Anyone seen any dramatic changes in SERPs 18th Feb?
-
Hi Guys,
Wondering if there has been an algorithm update or new Panda released today? Not seen any news in Google yet however noticed fair shuffle of all results in my niche, particularly in the top 3.
The main take I've had from the brief research is that the brands in the niche have popped up a few spots and blogs / affiliate sites etc have dropped.
Results noticed using Google.co.uk

After looking into it a bit more, at first I thought it was another panda release as others of late had been on the 18th of the month. From using a few G search operators I've stumbled across a few popular forums where people have been spotting drops of 10-40% since 14th Feb. My opinion would be that the latest algo release that featured an update that integrated Panda into standard crawls could be finding these low quality sites and chewing them up as it browses the net. If my guess is right bad news for some, great for others! Let me know your thoughts?

I've seen some big changes. Much the same as you, brands have moved up across the board.

no change that I can tell yet

Over the last few days i did notice some of my new pages up a full page in a day (from position 25 to 11)

How do you evaluate algorithm changes?
First a request: Please answer this only if you own/manage more than 5 to 10 sites. Also, please understand I am trying to go beyond speculation. With the current "pigeon" update (as coined by SEL), we are seeing a lot of changes, good and not good. An example is within the real estate vertical. There is literally no "pack" whatsoever. Page one for every major real estate search in Houston: houston real estate, homes for sale, townhomes for sale, etc. is now populated by a major RE vertical player. All of these companies use the real estate rules, hire a broker, then scrape RE data from other MLS brokers. So, there is not a single Houston real estate company showing on Page one for any of these searches. Zillow, Trulia, HAR, etc. dominate the entire organic page. Within other verticals it is a mixed bag of results. A home service provider shows up with their outlying offices for searches on that service and Houston. Etc. Just curious how those of you who handle multiple sites analytically approach learning what is going on. I know what we do, but am very interested in others methodologies.

Best EDIT for Clarification: I am speaking to how do you evaluate the changes (the effects of) over a fixed period in order to draw a conclusion as to what has changed, how that affects your clients, and what you will do now given the change and the knowledge you have gained.3 -
Anyone know of any forums for agencies or those individuals engaged in Internet Marketing, SEO, Integrated Marketing, etc.?
Moz.com is the best forum I have been a part of. There is a local forum I really like but spend less time on (we have staff who live on it.) I am interested in a forum where everyone is agency related. Does anyone know of a good one? If not, would anyone have an interest?

Very odd behavior. Google is changing “%20” to “+” in my URLS
I just realized many of the links on my site are BROKEN when entered from a Google SERP. This didn’t used to be this way. I have no idea what’s going but I’m worried. It involves a folder of our site that has a space in it. Google is even displaying the proper “%20” in the SERP but when I click the link it replaces that “%20” with a + which breaks the link!! You can see this in action by typing in “brown jordan sheffield furniture” without quotes into Google. You’ll see our site come up first and displaying this link sheffieldfurniture.com/Other%20Furniture/BrownJordan.html but when you click it the link is broken! This is happening on many of our pages! Anyone know what in the world is going on?

Just want to know if others have seen simliar results with Squidoo's organic visits
I have some old squidoo pages and yes they haven't been tended to as well as my other content that is outperforming it, and yes that could be why. So rather than asking why it is underperforming, I just want to know if anyone else has heard that Squidoo was in line for a spanking, or if anyone else has seen similar organic reductions. That way I know if it's me getting the spanking, or if it's squidoo. Thanks a mil. Tyler

Anyone used an SEO company they are happy with and would recommend to others?
I have been researching SEO companies. Some are not willing to provide references, while others have references with lukewarm recommendations. Any e-commerce owners/managers here that have used an SEO company that they would recommend? I am about to give up and stick to doing it in-house!
