Google Full Dance is On

[T Pat]

Every Time Google dances I freekout and post here crying about my lost SERP's then I slowly get them back
So I wasn't going to look at any stats this time until the dance was done and things settled back down
The slow down in new members in the last week or so changed my mind
last month I had over 15000 search engine hits (Tijuana related), If it stays like this I'll be lucky to get 7000 this month

Hey Fred are you optimizing your sites (meta tags, using keywords etc.)
You might want to play with word tracker and find a key word phrase with good numbers and low competition and build a few free sites useing those keywords

hi Pat yea I do the meta tags, alt tags everthing i have read about search engines nothing ever happens. I had a good listing before this last change on one of my free sites it was #2 for plump rump but it only lasted a few weeks then the hits stoped coming. If I depended on search engine traffic to make my sales I would have had to quit this biz a long time ago.

If this dance isn't over yet, I hope it's over soon.

I did some google monitoring today and it was insane, every 30-60 minutes listings would go from one place to another.

I had a few nice listings that I didn't have before the dance only for them to vanish again later on.. google is making me dizzy!!


I also noticed that I have some REALLY high listings in Yahoo.. I wonder why the traffic isn't as much or as good?

Y! doesn't have nearly the search market share that G has, although if you separate out the traffic normally Y converts better...

It's the same every update - the spam dominates for the first few days, then filters get applied and the people that try to do legit SEO get a few days of traffic, then the fresh spam takes over again.

Now that's what I call an optimistic outlook - so we can never win unless we re-tweak our pages constantly (for which I don't have the time - - - unless I don't build/submit anything new anymore)...
