This is a sad moment for me. While thinking about this reply, I just remembered that I dreamt about Yahoo last night. Something about me going around telling everyone about this new site www_autosomething_co_za, which turned out to be Yahoo's local version in South Africa. WHAT THE???? I don't even like Yahoo!!!! Anyhoo...
I have one site,
www.jobs-at-large.co.za that's done fairly poorly on Google, not just since Jagger but always. #3 & #5 on MSN and #8 & #1 on Yahoo for my main 2 key phrases... Nowhere on G. The site had site-wide links to
www.pspsoftware.co.za, which used to be a web design site.
After reading about site-wide links on here (I think one of Ken's posts), I removed all those links last Friday.
It's far too early to jump to conclusions, but in the past week I've had 3 days where google.co.za has sent more referals than msn.co.za, which had not happened once since I started the site in Feb.
Would love to see how your theory of linking to a relevant page turns out Ken.
