our cell phone client and his 60+ sites. He called us on the 23rd. He'd
already been affected before the article came out.
Next time I speak to him, I'll ask him what he's done to climb back up.
Right now I know he's heavily into Goodle Ad words ...
Cheers,
Erika

It seems Google has changed the way it ranks pages. One client's site
has nwo officially dropped off the listings totally, even if a search is
done for that specific site name, only external sites that link to it
come up in the top 20 listings.
Supposedly it was to stop people that manipulated their page rankings to
rate highly on the scale, but it seems *extremely* harsh to me. This
person did not pay for inclusion into Google, nor are they a member of
Ad Words.
It seems, from what I've read, that if you pay for inclusion and
subscribe to Ad Words then you'll be back in the listings.
I think this is just terrible, and the dangers of having one
'definitive' search on the Internet. On the one hand sure they want to
have relevant results, but on the other it seems they don't mind taking
money for search placements in the regular listings.
At this point I'm at a loss as to what to do with this client, since of
course if you aren't listed by google as an Internet business, your
business is as good as bust.
Anyone have experience with these new changes in Google and how to get
back listed?
