Another forum member, ziajunu, said they lost 40-60 percent of the traffic to their websites after the apparent Google change.

If Google is trying to push original content higher in its search results, another forum contributor said that they hadn't seen it yet.

The result was that anything we wrote would end up getting top listings on a scraper site and our pages would get nowhere fast."
