Strange results on Google UK

    Ever since yesterday I have been seeing really weird results on Google UK, many of the sites I have been working on have dropped and I am seeing loads of US .com websites in the results.

    Anyone else seeing anything similar?

    Yes mate,

    We've had a bad month on quite a few sites. We noticed Google "the web" rankings have been hit badly and our Google UK have definitely dropped on a number of sites.

    Haven't checked really whether US sites have taken there places

    Absolutely spot on. Just what I've been thinking the last 2 or 3 days. Google UK results look like US results. For some keywords I normally have 3 sites or 4 pages in the top 20 but in the past couple of days things are different. My main site is still where it has been for the past year or so but most of the other top 20 positions are full of US sites - .co.uk's are nowhere to be seen.

    My traffics down in the last month too. Not badly but enough to hurt sales. eithe Google's not as effective lately or the recession is beginning to bite.
