On 24 Feb have you noticed a serious dip in traffic to your affiliate sites? Then you are not alone, Google rolled out a new algorithm update to improve the relevance of search results by reducing "Content farms" or "low quality websites."
However, the change had a catastrophic impact on a large number of sites (including affiliates) all over the world. I have personally seen some of my sites Google traffic plummet ~ 40% but an increase in the others to see.
See what we first know based on speculation on the limited data that we have seen, have Matt Cutts & Vanessa Fox give some details, but is the best summary Google looking what the quality in this SMX summarymuch
There are a number of things, the still for me this update does not:
Why made were not many of the most important content farms actually? eHow is an excellent example here.If "low quality content" treated you on your website Google your entire site as low quality. You would have thought Google quality based on page can tell.I have a number of shopping sites met bad look, like other such has BizRate remain unaffected.I am very reluctant, change say something immediately as Googlebot always still seems very slow new cache dates on pages reflect, it is possible only on condition that Google are tweaking this algo for another re-ranking soon. This means that you have two options:
Wait, it-there is a chance that the algo will be less aggressive & you will be back to your original position.
Or you can start now to the next level of the algorithm anticipate opportunities.
Google will remove low quality of the content of your site, but we have no idea what looks like lower quality in the eyes of Google. I made some changes to websites beginning including (but not limited to):
Noindex add to thin pages (day think pages, empty pages etc. Review) Establishment of canonical or double issues (www/non-www) attachment to all reported problems in webmaster ToolsRe review any content sources that you are using that other (uniqueness think) will use can if you think, you have wrongly targeted I would a further check RequestImprove the content ad ratio on file your PagesReduce use of boilerplate over several PagesEnsure, that the main content of your pages are greater than the sum of the header & FooterGive Google-feedback on the Panda in the thread Google WebmasterI am interested to know, that if you had (especially affiliate Web sites) have hit:
How bad effects the Panda update you?
Apparently, visits to an online retail site of a voucher/coupon code Web site is now in the UK 1 out of every 200 . As this type of traffic year after year, your hard earned affiliate commissions could get emptied down the drain, if your cookie is overridden by these practices of rogue.
Many of the large gift certificate have an incredibly sneaky way websites, your override hard earned cookies (there are out legit there, to do things by the book, but I'm not naming names here).
This is, what pisses me off most, people are willing to buy, ready to commit. Still have you you sell at the last minute (seemingly without any effort) stolen.
One of Britain's great coupon sites last year reported that they more than $ sent gross annual sales in the value of sales through dealers. With this kind of volume, the networks are zugedrückt an eye & these sites with stealing your commissions to get away.
This seems very different, but here is a couple of thoughts (I would like to know you also):
n What do you think the role is the affiliate? There is this four solutions I can think of: I look very carefully before promoting some traders now when they have a coupon discount have a field is a big red flag for me.Ban of the concerned partner of NetworksDisable override the affiliate CookiesCredit of the affiliate that sends the consumer on the buy side before the affiliate providing the coupon.What solutions do you see to combat this growing problem?

Advertising disclosure policy*.EzineArticles aims to obtain rankings back, following the Google algorithm update
"Whereas we categorically reject any person who places the label"Content farm"on EzineArticles.com, we were not immune from this algorithm change," said Knight. "Traffic was down 11.5% Thursday and more than 35% on Friday." In our lives to date, this is the single most significant reduction in market trust, that we have the experience of Google.
