Google continue to be a source of frustration. Although my 360 degree feedback site gets plenty of attention - for some reason its position in the listings continues to drift. Not that there is any shortage of inbound links - thanks to PayPerPost who have been regularly publishing my press releases and posting about the site.
You might wonder who I should be worried - as I already have a number one or number two posion on google.co.uk - but my listing on google.com continues to be a source of frustration having been as high as eight and down as far as 23. An appearance on page one does make a real difference with my search traffic increasing by about 50% when I was on the first page of google.com.
Sometimes I wonder if the inbound links age - or if Google start to disregard them after a period of time. Because whereas a new installment of links seems to give a jump of two, three or even four places in the listings, after about a week things settle back to their previous position.
Oh well, I suppose if you are as powerful as Google you can make your own rules - which is what htey seem to do.

I don't know much about technically about how all this works. And it is important. Maybe a fresh view on it would help. You can't be the only person who experiences these frustrations. When you re establish inbound links and things improve, would it be possible to stagger such a process over time rather than all inbound links being re established at the same time ?
