Traffic falls drastically once you are out of results of google

but got back in Google resluts

It does seem strange that David was penalised; however, let’s hope things sort themselves out. Will be interesting to see future updates on this issue.

Nice title, btw.

It may not be true that in this instant case Google had penalized site, but with traffic getting down David Airey fears it and has other reasons too…

In absense of any warning who knows what is happening behind scenes…

I got dropped to PR0 from 4 by going for own domain and it impacted traffic too.. let’s see when we see TBPR update…

I also read about google penalizing people that hold competitions that link back to them while I was preparing my contest idea.

I still went ahead with my (current) blog contest because my goal isn’t to get high search engine listings or beat the google algorithm but just get some new people hitting my site, once it’s got a decent number of subscribers and gets organic (non contest) links coming in then google will notice it anyway.

google algorithm prediction ahead, watch out for Heisenberg, it’s uncertain if he’ll be there though.
