I have a antivirus software review sit ethat was doing well pre panda [around February], and then it got slapped during 2-3 months of panda, it's now back, but sales have dropped considerably.
The search volumes have hit rock bottom.
I was #10 before and used to get 5-6 different visits a day.
Now I'm in #2 uk and #4 USA for the same search term. I'm getting 1-5 hits a day.. That's 5 on a GOOD day.
It's quite frustrating. I think it could be done to the season, hopefully it's the season.
Or the other factor is that before panda there were quite rubbish results from a consumers point of view, many affiliate sites and some obvious sattelite sites that were designed to promote a paticular company..
Now the serps has changed a lot, the #2 and #2 are very authorative sites that have legitimate antivirus reviews from computer magazines sites, that are exhaustive and well researched. So they're probably eating up all the searchers, and the visitors aren't filtering down on the latter search results.
To be honest it could be a number of things, but I'm trying to rule out some, do any of you guys have experience in the software/tech niche and can enlighten me on what the search volumes/conversions like during the summer month.
I saw summer with a slight eye roll, because here in London it's wet and the sky is covered with rainclouds, blocking out the sun.
