| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/20/11 2:07 AM | Hi littletraveller, does it need an algorithm update to let a site tank in the index? No! >>> HELP?? How, no URL at hand ... -luzie- |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/20/11 2:16 AM | Hi Luzie the website is http://www.littletravellers.com I could understand some sinking but in keywords where we were on page 1, now nowhere to be seen... all i need is to understand what we have done to make sure we dont do it again as i believe we have n |

| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/20/11 2:28 AM | I'd say your site looks like what we call a "thin affiliate"? http://www.google.com/search?q=thin+affiliate -luzie- |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/20/11 2:58 AM | Luzie a "thin affiliate"?

| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/20/11 3:21 AM | Luzie I have had a look at your website http://www.newdy.org and cannot say it is exactly a top quality website with a lot of content? Maybe you can correct me but arent you making money from affiliate or paid advertising without actually having any origina |

| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/20/11 5:01 AM | Have you seen Adsense or affiliate code on my site? You didn't bother to look, right? It's a free directory without any ads, I don't make a single cent with it. -luzie- |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/20/11 5:25 AM | Sorry are you trying to tell me that you get nothing from this for example autovermietung malaga - URL: http://www*rentspain*com/ - Kat: Laender-Reisen Im assuming you have a link on your index page only because you like the domain name or name of th |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/20/11 6:12 AM | That's the link to the last site that submitted it's URL to my directory, what do I have to do with them? ... I mean, are you new to the internet or what? -luzie- |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/20/11 6:39 AM | and is that including the banner?

| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/20/11 6:47 AM | I'm not in the business of creating websites, I already said that. |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/20/11 7:45 AM | Luzie Anyway after this lengthy discussion im no close to actually work out why this has happened and what to do to change it and prevent it in the future. It seesm to me that now days you do not have a chance against giants like tripadvisor or expe |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | JohnMu | 1/20/11 3:11 PM | Hi Alex and welcome to the forum! Overall, I'd certainly tend to listen to Luzie, he has a good eye for the bigger picture and quite a lot of experience. Looking through your site, I would agree that it's not a typical thin-affiliate site; you have |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/21/11 2:42 AM | Hi John Much appreciate your reply. I would listen to Luzie however he has not offered any other explanation apart we are a thin affliate site which i strongly disagree with. Yes i agree some things might not work exactly and some thing might be miss |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/21/11 4:59 AM | I've always said that it's far too dangerous for a business to wholly depend on organic search traffic as long as it doesn't have something very special and unique to offer, and even if I had to admit that your content may be better than I first thou |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/21/11 5:43 AM | Well what can i say it is a matter of opinion what might or might not be good content but my website definitely has more original content than yours. As mentioned i can have a directory like your up and running in a day for free but to have the visio |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/21/11 5:55 AM | Make that an affiliate site skipping "thin", that's still enough of an explanation. Look at your competition: for a typical search query like http://www.google.com/search?q=%22New+York+City+hotels%22 you'd find one-and-a-half million results on the S |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/21/11 5:57 AM | One thing i would like to add Does anyone else know any other global company which would have i believe 80% monopoly on the market? If there would be there will be serious questions asked! Like 2 large airline companies cannot join forces as this wou |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | luzie | 1/21/11 5:57 AM | That doesn't help you the least. I'm far from even thinking to try to live of that, my job is a completely different one. My site is not in discussion here, it's nothing but a former hobby of mine, and I set it up to toy around with PERL and MySQL. |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | littletraveller | 1/21/11 6:10 AM | Luzie I would never dream of aiming for that kind of keyword! Im aiming for more realistic like New York City family hotels which has a lot less results and have some chance but still aiming for new york in any kind of key word is impossible task. I |
| Re: Has there been an algorithm undate on the 17th of January??? | JohnMu | 1/21/11 6:10 AM | Hi Alex In a case like this, it's not a matter of tweaking a few small things and it's not a matter of Google deciding that this might be a "thin affiliate" site -- it's really more about the bigger picture. You mentioned that you do not have a larg |
