Google and the 27th day of the month

The 27th of the month is a day that lives in infamy as far as Google goes. Why is this? I don’t know. It would be better to ask the question: why is the sunset beautiful? Google works in mysterious ways, and one of the mysteries is why they must torment good webmasters on the 27th day of month.

Yesterday, I had one of my “affected sites” come back into Google. It’s back in action, with 78% of the traffic coming in from Google. It’s like nothing happened, it just “popped in”. This is how it always looks.

When you lose a website from Google, there’s nothing you can do except wait. And right there is the most pathetic thing I’ve heard of in my life. To think how much money Google has made on a reputation for being technically superior, you have to be floored at the idea of just how bad and corrupt their index really is. And it’s not like I’m the only one witnessing these fluctuations, they’re well noted by people all over the ‘net.

Google really needs to get their act together if they plan on staying anywhere on the top of the search engine wars. Periodically “busting” websites isn’t the answer.
