I get more hits on this blog via Google than any other site or search engine, by a huge margin. I noticed that somewhere around the 13th or 14th of October 2005 the page views on my blog dropped to about 40% of what it was before. It wasn’t until I came across this SitePoint article, Google Update Update, that I realized what exactly was going on.
It seems that Google is going through another update and lots of people are seeing their site traffic shift dramatically. I wonder if this is part of Google’s response to complaints about splogs. Perhaps Google is ranking this site lower just because it is blog?
