Alright, a couple of questions for all of you that are getting hit by the Jagger update:
1 - Did you buy links to your site/were they relevant?
2 - What kind of site replaced yours in the serps?
There seems to be complaints about what sites are now getting rankings. I've seen postings where people complained that authority sites were dominating the serps, but I've also seen posts about small sites dominating. So what has happened to your specific markets?
Lets put some information together here folks and figure out what the update involved.
I'm suspecting it has to do the link relevancy.
I'm starting to wonder if G is now identifying sites that sell link space on them and penalize the sites that get that link space.
I'm also speculating that G is taking their spam reports too seroiusly. Alot of sites that were making money through adsense seem to be penalized, so I wonder if G took all the spam reports they had over the past 12 months and finally did something about it. And if that's true, I bet they didn't verify the accuracy of most of the reports.
For my sites in particular, none of them were penalized except for 1. My pharma domain actually got a big boost. The other domains I manage (about 200) seemed to remain in their current positions. My blog site is the only one that took at hit (dropped from PR5 to 2, lost alot of traffic), which is fine to me since I barely update it anyways (last time I posted was like a month ago lol). But I only do white hat stuff (mostly content manipulation).
