Article Directory Genocide By Google

My second attempt to get Google's attention:

It seems, for the last 3 quarters, that a repetitive cycle occurs with the indexing and filtering. It begins with the PR update. All the gates are open and traffic is good. Then, about half way through a quarter, Google traffic becomes a trickle.

I do not understand the trickle. Originally, I thought it was because of a title/description problem that became evident to me in late July 2007. The code for Blogger.com Classic, a Google owned product, created duplicate titles and descriptions in my blog at http://www.moxie-drive.com/blog/ . I discovered that I was not the only one with the problem in the Warrior forum. There were about a dozen other members using the classic version and they all had the "disease". No wonder we can't make any money blogging.

So I came up with a fix and shared it freely.

Realizing that this may also be a problem in my article directory at http://www.moxie-drive.com/articles, I discovered a similar problem and took corrective action.

Google is still catching up, slowly, from the changes that I made in late July and early August. I do not know how long it is going to take to reindex my entire site.

In the mean time, some of my pages that were reindexed began to get some heavy traffic.

One very popular Moxie Drive Expressions article titled Using Code To Change Your MySpace Fonts was getting between 50 - 100 visits a day from the beginning of August up to about 3 days ago. This page was also popular for about 1.5 months at the beginning of June 2007.

Up and down, and up and down. It does not seem like Google can make up it's mind what it wants to do.

I do know this. The same thing is happening with the big article directories like Ezine Articles. When the supplemental index indicator was on they had all but about 1,000 articles in supplemental.

Google is going to put the article directories out of business at this rate, and the little guys like me are going to be the first to go.

The article directories are not able to manage the duplicate content that is submitted by authors. Take one article, check to see if it is indexed by Google, of course it is, at another article directory. If not, it will be, by the hundreds. I hope you sense my frustration.

Multiply this by a hundred or a thousand or thousands of articles received by an article directory in a day.

I would like to see Google treat article directories different than MFA, made for Adsense sites.

Google is practicing article directory genocide.
