Google's New Algorithm

[DeLeTeD]

From Matt Cutts' blog

My post mentioned that ?we?re evaluating multiple changes that should help drive spam levels even lower, including one change that primarily affects sites that copy others? content and sites with low levels of original content.? That change was approved at our weekly quality launch meeting last Thursday and launched earlier this week.


This was a pretty targeted launch: slightly over 2% of queries change in some way, but less than half a percent of search results change enough that someone might really notice. The net effect is that searchers are more likely to see the sites that wrote the original content rather than a site that scraped or copied the original site?s content.

So autoblog/sites that do not have a lot of original content might see a drop in traffic. Anyone experience the drop yet on any auto blogs?

In this way only a few sites are gonna survive. In Warez almost all copy content and replace the download links. The text messages and all remain same for movies, apps, games and stuff. In short google has fucked us big time.

Google didn't fuck you. People fucked themselves by copy/pasting, post leeching, and not writing their own review and/or description. I think it's a good thing because Google will only give credit to the original authors, and not someone that uses a post leecher.

R-T is right. People who have original content or modified the content to a certain degree after they leech it are experiencing a rise in traffic at least I am too in a few sites. Even my automated sites are increasing as the script modifies the content before saving it making it look unique.
Hard to tell exactly the influence as it could be the work of other SEO too.

Well it's about time tbh. Searching in google for one thing and just finding a blog that has the 1st paragraph of the original article then a link is annoying.

i agree, the original poster should get the credit.

but how it works in google... no idea. don't know how good they are at finding the originals.
