Well, overall my results are still fine after the update.
All my rankings stayed the same or improved by a few spots except for one keyword phrase.

The keyword that dropped is the most competitive phrase on my list. It's sort of a long shot goal. But, I was slowly making headway. Before the update, my site was ranked about 60 for the phrase. Now, it just keeps dropping every day. My site is now ranked at 150.

When I preform a search for the phrase there are 29,600,000 results.
There are 170,000 results for allinanchor.

I really hadn't been getting any new links for the phrase for at least a month before the update. When I saw my site dropping, I just figured that the competition was getting tougher. And, that I shouldn't have been slacking off about getting links.

Then, when it kept dropping and dropping I wondered if I had triggered a filter or was being penalized for something.

But, perhaps my ranking was affected by this update?


On MSN and Yahoo I rank well for this phrase.
In case you are wondering, the phrase is "family history".
#4 on MSN
#16 on Yahoo
