I have a client with 5 SmartCJ sites and all five seem to have gotten hit by update in January 2014 in google search. All dropped about 90% of their traffic.

Hi,
Am sitting in shock, 1 million of traffic wiped out in 7 days.I guess everyone using SCJ must have seen some kind of serious drop in traffic.

Hi,
I don't think google will justify why they did this,it seems like a penalty to all sites using SCJ, but so far sites have not got de-indexed.

Deindexing sites one by one manualy takes to much time. These is more easy and effective

I agree and I think chances of sites coming back are very less.

I agree that it's better to create new sites and try not to copy layouts from old sites.

I don't think its a layout issue cause not all webmasters are using same layout.I myself have 6 different kind of layouts and all of them got hit.
