Ecommerce sites 30% drop in organic since the spring
I help manage SEO for a number of large retail websites and we've seen a significant drop in organic traffic (upwards of 30%) since around May 2015.

Can anyone explain that Google update in more depth and advise on steps to take to recover from it? Thank you.
