What’s Up With Our Google Rankings?
July 29, 2010
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.

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:
