Yesterday, my company, Rent Jungle (Rent Jungle - Apartment and Rental Search Engine With Millions of Apartments And Houses For Rent) had about a 20% traffic hit due to this Google update.
And today, we were honored by the Webby Awards (Welcome to the Webby Awards) as being one of the top sites in our category.
