I have a site I've been working on for sometime and it's showing a lot of up and down movement. I'm using web position gold as my reporting tool and I'm wanting to know what is a substantial amount of movement to determine you've been hit by Panda or Penguin. What percentage change in numbers should cause a deeper analysis?

Doesn't look like you're really lost visitors. Your 2012 number is higher than the others. How'd you do during the rest of 2012? Lots of sites lost substantial Google traffic starting in March 2012.

Don't look at total traffic, just Google organic to tell.

Also, I wouldn't recommend using Webposition Gold to check your rankings as it's against Google's terms of service.

I did hear say that Google recognises WPG and tells lies to it just for spite.
