Hi - we (a credible publishing company) at Finegardening.com and Craftstylish.com have been negatively impacted for traffic from certain keywords since the algorithm change. In addition to user-generated content our sites have been providing valuable information on content topics to thousands of users for 20 years now. We are extremely concerned at this drop in traffic for these 2 sites (all other sites have shown an increase in growth in traffic from Google). Here is the list of affected keywords (based on a 2 week pre and post algorithm change comparison):
Finegardening.com
Growing rasberries: -20% (drop in traffic for this keyword is twenty percent)
Viburnum: -17%
Gardening Magazine: -14%
Gardening Magazines: -50%
Seed Starting: -51%
Starting Seeds: -55%
Rasberries: -48%
Craftstylish.com (overall drop in keyword traffic: 22%)
Craftstylish: -23%
Crochet flower: -25%
How to crochet a flower: -30%
How to weave: -22%
We will greatly appreciate if someone can let us know if this will be resolved.
