    Yup. I sense a Penguin refresh coming soon(-ish). Now that one I'm a little scared of, lol.

      You are exactly right. Almost all the top 10 results on any given keyword (one with significant search traffic) belongs to the big guys: Walmart, Amazon, insurance companies, etc. My sites used to be all over Google and often page 1 number 1 and were quality sites with good backlinking structure. Now they rank only on Yahoo/Bing. You can still get to page one in Google for long tails, but you won't stay there long.

      I keep hoping that a penalised site of mine will magically spring back in one of these updates that seem to happen around 24-26th of each month.

      Think the site I am keeping fingers crossed for tanked on May 26th, which would've been a Penguin. Maybe August 26th, 3-month anniversary .

    Yea I've noticed a jump in my main site...

    I changed a few onpage tags on Friday and over the weekend we jumped up 3 places and today we have jumpped for #50 to #42...

    I think there might have been a penguin refresh too.

    :-)

    I did not find any a big change in my rankings after Panda 3.9, so all I can say that I m safe so far.

    I think it is still too soon to see any impact of the update. I would give the search results a few days to settle to see what the actual impact is.

      As long as you follow there guidelines then you have nothing to worry about, getting rid of all the small crappy sites with no content and blackhat seo will only improve your websites rankings providing you follow by there rules.

      Play the game with them not against them

        Wrong. Sites with 25 pages of extremely well written, valuable content with no spammy practices and who follow guidelines loose rank all the time with these updates. Ask around.

          Waddup Troll. I've done NO backlinking, and last week I was averaging 20 views a day (UNIQUE visitors and from search engines). And NOW I'm up to 30-40 unique viistors and it's just going higher without any type of penalty nor backlinks. This is adding content within a couple of days and it's already getting me traffic. I don't need to wait for a year.

    No changes here really, almost like it didn't happen. Perhaps google was telling the truth this time when they said it will only affect 1% of queries

    Damn, one little update is all it takes to scare some of you off, huh? The game is the same as it always has been: algo change, SEO's adjust, algo change, etc

    The tanked sites coming back with no work done to them since tanking is funny. Makes it seem like google is just throwing darts at a board on the wall and changing whatever target gets hit

    At the end of May my best moneymaking keyword went from #2 to around 50. Today it came back at #3.

    I had my best day for weeks.

        Changed theme to Thesis last week. Some minor changes to content, reduced size of the front page and created new pages from that content. Changed titles up a little and added description to most pages.

        That was it.

    Once you will be on top then try to do branding instead of promoting web site or generating back links using anchor text.

    See, Toppers never moves, so be on top once keep maintain it rather than creating low quality back links and over optimization. Wish you good luck!

    Couple of changes no major changes. But it has been almost 2 months since the Penguin Update rolled out so a new update is round the corner.

    I have watched my site clime in the rankings the last couple of weeks, it was at #19 last weekend and then yesterday it was up to #15. I checked today and it is gone, not even in the top 100. Maybe after a few days things will settle down and it will show back up.

    My site dramatically improved, many of my keywords went from page 4 to page 1. For both inner pages and the home page. I'm getting a significantly higher amount of traffic. I've only noticed positive results from this update so far.
