Hello,
I am a custom design Architect with high value projects illustrated and excellent content.
Our website http://www.dreamhomedesignusa.com/ has been listed on the top two and three returns for over 10 years.
After the algorithm change our revenue has dropped by 75%, inquiries are down, and this is a very disappointing and unjust change to the system we have relied on for so many years.
We offer original content that is not copied from anyone else.  Our projects are one of a kind luxury houses and our key words are now being used by Wal Mart style plan vendors which harm and demean the concept of 'luxury home plans'.
We have followed Google's general algorithm for years and have rarely dropped from the top 3 results for very long.
We are now on the second page of results and find this quite unfair and inaccurate in fact.
I hope that the algorithm is tweaked to keep the small firms with high quality content where they should be, and have been.
Thank you,
John Henry Architect AIA
