Theres no issue. There are no personal issues. I'm not complaining about Acorn & certainly no drama or axes to grind with anyone apart from Google lol. I dont give a shit who thinks my departure is relevant or not. This forum gave a lot to me and I made some good friends here which was nice...

After several years I've decided I need one less distraction and general excuse for procrastination. I've spent 10s of thousands of pounds with members here over the years and its mostly been a great forum full of enthusiasm and quality debate. 2012 has been a funny year having gotten to...

Sooo... in the last 7 days we've had a panda update, a new EMD filter and today a penguin update and people believe...still... that SEO isnt dead?? There is evidence all over the shop that SEO is becoming more and more obsolete...

yeah that was it thanks. A lot of research is pre penguin and 2012 when G really started fecking with the number of ads and pushed comparison units and shopping ads above organic listings. Theres a minefield of conflicting stats out there. However a 42% increase in revenues post penguin...

I feel more sorry for those people who just lost a significant portion of their income overnight from lost rankings. Its a hard knock to take.

yeah I read this too and cant believe this got nailed. Its genuinely a quality quality site.

Denial of the events unfolding in the last 2 years is more ridiculous than a contentious thread title designed to spark debate :) Googles evolution and war on SEO in 2011/2012 is something Hilltop, Florida and all the updates since has never come close too. Now add the new Google compare...
