How is Google Treating You in '06?

Discussion in 'Google' started by Komodo Tale, Feb 9, 2006.

    I am curious as to what trends and changes you have personally experienced in the SERPS during the new year, so far?

    I have seen at least one discussion of a possible Jagger rollback
    and I have seen numerous messages from both the happy and the sad.


    For myself, the domain that I manage is experiencing new highs across all data centers for major key words (hooray!) going from pages 5 & 6 to pages 2 & 3, but I am not a good role model because we introduced a server platform change, an IP change, and a major site redesign all since January 01, so there are a lot of factors in play at my site.

    Now that these changes are finished we will be adding new content in the form of new products, entering into the shared article market, and re-energizing our reciprical linking camaign.

    How are you doing, what are you up to, and what is your plan?

    I had tremendous jumps in serps yesterday but still in few DCs, I hope those stick and propagate! not a jagger rollback for me as this site was not doing great before. it is not a sandbox effect because it was already out of it few months ago.

    Right now Google is treating me poorly because they won't hurry up and do the next page rank update.

    Google has placed both of my new sites in the sandbox and only God knows how long for. While MSN ranks me within the top 10 for several of my keywords.

    Go MSN! ;)

    It seems that Google is devaluing sites with affiliate links...

    'I dont think so Tim'.

    My main competitor for my main keyword is a subdomain page wich only contains affiliate links. No content, just affiliate links.
    Google seems to love him very much cause he's been on this position for at least 6 months (that's when I started my new website) So I'm really :(

    It's been great so far, my main site is finally starting to come out of the sandbox.

    Lousy, been sitting pretty for 4-5 years and taking a big hit now. Unfortunately some of my duplicate site spamming competitors are taking over the serps
