Google Penalty Google.com SERP Changes – November 2008
November 11, 2008
Stumble it!Sasters are buzzing with the dramatic changes that are now showing in Google Search results. Is this exactly what Google intends, or are there some significant bugs in the current recipe? A set of holiday season penalties and filters just rolled out. That is normal from Google to do that in the holidays?
I have been see this on my own sites, many of them have been dropped in ranking in some major terms or may be I have say in “all” terms. But I have not been de-indexed from Google. This is strange and hope this will not continue. Here are some webmasters talking about it:

Google sure likes to keep people on there toes eh! I have not looked at any of my sites and from the sounds of it I don’t want to either. This is all the more reason why I want to get into PPC harder, Google plays to many games with peoples sites and there is to much shit going on out there too.

Seems like they’re trying to push the top-money making sites down.

We have no choice but to work with Google!
Google is just constantly improving the user experience, as long as we add value to search engine, all SEO effort will not go into waste…

I experienced this myself, a couple of weeks earlier my blog ranked quite well for certain keywords. Not anymore today when I checked them

I’ve seen dramatic changes to many of my sites even from one hour to the other. It’s indeed strange. What I’ve noticed in one niche where I have many sites, was that when some of them went down in rankings, the others went up.

I have not seen any changes at least so far, but thanks for the tips.The rankings are changing all the time anyway, so perhaps this is nothing to worry about.

PPC or SEO ? This is another example of why you should not rely too heavily on SEO, or only put your efforts into SEO. I wrote a post recently about how to adust your PPC account according to your organic listings.

Agree here with Dan: you can’t rely purely on SEO these days, gotta use PPC sa well

Obviously the rank varies as it might be due to the traffic of other sites and traffic rate of ours simultaneously.., what time it takes for the variations ?

Google has too much power. That is all I really have to say about them. It may go BANG! in their face though.

Yes, Google has been acting that way to make a false impression for people using black hat SEO. Most of the black hat SEO implementers for their websites mostly take down their websites in fear that new google algorith methods will identify them in black list them forever. And they wait for a few weeks until they understand the new algorithm. Already you can see its impact. Google is god of internet and it has many tactics to make false impressions on black hat users. Google is not changing in any way for us. I advice to concentrate on your core issues about your websites.
