Google Dance

Interesting comment, Linkster. I'm seeing lots of changes on a site that has been steady for a couple of years now. Some good some bad. Also, a bunch of my other sites are showing signs of movement, most of those positive. To me, it looks like a full-blown dance like they used to do in the old days. Could the google outage explain something like that? It's hard for me to tell everything right now, because the place that I host that steady site is having problems too (according to my logs, although they're denying any problems).

Interestingly - Ive noticed one change that has me kinda baffled - they seem to be filtering(censoring) a few more word combinations than they used to - in the past if the phrase had two meanings they would just allow the best site to rank whether it was adult or not. It looks like either their filters are all out of whack, or they are adding some phrases to that list - maybe they are getting ready for the firestorm ahead

The database rollback is definitely there - although like you mentioned Capt - that wouldnt affect a site that had ranked for that long - the only other info I have available right now is that Adsense also went down last night as part of the outage - not sure if Google has any ties between the index and that - but I wouldnt be surprised no matter how much they decline to answer that one
