Unfortunately, yes.. I have lost around 40-50% of my hub's traffic after the Google algorithm update!
I had an email earlier from YouSayToo website that explained a major google application caused a 15% change in rankings on certain sites. It appears that original content get better rankings within the software algorithm. This may have affected you in some way. I understand many others are experiencing a set-back. I am too new to notice any change myself.
Best wishes
I know a lot of people have noticed a change due to Google's changes. A friend was making about $100 a month on the Associated Content Website and that has dropped to pennies.
I also wonder if we will see a drop in traffic now that the weather is clearing and people may step away from their computers in favor of playing with the 3 Dimensional world.
I have an increase of 1150% in traffic for my 0 hubs that gets its traffic from 100 percent referring sites. No complaints from me.
I notice drops and gains. . . .every single time I check my stats. You are never really done with a hub, you can always improve it, or just freshen it up - or link it to yet another dozen websites.
I have %70 drop for my Triond articles and remarkable percentage for my hubs here.
New algorithm changed my mood badly. I have nothing to do unfortunately.
It's because of google's latest update to it's algorithm, hubpages seems to be the worst hit out of all the major article sites... Don't know where i stand now to be honest, I've had hubs drop from google pg 1 down to pages 4&5 and some have disappeared from top 100 results altogether.

Has anyone else noticed the same on their hubpages traffic?Though traffic has been low lately, I'm getting more traffic from Bing than I'm getting from Google.

I’ve noticed a couple of times today, on Google Analytics, that the site googleads.g.doubleclick. net in the Top Referrals source. When I googled that site it appears that it’s a redirect virus. What can I do to get rid of it…..or...

Admittedly I don't earn much with the Hubpages Earnings Program - I earn less than a dollar a day. However I noticed since the beginning of this month there was a been a significant drop in my earns per day, they are less than half of what I'm used to getting.It's a little worrying as I already do...

Just wondering how your day is going so far? I haven't noticed an avalanche of rabid ESL teachers desperately seeking lesson plans yet. My numbers are stable, perhaps it's too early to tell yet.
