How is Google Treating You in '06?

That's good to hear.

But just out of curiosity, how long do you think you were in the sandbox? A rough estimate.

 

Only one of my keywords is on G's top 100. No surprise my site is only 3 months old

 

If they are copying your content then you have a right to have them removed from their sites.

 

For me 8 months or so.

 

Well Google and I used to be good friends, for at least 5 years. But now, well, you know the old saying keep your friends close and your ememies closer.

Google is very dear to my heart right now .

 

You keep telling us that in several threads, but you don't get it.

The Toolbar PR only reflects the current PR they're already calculating with. A Toolbar Update is NOT going to rank your site better.

 

Its pointless, he wont even read that.

 

I usually get around 10k visitors each day but she's being much nicer in Feb, yesterday I had 23727 referrals from the big G so I cannot complain.

 

As my site gets older, I've been getting more respect from Google. I've now got double listings in the serps for all of my main keywords. I definately think age is a factor in the Google algo. Age=staying power=authority.

 

I was a year in the sandbox, now results are getting better all the time. Keep building varried links (directories, articles, blogs, ect...) and adding relevant content.

 

Great!!!

I have ranked two sites for the same key phrase top 10 in major search engines. Here's overture stats for that keyphrase in Jan 06: [FONT=verdana,sans-serif]444494 searches.

Then I got another site ranked:
[/FONT][FONT=verdana,sans-serif]7519 searches.

Optimization took place long ago but serious optimization changes and strategies were implemented in November 2005

All in all, very good.

Looks like I am gaining some ground on google this month. Also the result from the Big Daddy DCs are looking really good. Overall a nice rebound from Jagger.

 

wow google indexed some of my sites .... one month and it is there ... no sandbox i think very nice ... now waiting for inbound links to go higher in serps

 

2006 has been a good year for me so far. We had a big jump around the middle of January which has been treating us well.

 

Google just keeps getting better for me. We understand each other. This year is better than last, which was better than the year before.

 

Lots of great responses!

So, what is your SEO/SEM game plan for 2006?
