Google Algo Update yesterday

BoDarville · 04-12-2011, 09:17 PM

The "High Quality Sites" algorithm rolled out to everyone yesterday - everyone in English anyhow - according to yesterdays blog - Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: High-quality sites algorithm goes global, incorporates user feedback

might be important to some from an SEO standpoint. I saw 1 site drop to the 3 page (.com) but interestingly another site (same name .org) which was on page 3 climbed to page 1 and in a higher spot even (vs. 308million pages). I'm unsure what this means at this point.

I saw the same things as you. I had one site fall slightly and one site climb a few pages. Interesting to say the least.

It always is when Google does this. One of my keywords dropped a few pages and others rose...go figure.

Same thing, different day. Follow google guidelines:

Its always like this. No one can make a 100% accurate algorithm to know all spam and useless sites. And we should not expect it at least in this decade.

Looks like many keywords stuffed pages are doing better than before

Have they increased inmportance of on-page SEO?
