Sudden Ranked Drop? Google Algo Update?

Does anybody have sites for Eastern Europe or Central Asia, who see recovery today?

I have indexed 2 sites with bulkadd, pages stay indexed and a few new pages become indexed day by day. But positions are very low. First day by bulkadd l had much boost in trafic, but only for one day. Second day - pages indexed, but ranked very low.
European Site (Germany) - don’t see anything yet, no bulkadd
 
we need more time, there are changes in my traffic, most of the sites are up around 5-10% than yesterday (which is unusual, usually on weekends they drop a bit).

hope to see more good news coming. index are still the same (according to site: command), but the traffic is increasing a bit.

let's keep each other updated. :oops:
 
I think the problem is definitely with the featured snippets. Google tried to make an update for them and crushed the whole concept. That's why some of the kws are still up. I got hit mostly for the kws which were in the featured snippet. Anyone can confirm this?
Hi I have finally worked out that my impressions are going up massively in GSC but when I check on them in GSC, the impressions are Rich Snippets. There are 100's of them but no clicks showing in GSC
 
Schema.org. I added some faqs to the page so that they would show on the serps using a plugin called 'structured content'
I am still using data-vocabulary, but I dont know how to change it to schema.org :( and I don't wanna change the themes :(
 
I use the schema and faq plugins on the attached screenshot. the schema plugin has a step by step guide and it was all pretty simple.

my pleasure. the structured content plug in is the one used by Neil Patel and helps you create the faqs for the serps. The schema just gives you the framework. Google the plugin and there is a whole article on the web for how to use it. The income school guys also have a video on youtube covering rich snippets.

thanks a lot! this is very helpful :)

btw , I installed the plugin and give it a check at google breadcrumbs checker, all pass, no errors :)
but in GSC when I try to inspect URLs, it said there is still breadcrumbs error.. that's weird.. which should I try? GSC or https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/ :)

I assume you are referring to the structured data plugin

what I did was:

1. setup the amp plugin (amp for wordpress) and chose 'reader' for 'posts'
2. I set up the schema and structured data plugin
3. checked it using the structured data tool
4. i had a few errors in GSC but they went over time

I use the Yoast plugin and I deselected its breadcrumb option (i didn't want it to conflict with the schema and data plugin. don't know if that made a difference or is relevances to you)

i have only used the structured content plugin for the last week or so.

not sure if any of this helps :)

thanks alo!
I can't install the structured content plugin because I havent update my php on the server :|
anyway! from google breadcrumbs test it passed, no error.. I guess in GSC they will recognize it by time.
thanks a lot!

Good luck and thank you. :) I have found that GSC often rejects things and f you resubmit it. It then passes it

(Sorry for my bad English) Middle East(Iran), I've seen some improvement, I got hit on 13 January dropped 10 positions for my main keyword and now 3 positions are recovered, my niche is HEALTH
 
All my traffic is gone, but my positions are still up. really weird

Probably because the snippet answers their question without clicking on your site. Nice when Google steals your content right?

Exactly. GSC shows 1.6k impressions for the last few hours and AdSense shows 3 page views. Analytics shows 5 page views!
