It's Google's Broad Core Algo Update for Sept 2019

[greyBill]

One of my sites that has been in the top 5 (and #1 for a long time) for almost 2 years went to page 2 in the past 10 days - http://prntscr.com/pbrwxf
Didn't make a single change/backlink.

Damn. That sucks.

Maybe that's the reason why it fell in the rankings after the update... Google likes when sites get updated.

No change for me here. All CPA projects doesn’t get affected

Yeah, that could be it BUT I have other websites that I didn't change and one of them climbed from page 3 (constant for at least 3 weeks) to page 1 (#10). So, I don't know what this update did lol

 

[digi565]

My site traffic dropped by 35%..

 

[dandan594594]

Most sites are stable except one which has had a 70% drop in traffic!

The one hit is in the "Cannabis" niche and has an auto populated affiliate store attached so it could be either the niche or the high levels of duplicate content?

No changes here yet.

The comments on this thread look like regular fluctuations.

This does not look like a core update.

 

[staypositive]

20% drop in GA reports in traffics
Damn google

 

[dkv023]

Has anybody seeing dropping earnings in adsense?

 

[RCKid]

No change. I think Google is just trolling us all.

 

[ThisIsMyLife]

Not, that dramatic changes.

 

[onlineonly]

No changes over multiple websites. Some got hit n June so I can't wait to see what this update brings.

There haven't been any update yet it seems like.

 

[bartosimpsonio]

I think we've just experienced a Google Nopedate.

 

[ThisIsMyLife]

I think this update applies to real websites with real traffic and really SEO implemented. Otherwise, those folks who suffer to get anything between 50 and 100 PageViews a day, they come and rant, "ItS A SeRiOuS AloGoRiThm WhIcH HiT OuR WeBsItEs"

Having a closer look at the differences before and after the algo update, no changes in two of them and the new one (3 month's old) the traffic keeps climbing. What I found curious is that in all of them the organic traffic sent by Google has a much lower bounce rate.
The new site went from 73.91% to 10.73% and yesterday 3.89%, and the other sites which kept the same traffic numbers also saw improvements on the bounce rate (39% to 16%, and 88.24% to 63.64%).
Can you check and confirm whether you're seeing similar results?

Traffic is down 70% on my 18 month old site that was steadily growing and ranking well for some good terms with virtually no link building... The interesting thing is it actually started tanking around Sept 17 and then really accelerated on Sept 24/25.

I think there was something to this update but I'm not sure. Maybe I tripped some filter in the regular algo and it's not actually because of the update.
