Even Google showed up to clear the air. Please...Please just give me a chance if i ever end up on this huber-gnarly shit list of yours. Glad you straightened it out. Also, i hope at some point you're able to do a follow-up post with some feedback from G. I also know of a few innocent (really, i promise) sites that have been in this jam for an extended period, and google groups haven't really solved the issue. it would be nice to see what was up over there.

I hope the blogosphere continues to support, even if Google wont. ..the ironic thing is that your site is pulling in serious interest in this, and as a result maybe you’ll be able to leave them in the dust.

Sometimes we get answers, sometimes we get a right slap in the good old face - but the quicker we move on, the more cherry pie we get. In the end. Good luck.. It’s a strange but wonderful world.

Otherwise, you'd have to suffer artificially supressed search rankings for your unique content, without any opportunity to address it. I can't help but accept that 2-5% of all web pages indexed by Google suffer similarly, and that's just a number grabbed out of thin air. It could be worse, if that was necessary to enable TheAlgorithm to perform at any given time. And it's not just "false positives" to consider, but false negatives as well. How else could Google operate? So maybe the key is knowing your site? And knowing Matt Cutts, for those times when it seems Google wants to collect its taxes? Old skool is new school.

Was ranking for some pretty good terms and swoosh, on one monday they were gone... oddly enough, the next day I started ranking on Yahoo for those terms I before only ranked well on Google.

However, I would advise of the notion of "linking to bad neighbourhoods", because a look at the comments just on this post suggests you may be being targeted by a few comment spammers linking to low value sites. 2c.

Did you read my previous posts? It is good to see others don't read stuff also. Observation: Notice how "rand" only appears in popular places? That is great marketing! Hi rand, love you! :) Funny link by Eric, haven't been following this soap opera, don't really care why people do or do not like him, my hunch is jealousy... yes? He ranks for everything, that I did look at! ;) Again sorry to Rae for not observing Google's old broken algortihm thing, I was actually trying to help figure it out for you but got lost in the drama. ;-( Let's see if you can now rank "Link Development".
