Hey, I have read different threads, got many things to know then i was analyzing a few things when i search keyword "make money online" on google and the first of the result was a worthless forum... how can this be? a forum with content not worth is ranking so high? I am confused by this update of google and would like to know much more about it now what can we do with our websites :S Waiting for some responses.. Thanks
That is the reason people are shouting with Google penguin update, yeah if you search make money online, the previous website is gone and totally replaced with something.. I think it will take some time to get recover cause Goolge also need to learn from it..give some time to it..
I know a lot of marketers who have put forward genuine quality sites that have been hit. You should check out my latest article (link in my sig) regarding the google penguin algorithm and the poor results it's actually returning. I've posted a couple of example on there but from what I can see from various communities is that right across the board poor results are evident.
You and me both. The Google updates are really hitting the small money makers hard. I've seen 1,000's of complaints on various forums.
It's a joke if you ask me, but what can be done? It seems like Google is targeting us small money makers to ecourage us to use adwords.
the funny thing is that they dont even answer comments on their blog... also,bing gives more relevant results this days
I hope bing do take over as market leader for search engines! My sites are ranking pretty well in bing too Google have had their time on top, bout time someone else did.
this is exactly why I don't have all my business based around SEO.. it is too risky! at any time Google can make an update that will change the game, and you will have to find new ways to make money. In worst case, you would have to start all over. I like being in control of every part of my business. Unfortunately, that is not possible with Google cheers
Thumbs up to you pal, I do 50/50 with my marketing. 50% online 50% offline, so if one fails at least I'm still getting the clients, until I figure out how to fix the other 50%
Everytime google updates it comes with some new bad things , i totally agree with you that forum is not worth for such rank for a popular keyword like that, i dont know what is google trying to show....
Remember it's an algo, not human. With all the good, comes some bad. I'm sure like the Panda updates, there will be more Penguins.
I watch some commercial related query that was very benefitial for a site of mine. Before top-10 were mostly online shops. Now its facebook, tumblr, about.com, squeedo and the like. I don't know how this could help "better user experience" and don't see any logic in "penguin" and "above-the-fold-ads war". Google engeneers seem to over-optimize something this time...
bah, google is just trying to lockout the whole internet so only corporations and big shots own the whole thing. We knew it was going to happen sometime. I've been working online for a little over 10yrs and this is my last year for sure. I'm selling out everything I have. I'm tired of wasting my life when its just the super rich that will get ahead.
There is too much to do on internet, I am sure you know alot and do have knowledge. but i dont think you have wasted your time... its just like for a while its not our time then good days come back again after some hard work..
