So if Panda was about quality how come none of my 1000 plus competitors have gained traffic?

Oh and every single one has lost traffic, ranging from 10% losses to 90% losses.

Not one has increased, all have decreased. Some of these sites have content and features I can only dream of being able to produce. Surely at least one would be considered quality to you!

Hey Goog, all that traffic just went poofta huh?

If not your competitors, are there any new kids on the block? You'd think that the sites ranking at the top for the most frequently searched terms would pick up traffic lost by the competition.

If not, perhaps searches for the entire niche have dropped off. Google Trends might provide some indication, at least for the core searches. I should add that we are also in rough economic times, and some market areas are being heavily impacted.
