Jagger 2!! Why is it that old sites that have not been updated in years are ranking better than mine? Why is it that I rank lower than websites that link to me for my domain name as a keyword? Even though my content is much better.

I have been watching Bourbon, Gilligan and Jagger but still no luck. I don’t use any hidden text nor any other blackhat techniques. I have always followed webmaster guidelines but still i keep getting stuck for some reason

marcia i totally agree with you. My ‘questionable’ site is doing very well while my totally decent sites have been kicked off. Google has one dodgy algorithm!!

Backlinks

If I have the domain name http://www.example.co.uk and want to create more backlinks to the domain and use a sub-domain for tracking like http://links.example.co.uk so I can see how successful my backlinks are.

Will the link from an external site that uses my sub domain http://links.example.co.uk count as 1 backlink for the main url http://www.example.co.uk

Thanks

Matt

digitalidiom.co.uk I noticed has hidden text and links using class=secret in the source code. Is Google detecting and penalising this automatically or should it still be reported?

On another point it seems that they’re also using the same tactics on their client sites.

I benefitted the most out of the jagger updates. I am receiving over 5000 hits from Google Good enough I guess.

I have to say I’m going to miss seeing garbage web pages consisting of nothing but keyword spam and hidden text dominating the google serps. Not that I like them, I despise them as much as the next guy, but I can’t help feeling like their absence will leave a void and things just won’t seem right without them. Out of balance, a little wobbly. Something so familiar, so consistently THERE no matter how many times youve been told it’s dead and gone…been hearing that for what, 6-7 years now right? How can there be a google dance (er, oops, um, I mean “update”) without the ensuing flood of complaints that, yes godammit, it’s still there, all over the place. The zero-content, keyword spammy hidden text pages, or ZCKSHTP’s.

It’s a ying/yang sorta thing: google dances, google gets owned by the ZCKSHTP’s. webmasters cry. google dances. google gets owned by the ZCKSHTP’s… Time after time, year after year. It’s an integral part of the ritual. You can’t just take away the yang and think it’s gonna be ying ying ying from now on – I tell you SOMETHINGS gotta give if the ZCKSHTP’s are going away, it’s not natural.

Oh wait a minute, can it be? Um, hey everybody, don’t lok now but they’re still here! My gosh they’re verywhere! It’s gonna be ok after all. Score one more for the ZCKSHTP’s. Hey google, chin up, dust yourself off and get back in that saddle. You’ve been owned once again but there’s always next month right?

I’m no programmer, but maybe try something like this:
IF
exclude from google serps
END IF

Don’t even need an AND/OR for this one!

ps: And hey, if you patent my code I expect some damn royalties right?

liquidblue, the jagger is the name given to the most recent Google update.

I believe, the guys over at WebmasterWorld name the updates.

It has affected people differently…some good, some bad.

The biggest change was Google penalizing for hidden text.

Hope this helps.

Hey Matt,

Why not post a poll to find out what everyone thinks about the new jagger results.

ex.
POLL: What do you think about the quality Google results after jagger update?
Better > Worse > Same
