    Hi, for the last 10 days majority of my websites are showing a considerable dip in its traffic. Any recent search engine updates behind this? Let me know.

    Google updated its algorithm recently. The google page algorithm. It basically affects all webpages that are poorly structured, have too many ads "above the fold" or relevant content "below the fold".


    I would look at your websites and ask yourself do any if my sites fit into this category?

    Are you having ads above the fold? This might be a reason.

    First off, is it just traffic or rankings too? There can be n number of reasons behind a traffic/ rank drop....a Google update for example...(there was a Panda 3.2 micro update (data refresh) and page layout update lately)...But this could extend beyond updates too. Here’s Googler Matt cutts helping you with many possible reasons:
