I have a .info domain that is basically an encyclopedia of science and technology -- 15,000 pages of high-quality content much used by colleges, schools, etc. Since mid-yesterday traffic has halved and virtually the only google searches I'm getting are image searches. All non-google traffic is normal.

If google has downgraded .info sites carte blanche on the basis that they're all spammy that's a kick in the teeth for guys like me.

Fingers crossed that it's a glitch and things return to normal over the next few days.
