      For every site that drops, a corresponding site takes its place.
      So for everyone who says their site dropped, there is another person
      saying mine rose.

      So what is the point in a survey?

            My small niche site lost a lot of traffic. From 30 to 3 visitors per day. I didn't build any links except several social media shares. I suppose it happened because it was small niche site.

    What makes you guys think that it's a Penguin update rather than Panda? Has there been any confirmation?

      Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
      Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

      What's your excuse?

    From what I can tell it seems to have even more emphasis on domains with low quality links. Shocking? I don't think so. Link analysis is the future of Google's immediate algo updates.

    Nothing happened with my sites this time. However, I got killed in a previous Penguin update and had to start from scratch a year ago. So I learned my lesson and don't build any back links anymore. I used to make a lot more money when I did the back linking though.

    Anyone interested in analysing this? Every site I have dropped back in January and would be great to analyze this bit more. PM me your skype if interested.
