Possibly another mini google update

[Mr Positive]

Anyone feeling this in the last 2 - 3 days rankings are tanking and Semrush indicator is high too, @bartosimpsonio is this another update

Bring it in!!

Possible rollback?

Or next update where all the SERPs will be Pinterest only. Not like we are far away from it already.

Hasn't been a rollback for me. We did well in the first update, but yesterday specifically saw big changes on Semrush. Found drops of the same relative size for our competitors, which is nice. No idea what instigated the change, though.

My ranking are dancing 2 or 3 times per day!!

I've been noticing an increase in organic visitors after tanking earlier this month, so hopefully it hasn't settled down.

 

[Dolan]

Noticed a decent increase in my rankings today actually, could be a minor blip.

 

[X-Fact]

I had an increase in traffic in the last 2 days.

 

[RAP]

Yes I confirm, I've noticed the same.
A new update has been released.

 

[blogtaufiq]

[wolf3000]

Traffic is still down for me. Still continuing to lose kw on a daily basis.

Maybe google is tightening the screws on buying backlinks:

I haven't bought any in almost 2 years but one of my sites was hit in January(9th) and May, if that's the case I imagine if they go after links, they go as far back as possible. All my preliminary analysis lead me to believe that's the case. I'll do a split test, I'll disavow all links for half of the posts that lost ranking and keep the other half as is. Time will tell if it works or not.

 

[samrathgupta]

According to semrush, I've lost 45% of traffic!!! Earlier also I lost like 40% but recovered most and today I see again I'm lost -_-

 

[awesomewebsites]

Yes, I read about this on a Facebook group as well.

 

[BrandingCat]

It happens, I guess is the final dance of death of the 2012 style update of May 2020.

 

[WebTG]

Google is messing things like a clueless clown

 

[IG Professor]

It's just needly to say thank god that I am not depending only on G.

 

[megawarrior]

Yes, noticeable across my sites. Started yesterday. Hope it is just a temporary dance.

 

[Walterwhit]

I think only authority site will survive at the end.

Don't even bother yourself, one of my sites also lost ranking in January, but surprisingly the site with paid backlinks gained traffic, it still gained traffic in May update.

Note that I disavowed backlinks for the site that lost ranking, yet it still lost again in May. I never bought any links for the site.

I my opinion, there's no rule of thumb as far as google is concerned. Just do what you know is right. Something is very wrong with Google right now that even expert sites are down.
