Did anyone else experience a strange serp change yesterday? I have over 40 websites , and the ones that were dominating page 1 bumped to page 2. It seems that the directory backlinks were effected in a negative way. Thanks god for microsites..the sites I have are optimized for Bing & Yahoo..but during this update it prevailed. Strange stuff...and I'm surprised nobody else posted about this.
I've seen something like that too and just happened overnight. I think there is something on last Google changes along with Google Instant..
It does not seem to have been widespread. No one else here seemed to notice. And, if it was a G update, most boards would be buzzing about it. I haven't seen it anywhere else.
I don't think it was something major as well although I have noticed some changes in Google these past few days and it has been all good for me!
I believe that something is going on in Google about serp and pr, everything will be made known to us sooner or later.
I have had some jumps yesterday , so i believe something is coming yes. Serps seem to be moving more than ever.
This morning I noticed the YouTube videos and blogs were prevailing on long tailed searches, like this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=2004+Purple+Chevy+SSR+Tampa&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
I did notice some changes yesterday. However I am not sure what. our site moved up on some kw's and down on others. Not much different then expected but hard to say. Keep us posted.
This is the second time this has happened to my site. It happened back on the 20th and some time last night. Hopefully it will go back to normal soon.
I didn't check SERPs few days but now when I read this thread I checked and I see some small changes. Few places up for some sites and few places down for some other. Have to research more regarding this, thought.
Yes Google has screwed up i'm seeing sites that are new and have no real content but are basically just ads topping serps in some niches. Looks like some rollback of Serps from 2 years ago in some of my niches.
