Google confirmed the latest Panda update rolled out over the weekend: https://twitter.com/#!/google/statuses/183312403100995584

It looks like my search engine traffic is down, again. I didn't have any PageRank change in the most recent round (or in the last year+), but I have noticeably less traffic today from the big G. Just as everything seemed to recover from the big hit I took in August, it looks like they got me again.

Sorry to hear you got hit. I don't seem to notice a difference on my sites, but there isn't much traffic to take away. :)

Sorry to hear about the setback Eric.  Hopefully it is just temporary.  Usually when they roll out an update rankings jump around a bit and settle down a bit shortly after.  If it is a significant hit, I guess it's time to really analyze why other sites are ranking higher than yours.  Perhaps you need to work more on social media exposure and user metrics.  Those kinds of things can always be improved more.

It is too bad that your site took a hit thanks to Google updates.

 

I just read on the weekend that this company BuildMyRank has decided to shut down their business due to a decrease in traffic after being de-indexed by Google just last week.

I didn't get de-indexed and the drop is not nearly as bad as last time, when 50% of my traffic vanished overnight. This is a more moderate impact. It looks like my top keywords are still indexed, they were just pushed down a bit.

Looks like I won the Panda lottery this time because my search traffic is up about 20%. Looks like the refresh started on Friday, which is exactly when my traffic shot up. Still not back to where it was before the previous Panda update knocked me down, though.

Since my sites were down for the past week, it's tough to tell, but it seems like my traffic is pretty unaffected. Edward Antrobus still oscillates between 5-10 and 25-30 visitors per day, and If You Can Read, You Can Cook is still getting ~30/day. At least in the 2 1/2 days they've been back up.

 I'm looking for editors, beta-readers, and some demographic research for my upcoming novel, Once Upon a Saturn Moon. If you like reading soft sci-fi thrillers, maybe with a touch of romance thrown in, you can find more information at http://seampublishing.com/once…..aturn-moon

I think there was just something funny in the update that got me down for a few days. Did well the last couple of days again.

I didn't realize there was a change but I did notice that for the past couple days I had quite a bit more traffic from Google. That is relative of course, but my Google referrals did increase. They are back down to around normal today so it may have been an anomaly, but I was happy to see the increase.
