biggest hit last night into the day.
Refs from google are down by 99%.
Seeing it across several domains.
And again serps are full of shops that i would trust a penny. If it is this that google tries to compete against amazon, google is lost

Huge drop in my traffic since yesterday 3/29.

Even worse today. Saturday is always one of the best days of the week.

Keywords are stable. There were no oscillations. A little strange ...

Some update or test.

Same here, keywords i track are stable , yet there is something that is brewing internally per site basis which is why may be the tracking tools are yet to pick it up . Very Strange though . It started around 2 days back to be precise .

Yes, it started a few days ago. But yesterday the drop was strong, and today things just got worse.

I've lost more than 60% on daily pageviews since yesterday.

Google dance. Some sites go up. Many others fall :-(

Similar thing here to what Whoa is seeing.

Does anyone why my Google Analytics stats are slightly different on the website compared to my iOS app? Are they using a different timezone?

Guys, what do you make of this February drop? -> [imgur.com...]
Could it be algorithm hit? There's no manual action. Any help?

I make that Google doesn't like your website very much.

[SweetPotato]

Right, I'm on my own, got it.

@SweetPotato - It's hard to say when we don't know anything about your site. Did you check Search Console for any red flags Google may have raised? (like they couldn't fetch your content, site being hacked, etc...). Did you do any big changes before that? What's your niche?

I don't remember anything big happening in February but if I were you I would read the Google Updates and SERP changes topic for February especially around the time you experienced the drop. [webmasterworld.com...]
