OK, I've definitely been google slapped. On all of my best performing hubs, which have been steadily gaining views, I have 0 google views for the last 3 days. A search for the exact title of my hubs returns nothing. I am not aware of anything that breaks the rules on any of these hubs. I would appreciate any advice from someone who's been there and recovered from it.
Did HP idle these hubs? Did you check your account page and find any ZZZZ's?
No, I have all green dots on my hubs. No Zzs.
This, "Look out world... fiddle", is plastered all over google. Stolen copies? Duplicates? Other?
Looks like just followed links, not stolen or duplicates. All appears well? Sorry, it was the only idea I had.
Well, you are still indexed and even got links out there working for you. You might be back in business in a few days. It's happened with others before I believe.
I'm editing the text in my first post, so as not to be dup.
Will interlinking hubs help? I too have been hit hard. Would it be worth my time to go through each hub and do the suggest links?
I want to climb out of this again - for the 22nd time. Am I diligent or dumb? Or perhaps just stubborn?
Sherry, paradigmsearch is right. It looks like all your hubs are indexed. You can see this by Googleing the following:
site:sherryhewins.hubpages.com
OK, well thanks. If I look at google analytics it shows a spike of triple my normal traffic just before it went off the cliff. So, just wait and see? Sigh.

Why does Hubpages keep calling my hubs "Duplicates"?Why does Hubpages keep calling my hubs "Duplicates"? It is really frustrating to spend an hour or so typing a movie review and trying to make it perfect just to have it be deemed as a "Duplicate"???

So how do I fix this? Google hates me, and I know it.

This is getting silly. The last few Hubs I updated had all links to other Hubs snipped, even though these links were (a) on the same topic (b) helpful to the reader and (c) pointing to the same niche site. I really try to understand why Amazon links are removed, and I get why links to other sites...

Is there a way to restore our traffic after this Panda update?

I'm wondering who uses MySpace or other sites to promote your Hubs? And what is the best way to go about doing that?I got some success by sharing my hubs with friends the last couple days by email- but I'd really like to build a nice strong network and somehow tie it all together with my hubs here,...
