    Yes...for every website that got "hit", another got raised!

    So, half the people "affected," are ecstatic...

    Well, they would be if they gave a rat's behind about it.

    The vast majority of webmasters don't even follow such stuff.

    None of our sites got hit by it. It seems to have targeted websites that had no real value in their content - especially ones that were built solely to make money with little thought to creating something original that was truly helpful to site visitors.

    How do you recover? Build something that isn't a duplicate of some other site that actually helps people - not just a bunch of "who cares?" words on a page.

    Writing more quality contents is a best way that we can do right now, as many as possible. Beside of that I think we need to investigate all low quality backlinks and disavow them all. Do again building backlinks with higher quality sources. IMO

      Yikes! When I see grammar like that, I can't help but think that someone here might have a problem understanding what quality content really is.

        Thanks @dave, I'm not a native English speaker so I usually have many mistakes. I'm trying to learn more English to avoid this

    Well, yes, it's been Fred which goal is to filter out low quality search results whose sole purpose is generating ad and affiliate revenue, presumably. So there is a risk for low-value, ad-centered, thin, affiliate-heavy content oriented websites.
    This may seem obvious, but to stay safe/recover you need to review Google Webmaster Guidelines and Google Search Quality Guidelines. And you need to audit your site for thin content, then update the low quality, low word count pages with relevant, useful information.
    Best of luck!
