The "What Are You Working On?" Thread - Week Ending Mar 16 2013

[Ms Naughty]

Hello all
I am editing some of the video we shot last week (four scenes in 2 days). And I wanted to whinge about the fact that we bought a Nikon D5100 from Kogan.com and after 4 weeks it has a dead pixel. We're flying out to Canada in less than 2 weeks, need that fucking camera. So.... aaarrgghhh!

Also, Google just booted my one remaining top 5 entry to the back of the index. I'm really perplexed as to what is going on but it seems to have decided that if you have your keyword/phrase as the domain name, you're a spammer. Because that makes so much sense.

So basically: argh! Thought I'd come on the board and complain. Also been hellishly busy so I've neglected you all again.

So :waves:

Sure it isn't something else? Could it be a bad backlink from the Panda update. People on GFY complaining about sudden drops in Google rankings.

whinge
Complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way

The more you know, the more you grow!

I feel your pain. That EMD Update that kicked in last September is continuing to hurt a lot of people who have Exact Match Domains.

You can find some recovery tips...

You probably (like most of us) have a lot of links pointing to your site that use the words in your domain's URL as the anchor text. If that's the case you'll definitely want to dilute that to make your link profile seem more natural to The Big G.

Curious about that - have 2 domains that has been hit on the beginning (those couple of months ago) yet changing update rates and diversifying links helped a bit, i'm back on track to top In the same time I see a lot of domains having the keywords in, very low amount of backlinks and they hit top 10.... weird stuff!

will do a next bunch of free sites with totally different links and will see how this works
