Google ended me
 

Yeah pretty much ... that is all.

Blocked your site?

Hang in there tony, it's seemingly ended me before as well, but then within a couple of months I've been up to record sales

you know man, there is no perpetuum mobile for anything. if you do still the same, sure it will get boring to you or to others, in your case to google. just adjust what worked and do more different things, it takes time, but money arent for nothing :winkwink: have luck in future! :)

Sorry to hear that.

50%-75% loss in traffic, 50% decrease in revenue in last week, usually when revenue dips traffic remains but the busiest sites have been removed for the serps completely. Not looking good.

You could be back any day, it hasn't settled down yet

I make next to nothing in adult but I have completely stopped worrying about google and just started building and posting more often with quality. That is the ticket I think. I am a tiny webmaster but it seems to me like Mr. G really wants quality now.

Google ended a lot of people when they killed off the other search engines. I miss the days when I used to dominate Excite and Lycos.

Ahhh ... the old goto days.


.

only 1 of my sites is down around 30-40% but thats the only one i have tried to get a lot of backlinks

The first real money I made in this business was basically slamming AOL search and Alta Vista with small sites I made. I had it down to a near science where I could have a top 10 spot for just about any keyword. It would only last 1-3 days, before I dropped deep into the serps, but I just kept building.

It was easy money.

White hat SEO ftw! :winkwink:

I dont do blackhat seo btw and most my sites have few ads

Hm. If you have Sensual Writer blogs, a lot of those dropped on G for me but that's about it. No clue yet about the new update other than they're trying to prevent 'over optimization' but that's too vague of an answer..

never good to put your eggs in just one basket

I've actually stopped installing seo plugins on new blogs. Not sure if this is good or bad but we will find out.

This. :2 cents:

Diversification is the key.

You only need 1-2 good ones for SEO. Too many can slow things down and sometimes do worse to your blogs than no plugins at all.. :2 cents:

Sorry to hear that. I've been there before and took a small hit this time as well. It can help to cut expenses, look for ways to improve monetization and try to work smarter. Try to do some stuff which doesn't rely as much on Google if you can.

Just work your magic on xhamster and you 'll be fine...

this was the google penguin update. They're targeting "over optimized" sites, keyword stuffing, poor quality backlinks.... basically sites that don't follow the quality guidelines. There's quite a bunch of info on it now, read up a little on it.

1. Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines. Don’t deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as “cloaking.”

2. Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, “Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn’t exist?”

3. Don’t participate in link schemes designed to increase your site’s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.

4. Don’t use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.

Because they target something does not mean every site they hit is necessarily guilty of anything. It's a set of complex computer algorithms so it's going to have some false positives and the evidence suggests it's much higher than they make it out to be for smaller sites and brands especially. He could be doing everything legit and still get hit due to some small technicality. That's the way it is. Google is much more volatile now.

So what they are saying is;

Get links to your site, but don't get links, especially from bad neighborhoods(whatever that is?) Like you have control over that.

If your site is about anal asian teens boys use that keyword but don't use that keyword because it looks like you are keyword stuffing.

Don't have any google search Queries to your site that's bad, people should not be searching for your keywords too much.

Don't try and improve your page rank, Page rank is bad!

So basically google wants you to make the surfer happy and give everything away to the surfer for free. That's why the tubes rank the best.

I understand that, I was just offering some suggestions of things he could look into.

And bounce rate is total bullshit. I'm the fastest mother fucker with a mouse!

And what the fuck is premium content? Yeah, It's in the members area google mother fucker. You gotta pay for it!

They haven't done me any favours either :(

ADAPT or DIE...

Google didn't affect any of my sites at all, in fact I got more traffic after the update.

ADAPT or DIE, which means: "If you keep using shitty traffic trading scripts to try to FORCE a GROW on your traffic and TRICK and SCAM the VISITOR and send him to another ste instead of the thumbnail he clicked, your site will get penalized."

I hate as a surfer clicking on a thumbnail and not getting the content I see in that thumbnail. Or clicking on any link on a site and getting a shitty LIVEJASMIN POPUP like most shitty tubes have. GOOGLE HATES that too.

Man, get real, on some sites you even click on the 2257 link or on the contact us link and a livejasmin popup OPENS, What the fuck? If that is not scamming like crazy I dont know what it. You bunch of TRICKY losers.

Period.

Error: if they don't exist, you don't have to follow their rules...

welcome to PANDA

Soory, but you're so fucking wrong with this.
TUBES OPEN POPUNDERS AND POPUPS EVERY TIME YOU CLICK A LINK AND THEY COMPLETELY DOMINATE GOOGLE'S SEARCH RESULTS!!

i agree with venus blogger. The pop under, i just normally close and continue surfing.

But tubes DOMINATE search results. They have popunder. Popups and all kind of shit.

They get tens of million visitors a day. They don't care if you leave.

Google loves them

I use popunders on blogs that aren't converting for me so I can at least get some money out of them. I hate them and they do piss me off but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. On the few blogs I have the popunders on, Google doesn't seem to mind at all.

Great post. :thumbsup Explains why tubes using above mentioned techniques continue to dominate Google's search results after Penguin went live.

dont put all baskets into one egg.

That's probably b/c a popup will open whenever a surfer clicks on any link. Period.

True, but do any use traffic trading scripts?
