If you’ve been watching your Google rankings any at all lately, you may have noticed your website going up and down in the SERPS like a Yo-Yo. Don’t be alarmed. Most everyone’s sites were affected by the latest SERPS earthqake.

No one is real sure what the deal was/is with Google. Some speculation was that it was a PR update, some said that Google is changing its algorythm while some others said they were changing their inbound link filters as it apply’s to your inbound links.

Google and BANS. Once we thought this was a match made in Heaven. Nowadays, if you’re a BANS owner, you probably think you’ve been in affiliate marketing Hell. First there was the Ebay Partner Network canning hundreds of eBay affiliates, many who had Build A Niche Storesites up, and now Google has been either penalizing or out right deindexing BANS sites from the SERPS.

Yeah, for some of you BANS owners, it’s been a pretty tough last few months.

People ask me all the time to look at their pages and tell them why they aren’t ranked well in Google. Many, many times these pages are brand new and we all know Google isn’t crazy about brand new pages, especially when it has many older optimized pages to pick from. (plus, many times it’s not their page, it’s the lack of backlinks to their site)

So if you’re trying to get a brand new page ranked #1 for a competitive keyword or keyword phrase, good luck, these onpage optimization tips for Google will help you a little, but you’re going to have to have patience for your page to move up Google SERPS…and a lot of backlinks!

With Googles latest rampage against paid links, some are questioning whether or not this is the death blow to the pay-per-post type companies.

Since Google seems to have manually decreased the page rank of several high profile websites, it’s clear they’re trying to send a message to blogs and websites. Use paid links and we’ll slap your site down.

I’m not a pay-per-poster. I’ve thought about it many times, but honestly I’ve just never got around to signing up. I do have a few blogs that might do well, but it seems like you have to be on top of the request or miss out. I don’t have that kind of time.

Last week I told you about David Airey and his Google Penalty and what steps he was taking to reverse it.

Now more sites are being hit with Google Penalties, although the penalties this time are not quite as severe as the one handed to David and others.

This morning I was reading Court’s ”Make Money Online“ blog and saw where Google had penalized his blog with a PR penalty for selling links.

Not only was Court’s blog penalized, but in his post he sited other blogs and websites that Google penalized as well.

A few days ago I followed a link from my dashboard over to David Airey’s blog. Seems David was slapped with a Google Rankings Penalty for practicing Black Hat Seo and having paid links to bad neighborhoods…who would have thought that David was a Black Hatter??!! It’s always the ones you least expect!    Next thing you’ll know is that ezinearticles is only accepting kids books!

Seriously though, If you’ve read David’s blog then you know it was unintentional and that David is about the furthest thing away from being a Black Hatter as you can get.
