Jez,

Is it a fairly new site? I am not seeing anything huge in my main SERP's.
Just a few sites moving up and down a spot. I am not going deep into the
index though, just the top 20 for the most SERPs.

My harder ones I am working on I just moved up to 49(yeah!) I was 80
something. But with that SERP I have been 40 something a few months ago. :-)
It is a SERP that you need to keep up with it!

Hi Stacey,

It's not a new site - it's my oldest. I can only hope it's a glitch as I
am hearing lots of people are experiencing the same - or worse.

Your Rustic Stone one? I see you at #2 for house signs. But I don't know all
of your SERPs you watch. I hope it is a glitch.

Hi Jez
They did a deep crawl the other day which may affected things. Check
on scroogle as I was dropped by the Allegra update for a keyword, but
that same keyword is now ranging between 1 - 6th position depending on
the DC and a few DC's that keyword is not even appearing.

It maybe waiting to catch up on all the other DC's

I've not seen much change although for some weaker keywords Google can
be very erratic - e.g. top ten one day not in the top 1000 next.

I found this - it seems to fit what I have seen:


Strait, a number of people here (but mostly on WMW) are seeing an update
happening over the last few days. A lot of people, however, see no
changes at all. Apparently, something is going on, but it hasn't yet
affected a broad range of terms. Here's my guess. As each new update
happens, another segment is affected. September affected segment A,
December affected segment B, February affected segment C, March affected
segment D, and May is affecting segment E. I don't know what the
criteria is for which segments are chosen, but the same outcome is
happening to a select group of sites each time, but the groups are
different. My next guess is that Google is unable or unwilling to apply
the update to the entire index, so it is doing it piecemeal every 45-55
days or so. Each time it happens, a group of people feel the heat, while
a large group does not. Eventually, over the next few months, everyone
(nearly) will have gone through the fire.

There's definitely something (bad) happening.

Depends on your point of view. There's always going to be a page at
the #1 position, and ten in the top ten, so somebody's going to be
happy.

Usually the spammy sites, IMO. Google in it quest to rid the net of spam
too often throws the baby out with the bath water.
