March 3rd till now. Anyone seeing any dramatic changes?

Something weird happened to us.

Just curious if anyone else has seen weird things as far as impressions and conversions since March 3rd.

For us it is like someone turned on a switch. The quality of traffic has decreased for us big time.

Yes, yes yes. I called Google and spoke to them about this and deny anything out of the ordinary is occuring.

I have terms that typically get 200 searches a day showing like 12 impressions. They of course go right into the 'seasonality' reason to any decline in search traffic.

Something has changed and it's directly tied I'm sure to things they are doing behind the scenes to boost revenue.

What we have seen is all the sudden impressions are way up, (Like a million more a day) and CTR is cut in half.

Conversions are down a full percent just since march 3rd which basicaly has us losing money now.

We have seen this before.....Quality of traffic has changed again.......

I'm seeing the opposite - that impressions are down. Obviously the changes that are being made are not at the same time for all categories-industries.

I'm getting less clicks with worse conversion percentages.
