Google releasing a large update today

[bahus]

18% improvement.

I hope that the increase will stick for you (and me) and keep going up, putting the white/gray/black hat thing aside this 2020 update is so wrong on so many levels.
I haven't done any changes to my site yet, I have a long list of things to do but I think I'll wait for another weak or two before doing anything.
Last but not least, in my niche going into the summer I usually see a decline in traffic. It's seasonal. Seeing an increase in this time is a welcome sign.

 

[nirmeister]

oh yeah, about 20% improvement in visibility. Google are fixing their shit

 

[chlopzmazur]

Are you talking about traffic or positions improvement? I notice traffic increase but positions not so much. Still a lot of pinterest etc.

 

[nirmeister]

positions are up. traffic as well. on another site of mine traffic is down positions up. freaking weird. My guess its the long tails that are still down for that one even though the broad main keyword is up.

 

[broncobr]

Little boost, again.

But search is still fuc*ked up. Just searched about a particular drug and end up in a curtains store with gibberish content.

 

[wolf3000]

Still down and continue losing keywords. If this keeps up, by the end of summer, I won't have any keywords left.

 

[MarjolaineAuger]

Not much but a little rise

I went all red again and the SEMRush sensor is completely green for me which is unusual for my niche.. i guess im not the winner after all.

My main keywords on page 5-8. They should kick me off the serps so i can move on with my life.

All i can see...

Wikipedia, Cosmopolitan, Just huge sites leading the rankings... not providing a "service" just to informative.
When is this going to be reversed... :/ makes no sense.

 

[yoyoyoshi]

Got a jump of 87 page views today which is big for me lol yipeee. I'm too new and blissfully ignorant to getting a drop after google update lol

 

[nakamura]

I also saw an overall rise in rankings. The first page has been spammed with Pinterest, .edu parasites and other parasites. Its time they clean up the mess.

 

[Emme]

But still too much wikipedia, cosmopolitan, healthline, lol... i mean yes they're trying to "fix" but they don't need a "FIX" they need to "REVERSE".

 

[Seraphiel]

Anyone else noticing random "Submitted URL blocked by robots.txt" errors popping up in their webmastertools? Seeing that combined with some urls listed in SERPS without meta descriptions.

I triple checked to see in robot.txt tester but shockingly Google's own tool tells me it can be crawled. While they're other tools tells me it cannot.

I swear, it's one step forward 5 back with this company.

Something is happening now.
All my 25 sites drop 90% today.

From 1200 to 60 to 6.
grotesque, surreal and """""""""""funny"""""""""" at the same time

Did you get some boost from early May update and now you are dropping or you dropped in May and now there was a new drop again?

Asking because i dropped heavily in May and now I see big improvements.. 35% yesterday.

Since May?
My sites are dropped since October 2019.
And there is NOT a single reason for this shit.

This is an incredible drop. Can you tell us what type of website it was?
I am also very interested in your Discover traffic; did it suddenly go to zero around the beginning of May or at the end of January?

 

[PVD2000]

Something definitely happening in the serps again today

 

[RAP]

Makes me wonder if doing SEO will ever be worthwhile again because as things stand now, it really seems a big expensive waste of time.

Absolutely a waste of time, money and mental health.
I quote my post, ready to review my ideas or proven to be wrong.

....
Play with G is a zero sum game.
Sooner or later your site will be destroyed.
Nobody is immune.
And this is ridiculous.
One day you wake up and your online business is destroyed.
Move the same scenario in an off line business, one morning you go to your work place and it does not exists anymore, when 12 hours ago you were full of customers.
A joke.
