Well, the thing about this blog is that it pretty much is my stream of consciousness. I don't have any paying sponsors, so what you get is whats on my mind. When you're 5 weeks off your wedding, and moving house in 3 weeks... that's what the posts end up being about! Normal service will be resumed shorty, do not fear. I've a lovely post about the different Google filters and how they manifest half finished. Thanks Ami. Well, the thing about this blog is that it pretty much is my stream of consciousness.

Lately there have been a few person posts which , don't get me wrong, are fine. But the honest truth is it is for the marketing banter that I visit this site Anyway to my comment, Can't help but notice the comments on link exchange pages. Is this refring to reciprocal links amd if so, do people still use Reciprocal links? The little SEO I know indicates that they may not be as valuable as they once were.

Anyway to my comment, Can’t help but notice the comments on link exchange pages. Is this refring to reciprocal links amd if so, do people still use Reciprocal links? The little SEO I know indicates that they may not be as valuable as they once were.

Before G could not follow my aff links... I stupidly took this off. This may be relevant for the reasons Sean stated. My site also has content... but it has a LOT of aff links too. 2) I had a recip link page, but only 4 links or so, for a couple of days, I just deleted it. 3) I had a couple of posts on my compeitor's with lots of free links out to my competitors on those pages those pages.... the intention was to make it look like a resource, but I think it may have been taken as a recip spam thing... I have now no followed those links.... and may delete next week if I see no change. That said, those posts have been up for some time, although... I use DD-Post Shift to rotate older posts, and both these posts were at the top of the blog page at the time... ********* I think the thin aff site thing may have a lot to do with it... I have just disallowed the jump pages again, but am unsure whether that will make any difference. I have the same issues you do with seemingly irrelevant pages outranking specifically targeted ones on certain queries. My organic G traffic has pretty well gone, just as I was starting to make some sales from it :-( Sooo... wishing us both luck :-) Will look out for your next post… a couple of other changes I had made in the weeks leading up to my site before the penalty:

I am going to do another post updating on what action I've taken and the improvements (if any!!) arising from that.
