I thought penguin had gone and this was Seagull, I mean Hummingbird..

Well whether it's penguin or Hummingbird or a mix of the two, it's fucking me over real bad. :thumbsup

Thanks for that Google. I wish I hadn't bought so mant adwords of off you. :321GFY

so far i don't see it doing too much damage, but it's not helping any that's for sure :(

My viagra spam site is down damn...

traffic is up!!

Yeah, for me too. How are sales?

Sales seem about the same as during the week, which hopefully means they are up since they are normally lower than weekdays. Will find out tomorrow!

25% drop in my best site

Took a quick look, search traffic looks slightly higher on my best site, I'll dig into it more in a few days and check all my sites as heading to Ohio tomorrow.

even wikipedia got fucked on this one

One of my sites got totally fucked, some of the keywords didn't loose that much ranking but the URL changed.
Dumb ass google...

No change here.

Dumb ass Google indeed.

Now when you search for an article my sites show in the SERPS but on both sites it's the tag page that is shown rather than the relevant article itself.

In my quick analysis for pages I was previously ranking p1 for:

An authority site written in 2005 is #1, my site written in 2013 isn't even top 30
The old problem of sites taking the entire 1st page is back after briefly being corrected.

In my random surfer search for 'skip metro suite' the page I wanted doesn't even appear in the top 50 results. Crappy spammy Chinese results make it though as do irrelevent wordpress results.

Garbage.

No change.

Although I was already in a deep hole so not much to lose.

Webcam whitelabels - Huge drop around 60%

MGP / tubes - 20% drop

Paysites - 35% increase

Looks like webcams took the largest hit from this update

Had a thread about this on sat morning,still no major changes on my end

I don't really see any changes in my traffic

when was that corrected? Imo it got way worse after the last update.

Nice read thanks for sharing.

Google still shows in first page results a blackhat domain with livejasmin in name which simply redirects to a livejasmin whitelabel, see my posts there:

Until google lists in first page any domain-with-copy-keyword.com redirecting to whitelabel-with-any-unrelated-name.com I think they failed. Until then, I suggest you register things like "myfreecams-cam4-chaturbate.com" and redirect to a whitelabel "djhgfdfgfgdf.com", it will go on first page perhaps.

Time to switch on mainstream!

Cause it's that easy right ;)

:winkwink::2 cents:

I don't like google.

Why don't you report him to google???

no changes here :2 cents::2 cents:

Hummingbird is supposed to a completely new engine that has Penguin parts.

Such a good update... congrats G, now the first page of my targeting keywords is full of comment spaming websites.. No woryes i will switch to this tactic too.. fkin G

One site is down like 90 percent. Another is down about 50 percent. The rest are untouched. This update got us bad.

50% up for my tube since 2 days ago, will probably not last... will see

first 2 pages on one of my min keywords are now filled with.....fucking forum discussions

google and everyone there can get cancer ...

torrents and file indexers on the first pages ... for new porn sites i got from page three to page 30, and there is like serious-partners website on page 8 and so ... total out of mind serps, they really can get fucked to the ass ... google fucked up seriously bad ... nobody there knows whats going on and how to do anything with it ... google is fucked up and useless ... :2 cents:

i am getting some serps to some keywords on sites that are totally without those keywords, and some seoed pages that worked for years are now on page 30+ ... seriously, fuck off google bitch!

torrents are everywhere. :Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

This is really bad. I don't think I am alone in feeling hard done by.

The landscape created by these Google updates is depressing. The web just gets smaller and smaller and smaller

These threads never get old. You guys are still SEOing like its 2006. Stop caring about what Google does and just build good sites, with great content, people will link to you, your traffic will grow, and you will rank for the terms you want. There is no more gaming the system in any kind of a white way. Grey and black it up all you want still these days, but if you aren't traveling those roads, then just build good sites, with great content, people will link to you, your traffic will grow, and you will rank.
