Google begins enforcement of site reputation abuse policy with portions of sites being delisted Sites like CNN, USA Today, LA Times, and others are seeing their rented subdomains and subfolders drop in rankings after being hit by manual actions. Google lifts some site reputation abuse policy penalties According to Barry Schwartz, Google has begun lifting some of the manual actions and ranking penalties issued to sites that violated the new site reputation abuse policy after those sites took the necessary steps to comply with the policy. Google clarifies site reputation abuse policy not related to linking Danny Sullivan, Google's Search Liaison, has clarified that the recently enforced site reputation abuse policy is not related to linking practices, but rather the content on sites that abuse a site's reputation. The policy targets third-party pages published with little oversight from the host site, aiming to manipulate search rankings without providing value to users.

How to track rankings (the right way) Have you ever seen a page climb to a great ranking position only to plummet the next time you check? Most rank trackers give you a false sense of security.

This is a slight reporting error, but it leads to confusion about how you're truly ranking for targeted keywords.
