Hello everybody, I would like to know why my traffic in google news and images are decreasing from the last year, I follow up each recommendation in google guidelines but my traffic is down.

On the other hand, I have good traffic in Google search engine.

Can somebody tell me if Google news or images algorithm change in the last year?

Some statistics form site

Both algorithms did change over the past year, and they will continue to evolve, no doubt, and much more frequently than once a year I should add.

News, as you know, offers a short term ranking and that makes it difficult to compare the traffic for one news story to another. Image search changes more slowly - have you been able to pin down specific search terms that were affected in image search? That might give you some insight.
