IndexWatch 06/2010Johannes Beus
It is July already, which means it is time to publish the IndexWatch-numbers for last month. As always, we use the changes in the SISTRIX Visibilityindex to present last month's winners and losers in the Google-index. Let's start with the winners:Winners
There are no big surprises on this list. As usual, we have a few domains that escaped a penalty and have a halfway decent ranking, once again. travel3.de as well as celeb.ag are two of those. Pornblog.at is also back in the searchengine's results-pages – here it seems that the “porn-filter” got the best of it and took the majority of keywords out of the ranking for a while, which can be seen nicely in this screenshot. Otherwise, we have a surprising number or sites with feeble content: obscure Industry- and Company-directories as well as similar offers. I want to take this opportunity to explicitly state that with the above, I do not mean the domain “cylex-review.com”. The last time I made a similar comment, they went ahead and send me a cease-and-dessist letter. The only reason why supportnet.de is on the list is because they had a noticeable but sudden "sagging" of their Visibilityindex-value at last month's deadline – all in all, the domain is on a steady decline since the beginning of the measurements. Sportschau.de is happily trading places with sport.ard.de in the rankings (duplicate-content be praised) but I believe that I have already touched on this subject before. Verlierer
This month's losers are dominated by domains that fell victim to Google's housecleaning that I already talked about. We can, once again, make out certain parallels concerning the domain's penalties, but it is impossible to make out one definite Reason behind them. We should not assume this to be a one-time occurrence and in the future, we can expect Google to regularly remove those projects from their results that go too far in one way or another.
