While Google messes around with their algorithms (causing many to say “my site has lost traffic) - supposed to be good for the world wide web by cutting out sites that try to manipulate the google search results – it is in fact turning authors who write clear, concise and short articles into authors who now pad out their articles with more words so as not to be penalised. The panda update and then the penguin update has hammered one of my best sites – a website that has great articles – all well written – but only saying what needs saying. The drop in my rankings and the drop in my hits has been dramatic to say the least.
My site has lost traffic – big time. This is my business website – much of the queries I get for my business come through this website – and Google – the lords and masters of ALL that is search-able, have decreed that it is a bad site – what a load of rubbish. I am now going back to each article and rewriting them to have more words – what this means is that my customers will have wade through a verbose lot of nonsense to glean the pertinent facts about the products – from 150 hits a day down to a pitiful 30 hits per day! What has google created? A mess I reckon – now instead of well written articles that inform and teach the Internet will be filled with words, words and more words – what happened to brevity? It is dead as we know it – GOOGLE killed it!
The other thing Google is planning is results in the search engines that are local – mmm … not a bad idea if I am looking for pizza – I would want to find pizza shops close by – but what if I am searching for specialist poultry software – I want to search the WORLD WIDE WEB – not the neighbourhood web. I want results from everywhere so I can find the best price and product – no matter where in the world they are! So, has Google also killed the world wide web – well I reckon that that is going to be the result. Has your website lost traffic? Well my website also lost it’s Google rank – the lords of the Internet decided that what was once a rank 3 web page is now only a rank 1. Is this because I do not put up new, fattened out articles talking about the same stuff over and over up? Well if you are not updating and writing new articles every week then your website is not considered worth placing in the results – what a crock of (you add the word – Google will penalise me) – Once my products and services are described in detail, and picture and videos are shown – what more is there to do – I’ll tell you what – write more and more about the same – in as many different words as you can (called spinning and article) – upload more pictures and videos of the same stuff from different angle and with different names – and Google will love you. Your customers and visitors may not like it much – but hey – you need traffic to stay in business – and it seems that this method is the only way that works. As I said in one of my previous articles – web SEO, and now Google, are the reason the web is turning into the World Wide Rubbish Basket.
The panda update and the penguin update – my site has lost traffic, a huge drop in traffic which means a drop in hits – back linking is the way – but forget back links from sites that are related and interested – if they are on Google’s bad boy list they will hurt you. That means sites that have lots of money can buy back links from well ranked sites – while you can only hope that a bad bot site does not link to you – and of course you have no control over that. The whole back link thing is a scam anyway – guys who want their sites on the first page of google will spend time money and effort so as to get back links from forum and sites – this is plain manipulation – but Google does not see it that way – how they do not I am not sure. Surely they can find a better way to rank sites. But for the moment – speak a lot of drivel – buy back links but don’t get caught out – and if you are using AdSense to make a living – make sure you have another source of income – because the lords and masters of the world wide web hold your income and life in their hands – and they might change the game at anytime ….
