Google Farmer Update Slap Banned Most Of My AdSense Sites

    Did anyone survive the recent update on Google algorithm with their thin MFA "Xfactor" sites? I had about 100 of them banned/deindexed on Google, but my AdSense account is still valid.

    Most of those sites are now making ZERO, but some are still getting traffic from Bing and Yahoo so they make about $2 each. Now I am only averaging about $20-25 instead of $70+ daily :(

    Google changes its algorithm constantly.

    Google is trying hard to improve the quality of search result and you have to increase the quality to get respect in google eye.

    Well said, and keeping this in mind most of the 'Auto Blogs' will fail under this scenario...
    It should have been done a bit earlier to slap duplicate content, any ways its never too late to learn

    I think you should review your content , Try to post genuine and interesting content to get genuine traffic from search engines.

    This is the reason why we should spread out our traffic sources. It is hard to just depend on google for traffic. Just work on getting your sites on the first page again and dont give up.

    You should update your site with unique content.
    Try to build more quality links for more traffic.
