Welcome to the Q&A Forum

i think it has something to do with the penguin update, which at this point updates every few weeks. Could be that we've been hit by the latest Penguin 'wave', maybe even neg seo'd, i've seen a lot of that recently. Alternatively it could be a localized tweek or just general testing that Google does frequently.

Matthew,

You are not alone and i don't think its limited to .co.uk domains.  for the past 10 days I've observed a lot of fluctuation in rankings and this morning i saw big drops for some important keywords.  I think google is rolling out updates to the algo again.

Here is my issue, my domain is abcdomian.com and I’m trying to rank the site for the keyword “example”. All of my content is under “abcdomain.com/folder/example/” and building content off of “abcdomain.com/example” is not an option. So I’m thinking about moving the content to “abcdomain.com/online-example/” and 301ing the old pages . Of the two paths below, which will have a greater impact on my rankings for the term “example”?

Current: abcdomain.com/folder/example/
Proposed: abcdomain.com/online-example/

Thoughts?
