Algorithm Update 12/21/2014? - Huge Traffic Drop but Still Indexed

    Hello Guys,

    We bought a website which is (http://gamestune.com), it is basically a syndicated website, it was getting 500+ page views per month, then on December 21, 2014 the traffic COMPLETELY disappeared (http://www.histats.com/viewstats/?act=2&sid=2857206) as you can see.

    I looked and there is no message in Webmaster Tools, no Automated Actions, no Manual Actions, and the number of indexed pages in Google are going up, so I am not sure what happened, normally when we see this type of drop in traffic, we got some sort of action in WMT and/or you see the site has been deindexed, but that hasn't happened, so we are not sure what is going on.

    Please let us know if anyone has any thoughts or can show us what has happened with algorithm changes.

    Seriously? I see nothing useful for anyone on the site. Its just scraped links. Why would Google want to send any searcher to the site for? Definitely a Panda/Thin content issue.
    I am surprised your adsense account has not been banned for the scraped content.
    You really need to fix all that ASAP.

    Yes,
    I also agree with Agent000
    Your site has no have content. so perhaps google spammed to your site according to panda algorithms. So 1st you add good qualities sonmtent in home pages & also inner pages. then send to request remove penatising.

    How do you know that? Google make >500 algorithm changes a yr, so there is a pretty good chance that there was at least one on that day.

    I know the content is not useful, I know this, (btw we have changed adsense off it), but the question was to see if something happened with algorithims in the past couple of days, that just caused traffic to drop in one day is all, as it had been getting traffic for months from Google.
