Dancing with Jagger


Another major Google Dance is upon us, apparently. According to this article, Talking To Google About Jagger, you can register your complaints to Google, using a special ‘jagger1’ keyword. Nice way to separate the whiners from the playerz.

The article has some interesting tidbits on issues regarding Google search results and webspam and is worth reading (its short, too).

For my company site, recent changes on Google’s SERP (search engine results pages) have been very good. Most of the top twenty listings are for companies that actually manufacture what the keywords are looking for.

GlobalSpec and ThomasNet are the two major exceptions to this, which could help explain why I am seeing better traffic from both (even tho I don’t pay GlobalSpec anything).

And Google has completely dropped one major competitor who had stuffed their home page with hidden keywords and links. They have been dropped before, but only for a month or so. This time they actually removed their ‘stuffing’, so I suspect I will see them back again.
