Thread: The Google gods Must Be Angry...

I noticed that Google dropped a TON of pages from one of our sites. Even though this site still has top 4 SERP's for all of its primary KW's, the loss of pages also means a loss of secondary KW's.

Upon further inspection, when I did a check on G using site:www.mydomain.com I found a listing for ANOTHER domain name with my title tag. When I checked the cache, it showed our page!

Now it looks like G is penalizing MY SITE instead of this other site. This is not good at all.

I sent an email to Google, but who knows where it will end up.

Will someone please find me a chicken or goat to sacrifice so that I may appease the almighty G and that they correct this issue?

Read this article and weep.

This whole thing is frustrating. I have contacted G, the site designer, the site owner, the web host, and the domain registrar of the offending web site.

I am not a happy camper today.

It seems from reading the article that nothing can be done. I cant believe that Google is not acting on this. I agree with the person that wrote the article, in a year google will be out of business if they dont do something about this.

I was actually depressed after reading that article. This is what scares me away from investing too much time & $ with Internet marketing. An unscrupulous competitor can take it all away and there's so little recourse.

This is not good news AT ALL!

Instead of building top SERP sites that drive web traffic and leads, I guess that I am going to have to start designing cruddy little sites that no one can find. That way no one will mess with them.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

I removed the link to this article as it does not benefit any of us by having it displayed. This could only cause problems for the rest of us. I hope you all agree with this decision.

Could someone PM me the link to the article. Thanks

I didn't read the article... what was in the article that would cause problems for the rest of us?
