But as long as Bill is still at the top for misserbale failure then we know it's about incoming links with anchor text.

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

Ryan-

Bill was our Pres a few years back. George W. Is who I think you meant. (Canadians) LOL

I would like to know how to remove the page rank glitch from my site....

FYI....

More than everflux. I had a KW that moved up seven spots overnight. IMO... Google is addressing some of the issues.

So what is the vote, is the big G still making changes or is it a done deal as of now and we have to wait for the next big update to see some more changes.

I think that there is always tinkering every month, in fact i am sure that Google Guy once said that they tried to spread changes as opposed to having one big change...but the main changes i think will stick for a few months. It would be eating too much humble pie to wind it all back ??

That only works if there is no competition, everyone who is listed is also pointing at that site. If someone was selling "miserable failure" do you think that would effect the serps?? I do if they were working at it.

I'm sorry to all our American friends, I was having a brain fart when I posted bill as the president, when it's actually George Bush.

Hahha and we complain about you guys thinking we live in Igloos. My bad and I'm sorry.

That's okay seokid.

We Americans know that igloos wouldn't work too well for you Canadians, since there wouldn't be room for everyone's pet moose, the hockey sticks, AND all the cases of Molsons, 'eh?
