I’ve seen a lot of strange Google updates this year and this latest one is very weird. On Monday, a lot of new traffic came in, and now on a few select websites I see traffic way down. This is now completely typical to me. You can expect these violent swings in traffic, and it’s one way to keep you on your toes.

Updates like this are the reason I don’t make all my websites exactly the same. They’re also the reason I’m always trying to diversify my revenue from search engines as much as possible. If you don’t, you might end up holding the bag at the end of a nasty update gone bad.

I guess this is just all part of the game, so it’s nothing to get too excited about, but this time I’m immediatedly adding content to the affect website to see if I can hasten its’ return to the index. We’ll see how it goes.
