Default Google Spaghetti Update

I have a new term for what G has been doing for the last few months. You know how you can test spaghetti to see if it is done by throwing it against a wall to see if it sticks? Well, G has been throwing random sites on page one, presumably to see if they stick. Hence the name - the Spaghetti Update.

Good analogy Sam, that is what I'm seeing!

I've got a noodle sticking at position 4 for a few hours then falling back onto the floor to #14. But the other noodle seems to be sticking at #2. Fun stuff!

I've been calling it a "google hairball".


When the site drops back down to where it should be, I say "google coughed up the hairball".

That is funny. That is a great comparison. Though I do have a craving for spaghetti now.

Yeah, they have been doing this for quite some time now. You know what that means... if you see one of your pages in the top rankings, get everyone you know to visit it so it will 'stick'!

Haha. Nice one, Sam. Though, I don't recommend throwing Spaghetti against the wall unless you have a plate on the floor underneath.

Default Re: Google Spaghetti Update

I made some changes in my main page and forgot to place the Sitemap back up.
Now google won't regonise my site unless I put a code in the Source Code
near the top.
My web site provider wonn't insert the code that Google wants .

What to do?

David
