Google's New Phantom Algorithm Hit's Sites

Google's "mobilegeddon" update last month, which was designed to favor mobile-friendly sites in search results, had no impact on HubPages. But a secretive algorithm tweak soon after was disastrous.
Recently Google Has Rolled out an  new disastrous algorithm which is Google Phantom.Read More About It Below-



According to it-

HubPages, a collection of more than 870,000 miniblogs containing informational content about wide varieties of topics, saw its Google search traffic drop 22 percent from one week to another on May 3.
Websites like eHow, WikiHow, and Answers.com are other sites that have seen significant drops in traffic over the past couple of weeks.


Google Has Determined that it is not like Panda Or Penguin Algorithm.
Sites Having abundance supplementary information, pages of stacked videos, and pages difficult to navigate have all lost visibility in recent weeks They are just neglected by google.
This Update will be the most powerful in history! So be careful from it.

With Google’s Knowledge Graph being notorious for detracting traffic from sites for “how to” searches, coupled with this “Phantom” update, being a content publisher is more challenging than ever. Even Gabe, who analyzes search data for a living, admits to not being able to predict what business will look like tomorrow, next week, next month, etc.

Have Your Site Decreased Visitors If Yes then you must be hit by this algorithm.

"It was just a giant whack across the board," said Edmondson, whose 10-year-old company employs professional editors to work with its vast network of independent writers. "Imagine how hard it is to run a business when you see 22 percent of your traffic evaporate overnight."
