I don't usually post comments I've left on other sites but this is a topic I'm sure many of you can sympathise with:
I don’t really agree with your understanding on the reasons your site dropped in rank. On my website I use a few affiliate links and some Amazon Associate stuff, namely the product cloud which sucks and the automatic link creator widget which is even worse but I’ve never used G advertising. Frankly, I don’t want visitors finding me by my ads because then they won’t stay, they won’t come back, and they won’t use me as a reference [reciprocal links].
If G evaluates advertising the way it evaluates regular content, my understanding is that this is what causes a site that has nothing but ads to appear before a site that has real, unique and useful content. Lots of keywords pull up sites that are basically links to other sites that again, link to other sites and you end up with nothing in the end and a lot of time wasted.
With this change, and again this is just my understanding, is that G is just giving USEFUL CONTENT a priority over useless (in the visitor’s position) advertising. They’re just raking sites based on what will benefit users as opposed to what will benefit the owner. Though, receiving visitors that come to read YOUR CONTENT are the only real visitors you should want. The others are virtually useless.
Every for-profit company is just out to make money. Google is no different. They just have a different business than us. All the other search engines out there are in it for the same reason, they just pick up the technology at different times. Yahoo and AOL and MSN have and will continue to change their practices just like Google does…we will forever fight the battle of the rank. This business of search engines is free advertising for us. If you want your site in a certain position, either follow Google’s protocol or pay for the privilege of being number one.
