Have a good one David, one of these days I will get to your neck of the woods for Hogmanay.

Subscribe to comments was switched off whilst my internet access was extremely limited. I will switch it back on again soon.

Just a quick note to wish you all the very best for xmas and new year. I hope you have a great one.

My traffic hasn’t really changed, but I did noticed that some older forum and blog posts seem to be showing up better. Not sure if its a coincidence or not.

It’s funny the way Big G work. A couple of days ago they launch, without much public acclaim, the changes to the Webmaster Tools section so that you can see things like duplicate meta tags but, within 48 hours, they remove a far more visible method of seeing how your site ranks within their index.

I really can’t see that the internal forces at G are talking to each other because they seem to give with one hand and take away with the other.

Anytime such a thing happens, we are looking at the system in two ways..

One: The organization is growing so fast that the departments are not talking to each other. [This is when the Quality dept. has a field day, talking ISO and the like.]And on an aside, you know you have arrived.. :)

Second: Follow the paper trail. Why have they removed something most junta have been addicted to, for free? Yes, money may be involved in the near future. More a case of want to know where you stand? Then you better pay for it.

Makes a lot of business sense doesn’t it? And we all know G does business in the low cost, high volume market.. ! [Explain Adsense to me..]

I was quite shocked to see a drop in my /* from 1400+ to 644 results, and for the effect on Michael and Aaron.

Even SEOmoz was a significant drop.

Maybe they will have something fixed before they are scheduled to break something again.
