Google Problems

August 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments

So, I’ve found out what seems to be happening at the other site.

Using the link: command, up until last week you’d find that there were 10-11 thousand links to the site.

Now there only seem to be 2,000 or so.

So I know why things are not turning up as front page google results, as they used to.

But what I now need to find out is why is this happening?

Where did all those links go to?

    Two possibilities:

    1. Google rejigged some algo that by chance hit your inbound links very hard.

    2. Google decided many of those inbound links were invalid and manually reduced them.
