Google’s Updates: Fair or Unfair

google should keep the algo secret but not mislead people either

if we knew the algo we would all be fighting for #1 position , and not doing minor seo work as it to low in the algo

Hypothetically
I mean if blog comments were worth 4 points and forum siggies were worth -2 while article posts were worth 12 we know everyone would be doing articles ! and signatures would be left blank !

I also voted unfair I think Google should be more upfront and notify web masters when its latest algo changes will take place.

I think they are fair, we may not like them as webmasters but they all aim to give the user a better experience

It’s a cluster****.
Really – that’s the best way to describe it. There’s no other way to describe it at this stage. It’s a complete and utter mess, and right now everything is inconclusive. I mean you have:
Completely crappy EMD websites still ranking #1 for their primary keyword.
Completely crappy EMD websites affected by this.
Very good EMD websites unaffected.
Very good EMD websites dropping a few numbers in rankings(ie: #1 to #5).
Very good EMD websites dropping completely off the radar.
On top of that you have some EMD websites that have lost ranking for their primary keyword but still killing it in longtails. Then you have the opposite – EMD websites that have lost ALL their longtail traffic, but still ranking for their primary keyword.
