| Google's new algorithm is wrong | myphotos | 10/18/12 5:32 AM | Ok The only way I can seem to prove this is in my field wedding photography. If you look at wedding photographers Essex there are two high ranking sites Nigel bowen and a mobilestudio. Now nigel bowen has not changed/updated the home page for over |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | ѕquibble | 10/18/12 11:16 AM | I did the search you suggested and also looked at your site. I see nothing wrong with the search results - they are relevant for the search query. |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | luzie | 10/18/12 11:38 AM | Google has destroyed your business built on Google search results? Quirky logic. |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | myphotos | 10/19/12 2:08 AM | Quirky Logic that's a bit strong I was on the local listings then fell off as Google seems to favour the middle of the county. before changing the name of my business I was in the top three now not and yes I have lost a lot of business and now I a |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | Chris Hunt | 10/19/12 2:40 AM | Because it would be really problematic for many reasons - who decides what is and isn't a business? How do you set a price that's high enough to be meaningful but which doesn't become an undue barrier to entering the marketplace? Why would Google eve |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | luzie | 10/19/12 4:26 AM | Adwords come to mind. Seriously, paid traffic is a much safer, much more calculable matter than organic listings. |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | Ponderosa Dachshunds Kennels | 10/20/12 8:25 AM | Been watching these groups for years and this is the first time I have bothered to reply. Just want to say that I think it's sad that no one showed any sympathy for what you're going through at all. So, I am sorry to hear that you're struggling. I |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | myphotos | 10/21/12 2:35 AM | many thanks for the kind comment. I have dog site http://www.dogphotographs.co.uk if you want to swap lonks it might help. I know Google does not like that before the rest of you start but hey I don't like what Google has done to me. |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | myphotos | 10/21/12 2:42 AM | Ok guys this is my thinking.

| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | Robbo | 10/21/12 4:51 AM | In accord with Ponderosa, you have my sympathies regarding the difficulties that your site is facing. Regarding your proposals for fundamentally reshaping google, I do not agree that they would be an improvement; the separation of free/organic list |
| Re: Google's new algorithm is wrong | JonWade | 10/21/12 5:19 AM | I am in Essex and the results look OK. The mobilestudio one is in 7th place and the bowen one is not first either.

I took down peterjmorgan in the lst couple of weeks because although it was redirected to my new site I though it maybe harming my rankings. I changed most of my maningful inbound links or so I th |
