I know theres no point complaining, or asking why but..
I spent a long time building a good site with lots of quality links (some not so good but who doesnt have these?)
Just feel like giving up, thought I knew how to do this but the serps say otherwise. Maybe it will all turn around in a few days but its unlikely. Coolstorybro but im crushed, I have no idea what to do and no-where to go

Either way, I guess it was pretty much inevitable, I just would have prefered it happening later rather than sooner.
yes, site not banned but down on every keyword. Theres a chance I could recover some for certain long tails where im the only guy really working it (maybe thats the problem). Its deffinitly been fun but dont think my sanity can handle the swings in this industry anymore
Lol I feel you. Oh well, guess I just gotta start over thinking fresh, good thing I'm still young.
you mother fuckers got me freaked out. did a quick spot check across like 20 domains...I'm not seeing anything. the fuck you talking about.
a couple EMDs went down a couple places here and there, but nothing drastic. the fuck you guys doing, still buying mass blog posts on skeezy networks?

Google should not control your sanity. If you want to experiance excitement, instead of the highs and lows of google
Stand atop a chair, secure a hangmans noose somehow to the ceiling. Completely remove all clothing. Place noose around your neck and begin pleasuring yourself. When nearing completion step off the chair for the climax of your life.
I'm sure you will fuck this up so be extra careful and don't use to much rope. Remember you need to factor In Your height. Let's say you have 9 foot cealings and your 5'6 (if you were taller you wouldn't be in this mess). A good length for your rig would be about 2'6" from ceiling to bottom of noose. These are only approximates. Please don't forget to measure the distance from floor to seat of chair.

Checked more.
I'm seeing all sorts of awesome shit in the SERPs.
I mean, not necessarily my sites, but other really interesting shit. This seems like a pretty big change.
I'm feeling pretty good about this one as of right now. And I am feeling even more better about the opportunities.

I see a lot of people screaming right now.. Seems like this update has been another disaster.. We'll hear more today
For me personally, a low %age of sites are gone. Some sites using certain tactics are gone. But a lot of sites are still there and strong.
A lot to learn from emd / penguin updates. A lot of people are going to give up so I think there will be more opportunity.

Yeah, pretty much. I'm doing international sites though so it's always worked well for me, guess I gotta change up my tactics.
I've only been looking for like an hour, but I can already see a lot of this shit in action. This is the first update that has ever made sense to me. The other updates just seemed like they were throwing turds at the wall to see what would happen.
Web Ranking & Indexing
LTS. [project “Other Ranking Components”] We improved our web ranking to determine what pages are relevant for queries containing locations.
#82279. [project “Other Ranking Components”] We changed to fewer results for some queries to show the most relevant results as quickly as possible.
#83709. [project “Other Ranking Components”] This change was a minor bug fix related to the way links are used in ranking.
#82546. [project “Indexing”] We made back-end improvements to video indexing to improve the efficiency of our systems.
#84010. [project “Page Quality”] We refreshed data for the "Panda" high-quality sites algorithm.
#83777. [project “Synonyms”] This change made improvements to rely on fewer "low-confidence" synonyms when the user's original query has good results.
#84586. [project “Other Ranking Components”] This change improved how we rank documents for queries with location terms.
#83901. [project “Synonyms”] This change improved the use of synonyms for search terms to more often return results that are relevant to the user's intention.
Page Quality & Scoring
#82862. [project “Page Quality”] This launch helped you find more high-quality content from trusted sources.
#83135. [project “Query Understanding”] This change updated term-proximity scoring.
Imadex. [project “Freshness”] This change updated handling of stale content and applies a more granular function based on document age.
#83689. [project “Page Quality”] This launch helped you find more high-quality content from trusted sources.
#84394. [project “Page Quality”] This launch helped you find more high-quality content from trusted sources.
#83761. [project “Freshness”] This change helped you find the latest content from a given site when two or more documents from the same domain are relevant for a given
search query.
Sitelinks & Snippets & UI
#83105. [project “Snippets”] We refreshed data used to generate sitelinks.
#83442. [project “Snippets”] This change improved a signal we use to determine how relevant a possible result title actually is for the page.
#83443. [project “Knowledge Graph”] We added a lists and collections component to the Knowledge Graph.
#83012. [project “Knowledge Graph] The Knowledge Graph displays factual information and refinements related to many types of searches. This launch extended the Knowledge Graph to English-speaking locales beyond the U.S.
#83304. [project “Knowledge Graph”] This change updated signals that determine when to show summaries of topics in the right-hand panel.
Knowledge Graph Carousel. [project “Knowledge Graph”] This change expanded the Knowledge Graph carousel feature globally in English.
#82407. [project “Other Search Features”] For pages that we do not crawl because of robots.txt, we are usually unable to generate a snippet for users to preview what's on the page. This change added a replacement snippet that explains that there's no description available because of robots.txt.
#83670. [project “Snippets”] We made improvements to surface fewer generic phrases like "comments on" and "logo" in search result titles.
#84652. [project “Snippets”] We currently generate titles for PDFs (and other non-html docs) when converting the documents to HTML. These auto-generated titles are usually good, but this change made them better by looking at other signals.
#84211. [project “Snippets”] This launch led to better snippet titles.
Image Search
Maru. [project “SafeSearch”] We updated SafeSearch to improve the handling of adult video content in videos mode for queries that are not looking for adult content.
Palace. [project “SafeSearch”] This change decreased the amount of adult content that will show up in Image Search mode when SafeSearch is set to strict.
#82872. [project “SafeSearch”] In "strict" SafeSearch mode we remove results if they are not very relevant. This change previously launched in English, and this change expanded it internationally.
Sea. [project “SafeSearch”] This change helped prevent adult content from appearing when SafeSearch is in "strict" mode.
Cobra. [project “SafeSearch”] We updated SafeSearch algorithms to better detect adult content.
#84460. [project “Snippets”] This change helped to better identify important phrases on a given webpage.

I lot of you guys still have shitty back links that either have no auth. or credibility, or have a shit ton of the same anchors too.
Read the serps, check your competitors, looks at the ones that have what looks like natural type links and adapt.

What did you guys expect though?
Matt did warn that this update would be jarring and jolting.
Google smelled blood with the 1st update, so they kept pushing that way. No mercy at this point. There's no referee that's gonna stop the fight when you tap out. Matt will kill your sitez.

so basically, we should wait until after the updates are done and then start spamming again?!
