Sudden Ranked Drop? Google Algo Update?

heopas said:
Today many users and online platforms report that there are huge movements in SERP. I have run a few tests about that and I have spot that Google Search Console doesn't index redirects anymore. That means all redirects value lost and probably this is the reason that ranks drop and not an algorithm update.

How do you run this test? I have very few redirects on my websites but on Monday, February 10 I started to see big drops in traffic

Monday has been a tough day!! Everything was very fine till Sunday night but today traffic is dropping a lot!!
Getting fed up with Google, especially when 100% white hat sites with genuine content are affected.
 
One of my websites that was hit on Jan 7th, 2020 did recover a bit, about 25% of lost traffic after the Sunday/Monday, Feb 9th and 10th update. Didn't do anything to it. Just let it sit for a while. From the feedback here and elsewhere by now I have a pretty good idea of what went wrong and why it was hit. In my case, it comes down to on-page and anchor text in relation to keywords on-page. Neven meant keyword stuffing on purpose, just did what worked with moderation. Apparently that's not good enough now :) I don't take it personally, just see it as 'collateral damage'.

As I mentioned previously, forget about a uniform approach to SEO, you need to analyze how things fit together (on-page, links, anchor text) in the context of your website. Last but not least, I never had an issue with google deindexing my posts, so those who are still dealing with it might be facing a different problem. Google is known for doing updates targeting different things in one update just to confuse the SEO community. Like it or not, that's how it is now.

P.S. I'm still surprised to see people posting on BHW that bulkaddurl all of the sudden stopped working, did google target them for indexing because it was a popular choice for many? time will tell, or we might never know.
 
Dancing again ???? weekend I noticed organic traffic slowly coming back , but yesterday and today ,suddenly organic traffic getting lesser
 
Did anyone try to change Wordpress theme ? Maybe it's affecting mobile friendliness ?
 
What do you think guys about manual penalty? I think we got manual penalty, but without any messages in GSC, can be possible? Maybe Google manual ban our websites, and havent sent messages yet.

Manual penalties show up in webmaster tools. It must be an algo penalty or something is seriously wrong with the crawler. I guess its a mix of both. They definitely have some problems with their spiders/crawler. My sites get deindexed, indexed, deindexed etc. Its a goddamn farce they are not addressing it officially.

Traffic drops because pages get deindexed which results in loss of rankings. Happens for me too. This happens to normal websites. For Pinterest, Tumblr and other High DA websites there are not such problems, they are not getting deindexed. Thats why the serps are full of shit for some search terms. Normal websites are being removed from the serps, while authority sites won't face this issue and just take over the serps...even they have some low quality spun content.
 
Bulkaddurl.com wasn't working for me the last few days. I sent them an email and asked if everything is working. Here is the reply:

"Hello.

Processing in Normal and VIP differs only in priority (VIP is processed before Normal).

About indexing issues.

This is strange, because now in general through the urls of all the clients of the service the indexation rate is about 90%.

This can be google's filter on the quality of content. Or sometimes google's bot has some delay in indexing (1-24 hours, but very rarely).

Hope this information will help you to understand more about the indexing process:

I use some technical magic with Google Search Console for indexing. There is nothing "blackhat" in that technique, a lot of people (including me) using to index their white-hat pages.

This method is very difficult technically (and that is why is not cheap), but it has the highest indexing rate among the available on the market (you can check this very simply - just make simple split-test).

In fact, after that Google's bot visits your page immediately and if everything is good your page will be indexed in a matter of minutes.

In general through the urls of all the clients of the service the indexation rate is about 90%.

But if your pages are not indexed...

The problem can be with the quality of the pages (content quality + domain quality).

In fact, you should compare my service with some others to see which is more efficient. For example, if you have 100 links - shuffle them, split into 2 equal parts and try to index one of them with my service and other with any other service. And you'll see exactly which method is better on your links. And you'll see exactly https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url ). Or will be indexed, but de-indexed in a very short period (for example if they have low quality).

I create my own sites. It's easy to check different indexation tools with them because the domains are new so there are no filters on them. All links that I add are indexed in some minutes. And using server logs I see that Google's bot visits every page immediately after the service finished to work with that URL. And everything other depends only on google's conditions: "Note: The page will be considered for indexing only if it meets our quality guidelines and avoids the use of noindex directives."

To get the page indexed you need Bot + "quality guidelines". My service guarantee bot. If you guarantee "quality guidelines" your pages will be indexed.

The truth is that the method he used to index the links is not working because Search Console has issues.

We can try to index one websites that didn't get hit and check if that website will indexed. If yes, the problem is our websites

I know this, but if there is a delay in Google, and will be showed later? Who know..

Omg, these fucking indexing/crawling problems just keeps coming again and again. They just deindexed a few of my websites again, they are not in the index anymore. No manual penalty or such. Bulkaddurl is not working as well.

What the heck is going on there?

Yes it happens to me too the 1st february, one on my website was affected by this huge problem. That's very scary if that happens little by little on all the websites.
I thought this mess will end the 17 december but it appears this "new algo" is continuing to run and penalize websites slowly and randomly.
