Small Businesses Can’t Wait for the Government

I do believe that the government will one day put significant sanctions on Google Search. Arrington writes maybe..

For every Netscape there are a bunch of small companies that are killed or adapted when they were competing against Microsoft. In the extreme situation. Do or die. You have to find another way to succeed. It’s not easy. It doesn’t feel good, but for many companies, especially the small ones, that’s the only option. If you’re waiting for the government, you’ll likely be out of money before any action is taken.

Getting a site to rank again after Panda

Many webmasters have struggled with getting a site to rank as well as it previously had after it was impacted by Panda. I’ve been working on a HubPages subdomain with a team of people on a subdomain that saw a recovery when it was moved to a subdomain, a subsequent crash, a subsequent recovery and another crash.

These articles were initially very specific about Rolex watches. Many were combined and updated, several unpublished after the last crash. There was a total of about 50% reduction in pages. While I think the account once received traffic for terms that may be a little reaching. I think it does deserve to rank for how to spot a fake rolex.

The next step is to remove more content accept for the pages that answer the queries the page receives very well. I’ll ask for all pages to be unpublished 404′ed with a time on page of under 1.5 minutes. Then we will give it another few weeks.
