“Thats a warning to all of us!”

Yup, but the forums always a good way to get things resolved. After I did a thread about our site getting ripped off (even our logo!) and getting no where with the ISP, I finally got this response...

"Now the logo has been changed I would very much appreciate it if you would remove the "we've been ripped off" posting on your forum"

Google Plus Chaos? 22nd June 2012 5:00 PM
For anyone who is trying to understand the current set up of Google+ and using it for business, then like me your head may be spinning!

With Google Places now becoming Google Local, Talk of Google Business pages and Google Local merging, and issues with links back using the google rel="publisher" tag, I've decided to rename Google+ as Google Chaos

Someone who knows Google+ pretty much inside out is TJ from the UKSBD and here's an interesting thread on G+ trying to work this out.

TJ has also done a cracking post on all the problems with the current Google+ set up and changes:

Why Google have messed up Google+ Local for Business
I thought it was just us that had an issue with our Natwest account, not realising it was a much bigger issue!

BBC News - RBS-NatWest problems continue into third day

For years, had great service with Natwest, then they recently announced we were being "sold" to Santan "bloody" Der (not my favourite bank) as they were handing all Natwest Business customers over to Santander.

Anyone else affected?

Copy and paste scum. We got copied a couple of years ago. Advantage you have, this is a UK Company, where ours was hiding in Asia somewhere.

Personally I'd contact them and give them 7 days to remove the copied content, and reinforce that in writing.

Then if they don't play ball, I'd go with a DMCA take down request from Google.

I'd also hit his ISP with a cease and desist, in this case its 1and1

“What I am trying to ask is, is Google+ affected by Penguin and Panda, in the same way the organic listings(?) are?”

Good question, will confess to not really getting to grips with the new Google Local roll out, but there is a post at the top of my Google Local going on about the new Local scoring system.

“Almost forgot. What I mean by being top of the google+ page, is being in the 'A' position for my chosen keywords.”

I'm with you, just done a search, and no where to be seen for mine, so you're not the novice you thought you were

I'm not convinced with this approach to get us to live inside Google Land, and to search within Google Plus, but no doubt time will tell...

“See? That's what happens when you don't have a sacrificial goat. The Google Gods go hungry and take it out on you.”

Awwwww, I've christened this one Page Rank

“Thanks.

Can you give me the names of the smaller ones you attended or exhibited at please?

Jerry”

Probably not so relevant, as you're down in Surrey, and we have done local events around Warwickshire, Stratford, Leamington etc although we attended Olympia (no stall) a few months ago at the start up show there.

Have a look around your local area, no doubt local networking groups will put on shows, townhalls are a normal favourite for a couple of business events a year.

Dunno if we have any Surrey members who can offer any suggestions?
“I've seen no difference to my website, but I've gone to top on google local. Would this be coincidence, or does the algorithm affect this too?”

Google Local went live this month as a replacement for Places, well, so not sure what you mean by being top?

“How frequently does google release these updates?”

In 2012 at least, it seems to be monthly
