Aaron Wall has an interesting article detailing how his SEOBook and SEOGuy websites have been dumped in the recent Google update.
WebProWorld. "A couple of the sites that were hit in the Google update were ranking well in most major search engines for the term "SEO." Recently SEO Book blog also ranked in the top 10 - 20 sites since June of last year. I just checked Yahoo! and MSN and SEO Guy was #1 for "SEO" on both sites. My site was #4 and #6. Teoma is a topical clustering based search engine and even their algorithm still ranks my site at #11. After the recent Google update both SEO Guy and SEO Book no longer rank in Google for their official site names." Many theories and surmizes follow, but they boil down to this: Over optimized sites have been hit again... This also ties in nicely with a thread i read a bit of over at WMW recently: What i wonder now is this:- Is Google specifically targeting SEO efforts?
- How does this change the SEO game? I think the first one is a bit of a no brainer :) but the second should provide some food for thought ... right? Personally, as I've said before, the harder this game becomes the better off the industry will be.. Thanks Nick Wilson is the publisher and founder of Register here to participate.
