      I have been seeing some ranking and traffic drops on sites I monitor corresponding with the update Dr Pete wrote about with less domain diversity in SERPs (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-bigfoot-update-aka-dr-pete-goes-crazy).

      Does anyone have any practical advice as to dealing with this type of update. It seems like a lot of relying on Google to change the way the domain diversity falls and obviously trying to turn your site into more of the "big brand" that Google is favoring with updates like this.

      Anyways, would love to hear what people think. Thanks!

        Honestly I am seeing ranking fluctuations in all language markets but am not doing anything about it.

        For now I would suggest to just continue doing what you are doing until things have settled down then analyse what has happened thereafter. Doing a change during a change like this could hurt more than it could benefit.
