Been away.. what’s happened ??

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Well it seem like another PR update…

 odd…

 I seeing an update on this blog of no deep links up to december ? ..

 This update isn’t imho making sense on the site so i’m not going to bother commenting on the flow here..

Other sites have had a PR update too.. some up some down .. some odd… (most odd) and some to be expected..

This update imho looks like a freshness PR bonus.. (fresh link are counting a lot)

 

What else…

 

Well …

Google bombing algo change…

The likes of “lair” (was tony bliar at no1 ) and “miserable failure” (was bush at no1) no longer at the top!!!

 

matt cutts has posted regarding this to confirm that this will only effect bombed sites and not and overall algo change..

Serps are moving none stop and as matt said which I post about just over a week ago that the data refresh is set to 1-2 days…

Watching the serps is crazy..

More to come tomorrow..

Data refresh @ 1-2days from 3-4 weeks!

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

A lot my movement on serps and this is why!

 

I’ve mentioned this before, but one of our data pushes that used to happen every 3-4 weeks is now happening more like every 1-2 days. Regular searchers won’t really notice this, but if you see more variance in your rankings, I believe it’s probably due to that data push happening more frequently.

Thanks matt!

Clear and simple :D

The Web is going to look a lot different very soon!!!!

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

 

 google have just update the tos …

You must not match other ads to the google styled ads… Wooo This is going to change everything.. No blending if you have any ads on your site basically.. All the ypn publishers that rotate with adsense MUST change the look of ypn or the adsense ads..

 

What the point ??????

Good write up over at jensense!!

 

However, this also affects ad units that mimic AdSense, yet are not contextual based, something that was always well within the AdSense terms and policies before now. So if you are selling text ads or running affiliate links in ad units that mimic AdSense, you will be in violation of the terms.

Looks like the end of the PR update !

Monday, January 15th, 2007

Lots of people having PR0 on the homepage after this update but hey that happens..

The site that went to pr0 sitewide like myspace and 1 of my clients returned and updated which was a great update in the end :D

Seo home is to young :( looks like the Jan 2007 PR update was a snapshit from around the 2nd week of October…
