I'm watching this thread for some updates about the update and not about you or bart or splishsplash.
So if you have to say something about the update please do. If you know that his links are shit, you have a SL for that, or as I know you can comment once at his thread.
Don't get me wrong, G fucked me up and you are fuxking me up here now.
Cheers

Without mentioning details, it's related to health and certifications needed to operate in it. I took courses and got them and using SEO to "brag" about it.

Guys, stop the quarrel here please, I would say no one is 100% wrong, just, when you think bigger, you may have other thoughts, no just solely SEO and these things, so, respect each other, don't bash each other, if you don't like someone, you can ignore, internet marketing is never a fixed answer topic, so literally, everyone may have different answer, and they insist they are right other's is wrong, but no one is wrong, if you believe in yourself, just do it, don't bash others please.
Let's fuck Google together, this is our together GOAL.

I don't understand why people arguing here. Just share your thought about recent Google update. We want to hear personal findings(gain or loss) that could help recover our sites.

Reddit email me: December 3rd Update, Odds of Growth/Shrinkage by Size
200 Domains were manually analyzed using SEMRush data. Of those 200 domains, only 5 had their traffic level remain approximately the same.
So all averages scores were worse for the down movers compared to up movers besides CLS.
Google caused quite a stir by announcing a new ranking factor for 2021
LCP, Largest Contentful Paint
FIS, or First Input Delay
CLS, or Cumulative Layout Shift

@Doctor Sleep It will take weeks to see something stable. And yes people here should behave. Anyway, in the meantime...

One of my websites got hit with the May update, lost 3/4 of the traffic and impressions. in the pet niche. I couldn't work out why etc so just left it. it seems to be slowly picking up after this update
For some (not me, I did not get hit in May) this was a reversal of May update. Niche: Sports.
Since I closely monitor this site as being part of my competition, I can say one or two words about it.
Negative aspects:
1. The site sucks at site speed. Not only the metrics are really bad, but the site goes offline when spikes of traffic occur - at least 3-4 times/week.
2. It is content rich, but it's not always the best or correct content. It's English only but the English they use could be better.
Positive aspects:
1. They get shitloads of nofollow or ******** links in exchange for providing data. Mostly nofollow. Link quality is mixed - can't go more natural than this.
2. Branded searches (exact domain name or long tail kws with the domain name) are around 5k/month. That's pretty good.
3. Strong internal linking.
Other aspects:
1. All content on the site is automatically generated, which means that thousands of pages might have 40-50% similar content.
2. They provide a service that may be useful for many people, therefore the branded searches.
3. Site is monetized via Adsense since the beginning.
Not sure if there's something to learn here, but even if this is a part of my competition (on many levels), I'm glad to see them growing. Their drop after the May update was a complete nonsense to me.

When you say automatically generated what do you mean?
The website is not a news site. They don't have articles. They extract data from an API and wrap text around the values. But the wrapped text is always the same, starting from metas (titles, desc) to content. The only unique fields in the content are names and numbers.

Please don't blame me... I'm not a google user, I try to stay away from google products.
But... I just did a few searches in google in my niche and the results after this update are much better. Junk moved to the second page or lower and decent websites moved up.
OK... crappy pages from "authority" sites are still there.

I can pm it if you OK it but in return I would like your opinion (as i have mentioned) I'm not a google user.
If you have a wiki backlink pointing to an specific url...
Do you notice changes in that url that wiki is pointing after the update?
