    Google has changed their algorithum to hurt content farms on the web. More relativent search sites to come! Many are happy, 12% of the web is upset including BIG Business.

    Well Google did changes but it effects original sites more then content farms and I am damn sure they will roll out this change soon or adjust results for sure!

    I'm not sure of the black hats on this forum, but personally I am glad this has happened. This will teach us that easy SEO is easy, but good SEO is technique.

    Indeed but this change is not reduce spam! One of keyword which I track, have EnGadget.com at Ranked no.1 till 25th and now it drop to 5th! While no.1 site give information but it's nothing else but less information then in-depth review for that gadget! Which shows Google did some but small portion only.

    Big G is certainly making changes in UK and rest of the world, for instance I have noticed they have removed a lot of Local Business Listings that were using keywords in the listing rather than their actual business name. Overall, I reckon its a good news for the websites who strive to keep their content unique and fresh.

    My site (sig link #2) is nonprofit, all the content is original and personally written by me, and it receives about 100,000 unique visitors a month.

    But since this latest algorithm change, my traffic is down significantly! Can't imagine why.
