Any penalties with new update?

I am suddenly seeing lower traffic from Google

Last few hrs. I am experiencing significantly lower than usual traffic.
My site seems to have been largely unaffected by this update, but that is AS FAR AS I CAN SEE:
1. 661,000 for Yahoo
2. PR is same as last month
3. Appearing in the same positions in Google SERPS
4. New pages and deep crawl pages not indexed/updated

I am worried that though I am seeing the new Yahoo no., my site has been penalised in some way and this is not yet reflecting in my geographic area (Asia)...but is reflecting in other parts of the globe where the new update is fully visible. This is why I am seeing a significant drop in traffic from Google.

Traffic from their search partners, Yahoo, AOL, etc. has not dropped.

Namaste, cool down. Even if you notice a drop in traffic that's a sign for nothing! It' s waay to early ... wait at least two more days! IMHO traffic slow down is normal. Depending on your overall traffic i'd say it could mean nothing ...

Hi Namaste,

Try a search on www2.google.com or on www-ex.google.com to see where your site has ended up so far.
