Has there been a 'Panda' update in the UK?

[KnutDSvendsen]

My site in the UK suddenly dropped from page 1 and out of top 50 for all KWs using 'recliner' or a derivative. We are a recliner manufacturer and have gained rank over 15 years, and of course using all white hat tactics. Did Google make an algo update in the Uk last week?

Possibly I have seen a drop in my rankings over the weekend, is the drop on all keywords or primary keywords? The one you have been link building the most on.

Primary, brand KWs have not changed. Primarily anything 'recliner,' while sofas, my other main product group, is 50/50 in terms of KWs going up an down in rank. What I have not seen before on this domain is the blanket downgrade of all my top non-brand KWs from page 1 to page 5.

I've seen some changes this morning with some of my keywords particularly ones I wasn't ranking that strongly for in the first place.  Many have experienced a considerable drop (20-50 positions) although my main (generic) brand keyword has gained a place. Looks like I've experienced some PR changes too (mainly positive +1)

Going back in GA, I see that the changes happened January 9.

[DougRoberts]

How did you determine that? Did you see a drop in search traffic on that date?

[KnutDSvendsen]

Sharp drop in rank on key terms on that date. 40% drop in non-brand terms overnight. Much of it has come back since January, but we still have a yo-yo effect with 40+ of my key terms going up or down weekly.
