anyone else get slammed by google last week? - GoFuckYourself.com

Just noticed a huge drop in google traffic to two of our sites, unrelated to each other. Exactly the same day. August 25. I've had this happen before, but never to 2 completely different sites, on exactly the same day. We lost 50% of our google traffic from the 24th to the 25th, and it has stayed there...

Anybody else have the same experience, or know why this might have happened?

Did your rankings change? Or just the traffic?

1 top listing dissapeared completely :/ No idea why.

Page ranking is the same as it was, PR5

I don't recall that being the name, hmm?

Yeah, a bunch of people are seeing that same sort of thing. It's looking like Google tweaked some aspect of their algorythm.

Seems like Google started deleting some pages that were spammed-- Look at this site which had top SERP listings:

I'll tell ya this, my google adwords dropped off the face of the earth... I put in a budget of 4k a day and it gave me like 10 clicks at most.

I'll settle for a PR of zero if they would send the traffic back,

PR 4 and 5 means shit if you don't got's the traffic

Wasn't talking about PR, but actual ranking, as in 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. for specific keywords.
