has anyone else just noticed a change to alot of their sites in the past few hours? The few sites that i had left ranking well after panda/penguin just dissapeared??
yess.. mat Cutts said the next target is match "exact domain with low quality" found it on matt cutt twitter
Yes they have rolled out another update Im afraid. This update is targeting low quality sites with EMD. I just made a post about the topic. But you can read more about the update here
Yes, another update rolled. Google claims it's for low quality EMD. But my site, nowhere close to EMD, got affected too badly..I am clueless.May be it's the Google dance for now.But no one knows what Google is trying to implement. Is it bad or not? I do not know.
i see few of my sites disappeared in the last few hours and they had good rankings.Is it google dance? or just another animal from google.this is crazy!!! I used all unique content and all written by professional writers.it is no way low quality...
My website where I worked in the past 2 years has droped from serp, I got almost no google visitors since 7-8 hours. And like someone said, is far from a spammy EMD website.
Looks like someone has a war on exatct match domains: "Daniel Foley @ danielfoley @ mattcutts Do you ever go out and enjoy life? Or do you literally live for Google? Go and have a beer and drop the whole Google thing "
My 3 high earning EMD sites have disappeared completely. The were on page 1 for domain keywords and now not even in the first 10 page. So annoyed. All contents were unique. I posted two unique articles per week and now nothing, zilch, nada. Arrrrghhhh. Hate this industry.
One site of mine was hit bad also. From 1st page it went nowhere near the first 5 pages. This is also not an exact match site with good quality. I hope for adjustment to this algorithm because so far is seems like a mess. Google's dictatorship is stepping on too many people's nerves / money. Something should be done about this!
Yeah it looks like things are being moved around again. Living in fear that google will lower my website serp isn't nice. Think it's time to find other ways to generate traffic.
My 3x #1 emd sites that were FAR from spammy are totally gone too now. They had unique designs and content... clueless.
My 7-8 websites are affected by this algorith change badly, All of my sites were exact match domains and were on 1-2 pages of Google, Now they are nowhere, Yesterday my analytics was showing 500+ unique visitors, Today it is just 40......WTF
EMD = Exact Match Domain From what I heard, they also targeted partial match domains, where your domain contains the query and other words. So if someone searches "buy cars," domains like "buy-cars-online.info" should have a harder time ranking well.
