Hi Guys,
Google has done it again with the latest update and my money making sites have all tanked. I was using blog networks exclusively for my adsense money making sites.

I sincerely would love to ask what i can do to restore my rankings again? I have adding some social buzz techniques to my sites but not sure if this is enough. Any advice will help . Thanks.

Here is the update...

Search quality highlights: 40 changes for February - Inside Search

    Seems like Blog Networks are getting hit pretty hard.

      In addition to blog networks what else is going to be affected? I think this update will be giving more tough time to some other types of sites also.

      Only the public rental ones with spun content etc. I have seen no deindexing of my network sites and no drops in results.

        Agreed. Any private ones I used for certain sites are completely fine. Every single one I used BMR for, however, has completely tanked (even though I diversified my efforts across a multitude of other link sources).

        Should've known that everything would go downhill when networks like this decided to offer themselves to the masses, but I guess I overlooked it in the beginning.

          What a crazy update from Google.

          This link profiling change has some serious consequenses. I don't mean to sound dramatic but I have met some very aggressive SEO experts over the years who are quite clued up and will do anything to climb the rankings.

          I think this could be the beginning of an SEO arms race courtesy of tools like xrumer, scrapebox and many others being used to deliberately wreck your competitors rankings.

          I feel like a sitting duck - my competitor is the type who wants my #1 positions at any costs and wouldn't put it past him. Good luck to you all...

    Wouldn't be hard for google to sign up many accounts with BMR etc., find out where the link comes from, and ban it.

    After some serious dancing, I just checked my rankings. One site dropped from 100 to 500, now up to 16.

    This is an SEO Recipe site (to the T) that is only getting 3 anchor text links. Only two blog posts, haven't been updated in months.

    My sites are fine, they're more idle than I'd like but at least they didn't plummet like so many others have said.

    I use blog networks (along with many other backlinking sources) and all my sites are just fine (in fact, they've all improved slightly).

    Don't forget that most of Panda 3.3 was rolled out at the beginning of Feb.

    I've seen a nice jump with some of my sites rankings this last couple of days. A few top spots so I'm very pleased with what ever has taken place.

    What do you all gather from this?:

    Link evaluation. We often use characteristics of links to help us figure out the topic of a linked page. We have changed the way in which we evaluate links; in particular, we are turning off a method of link analysis that we used for several years. We often rearchitect or turn off parts of our scoring in order to keep our system maintainable, clean and understandable.

    None of my websites have ever been affected by any Panda update to be honest.

    Ofcourse I make sure I have usefull, unique and relevant content. Though I have experimented a lot with backlinks, also very bad ones.

    The only site that failed was an auto-generated Amazon affiliate website with 1000's of spun pages.

    Spam will always be spam. Appearing organic is the challenge. That's just good SEO. I have seen a positive effect on my sites.
