Thread: did google make any changes?

  1. #1

    did google make any changes?

    all the searches where i used to come up in the top 3-5 spots i've now dropped to the 50th or so spot. i did make a few changes to my site, but i checked google's cache and they haven't updated these pages in about a month, so that shouldn't by why. what else could it be? my traffic has dropped to about 1/3 of what it usually is... =\

    I think Google is definitely up to something. My "Indy Racing Collectibles" site used to be #1 for "Indy Racing Collectibles" (makes sense, right?). Now guess what is #1? Website Publisher!! DOH!! My traffic has dropped dramatically in the last few weeks (not that it was that much to begin with).

    I think we may just have to be patient and wait for more updates.

    I shouldn't think so Incka. What reason is there to keep them a secret?

    If everyone knows then they lose their power.

    Since we all try not to compete with sites, maybe there should be a Web Pub private SEO tip forum, for regulars

    I should be excluded - I copied Mike's idea once. (I've let him copy some of my future ones in return if he wants)...
