Google Dance Syndrome Strikes Again

Posted by TimSlavin at December 2, 2003

"There's been a new outbreak of Google Dance Syndrome, causing some web sites last month to lose top positions for some search terms. However, unlike previous outbreaks, a "cure" exists that makes it easy to compare results from "old" to "new" Google. These comparisons have some marketers convinced that recent changes at Google are designed to boost ad sales, a charge Google flatly denies." Good discussion about apparent recent changes to Google's search methods which suddenly have top rated sites appear lower in results pages while garbage results score higher. Includes links to more details. From SearchEngineWatch.com.

Sullivan also has published a detailed four-part series on the topic in ClickZ: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
