How Large Was The Google Panda 2.5.2 ‘Minor’ Update? [Search Engine Roundtable]

I noticed a drop off in traffic from a three websites last Friday (14th October) and upon investigaing found the rankings for two of those websites had dropped a few places but remained on the first page of Google, but for a website I’m currently working on getting ranked in a highly competitive market it dropped from the third page to the 12th – a really big drop.Search Engine Roundtable is reporting a lot of frustrated webmasters at the moment, suggesting this was more than the minor update mentioned by Matt Cutts:

The thing is, the level of complaints and forum posts, as well as comments on my post, is at a level that seems to be more than “minor” by our standards.

I’m not too concerned as none of my major websites has been affected, and I’ve seen some improvement in rankings on other sites anyway. And anyway, it may be that Google will revise this update soon to downscale the number of website adversely affected. Whatever happens I’ll just have to keep adding good content and wait for an improvement, frustrating as that may be.
