Thank you Egol. I think you're absolutely right. I am seeing big changes here too in the google.co.uk SERP. I don't think they've settled either as searching using Firefox gives different SERP results to IE and Chrome. A big brand training company appears to have knocked us down a few places in the SERP. I am seeing a traffic hit of 24% so this is going to hurt.

Has Panda 3.4 March 23rd changed its target?
I have several sites which were all hit hard by Google Panda in the affiliate marketing space. Up until now my main business sites have stayed largely untouched and well ranked. That is until March 23rd when I noticed big falls in some highly competitive keywords - one of my sites taking a 25% traffic reduction from Google organic and the other getting hit by 40%.
These site have no Adsense and no paid advertising and no link selling and no Black Hat SEO like BMR, so my question is has anyone else seen their business site hit on or around 23rd March? At the same time I have noticed searches for popular keywords are returning many more results and even some big names seem to have dropped in the rankings too.
Over the last few months I have been trying to take action to reduce my site's bounce rate and UX, but obviously this wasn't enough.
Anyone else been hit by Panda 3.4? I am trying to ascertain which types of sites got hit and whether I can find commonality and causes.
