Demand Media, owners of mass-produced content farm eHow has lost a sizable chunk of its traffic due to the new Google Panda 2.0 release of April 11th.
Despite escaping the wrath of Google during the initial Google Panda 1.0 release, eHow is now essentially slaughtered by the new Google ranking algorithm.
The Demand Media stock took a dive today, plummeting more than 6% as of this time.
On May 5th, Demand Media will be reporting its Q1 / 2011 financial results. The real pain will appear in the financial results of Q2 / 2011.
Stay tuned.
