I was hit by a sudden crash April 11, its looking like Panda.
I'm seeing drops on primary keywords (Texas widgets, Arizona widgets, etc) of between 5 and 200 places. Still trying to discern patterns if they exist. One thing is clear: its a site-wide drop, not just certain directories or pages.
I am noticing that longer tail 3-word terms (Texas widget sales, Arizona widget repairs, etc) have lost only a tad 2 places. It baffles me, for I would have thought that a site wide penalty(?) would hit all searches.
I don't think the minimal change on the long-tails is due to a smaller search pool.
I am going to test more 2-word and 3-word patterns.
Have others seen the same situation?
