Software and app portal softonic.com has been on the receiving end of a manual action from Google, meaning the site’s visibility has taken a hit.  As covered by Juan Gonzalez on the Sistrix site , there’s a sharp decline in visibility towards the end of May: The stats show a loss of visibility on various Google sites: Google US (-40%) UK (-33%) Germany (-42%) Italy (-61%) France (-53%) the Netherlands (-31%) Spain (-45%) and more… The major loss in visibility is for Softonics’s biggest directory, /s/ , which accounts for 40% of the entire domains visibility. The full list is here , but suffice to say it contains many of the site’s most popular downloadable assets.
