Web Blog of Greg Mathews

Since my last post I have monitored my status in google SERPS.

The incomming traffic from google is now back up to 65% of my total incoming traffic for the month, this is not as high as it has been but does show that the site has been reindexed which does make me wonder if there was some kind of ‘Google Glitch’.

I confirmed that the site is back in good standing in the Serps by checking a few of the top searches that have in the past found my site, and hey presto they are back on page 1 of the results.

I have also tried to look into the issues I raised incase this was not a ‘Google Glitch’ and have done the following:

1. Christmas and New year

Well there is not alot I could do to change this apart from get over my hang over
2. Duplicate Content

I have made changes to the design of the site, they are minor changes but to a certain point make it obvious to a ‘real’ user that the two sites are NOT the same.

I have also made changes to my results, I have added AOL to my search engines, but at the same time modified the script so it only searches 4 of the 5 search engines. I am hoping that the fact the results pages will contain different text each time it is generated, because of the randomly selected search engines being used, there is going to be less chance of duplicate content existing.

3. Keyword Generation

I have made a few minor changes here but nothing to take note about.

I will update this blog over the next days/weeks as I monitor how google is dealing with my site.
