Some results are just plain WACKED OUT.

I agree 100%.

I've read hundreds of posts, theories, seo threads, articles & opinions, checked out hundreds of top listings for various keywords - there doesn't seem to be any sort of pattern and EVERY theory I've heard can be disproved after a few searches.

I think what has happened here is that Google has gotten tired of SEOs over doing it again, and having highly optimized pages come up at the top of all the best searches.

The 'penalising 4 heavy seo' theory is the hardest to understand IMO, after all the existing set of 'accepted seo techniques' was developed by wm's to follow googles own method of discerning the highest relevant online content... To remove pages that have - by their own methods - proven to have the 'most relevant' results is just plain fucking silly! (Hmmmmm - "Dear Mr Google - RU just plain fucking silly?"... maybe you're right - lol)

The problem is they haven't...

Some have gone, some have moved, some have remained... Penisbot still ranks #1 for 'porn' for example!

Hi Jay - I think you were right when you retracted that statement, even the 'deliberate attempt to promote ppc' theory falls apart for many phrases...
I'm not suprised you're pissed though - the results for the term xxx are a complete lot of bollocks (pardon me) - ip address finders (inserted '.xxx.xxx' for the last 6 digits) - how the fuck is that relevant when searching for xxx?

Glad to see you still have some good high listings though

Yeah. It's a whole new ball game with Google unless they update again before Xmas and bring back results similar to the past- before this update.

Not only a whole new game but the rules appear to differ for almost every keyword or phrase and unless they fix it quickly the several hundred theories now being optimised for will result in the undoing of years of googles own best work IMHO!

PS: Dear Mr Google |pissleft| - Merry fucking christmas...
