Question
Google is currently doing a "dance", "algo update" or whatever. A lot of sites are dropping out of the search results (SERPS). One friend has dropped out for all her keywords. My advice to her was don't make any changes just try to "ride" it out. These things take time to get finished. I wish everyone good luck and maybe some of the newer sites will come out of the "sandbox"

Answer
Thanks for the update, Mike.
Hopefully, they'll be doing a Google LOCAL update, too. I've been waiting since Aug 29 to have our business listed.
Cheers
Answer

Answer
yup it looks like things are moving and shaking
I'm right in the middle of some major updates drat.
oh well it was my fault for not doing it sooner.
Answer
This update has been named "Jagger". It appears it is going to continue for 2 more weeks. Oh! Pagerank is being updated I'm seeing PR on all my new blogs. Just remember that pagerank is just a "feel good" thing and has no direct bearing on SERPS (search engine result pages). If you are updating or making changes to your website I suggest you continue and just ignore Googles updating. If you have a fairly new site you should be showing page rank now. So far I see nothing concrete that caused some sites to drop out of the SERPS. Good luck to everyone!

Hey imosh! Don't feel bad... We're gettin' clobbered, too!
So far, sales have remained pretty steady, but...
Anyone know if this "Jagger" update has been completed? I mean, is what we got, what we got?

Don't punt quite yet!
I would hold off doing any major site changes and/or lamenting (I do sympathize, believe me!) for another 2-3 weeks. There's several stages of this update, and I believe we've only seen the first.
So let's all dance nicely together for a while longer... THEN, check our SERP's and get back to work!
On a positive note, I've read that some eBay Store owners are seeing improved results from this update, although I haven't yet.
Cheers
