List of sites that got SMOKED by Google's Penguin update
 

If Penguin hit you hard like Panda, you're in good company. Google says only 3.1% of total searches were affected... but you can bet a good chunk of that segment are highly commercialized niches.

:Oh crap

good, looks like you have more accessories

Auch, some big sites were affected indeed. Let's wait and see what happens next.

i blame paul markham

what is the source of the first list? How do they calculate "SEO visibility"?

So basically SEO optimization is for shit?

Quality over quantity. :2 cents: They are finally starting to get it right over there at Google.

and what is wrong with comcast, digg, dictionary?

Google doesn't like Comcast.

Digg sucks ass, and is just spammy everywhere you look.

And Dictionary.com is probably a mistake. It appears everywhere I search. That's why Google made this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...ZkaTBQbkE6M Q

Taking out the competition

:mad::mad: Panda did that why, why they fucked sites?

sue them!

:1orglaugh:helpme

Seen a few things drop myself... shitty deal, I'm not worried though, constant updates and quality of incoming links (no link schemes) will prevail over time.

Anyone here get hit?

I certainly see some top seo guys that were on every search result I've been doing over the last 2 months and now some of them are gone....

dslreports has been offline, or nearly offline for the last 2 weeks

lol @ empty pages ranking #1

I'm guessing that Google is dropping big sites on purpose since if those big sites have money for SEO, then they have money for more paid search results...

That is how yahoo killed their directory search engine about 10 years ago. . Demanding profitable sites to pay to be included

Let's look at the full story here:

"A lot of these losers are database-driven websites – they mainly aggregate information and use large database systems to create as many pages as possible. Sites such as songlyrics.com, great-quotes.com, cubestat.com or lotsofjokes.com fall into this pattern. It makes sense that these sites will lose visibility.

Press portals and feed aggregators such as pressabout.us, newsalloy.com and bloglines.com were also affected, which makes sense from a Google point of view since these are the website types that are very often created by very aggressive (possibly overly aggressive) SEOs and often contain similar content.

A couple of heavily template-based websites were also affected – ticketnetwork.com/ticketcity.com, hotelscombined.com and customerservicenumbers.com fit Google’s anti-SEO bill perfectly when it comes automatically (possibly also spun) content.

Furthermore, a lot of sites that copy or rehash other peoples’ content (or are used by their users to do that) were demoted – examples include mayor sites such as digg.com, folkd.com and pastebin.com."

So sites that try to generate zillions of pages for ad views largely got hit, wow Google really fucked that up, not. Many of these sites were exactly the kind of thing Google was targeting.

good to see those automated spam factories knocked out of the serps :2 cents:

Google will update themselves out of business thanks to their do evil to please shareholders greed.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????

who cares

lots of forums doing well :)

I'm glad that great-quotes.com is going down ...

Surprised LiveStrong.com et al didn't get a kick in the nuts again, and that more lyrics websites didn't as well.
