Please edit the title.<p>"Which websites dropped the most in the latest Google algorithm change? - Quora" reads as though the answer to the question is Quora.

<a href="http://www.sistrix.com/blog/985-google-farmer-update-quest-for-quality.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sistrix.com/blog/985-google-farmer-update-quest-f...</a> and <a href="http://searchengineland.com/who-lost-in-googles-farmer-algorithm-change-66173" rel="nofollow">http://searchengineland.com/who-lost-in-googles-farmer-algor...</a> are other links I've seen. Bear in mind that much of this third-party analysis compares e.g. US queries vs. queries against Google from Canada, Italy, or India, and geolocation can change the results. Also, different people are running different sets of queries and that subsampling can skew things depending on the query sets. Please bear those disclaimers in mind with any third-party analysis.

There it is, Mahalo (14), a drop of 84%. Justice.

I would be interested in the flip side. Which sites stand to gain from the algorithm changes? Wikipedia? Stack Overflow? Yelp?

It will be interesting to see how JCalcanis spins this. Last I heard he was congratulating Google on going after the content farms and changing their algorithms, claiming Mahalo had superior original content. Assuming these stats aren't totally bunk, something's gotta change in that statement to avoid massive cognitive dissonance.

anyone else really surprised that ehow isn't on that list? I mean seriously they are some of the worst offenders I've seen.

Somewhat ironic: AllBusiness, which is #25 on that list, has a relatively high-quality (non-content-farm) post that <i>praises</i> this exact change: <a href="http://www.allbusiness.com/technology/software-services-applications-internet-social/15479951-1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.allbusiness.com/technology/software-services-appl...</a>

It took me about 7 articles on AC before I realized Google would eventually catch up with the content farms. That's also the same time I recognized the problem I was contributing to.<p>Happened a lot sooner than I expected though. :)<p>ETA: On the plus side, my articles should make the cut if they go on a purge to raise the quality level.

I really don't get much utility out of Mahalo, but why would it drop in this algorithm change? Isn't the site like a wikipedia for search results?

is it somehow possible to put that list into the chrome block list plugin?
