There is an interesting thread over at Webmaster World’s forums that indicates that a significant number of web masters have noticed a drastic reduction in referals from Google in the past few days. Some are reporting decreases in in Google visitors from numbers like 2000 to 350 or 30,000 to 5,000.
In checking my stats in the past few days I’ve not noticed such a decrease – although it would be my worst nightmare as over 90% of my blogs traffic comes from Google at present and such a decrease would result in a similar reduction in advertising revenue.
Have others noticed such a decrease in Google’s traffic?
I haven’t, but then I’ve been in the middle of a “controversy” of sorts.
