Hello Everyone:

I found this site the other day, and it seems to have some good info/guidelines google SEO:

OK, nice site. Too bad Google has been going on the blink that last week and a half. Can't wait till it gets back in order.

Don't count on it getting back in order. The filter may be permanent. Its all a guessing game right now.

What is exactly going on with google?

There are numerous theories abounding. Most are way off track. Essentially, what google has done was employ a filtering program to weed out over-optimized websites. Now, their criteria for over-optimzation is what is coming under the gun.

Personally, I don't like the filter. I find myself using altavista or alltheweb to perform my searches.

The irony is that my clients are doing even better now after the filter than before it. However, as a user of google, I wish the would undo it.
