ok i have about 20 FSB sites up and running and have done since January this year. All working fine but as soon as i updated a site (pm me for link) google has tanked and de indexed it. Over on the FSB forums others are posting the same.

Has anyone else upgraded there FSB to the new version and see this happen as i would be very interested to soo if it is just my bad luck or google has finally caught up with FSB now.

thanks

Paul

The site was just thrown up ready to get a few bots taking a look and then it would have been "filled out" as other sites have been.

Ahhh, Mr Politician himself censored you? ;)

haha yeah..........

I am going to start fading away from them over the next few months i think now as if it has happened to 2-3 sites it will eventually happen to them all.

I don't really like the way FSB operate, I reported a security vulnerability which they didn't take very seriously. I'm giving shopperpress a try.

Yeah same here about using shopperpress. It might take longer to create a site but in the long run will be worth it.

Some feedback on shopperpress would be interesting, the demo looks OK, it also looks good to be able to add other than Amazon in the same shop

That's very poor, most similar companies would take a report like that seriously and act quickly.

I have good results with Datafeedr and WP (e.g. see here (http://www.nfh.org.uk/shop)).

Datafeedr is next on my list to checkout, seems to play well with shopperpress.
