just wondering if anyone else is seeing a radicial traffic drop because of google algo changes.

here's an analytics graph of one of my sites:

note how it ups and dips (weekend dips) and then this week its dropped off rather dramatically.

if anyone has any hints or tips as to how to adjust to these new google algo changes it would be greatly appreciated.

Can you describe what your site where you see the drop is about, and how it's structured? What's the new Google algo doing, you think?

Speaking just for blogoscoped.com I don't think anything unusual so far...

there's a lot of discussion about it on webmasterworld:

"one of our big forums dropped from 300k to 70k but we are still ranking and getting good traffic. It's a PR6 and been around since 02. "

the site i run that's been most affected is an online bookshop:
http://books.global-investor.com

200,000 pages indexed:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=site%3Abooks.global-investor.com&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

i was just wondering if anyone else is seeing similar traffic drops.

Maybe they are selling text link ads? Or maybe they violated some webmaster guidelines?
