What are you on about? "I keep saying it but no one wants to hear it" - people, including me, have been saying this for years and years. That's nothing new. I see that theory being discussed weekly on different forums..I keep saying it but no one wants to hear it - GOOGLE IS FUCKIN WITH EVERYONE and they always have been.

It's not even a theory. Google literally has a patent and has it in place called the Rank Transition Patent.I see that theory being discussed weekly
Abstract
A system determines a first rank associated with a document and determines a second rank associated with the document, where the second rank is different from the first rank. The system also changes, during a transition period that occurs during a transition from the first rank to the second rank, a transition rank associated with the document based on a rank transition function that varies the transition rank over time without any change in ranking factors associated with the document.
Interesting, I've never seen that.It's not even a theory. Google literally has a patent and has it in place called the Rank Transition Patent.
It calculates your rank, and then varies it randomly over a random period of time, to insert randomness to confuse SEO's. It also includes "temporary negative bounces" and "delayed responses" to further confuse.
Believe nothing, I'm a moron.I'd like to believe that Grindstone is still a top SEO expert, but it's difficult when it's cryptic tweets and not much practical advice.
It's really simple when you look at large data sets.I've heard a lot of people say something along these lines... But what does this actually mean in practice?
Grindtsone is definitely on my list of options.
Can you share a link to the video?You don't need to pay me to do it, I gave the recipe away for free. As of this morning, I've had 20+ confirmed partial or substantial (one guy is up 22k in traffic now...from near zero lol) recoveries shared with me based off the video I made on Feb 22nd.
Edit: I've been hunting for it since you posted and when I couldn't find it I just thought I would ask!
When memes become real lift, the internet is amazing.Did your try PMing grindstone?
Eleven (excellent Spinal Tap reference, sir) but I don't engage in Negative SEO unless someone fucks with me first.@Grind - I'll save the PMs and just post here.
If I wanted to hire you as an internet hitman to take out my competitor who started a war with me on a scale of 1-11 how confident would you be you could decimate them in the SERPs?
*edit: I don't mean an IRL hitman obviously. Thanks CIA and FBI.
What if you adopted me as your internet brother?Eleven (excellent Spinal Tap reference, sir) but I don't engage in Negative SEO unless someone fucks with me first.
Then I treat them and everything they've built like my name is Daenerys and they're Kings Landing.
They use a lot of machine learning so I'd imagine if 'using some particularly common affiliate review theme that loads of people use' correlates in their data with 'low quality sites' then you could be lumping yourself in with a negative signal. I mean I've seen entire communities of people whose sites all seem to look absolutely identical ... you'd be surprised if Google's algorithm didn't find a way to lump all those in together somehow with at least a slight negative on the overall picture?Do y'all think Google is looking at the DOM to see if someone is using a custom theme? Do you think if you use a very common WP theme it could be penalized by the algorithm? Something like duplicate content?
Someone in here speculated something along these lines. But do you think there are tangible SEO benefits from having a fully-custom, unique theme on your site?
Aside from having full control of optimization. I wonder if Google rewards uniqueness on that level.
Yeah, this is what I am thinking. I also see no reason why it wouldn't be looking at your div ids, class names, theme names, plugins, etc, when assessing the page to help understand it.They use a lot of machine learning so I'd imagine if 'using some particularly common affiliate review theme that loads of people use' correlates in their data with 'low quality sites' then you could be lumping yourself in with a negative signal.

For the most lucrative queries with 'best'What types of sites are ranking instead of you now?
makes sense, although at the moment it is not the case.Agree, disagree? Open to thoughts here as I'm still workshopping this theory!”
I thought this was the direction Google was going about a year ago. Decided to spin up a creative and well researched passion site to test it out. Things were going great for the first 7 or so months until this last Feb/March when it was wiped out and the SERPs became objectively worse.Agree, disagree?
