    Hey,

    If anyone has yet to notice today, but there has been a huge decrease of competitors for many keywords. At the moment the keyword "Loan" has a total of 3 competitors. "Insurance" has a total of 4 competitors. "Hosting" currently has 2 competitors. The list could keep going.

    Does anyone have any inside news on the cause?

    Maybe the google quality score update has something to do with this.

    I have also noticed this days less competitors for some keywords.

    It's back to normal now. I am pretty sure that it wasn't just me yesterday, I checked from several computers; and same thing was happening.
