so, what was everybody's end results for the EMD updates

i had 6 EMD sites

all got hit pretty hard even the ones with quality unique content. seems to be no difference between the crappy sites and the good ones for me....

also, and more importantly my web design portfolio site www.craiglongmuir.com got busted at the same time - this must be panda rather than the EMD update...

i was ranked on google.com.au;
freelance web designer #1
freelance web designer sydney #1
web designer sydney #4-7

now showing on page 18 i think!!!

i have updated this site recently to remove some over use of keywords in URL's, title, descriptions.

i have also removed sitewide links from my client site with "web designer sydney" text links and replaced with web design by "craig longmuir" just on the homepage

any other tips appreciated :)

Which suggests that your definition of "quality" wasn't that good.

i had prepared a good plan to launch a forum for a specific keyword, but the Google EMD update completely washed out my plan, because I was going to build an EMD URL forum. I have heard from a lot of my friends that their EMD websites got hit by Google EMD update.
Now I am preparing some different plan, but still I am confused because Google can launch any update at any time and it means my website could be hit any time. :(

i agree with Chrishirst, build a website for users and readers not for google, focuse on quality content....
