I ♥ cryptic crosswords
Anyone noticed their websites sink out of view on Google of late?
Or is it just a 'local blip'?

My thoughts on the 'content-farm' update (sorry about the length)...tl;dr said:Certain software programs used to leverage web 2.0 properties for commercial gain got a little too good at manipulating Googles algorithm. This made them look silly - they don't like looking silly - so they devalued those web 2.0 properties.
Every word of the above is true. After Googles content farm update Answers.com's shitty, spammy, content-farm content is still in the index.Bjorn said:You will then find that answers.com has over 12 MILLION questions that are indexed by Google for which answers.com has absolutely NO answer (i.e. useful content for users) and is duping google into give them traffic--attempting to build their dbase on the backs of google's users who are tricked into clicking on these worthless results. (meanwhile there are better results that are positioned lower on the SERP that already have good content)
Answers.com surrounds the NO ANSWER with Ads, hoping traffic will bring them revenue. It's a racket. Unbelievably, Google still has answers.com at a PR8.
