Nail on the head right there. Same with tumblr, facebook and the rest of them.

Agree ...

Really google penalizes sites reported too much for piracy (they say so), also the "chilling effects" hides results of reported sites completely. It is however a fact that people want free stuff and bookmarks what is free and so these sites with free stuff become an authority and so are shown first place, unless reported for very bad crimes.

Pretty well for me so far

Well one very bad thing that i noticed, is that Google is trying to figure out "the meaning" of the query ,and not the actual query it self.:1orglaugh
I see very spammy results even Indian:Hollering dating site being No1 :Hollering
Its amazing that mutt cutts really thinks he can figure out what's inside the mind of billions of people...

In non adult keywords also the same shit

:thumbsup agreed, if they end up on the front page great if not who gives a fuck, not gonna make adjustments every time they decide to tweak their engine as it never ends, build quality the rest will follow :2 cents:

I give a fuck.

Now, I may do things different to you 'players' but, after several years out of the biz I decided to give it one more shot.
I set about creating new sites. I concentrated on creating great content that people would actually want to read. I purchased themes and made it my point to provide the visitors with the best content I can provide.

I have twitter, facebook, digg and stumbleupon accounts. I share my posts but it's rare to get a link back. PEOPLE DON'T FOLLOW.. Adult Sites.

Since the beginning of October I have lost all my rankings. Terms I was P1 for I are no where to be found.
After Oct 4th I noticed my trafic drop as well, by 60%..

Unless things change I am effectively out of business.

It's easy to say I don't care about Google but (in my case) Google send me 90% of my traffic. Take that away and what have I left?

Have you tried tumblr? It's generally easier to get followers on there.

Lucas do u know who seeric is ? He took a stand against piracy think it was somewhere in 2007, He does know his shit... Take his advice buddy:thumbsup

well a lot of high ranking cam white labels really tanked with this update...

I'd like to believe that but just don't.

Until they delete your blog ...

does someone knows the solution right now after the update on how to rank ????????

traffic up 20%+ across my networks. small % of sites lost but most held steady or gained
