Google Algo Update "Top Heavy 2"

[sunnykathuria]

Google has made another algorithm update yesterday namely "Top Heavy 2" as confirmed by Matt Cutts. Has anyone noticed any change in their rankings or traffic?

This algorithm should make penalties to sites that have too much advertising above the fold. Hope Google doesn't forget to give penalties to its own site

I'm starting to wonder - whats the point anymore? - How many updates can we have before it just gets out of hand?

They are making it so no one can advertise anything anymore. What is it they want millions of personal blogs with peoples daily reports of the chores they do - like facebook?

"I went grocery shopping today"
"I am going to do my laundry"

-- site name is not an EMD
-- no active link campaign
-- No use of heavy H1 Tag keywords

Great first page in google for "I am going to my laundry"

= Very good content (don't forget content is king) and white hat sites...

This is really a benefit to USERS! - we can all read about each others chores - and do not forget "ADSENSE" - gotta have that to get that extra push up a couple of rankings for "Laundry"

No changes for me after the Oct 5th update. Waiting for the next one.

Edit: What does Google consider as advertising and what as content? It cannot be that text only is the only content. Are images, tables and slider considered as content?
I am mainly interested in my website www.onlinebackgammonmoney.com is considered a site with many ads above the fold because of the content slider on the homepage.

What Google want with this algorithm? Google have not effected my website.

not noticed any changes that could be down to this - only changes that are down to my own mess ups (putting wrong code into WP :S)

Not yet . This is normal because these updates are fine-tunings for Google.
