Google update again?!

I've seen some drop, but not too much of a change, at least not the important KWs.
 
Do exact match search of a sentence from your site and you will find scraper sites are ranking above you.
This update is all messed up.
Greedy Google!
 
Almost 50% traffic drop here as well on one of my sites. 6 months old, 5 pages published (not including about us, privacy, tos and homepage), and it went down from 300 UV to about 160 per day. But don't panic, wait for the correction algo to roll out in a week or two.
 
Main site traffic down about 30%. I believe this is just a flux. Let's all hope things come to normal in few days. I've seen it in the past. My website is mostly white-hat, so I'm not that concerned.
 
My main Keywords have started to bounce back to old positions. Also, keywords which improved significantly went back to old positions. It will take at least a week to settle.
 
Yes, the Google's core algorithm updates happened on this week. There is no fix for the pages. The only way you could try is building great content to your pages.
 
There is no such update for any of my Website. My website traffic as well as ranking is stable.

30% drop in traffic on my 4 years old website with 600 articles. All whitehat links, no PBNS, no over optimised anchors.
It has HQ links from entrepreneur, telegraph, etc.

Same as my case then. My site is 7 years old, about 1000 unique articles. Mostly white hat (have bought some PBN posts - but the quality ones that look like blog outreach. Those PBNs would surely pass a manual review. Paid good money for them, too.). Never had an issue with traffic in the past though (it has been steadily increasing over the years, now reaching about 450,000 pageviews per month). But today it shook my site as well. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it grew to a noticeable traffic and the change affected it?
And to others who report drop in traffic - this is very relative. What are your daily traffic numbers? Because saying traffic dropped on a domain that receives 50 uniques per day is not relevant and can be due to other factors...
 
Ranking is down on my biggest keyword but up on pretty much everything else.

After 24 hours main keyword went back up. From #6 (74 000 searches) to #15 all the way up to #3 now for over two hours. Other keywords kept their gain. Huge, huge gain in traffic too
 
Website of the health sector with 4,000 articles and 10 years of existence. Progressive growth since 2013 to reach 6 million monthly visits. It begins to fall since February 2017 progressively. With each update drops 5-10%. Yesterday, it fell 30%. No link problems (they have not been bought or sold), nor PBN ... Some problems of thin content but the vast majority are extensive and of quality. I trust that it is a mistake of Google and the positions return. This is a disaster.
