What are SERPS? And to answer your question: both. Queries and drop in traffic. My site is based on a successful blog format, with actual articles and features and blog posts bringing in a good amount of traffic from Google. But as of the other day it's like Google put up some sort of filter that shut out search results to our random blog pages. Formerly those pages brought in a decent amount of random traffic.
It's incredibly frustrating and a bit frightening -- should this be their new format and filtering system. My site is eight years old, so it's not like I'm a newbie, crying about a recent Google dance. It's just that in the past the shift hasn't wrecked havoc so hard on my traffic.
