<br />
Anyone feeling the pain from Google's Feb-2010 "panda/farmer" update?<br />
<br />
HomeTheaterReview.com has taken somewhat of a hit because the new data that Google is collecting on the site shows NEW people STEALING our content, creating 100,000's of pages linking back to us (that many is actually bad) etc...<br />
<br />
We've done a massive project to get rid of the junk. We also redid all of our category pages, redid nearly all of our brand, dealer, product review and educational pages to make them better pages.<br />
<br />
Is your site down because of Google? Major news sources say that 40% of all websites are.<br />
<br />
There is also seasonality to deal with but Google is helping that with a BRUTAL change to their system. I think it will settle itself out a more in the coming months when they get more fresh data in and reindex the better sites out there. ]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:17:51 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Increase Alexa Rank]]></title><link>http://www.hometheaterspot.com/showtopic.php?tid/145808</link><guid isPermaLink='false'>http://www.hometheaterspot.com/showtopic.php?tid/145808</guid><description><![CDATA[ There's actually a service at alexage dot com that improves Alexa ranking for websites and blogs.My blog's alexa rank went from beyond 200K to 65K in a couple of months, so Alexage worked pretty well for me.<br />
