I think Google has rolled out any major algo update in last couple of days. Most of my US projects got affected negatively. I have always followed white hat guidelines, even when the SEOs were in chaos I survived both Penguin and Panda updates but this time the result is worst - keywords position gone down heavily. Did anything happen with you? ... * Sorry for the typo. The title should read as "Major algorithm update from Google!"
the best way to be save from panda and penguin is to just concentrate on your backlinks which must be from white hat ways. dont shape them spammy and dont automate anything with any kind of blackhat tool.
last major algo update was penguin update. i don't know if any "major" update in the past couple of days. google however modifies their ango on a regular basis
Yes there is! Penguin ate my site, buy from last 3-4 days I see rankings coming back to where they were
I also noticed a big drop for all my sites, a few days ago. I had something like 10 site's on first page, but now are all gone.
I think you are right, my website is also getting some kind of traffic issue from last 2 days and even yesterday my website hit the maximum number of traffic as compare to last one month but suddenly there is some downfall started after it.
Since penguin, it's to be expected that Google are making slight adjustments to the algorithm to try and reduce poor results. We did see a drop in ranking for our two main keywords 3-4 days ago, but these have since bounced back to the top two results. WebDev
talked to my people and there was a an update, currently we know about hundreds of search rank dropping.
I noticed it on the same day when the post has made. According to the forum time - 21st July and according to my time zone (Indian standard time) - 22nd July. I'm not sure the update might have 1 or 2 days earlier.
That's definitely a good news! Did you do any special treatment after the website got hit by Penguin update?
I did see some fluctuations in a few of my sites which was a bit alarming but they have settled down again to roughly what is was before.
AS far I know, last update was panda 3.8 on June 25. After that, Google issue some link warning on July 19. Found no i9nformation regarding any update on 21/22 July. Sometimes, seeing the fluctuations, but not much.
I kind of confuss where do you know that google have change their algorithm update? as far as I know about SEO is quality content, quality backlink, keyword density.
There wasn't a "major" update at all. Google just did another round of discounting (the value of) spammy links and, obviously, the end results is a rank drop. It has been mentioned on plenty of SEO blogs and even by Google (Matt Cutts).
