Long-Tail keywords are effected in Google's September Core update

[cc1]

I am seeing terrible results for some long tail kw's in our niche which were ranking pretty high but fell to the third or fourth page of the SERP's since this update started coming out. Are you guys seeing this too?

First of all, are you sure that you are not seeing any personalized results??

And second it may have happened. Because many sites were just ranking due to long tail keywords without providing actual useful information or any information at all.

Google is just removing them.

Cool your jets. Let the update roll out completely then state anything.

Useless content. Only ranking because of long tail keywords are only getting effected. People have many bigger things to worry about after this update.

I guess you guys are right. I just to have to wait for this to be over.

Algorithm update in Google is not always the basis for the fluctuation of your rankings mostly affects on competitors performance because they already outranking your website.

I know that I checked it myself first and then I started the thread.

@cc1 So, now how is it after the update?

Longtail keywords are easy to rank. Though I have not noticed any update like that you are talking about. May be I missed.
