They are talking about content quality now. Its just horrible and not to mention pathetic. More people will tend to use now ddg or Bing.

We work hard. Always try to produce good content. And then spammers copy and Google them instead of us.
Now, the little amount of traffic which we do get (compared to the copycats) Google is killing those ones too. On January 8 most of our traffic has gone. I thought that was it and then again yesterday Google started rolling out another update. I am wondering what this update will do.

Things are improving today so far as I can tell. The traffic which I lost at the start of this year is coming back.
And @avinash29 I know your feeling. Its frustrating, trust me I know.
Any improvement at your end so far?

So far no changes at all. Traffic is the same as it was since the recovery after New Year.
Maybe I will be seeing it tomorrow. Good luck on the ride.

We has a lot of work done content wise. These few days. Targeted a lot of keywords which weren't that much covered in our niches. Now those kw's and other which were fallen are getting good traffic so that's a relief.
But still there are some sites which haven't recovered and gotten just worse after this update.

@ksmith29 We are seeing a huge bump in kw's which aren't relevant but they were present all the way.
Some kw's just like yours are getting better. But they are not ranking the way they used to do. Its like a completely new set of SERP's.

Is this update all rolled out? Or, its still going?

Probably its still on the roll. Because I am still seeing fluctuations.

Google is talking about content. And all I am seeing in the SERP's are rewritten stuff over and over again.
There is also a change in user behavior lately. Some of the keywords are ranking the same but getting zombie like traffic. Its very frustrating when you see a traffic spike but a drop in conversions. Its almost like spending bandwidth for nothing. Because most of our sites just sell stuff they don't have or depend on other form of revenue.
Yesterday was a bot day. And today is just no-sales day. Another thing that came to my attention that. Kw's which are supposed to rank are not ranking in their places some irrelevant pages which are linked to those kw's are ranking. For example, if there is a product page. Then usually it will get traffic and the 'about' page will. The second about page and the review page will get traffic but its from the main page. But now the second about page is ranking which isn't at all helpful.
