Google releasing a large update today

[Magicsmm]

Bring it on!!
We are ready to face challenges.

Google is destroying the search.

I guess this is one of the worst updates not "for us" but for "every body". So let's just WAIT for THEM to roll back their previous Algo.
Because there's no sense with the current search results.

It is a very unfair update, but a month and a half has passed and I don't think there are any plans for any roll back. I assume that the engineers will just try to adjust the algorithm over the course of many months or years. In the meantime, we're a tiny bit f'ked.

Oh, dear... people really think that google will rollback the update ?

Sorry for the sarcasm, but starting from 2014 it was downhill from there and on. June 2019 core update was the first nail on the coffin, the next core updates were no different... and now this.

I don't know you guys, but since 2014, I never saw a small site/brand (that got hit hard) recovering from thoses updates.

The history goes like this: after a hit, you make a lot of improvements, make your site better (in some cases even better than competitors), but on the next update will get hit again and worse than before.

Everytime you think you found the cause, there's 10 different competitors doing what you think was the cause, without penalties.

It's like your domain get a manual penalty that don't show on GSC and your are done.

Well, let's just hope that this time will be different. The best way to get over a terrible situation is to be optimistic.

With the way that they keep on pushing out updates every month or so, I don't think anyone's site is safe and it's only a matter of time before your site will get hit.

I think we need to start looking at alternative sources of traffic but I haven't had much luck in this area.

Yes, me too.

Unfortunately, nothing - atleast in my case - is compared to organic traffic from several keywords coming from google, 24/7.

 

[YujinTan]

this is madness , my organic traffic drop till now only 100 , 50 ....

Those who are highly into link building, trying to rank fast by buying cheap links for their cheap content will get punished in every update.

lol, in this update, websites with cheap links and cheap content won everything and outranked everyone

Also, the sky is blue.

I really wish that the case was that simple.

You're making not so intelligent assumption and throwing everyone in the same bag. I haven't bought any links in 3 years, and the old one that I had bought are dead by now, and my content is handwritten, not cheap, bought on Fiverr, or spun.

Clearly you have no idea how internet works. Those bought links that you are mentioning are responsible solely for the rankings of all the major sites in the internet.

Has anyone at all managed to recover all or some of their traffic? If not, have you seen any examples site owners that got their traffic back?

 

[Junior Arthur]

Cash Cow still?

Unfortunately no. There are some that thought that they got hit, but in reality it was just a competitor that temporarily outranked them. None of those that got hit and lost more than 30% of their traffic recovered.

 

[gwarftron]

Exactly. The ones who seemed to have gained in the last updates are shitty websites, full of keyword stuffing, horrible UX, etc - most likely down to effective PBNs.
And the other winners are authority sites, Pinterest, YouTube, Google Books, Google Play, etc

Thats not a good sign at all. What about earlier core updates? Did nobody recover from them either?

 

[aadelmalik]

Anyone can update on the Indexing issue? Are new sites/posts indexed well or is it still a problem?
