Dose anyone got the effect from the recent Google update on EMD? I have.

My EMD site rank drop from #20 - #30 to #150 - #160 since late Friday - until now it still not recover - So, I think it is the real position after update. Not just only "DANCE"

Something very interesting. On my KW. all page 1 and page 2 on Google all are Big authority sites such as consumerreports, CNET, epinions, choice.com, consumersearch.com, Amazon, or even Yahoo shopping!

My target competitor also gone - I cannot find them on the Ranks.

Does anyone hit this effect? - Is this the BIG Change on the IM world?

    Hi Adie,

    The other threads mostly dedicate for discussion on the theory of EMD and speculation of this updating algorithm but I just would like to know the actual effect that happen to our own sites. Very interesting that I saw consumerreports, CNET, epinions, choice.com, consumersearch.com, Amazon, or even Yahoo shopping on page #1, #2. So, I would like to see anyone face the same problem or not.

    So, I decide to open the new thread to discuss the actual effect since I think it is the difference issue from others.

      I think it is temporary. One of my sites was hit badly but now it is recovering. It had dropped from #1 to page 2 and 3 but is now back on page 1 on 6 and 7. If you have good content, good links in theory your site will no longer get the exact name boost as the keyword.

      Yes, saw drop in the rank for one of my blog from #1 to page 7 but other site is doing good. The second blog dropped 2 pages past week then came back with a higher ranking this week. Will wait and see what happens further?

      The first blog had a lot of affiliate links and was not updated for a long time may that was the cause. The 2nd blog had only one affiliate link but updated regularly.

        More then likely your drops happened because of poor quality links pointed to them more then the fact its an EMD domain mate.

        I would use opensiteexplorer.com and search your links then click Linking Root Domains. You can then see the authority of the top links (if you do not have anything over 40 listed then their is a problem).

        You should either try to remove the bad links and or build new quality Naked Links to start ranking better.

      Just need to know does anyone face the same effect as me on the recent EMD update or not?

      The effect that I face - my site drop about #100 positions and in Google page 1 and 2 remain only the high Authority sites such as consumerreports, CNET, epinions, choice.com, consumersearch.com, Amazon, or even Yahoo shopping - no niche site on page 1, 2 at all.

        Yes of course many sites have dropped about 100 positions !

        The rest of your question i have no answer for i wouldn`t even be worried about the sites left on page 1 and 2 now

        Your site has been tanked by the google update ..What google did not like about your site i dont know, forget about the sites still on page 1 and 2 for your keyword and start to think about if you want to try to get back into the niche or move on and try a new niche

        The sites still on page 1 and 2 you will still be able to beat if you create a site more relevant and with better backlinks than the sites on page 1 and 2

        you did it once before so yes you can do it again but is it worth it ?

        คุณเข้าใจไหม !! lol

          My main 2 keywords for my main site went from

          #3 to #105

          #5 to #399

          This was a few days ago, they have been creeping back up very, very slowly. I still have hope.

          The first pages are now dominated by bootleg Chinese eCommerce sites.

            I'm with you on this, except it wasn't just 2 keywords, it was 20.

            Glad to hear that your sites are creeping back up. I guess its all early days and every ones panicking too much unnecessarily. If we just let the Google dance settle down, I am hoping in a few days things should improve.

      Lots of Major EMD Domain effect by this google panda and penguin update. Google panda and Penguin 0.6% effect the EMD. It's look very small but it's effect is very high. I saw in seomoz article that one domain went down no.3 ranking to not in google.

    I think I should update what I found on my site - based on my observation and some reports of SEO experts.

    I expect my site was hit because the poor backlink quality and most of them (>80%) link to the root EMD Domain, and anchor text not variety enough - high density at EMD keyword.

    I have 100% unique content, so it could not be poor quality content issue.

    One thing I am quite sure that my root domain got penalty because My inner page in archive and category have higher rank than root domain - seem inner pages are still ok.

    So, be sure you have a variety/ quality of backlink and be aware when using SEO service or buy some GIG on FIVERR - need to ensure they understand well on this updating.
