Have you noticed anything?
Jeeze. Oh, man have I.

I've been playing around with new search terms ever since the shake up in November and my sites fell from page one into oblivion.

Three term mixes I've been targeting were not even in the top 80 pages (all Google had listed) for weeks and weeks. Then one simpler phrase shot to page one, #1 about two weeks ago. Then on Friday last week, another more complex, but much more useful phrase, finally began to show up on page 15 and another on page 55. The former then moved up to page 14 on Sat and the latter on page 54. Today I was stunned to see the former had skyrocketed to page one, postion #1, and the latter on page four! The simpler one that had been on page one, position #1 was now no where to be found.

I would be elated at the good results for the two more complex terms except that, the great fan of Google that I am, these positions probably won't be there next week either. So all in all, Google is completely unstable IMHO, and they just plain suck.

Nevermind what I feel about the positioning of my phrase results, what about the people making the searches? I mean, I now spend hours making the searches necessary for my own personal needs, when I used to get by in minutes. What a mess.
