I'm seeing exact match domains go from front page to absolutely nowhere. Anyone else seeing it?

Apparently Google is targeting "low quality exact match domains" which will impact .6% of the search queries.

Just another way for Google to produce more clouds to coverup their intention of pushing organic listings right out of the serps.

I've actually seen quite a few of my Emd's go up. But maybe it isn't finished rolling through yet.
 
I haven't really checked all that much yet, the few I did check are ranking well still..

For those negatively affected, what commonality are you seeing?
 
If you want to sell cars, just get a domain name with the words trucks in it. lol This should be some interesting stuff once the dust settles and the serps get even more fucked up with nonsense shit. I'm already seeing more instances of domain crowding in some niches...
 
From 5th to nowhere. Other site hasn't been affected (yet)...
 
Hopefully if the sites content is solid it won't be affected, mine are all still in place for the time being anyways.
 
Im going to give it a few day and see what happen
 
They'd already wiped out most of my EMDs, this time they got most of the rest.

But my most important site, which isn't close to an EMD, is getting ass-raped at the moment. Hope this is just a dance.

0.6% my ass. Google always downplays the actual numbers.

I got hit hard. Most of my websites that were on the front page for years, survived all the lame updates and are now gone.

This is exactly why I don't give a shit about Google and target Bing. Google is going to self-destruct.
 
In his tweet he refers to "low quality" EMDs, many of you guys will probably have to build out ur emds a little more if you want to stay in the game for the long term. Perhaps go with 10-15 articles per emd?

Need someone to verify this. My EMD sites that got hit are 1-5 posts.
