I suspect I got hit by Panda too... we should know what are the basis for their classification or else, we're all in the dark. Asked here in HN but nobody answered so I'm guessing. The only clue I have is that after the "Panda hit" I'm on the 4th/5th page on the results on Google but still on top on Bing and Yahoo..

View on HN

look in your web analytics. the dates that a lot of people saw sharp traffic declines are:

    Panda Update 1.0: Feb. 24, 2011
    Panda Update 2.0: April 11, 2011 (about 7 weeks later)
    Panda Update 2.1: May 10, 2011 (about  4 weeks later)
    Panda Update 2.2: June 16, 2011 (about 5 weeks later)

My surge started on May 19 and it abruptly ended, actually plummeted last July 8. I still got first page results in Bing and Yahoo..
