    Ever since they've changed their search algorithms .... I've noticed:

    - Bounce rated lowered
    - Pageviews increased
    - Visitors increased

    Has anyone experienced this?

    Slightly yes, but not significant.

    Nope. Not for me. It's not really changed anything on any of my sites. But sounds like you may have been chosen over some of those farming sites?

    Well may be but I've observed no new changes on my sites. But one of my site is talking like you. Suddenly the traffic increase and bounce rate is moderately good as I expected.

    Not sure how I feel about the algorithm change.

    I've been hearing lots of different stories. Our site is primarily in the marketing industry and therefore pumps out lots of original content. Our articles are attached to other sites like eZineArticles though.

    Not looking forward to further changes to the way SEO will work but at least I'll have a job in 5 - 10 years as a result of this ever changing environment.

    I can´t understand how the bounce rate has lowered, maybe you are getting more targeted visitors?

    For my big site, traffic dropped 40%. For the small sites, traffic is up 20%. Looks like I'm going to have to get a job at Arby's to offset this terrible loss...
