Google confirms that a May algorithm update did indeed occur between May 28-30 and was labeled as "May Day" mainly affecting search results from mostly long tail queries. Many users first reported this on Webmaster World that their traffic decreased from 10-50%.
I noticed other fellow bloggers that some of their websites increased pagerank this week that led me to check my other sites and indeed noticed the change. Its weird because the last PR update only happened a month ago.
To learn more, watch the video below of Matt Cutts from Google confirming the update via Google webmaster YouTube channel. According to Matt, this is an “algorithmic change and it does impact long tail searches more than head searches”.
Did you notice a change on your pagerank or traffic?
