?id=1 and http://www.cns.fas.harvard.edu are showing on page 1 Some of my other clients who are targeting regional search engines have also lost rankings for several keywords. Did anyone else see a drop in their regional rankings?
Search Engine has its own algorithm.And major search Engine has made some changes in their algorithms to index sites. You might have noticed that the Google has come up with the PANDA updates and it affect very badly to lots of site. The result which we are seeing on the search engine is because of its algorithm. It is very difficult to know how search engine index our site and which text or keyword shows in the search result page.
Thanks for the replies, I do hope Google resolves the issue soon. Most of the sites which were there at top positions are nowhere to be found.
