Most of our search results pages are back. Over the weekend we noticed the de-indexed pages start to get re-indexed. No changes were made on our end so it really looks like it was a technical issue and not a penalty. Thanks, Rudy Social Media Guru at Trulia Hi Brad!

Most of our search results pages are back. Over the weekend we noticed the de-indexed pages start to get re-indexed. No changes were made on our end so it really looks like it was a technical issue and not a penalty.

It's no secret they've tried everything possible to completely take over SERPS and box out the brokers and agents so they become a necessary partner. I'm glad to hear that Google is evaluating these tactics. Whatever is the cause- some brokers may be able to take advantage of their new rankings...

Exactly. Ssshhh...don't tell Trulia how to fix it. Sorry Rudy but I think most agents would rather rank higher than your company...so we can generate our own online consumers and help them buy and sell real estate.

Given what I've read about this particular TLD, they've got any number of items that may have led to their being Google slapped.
