It doesn't look too extreme.
Worry if your traffic drops to zero, and that's what a lot of people experienced during the March update.
So continue to publish and continue to interlink your pages.
It's really important to keep in mind the power of interlinking because you're actually training Google when you interlink.
But a lot of people do this the lazy and sloppy way.
You should focus on this rule of thumb.
If the value of the content that you are linking to enhances the value of the content on the page you're linking from, you're doing it right.
But any other way, you're doing it wrong.
It's all about passing value.
It's really important that when you use a certain anchor, that anchor should accurately summarize or embody the content on the page that you are linking to.
I hope you understand that.
It's very basic, but a lot of people miss this, and that's why they suffer.
Look at these fluctuations as good news because you're not the only one that got hit.
And from the looks of it, you didn't get hit that bad.
So use it as an opportunity.
Produce better quality experiences on your site.
Pay close attention to what I said.
I said "experiences."
I did not say "content;" I did not say "links."
I'm talking about something bigger and broader: experiences.
If you are able to deliver the right experience to people visiting your site, you will win.
Most people are looking for a quick buck.
They're looking for a shortcut, and that's why they're going to continue to get punished unless they are willing to play a churn-and-burn game.
You probably don't need me to remind you of how much money that requires.
So if you're a small player, focus on quality.
Focus on serving and taking care of your visitors.
