Oi! I used to work for BMM and I’m no monkey! I expect at least a banana with my peanuts and that’s why I left!

What are you referring to? Up until this morning, there was no Google cache (there is one now).

Much as I previously have disliked them, they’ve just got a stupid dev somewhere in the process. A cache: command on the homepage shows you everything you need to know.

It most likely is a balls up Dave, but could just as easily have been an err of judgement (i.e. throwing too many crap keyword links at the site). I think the example you gave is largely down to the site being new though.

SEODAN, depends on the size and phase of the project IMO. It’s good to have focus on the client as much as possible though.

I do like the you comments on size matters: I know that One account manager can not perform effective SEO on more than 4 accounts the variables needed these days to monitor SEO and perform effective direct response online marketing its not physically possible to deliver the best results for the clients. We work with many clients around the UK and our account managers are never bogged down with more than one client.

I think it’s just a balls up you know, same thing has just happened to one of my clients http://www.koshcreative.co.uk, though that is a brand new site. I have been seeing some other strange things in the serps today as well, homepages ranking where sub pages should be ranking and stuff. Google might just be broke.

They can probably weather the storm, but given the current economic climate and the fact that their rankings were such a large source of leads, it could begin to sting if they don’t fix it soon.

I’m surprised it’s lasted over a week so far – when they were banned from Google in 2006 they fixed the spam quite quick and Google relisted them within a few days. Suggests that they might not have indentifyed the problem yet (although it only took me about 10 mins of quick research to come up with the potential candidates!).

It’s interesting, I thought BMM media were untouchable – clearly not. Considering they have been dominating the market in 1st or 2nd position, I’m surprised to see them suddenly disappear. That’s going to be a massive dent in their profits. The owner is worth over 20 million, so I don’t think he’ll be too effected!
