Solution To Ranking Problem

Just wondering what opinion people here have on the above link?

Now that is interesting??????

If it is the case, then great and hopefully they will continue to change the algorithm to ensure people cannot manipulate rankings to that extent.

Gee, that only leaves one option! Have a great website and people will come and SE's will rank it because it deserves it just for great quality content.

I just paid to get more incoming links..some reciprocal, some not...should I get out of the reciporcal links all together?

[OldWelshGuy]

I would expect at least 50% of links to be suitable for reciprocal linking, after all if both sites are related, then it would make sense.

Links that are not reciprocated are things like articles, or source, where a site is 'touching' on a subject, and uses a link to show an example, or say a car showroom/insurance company. The car showroom might want to link to the insurance company, but not the other way round.

rohgan,

What you need to remember is this, even Google Answers stated that they don't know exactly what the makers do, change, tweak and so on. They stated it was their guess only. You are talking about running off and affecting change before anyone even knows exactly what outcome will eventuate. I would not change a single thing that you currently do for a good month or so and see what happens.

These updates seem to create panic. If they took the advice of the experts here, make a great site first and then worry about the search engines, there would honestly be less to worry about. Mate, leave it all alone and let a little time sort it out. Keep on motoring and try not to think hard about all this.

Google Answers is not an official answering place from Google. The people who post there, including the post linked to above, are simply other people like us at this forum who give their own theories.

There are hundreds of theories out there, but nobody except Google knows exactly what they've done, and what they plan to do.

We have numerous posted theories at this forum too. I would suggest that you read up on those, also, if you're interested in all the gory details of what Google might be up to.

Inbound link text density was mentioned by me a while back (I forget if it was here or over at my other house) and was promptly pooh-poohed, by most. Regardless, it may be a part of it, but not nearly all of it. I think it's wise, though, to keep your eye on all the keyword density factors regarding your pages (total page density, anchor density, inbound link density, title density, and formatted text (bold, italic, heading) density, etc). The top end of the density factors definitely got cranked down in November - at least in some of these above mentioned areas.
