It doesn't surprise me, considering every single blog would have lost all its link juice in the transfer from today.com. I'm sorry for the people who were still plugging away there, but for those who had content tied up there, it's probably good news!

There is a lot more to it than that! You need to make sure you are looking at the keyword data to find terms that are getting a lot of searches.

They moved it to blogdog.com and now I can no longer write posts for it. I can log in but that is it. Boy do I feel duped. From now on I will not join any community blogging sites and just stick to my own. That was the first time I had ever joined a shared commission blogging platform and I must say, my last time.

I got a couple of weird blog comments but nothing else, pretty clear they were utterly losing their grip on reality by that stage. The thing is, though, the people behind today.com were bad pennies for years. I fully expect to see them back again. I have just submitted to Google a sitemap.xml that contains the notnews.today.com versions of every URL on my site. So that they'll all be marked dead in Google. DEAD DEAD DEAD. :-D I reused all of mine straight away – they messed with the XML export, but being incompetent didn’t do so well enough to stop me importing the lot.
