Many of us Webmaster Help Group guides have happily gotten to meet
Group members at various functions around the world. Over sandwiches
in San Jose. Salads in Stockholm. Sweets in Sydney. And it's been
super!
But some of you are hard to find and so we haven't had the pleasure of
chatting with you. Therefore, we've decided to visit you right through
your beloved monitor screen.
On Friday, March 28 at 9am PDT / noon EDT / 16:00 GMT, we'll be having
our first-ever all-group live chat, where you'll have a chance to hear
and see us answer some of your most pressing questions. All that's
required is a phone (we'll pay for the call), a sufficiently-modern
web browser, and an internet connection.
We'll be posting a "sticky note" with more details in the Random
Chitchat section of the Group a day or two before this online meetup,
and we're looking forward to chatting with you soon!
Talkatively yours,
Adam and the English Webmaster Help Guides

1. Scraper sites copying the words around your search phrase, and
your top SERP plummeting to 10+ for strong site, or degrading to 500+
for weaker sites. When I change the content of my clients sites to
make the text unique again, the sites SERP's get back to normal. Why
is Google not fixing this, what steps is Google taking to get this
fixed? Does Google acknowledge this as a problem?
2. When a page is cached, but the words on that cache in quotes are
not able to be found in Google "first words searchphrase" - this has
happened for both home pages and inner pages (not necessarily a whole
website), and for me, has followed scraper sites copying content. Can
a reinclusion request get such pages back? How long should reinclusion
requests take? Why can't we have some response about reinclusion
requests - acknowledging that they have been actioned with a statement
as to what has been done. Would be great to have a queuing system that
gives an expected time of when it will be actioned - based on how many
are being actioned per day, and how many in the queue it should be
possible.
I almost bolted on the discussion on WMW as soon as I saw someone
mention unique descriptions, but I hung on...only to find this, "I
have about 10 sold links currently on the site and I wonder if that
could more likely be the cause"
DING DING DING. We have a winner. This group is full of formerly
well ranked sites tanking for selling and buying links.
A prime example of why WMW is worthless for diagnosing specific site
problems nobody actually ever looks at the site other than the poster
who of course believes that the site is totally white hat authority.
Try asking the same question here and the first response will by:
URL? Link funny business will be dug up in no time.
Reinclussion requests don't take 6 weeks by the way, if you haven't
improved in six weeks, try again because it got denied.
