Me neither - lol...
Then again I haven't seen many reports of success in doing anything to retrieve lost rankings since 'Florida' happened... everybody is panicking and looking for reasons / answers (understandably).
The one thing that causes me the most hassle & wasted time is 'seo gurus' who preach as facts what are really only guesses
urb - that article is very interesting - 'clumsy attempt' is the 'keyword' there though... whatever the hell they tried to do it sure has been clumsy!
Jay,
I wasn't doing anything 'shady' - had a nicely balanced index page when I last optimised it - then I added a lot of link exchanges (most of them included my keywords) - when I checked my concentration the other day the count for 'porn' had increased from 16% to 26% - lol (the same for several other phrases) - so now I'm one of those spamming bastards too!
I've since reduced it a little but I don't want to make any major attempt to de/re-optimise because I'm sure they haven't finished with this dance (although they may well take some time out to work on the problems) - If I make changes I'll never know for sure whether that had any bearing...
It's amazing how a few link exchanges can change the balance of words on a page though |doh|
