Have they done a good job for the last two months then? I don’t think so. Here is a graph from my Google analytics showing the Google search engine hits my blog has been getting. Now remember, my blog is well over six months old now so it is not a website that should bounce around that much in the search engine rankings.

As you can see, in late January for one day my blog dropped off the map and I was listed no where for any search terms (except “DayJobNuker”). Then, mysteriously back I went to more normal levels as I was listed again. That lasted for a little over a week and then suddenly I was gone for two days. During those two days, DayJobNuker was again nowhere to be found anywhere on Google. Then, just like the previous time, back I came although this time I lost 10-20 spots on several search terms.

What the ____ is Google doing? Are they drunk? I know I haven’t done a thing as I have hardly been posting. How can my site just disappear for days at a time and then suddenly reappear? I ask one question: is this really providing the “most accurate” search engine results to have sites coming and then going like this? Why is my site valid one day for a search term and not the next?

I know this has been happening to a lot of other blogs as well. Here is a link to a Digital Point forum thread that talks about sites being de-indexted and/or losing their SERPS. It seems this has been going on since December. I am really disappointed with Google as they are so important to anyone who wants to make money on the Internet. I want to be listed on Google, I need to be listed on Google, and anyone who tells you that you don’t need Google is a flat out liar. But it seems that Google is a bit drunk right now and can’t decide what it wants.

UPDATE: Now DayJobNuker is no where to be found in the SERPS again 12 hours after posting this.

1) This one irritates me the most and is actually the catalyst for this post. I see so many new blogs that have a blogroll something like this one:

OK, so, that blogroll belongs to a blog that is less than 2 months old and has linked to John Chow, ProBlogger, Shoemoney, Tyler Cruz, and Zac Johnson. WHY do you do that???? Why do you give them free advertising????

• Do you think those guys are going to come read your blog just because you linked to theirs?
• Do you think they are then going to link back to yours and write about you and tell all their readers about this great new blog they have found?
• Do you think that those guys are going to thank you for linking to their blogs?
• Do you think they are going to go and ask you to guest blog on their blog?
• Do you think they are going to want to be your friend and ask you to hang out with them?
• Do you think they are going to take a personal interest in you and your blog once they find out that you have done them the honor of linking to them?
• In case you don’t know, the answer to all these questions is that they will never, ever acknowledge you.

2) Why would you put a widget on your blog that tells everyone you hardly get any visitors? Why would you not take this off and wait until you do get some visitors!

3) Why would you put your sad feedburner stats right there for everyone to see. Don’t you understand that it is telling everyone that you have no readers? Here are two examples that immediately tell everyone your blog is new or dead:

4) Why on earth would you display a badge that tells the world that you have an unpopular blog? In the one below, are you proud that you are #261 out of about 280? Is that something to brag about? Lets all chant now: Yay, I’m #261, I’m #261, I’m #261.

5) Most bloggers have absolutely nothing original to say. So, they rely on other blogs and report what they see. Do you think I am going to read your blog when all you do is parrot what others are saying or doing? When you write something like is shown below I know you have absolutely nothing to say and I won’t return!

6) And finally, why would you tell the world about how little you have made online? In the case below, do you actually think I will read your blog after finding out that you have made a whole $269 in 21 weeks?
