Anyone else feel this major google update?.. Some of my sites got better ranking, and some just disappeared from google. I don't know if its a penalty for duplicate content or what. I wish we could contact google to find out whats up.

i had a few of my sites lose page rank and get totally removed from the index.. though they were re-inserted a few days later but now are not coming up accordingly, some are as high as pr5/6 but are not showing up for those same search terms they did just a few days ago.. strange, never seen this before

Google updates everyday.

I think this was a bigger update though. They removed a lot of sites, and changed a lot of the ranks.

Hopefully its temporary.

"Google updates everyday."

No this was a major change for some.

Man, I got killed on the last update!
I went from page 1 to page 10 on many of my keywords.
I hope this is temp.

it's something like Google Florida happening to most affiliate websites. DO you notice any non affiliate websites being hurt ? Mine are fine so far.

Both my non-affiliate and affiliate sites are doing fine.

Could this be having an effect?

Someone is duplicating tons of sites and content.
