JeffNote to self, go to Paris and forget about my sites. I’ve seen pretty much everything disappear.
Might just reinstate the pre-Florida versio of a site and see how it goes. Couldn’t be any worse I don’t think.
Maybe Google has decided that he priority given to backlinks is now less important. I did a few searches on various terms, gambling and otherwise, and a lot of the top SERPS results had very few inbound links. Just a thought…but it would make sense for Google to de-prioritise this.
Simmo!
Please, somebody point me to a gambling related website which has no affiliate links (Gam.Anonym. excluded)
Heres a few that are now top ranked at Google for the term casinos. It illustrates Google’s migration to land based casinos. In the past all of these spots were occupied by affiliate portals for online casinos:

http://www.casinos-quebec.comHey Everyone,
Looks like Google is still shuffling sites around. For now my sites are all there and CFC has risen back for at least now. Who knows where this is going end up?How many of you who’s sites have dropped use the reviews or content provided by the casino? when i say dropped i don’t mean by 1 or 10 positions but have noticed a considerable drop on a few search terms.
How this got to be in the top 10 for “casinos” :

I think it is advisable to modify reviews provided by the casinos to avoid a potential dupplicate content penalty.
The reviews themselves are nice and after you edit them they do provide usable content. The problem arises when they are used unedited across hundreds or even thousands of websites.
Good observation Cyclone.

This is what i’m seeing quite strongly, most sites using unedited versions of the reviews have taken quite a drop, out of the top 20 in google for one search term there’s only 1 site using unedited reviews and content. Some of the older programs will have 1000’s of affiliates, now if a few hundread of them are using unedited reviews especially the long ones then this could easily trigger a filter especially now they have and still are tweaking things.

You are absolutely bang on there..Google has a very sophisticated dupe filter. Backlinks are still very important…and more so is their quality.
The land based casinos will do well ..their sites could be “aged” , the backlinks various from all over the place..and all relevant, with very few reciprocal link exchanges…which unless done “3 way” are a waste of time imho.
Well it now looks like google will be keeping there spammy results for now, all datacenters are now reflecting the same results, this happended about 30 minutes ago when the fresh dates were updated. So for all us that have lost rankings it looks like we will have to wait till the next update to see if things
improve. :shooter: GOOGLEI take back what i said above, things are on the move again, 10 datacenters have rolled back. I havent a clue what there up to, this update has gone on for far to long.
