Supplemental club: Big Daddy update debate

Many sites have seen a noticeable drop in traffic & sales numbers primarily from Google traffic over the past couple of weeks from the end of feb into march.

Webmaster world hosts a long discussion with all the usual "moral panic" symptoms..

Quote "around FEB 21st where 1000s and 1000s of legitimate sites lost all their pages except their homepage."

Pretty hysterical until Google guy steps up to soothe all those fevered brows...Supplemental club: Big Daddy coming - Part 1 Google Guy writes: "It's like old times. :) ... Based on the specifics everyone has sent (thank you, by the way), I'm pretty sure what the issue is. I'll check with the crawl/indexing team to be sure though. Folks don't need to send any more emails unless they really want to. It may take a week or so to sort this out and be sure, but I do expect these pages to come back to the main index."
