Penalised by penguin?

[Jamiew2510]

Check whether you have been hit by the latest google penguin update. Type in the keywords then -amazon.com. It seems to work for me and people on other forums..

Eg: free gadgets -amazon.com

Interesting but what's it supposed to show?

 

[Jamiew2510]

It shows the results as they were before the update

Oh OK So your site went up in the rankings I take it?

 

[Jamiew2510]

Yeh, but one of my friends was top before the update, and now he's nowhere! Page 6! I think he's gradually crawling back up though!

But how is this working?
I mean I and my site had nothing to do with amazon!

It butchered the homepage on mine, now making the RSS #1. And the RSS gives you an error.

What is RSS #1

 

[Hubok]

The first search result is my RSS page of ONE of the forums. Which is broken...

 

[xpl0iter]

Why don't you fix it then?
Or atleast use the htaccess to redirect it?

 

[Hubok]

Would screw up my SEO even more. I'm going to make a robots.txt

I don't get it. Could you please be more detailed?
