What’s Up With Our Google Rankings?

Century Cafe and Bakery was #1 on Google for the phrase Manhattan Bakery for 2 years until recently. A site took over that is a pure spam site. 50% of the site is pay per click Google advertising. The other 50% is stolen content… that’s right, it’s a “scrapper site” or an “MFA – made for adsense” site. The funny thing is that another site pulled ahead of Century Cafe for”Manhattan Bakery” and it has only a single backlink compared to Century’s 150 backlinks and it’s not as old as Century’s site and it only has a few pages. Century’s site has 1,000 images and almost 100 pages.

What’s Going On With The Google Rankings?

I’m going to work hard to get that MFA Made for Adsense Scrapper site removed from the #1 position on the phrase Manhattan Bakery. MFA sites are just internet spam and I like to take out the trash.

I’m also going to ask every SEO friend I’ve got to look at this site and try to figure out why a 5 page site with 1 inbound link moved ahead of a 100 page site with 1000 images and 150 links.

Century Cafe and Bakery was moved up to a #1 position on Google Local Maps for the phrase Chinese Bakery:

Lemon Chiffon Punk Spike Cake

The Lemon Chiffon Punk Spikes are the only edible punk spikes I’ve ever seen in “the Village” and I used to practically live in Washington Square… That’s very NYC dude (I know – thanks). Besides being able to tell you where every street accessible couch in New York University was in the 1980′s, I’ve seen a lot of punk spiked hair. This cake brings me back to the days of punk but in cake form. Wow. This is the only post that goes beyond Ace of Cakes on this website. This cake is as good as it gets in the 20$ and under price range. The signature glazed fruit topping is as good to eat as it is to look at. And the lemon chiffon spikes are fun to break off and munch…. on your way to visit the place where CBGB’s used to be.

100,000 Google Impressions in a Month

• Wow !!! Centurycafe.com had over 100,000 Google impressions in a 30 day period recently.
• We are getting 50 to 100 unique visitors a day on the site
• We have almost 150 inbound links from other websites.
• We ranked #1 for the phrase Manhattan Bakery for over 2 years until Google allowed a MADE FOR ADSENSE MFA site to go to #1 to make more money for Google. That MFA site has ZERO unique content… infact it has STOLEN CONTENT. Half of the page is GOOGLE ADS. Wow !! They have 1 inbound link. I have no explanation why our site is not #1 anymore.
• Our site has over 1,000 images that I made with a Nikon D-60 and I color balanced and sliced every image by hand using Photoshop. Wow, the other site has ZERO images for viewers.
• Our site has been up continuously since 2004. Their site is only 2 years old.
• We did 14 GIGA BYTES in bandwidth this month. 14 GB!!! Thats a lot of people looking at a lot of images. It’s all in Google Analytics too. Why Google is letting a trash SPAM MFA site rank #1 for Manhattan Bakery is a mystery… but maybe it’s the example SEO Pundits have been looking for all these years. PROOF THAT GOOGLE FAVORS MFA SITES ON THE NATURAL SIDE.
