Some of you may know Google done a major update to it's search in April and a lot of sites fell off the radar due to various reasons.

However a lot of people are now starting to notice search results are showing the same site multiple times, whereas is used to only show a domain once.

Take a look at this search and scan the results: post office insurance address (https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=50&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=post+office+insurance+address&oq=post+office+insurance+address&gs_l=serp.3...129183.129183.0.129393.1.1.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0.qulOdjV2rwY) .... Let me know at what point you see another domain mentioned in the results :rolleyes:

I was on page 4 before I got the result I wanted, which would have been in 3rd place on page 1 before the update!!! :crazy:

Another on: mortgages in rhyl (https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=50&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=mortgages+in+rhyl&oq=mortgages+in+rhyl&gs_l=serp.3...513154.519861.0.520244.24.18.2.4.4.0.154.1936.4j14.18.0...0.0.gs-Bsf_17ZI)

.... and many many more. It seems Google has deindexed so many sites it has none left to give results from :Erm:

I know they've ruined youtube with all the damned adverts. :cwm23:

Their browser is rubbish too. I only use it as a backup to Mozilla.

Too many of these companies desperate to claw back the ridiculous amounts of money they've laid out. :NoNo:

YouTube is a nightmare now. You could be listening to something for a few minutes then all of a sudden out of nowhere you hear an advert which you can't mute or close.:angry::ReadIt:
