The overall hit was not very bad. The hit mostly affected the article directories. There was a marketing technique call bum markerting.

When enzine lost a ton of their traffic these people lost a lot of revenue. This is the way they srtarted thier business, and you could imanigen what happen to them.

Even though ezines did gain some traffic back over the next few months it should have made these people gtfo or reinvent a new plan.

This was one of the major hits that I saw as far as affilites.

I have also seen quite a bit of reports (complaints) that peoples auto blogs have taken a hit. I have a couple myself buy didnt notice much of a change.


So basically bigger companies with way way to much content seemed to get hit to certain extents which affect the affilites that use them for traffic method.

I have my own thought about douplicate content be used in another algo change.

It see with each change that haapens they are solwly going towards the area of dublicant content.
