Sudden Ranked Drop? Google Algo Update?

[Psh]

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

Ouch, that's gotta hurt. Seriously Google is fucking ridiculous. I just found a niche a few weeks back that I wanted to get into, until I realized the snippets already showing the "answer" straight on SERP, so no point at all. I bet the guy with the snippet lost 90% traffic when the snippet hit the SERP.

Thanks Google for stealing peoples content, meanwhile if we do the same we get penalized for duplicate content.

here is a GSC screenshot up until yesterday. Since then the spike has increased by another 50%. This has led to me getting virtually no traffic to my actual site and shows the impact of Rich Snippets on impressions.

A question from the search console when it turns out that your site has moved to the "mobile first index"?

It appears to me 10 days before the start of the collapse

Still crazy dance. One website recovered almost 80% visitors, wait for the others :/

Do you guys think paid ad marketers may have something to do with it? If I pay a large amount of money to Google to advertise my website or a certain KW, will that not fluctuate web traffic on Google? Sorry, if this isn’t a good question. Are any of you using Adwords?

I'm getting tired of this sh*t. One day my site is on SERP, the other day disappears, and this lasts from beginning of the month.

Cmon Google, f**king decide what you want?!

Rankings are back for me today

On what date was your site removed from the index? Have you made any changes since that date?

 

[dazk2002]

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.

I'm in Bulgaria and my rankings went down for a few days but now they are all back and some rankings have improved. I have used bulkurl on some URLs but not on others. I didn't see any difference between using the indexer as opposed to not using it

Had it for ages... one day I'm in top 5 then on the 5th page... every day, crazy fluctuations... I don't even bother anymore.

I had an article that was staying on #1 for a year, it has many support articles and backlinks. Now it went to #9, below a bunch of shitty pages that copied my content.
Thanks Google.

On line pharmacy with fake dutch address, you shouldn't be surprised. I'm shocked that you actually asked for help on google webmasters forum.

It started losing ranks on Jan 16th. I updated the title and a couple days later I got my ranking back. The interesting thing is that a couple days before I lost my traffic, I updated the title on another article. When I got hit, the article I had already updated gained a little bit of rankings, while the main article on my website lost 16 #1 KWs. Most dropped off entirely, but a few hung around the in the 40s

Guys,

I've just realized that my 5 sites that dropped on 16th of December are all .INFO or .ORG.

Are your sites also .INFO / .ORG or are they classic .com or other country-specific extension?

Cheers

Any news?

I reindex all my pages 3 days ago with bulkaddurl and I recover 40-50% of my traffic. In the last 24h, I losing indexed pages in SERP but traffic is the same. We will see what will happen in the next few days.
Are there any changes to you guys?
