Want my opinion ?

I have sites that are more than 10 years old !
Hosted on unique Ips
Hosted outside North America
Unique content
Nothing bad on the site (or considered bad) ex: Javascript/flash etc..(even if it's legit)
Not linking to bad sites
No bad "inbound links"
.com names
Shortest possible
Targeted keywords in the domain name
etc..etc..etc..

Some of them were listed on the VERY first page of "G" for YEARS for certain keywords !!!
Bang up the a$$ arghhhhhhh
No where to be found since the new updates.

I gave up on SE's. The hell with them. I focus now on Social medias/Traffic exchanges and things like that.
You know what ? I'm getting listed on "G" again but not from my OWN DOMAINS !
But from my social media profiles and social media blogs and stuff like that (go figure...)
