We've been researching an alarming drop-off in traffic to OpenLearn since the summer.
At first we were distracted by the fact that we substantially changed our display mechanism and urls at around the same time, but we're not seeing improvements even though things have stabilised.
Our Online comms team have found this article http://searchengineland.com/google-confirms-mayday-update-impacts-long-tail-traffic-43054 and are wondering if this change to Google algorit h ms are affecting us.
Since many OER sites are similar to LearningSpace in the key areas of concern (few external links and value-added content), we're wondering if others have seen similar drop-off in traffic from Google since the summer?
