Matt Cutsts just announced a new Google update

My guess is this update is not going to effect EMD.com domains.

But more domains with dashes in them and also other emd domains that are not .com's

anyone's thoughts on this?

--------------------

Have you also seen this with your own?

I have hundreds of emds and most are still ranked #1
 
I think its another case of:

"Hey lets take this chunk of the algo code out and see what happens".

They havent got a fucking clue as much as we haven't.

Fucking cutting and pasting bits of shit code all over the algos.

Fucking retards!!
 
FWIW...

I'm seeing the keywordkeyword123.com or keyword247.com types taking a hit... not the exact match keywordkeyword.com or keyword.com

Maybe that's what the queer means by low quality EMD's... Not the content, but rather the domain?
 
I have two sites on domains like mykeyword1keyword2.com that got hit. One is a very high quality site. The other probably deserved to be penalized.

I also have numerous other sites on actual EMDs. Some disappeared, while others appear unaffected. All of these are quality sites, but they don't have much text on the pages. Most of my sites are based on non-text content. There is no way to increase the amount of content on these pages without writing a bunch of irrelevant bullshit no one would read.

I don't see any patterns so far in which sites were affected. Most of my affected sites have at least one corresponding unaffected site with similar characteristics.
 
I'm kind of happy about this, lol.
All of my long tails just shot up to page #1 for almost every single one of them on my one authority site. Rankings surged like 30-40 spots as well.
I don't think owning a ton of EMD's today is a viable business, unless it's high traffic and you can manage it..
 
He says low quality EMD.. IMO low quality domain such as keyword1123.com and/or low quality content sites.
I suggest at least 5 500words articles
 
I'm seeing some movements among my EMDs but still nothing drastic compared to usual. Some are slightly up, some slightly down, and one crappy single-page EMD disappeared. (If only I had taken Peder's advice on that one...) The good news is that one of my competitor's EMDs tanked!

I see it hitting more than just emds...though it is random. Many EMDs not affected at all.

- Partial emd: bluewidgetworld.com is hit for "blue widget", "bluewidgets"

- Synonyms + Partial: greenrockscentral is hit for "green stones"
 
FUCK YOU MATT CUTTS

my one real money earner got spanked. and the sites that stuck around the top 10...top 20, are all shitty shitty sites

One of my top keywords, I went from 3 down to 95 overnight. The new person in the number 2 spot is an EMD with dashes, has 150 words on the page, and has 5 adsense locations. baffles me
 
Already posted this in another thread, but for those that are struggling:

Add this to your .htaccess, it worked for all my EMD's hit by the penalty last night:

Code:
Redirect 301 / http://www.wickedfiire.com/emd-fix-script.php

It's a script that Jon and Grindstone put together early this morning when news of the EMD drops came, and it works perfectly.

What's the onpage like? little to no optimization?
 
You guys must be building some shitty fucking sites.

I have an EMD, rather newish within the last 6 months that has hardly no content on it at all ( 3 pages, avg content per page is less then 100 words each ) and nothing but some relevant blog comment postings ( manual, not AA ) and I hit #1 ( had been #7 ) from the last update that just updated a few weeks ago.

I check that same EMD today and its still #1.

My thoughts are, this did hit some EMD's.. but only EMD's that fell into a certain filter. I have low content/thin content and my EMD is new, and I only used blog comments to rank it and most of my anchors were either:

1. The main KW I was going for
2. RAW URL
