I am seeing the bit of traffic I have been getting dropping rapidly in the last day or so. Although the above link says it only affects 1% of searches could this be to blame?
Excellent link.
I bet that HP is having meetings over this latest google endeavor.
I'm surprised Google is saying this update has just been launched, because it's been talked about for a while now.
Google sends conflicting messages, as the linked article says - that's because the Adsense and Panda teams don't talk to each other! Adsense encourages you to surround your text with ads, whereas Panda will penalize you if you have too many ads in relation to your text, especially if they're in the upper part of the page.
I must say, I only discovered recently that HP has an Adsense banner that appears at the top of the Hub (you can only see it when you're logged out). Then there's the the top right-hand ad block and the ad directly under our profile box. That does seem a bit ad-heavy "above the fold".
If you then add your own Amazon or eBay capsule in that top section (which I've done quite often) and I'd say you're definitely over-the-top. I think I need to edit some of mine!
I am new to hubpages so I cannot really answer your question, but wanted you to have some foot traffic on this thread.
Thanks, I will check this tomorrow, as I need to get some sleep which I am short on at the moment.

I've just found out someone has copied one of my hubs. I've now filed a DMCA complaint today so hopefully it'll be sorted some time soon. My traffic from Google, which had just started to build up, has also been almost non existent in the last couple of days and not just from this hub, but all of...

There is a sudden drop in my Hubpages views, I lost 75% views today. Am I alone experiencing this, or there are many Hubbers suffering from this type of huge drop?

My HP traffic down since last three to four days and it's a matter of great concern for me. I have already written 50 hubs for the contest but still I am not seeing the traffic that I was seeing post google algorithm change. Is there anyone else who is facing the same problems. I have started...

Bye bye traffic!My account has dropped from ~3000 views per day to 1700 (and still dropping). At least 1/3 of that traffic is from Pinterest.Google, what are you doing?
