01 November 2013 - A possible Google's update??

[TheSEOGuy1]

Hello Guys! On 01 November 2013, one of our website's traffic has been dropped by more than 70%. We had added plenty of domains to the disavow tool, I am just wondering if its a Google's update or the disavow tool has destroyed the site?

Any ideas?

Could be both.

According to SERoundtable, there were lots of reports of a Google update between the 1st and 5th: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-nov13-update-17630.html

Anyway, is a not-confirmed update so it could also be the disavow file doing its work. If some of the links you disavowed were the reason of the ranking drop, then you actually got those rankings with artificially created links. So don't remove them from the disavow file because of the drop, just focus on getting new ones. How? Content!

Hope that helps!

There is a strong possibility of a new update because Barry is very active in tracking these kind of stuff and here is his possible on the same issue http://www.seroundtable.com/google-nov13-update-17630.html
