Google hits us very hard this time

This is a very painful movement for all the webmasters. My site loss it's almost 50% traffic. Are any one there seen improvement in his website performance?

 

Do you have quality content and backlinks?

 

by "us" you mean fiver outsourcers?

 

it didn't hurt our webshop in any way. hard to say but, most of the site that was hit by the update has a lot of spam backlinks and mediocre contents.

 

Most of my sites have improved from this pinguin update

 

Yes this was really unpredictable behavior of Google. My rankings were very good before this update and when I checked they were never even close to the previous ones. Now I am working on improving and finding ways to handle such things in future.

 

A lot of site have been hit but I suppose at the end of the day if I have a site that has been hurt by the update then I have to go back to the drawing board and look at the reasons why - re-adjust and make things better

 

when i checked with my sites, I found that the effect is done and for few keywords my positions are dropped. I think the effect is in Keyword Level.

 

Seems like Penguin is blind to certain niches and/or languages

 

yes this time google penguin hit really hard

 

Nope, not at all. This is another signal that should make webmasters aware of the situation: quality is king.

 

painful movement, you got that right, i been b**t r**ped by google, youtube account banned (false flagged), adsense banned (click bombed on youtube), and then my website got de-indexed, all within 3 weeks.

 

talk about bad luck! what are you doing now to "get started" again? might help some other users who have been hit hard by Google lately

 

Nothing I've given up on google full stop, removed all the analytics from my websites and any other google products i was using, maybe i will try again with Metacafe and adbrite.

 

i have experienced the same, most sites related with technology is been hit hard :'(

 

really this update is very horrible. there are lost of company lost their ranking.

 

Nopes! I won't say improvement but none of my site got harmed by it. It hit hard most on over optimized websites. I had none of those, in fact, I don't even properly optimized my site and still they work fine. Although, not great deal of traffic but enough to generate leads besides ranking well too.

 

We were also affected but not that bad.

 

don't take this the wrong way.. but if English isn't your native language, then find someone who has more grasp of grammar to write your homepage text.

Also optimizing your homepage for 2 different languages ain't going to work.. in this type of case setting up a subdomain like languagename.webihawks.com to provide the content in other languages is good practice..

 

GOOGLE updates are meant for providing good search results.

The sites which have been effected are those which has spam or that doesnot have quality content
