Google Sucks!

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the rankings are totally fucked up lately?

It seems to me, that with a pr of 4, if you search for Lanny Barbie on google lannibarbie.com should at least be listed. But what a surprise... it isn't anywhere in the first 10 pages. Then a couple of hours later it's listed at number 8 on the first page.

Then if I search for Lanni Barbie the site is listed in the #8 spot on the 3rd page!

Basically all the listings above her site are friggin' tgp galleries and doorway pages and dvd sellers except for a couple. I can understand penthouse getting a higher listing but this is getting ridiculous.

It's probably a scam to get us to spend cash on ad words just to keep our sites listed above our affiliates tgp galleries!

The bigger TGPs are no different.
You want high placement in the daily gallery listings?

Pay up.

yes, i think they are doing something with their algorithms... page ranks are quite low and search listing results , as you said, are fucked up...

That's fine when you're only tweaking a couple of sites, but for people who have literally hundreds of freesites out there, it's pretty much impossible.

I'm waiting for the day when a good clean engine comes out that can topple Google. Google is surviving on name recognition. More and more people are getting fed up with Google due to inaccurate junk search results and the constant struggle to maintain rankings. People will always need to tweak and maintain their pages, but Google has done a really good job of messing things up. They want people to become frustrated and buy their AdWords or other sources of revenue for them.

Hehe. Well it seems I'm not the only one. I haven't noticed any big changes in PR rankings but search results seem to be, well... shitty for lack of a better word.

Just checked again and lannibarbie.com is now ranked #9 if you search "lanny barbie". And if you search for "lanni barbie" it has dropped to #10 on page 3! This page: http://www.no1pics.com/pornstars/barbie-belle/ is ranked just above it fer chrissakes!

Looks like Google's famous "link relevancy" has totally gone into the crapper. For both of those terms I had lannibarbie.com in the top 3 (usually first place) since 2 months before the site even opened.

Obviously Google is going to start losing business if they keep this shit up. They have the name recognition but people want to actually find what they are looking for when they search for porn. Placing a shitty tgp gallery that has low quality pics scanned from a magazine and links to a shittier looking adult bouncer site with more scanned and stolen content just isn't going to do anyone any good.

Unless, of course, they are the people scanning magazines, stealing content and building doorway pages for selling viagra and cheap "oem" software.
