Basically the title of my thread is the question. I almost danced the dance of joy this morning when I saw my site is back on page one from page 11 for native american jewelry. I hope this is where it levels out. This Jagger thing has been dreadful for our site. Nicci
Well you're one of the lucky ones, I just lost a client because of Jagger. Thank you very much Google! We had top 10 ranking for the most competitive terms, then suddenly wham, it's all gone and this morning client asks me for his October reports... well, not the most detailed explanations of algorythms and cosmic influences could convince them otherwise.
I felt like an ass who doesn't know what he's talking about while all our other SEO sites continue to do exceptionally well!
I'm just real miserable about this now.
Glad to hear it! I'm still waiting for something like that to happen to me :(

I own a small Web/Graphic Design/Marketing company in Southern Indiana. Before this Jagger effect took place, our company site (www.harmonydesign.biz) listed in the top spot for our business name, Harmony Design. Now you can't find mention of our site until page five, which in reality is an advertisment we did through worldpages.com. I didn't bother to go any further. Talking about disturbing.
I would really like to get a grasp of what is going on here. This is also affecting our SEO and internet marketing for some of our clients. I hope this growing pain for Google has a logical and beneficial outcome.

The position may be off up to +5 or -5 considering it couldnt be viewed on google at 10 results a page.
The only link to you that I would wonder about is http://www.backstir.com
To the human eye it's duplicate content. To google I wouldnt think that only being duplicate images and very little text would matter. It couldnt hurt to set it up a little different than you main site.
I went through all of your inbound links to your main site and found absolutly nothing harmful to your rankings. I also live in southern indiana and about 1 hour from you. You have some great clients setup for yourself. Congrats!
Maybe you or someone else has a different take on this, but i dont see Harmony Design in either one of these nor is it in the top of you page using on-page text.

As far as your ranking. I just dont see you staying where you are. These are a few things to look at later if you still end up having trouble after Joker3 has come and gone.
On another Post here you asked about HarmonyDesign.com
They did use thier keyphrase in thier metatags.
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Harmony Design is a Palm Desert Area Web design and Web development firm offering graphic design, e-commerce, Internet marketing, and database programming. We deliver effective solutions that add significant value.">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="palm desert, palm springs, la quinta area, web design, graphic design, web development, web site design, website design, ecommerce, e-commerce, california, Harmony Design">
Your keyword density for the word Harmony is low and the word design looks perfect.
(harmony)Yours 2.28%
(harmony)Thiers 4.12%
Between 5 and 7 is good. 5% is ideal
With the exception of title and metatags.
We should get together somtime and go over a few things. You might enlighten me on a few things as well. Theres some things I wont go into in a public forum.
Good luck in all you do,

How do you check your position with that datacenter? Is there a link to follow to that point?
I'm not out of the woods yet. My other keywords are still crap. I am so freaked to think this could continue to happen and maybe not repair itself, but I've resigned myself to being patient until the dust settles and then doing whatever the experts here advise. Good luck to you, too!

You couldn't have said it better!"I felt like an ass who doesn't know what he's talking about while all our other SEO sites continue to do exceptionally well!"
How do you face them then? You have poured your heart, soul and own time out without charge, and then you get slam=dunked without provocation!
Just plain nasty!
In all the past updates it was easier to call the problems - Not this time...
I changed "camps", with this one!

I invented one Susan. You can use it if you like.
I manipulated a site call prsearch.net and just added the data center in the form for submission. It searches within the first 1000 results and may be off a bit from the result it shows. Maybe +/- 5. Thier script searches for sites by the 100's rather than 10 per page, so that is why it is a bit off.

Once you see the results you will have to go back to the form to try another. If you continue on prsearch then you will be using google.com only.
I have a php script to make my own, but I didnt really have time to mess with it.
Hope that helps
Look at this Datacenter. I'm sure nearly all the sites which were hit by jagger1 ang jagger2 are ranked well again at this datacenter. :-)
The way back ?
