Did I just just get penalized?

[DingDing0220]

I have been doing guest posting for 3 of my money pages on my site. One of the money page I invested the most , have some the KWs ranked between 10-20. This morning, when I checked those KWs, they are all gone, I couldn't even see it on SERP anymore.
I checked site:mysite.com, my site is still there, I checked other KWs on other 2 money pages, their positions didn't change, checked the Google search console, didn't see any messages or warnings.
Then I check those KWs on serprobot.com, it still show their ranks, but when I checked SERP, they are just not there. Did that one money page get penalized by Google? What I suppose to do? Do you think this might caused by one of the guest post? Is it possible for me to hire someone to identify which guest post cause the issue, and have the penalty removed?
Thanks in advance.

give it a week or 2. Most likely, the googlebot has picked up the backlinks and now it's "figuring out" where to rank you. If I were to make a prediction I'd say your page will jump on #7 or higher within a week.

But anyway, the point is that there's nothing you can do yet until you either see that page deindexed, or stabilize in the SERPs. But this takes time, so like I said, wait a week or 2 and then check again

That's normal Google dance

Google update is rolling out since Friday. Even though they claim it's a "product reviews" update it's a lot broader than that. I'm seeing absolutely irrelevant results in many niches and pure info articles are affected too, not only review articles.

Yes I felt the same. It happens just because of Google update. Wait for 1-2 weeks

above is correct. @DingDing0220 - also is there any changes to the top 3 positions over the last week for your primary keyword?

Not everything is a penalty that’s jus the way google works, just stick tight and give it few more days you should see some changes soon

 

[KeyzDT]

Wait patiently for few days to see what happens.

Google hit product review update, not core update. It was about quality contents on ranking algorithm.
It is not a penalty, it promotes or rewards “insightful analysis and original research.”
To rid from these, look at your content and see if you can do better. Check out Google’s advice for better product reviews.

It’s normal I have seen it many times, you will probably see it come back with better rankings

Please wait for more. It appears to be an update error.

1) Make sure that you have the backlinks from the High DA, and high traffic sites.
2) If the backlinks what is pointed had high spam or any blackhat methods in the page it may also effect your page too.
3) The 3rd chance is : IS your competitors using better backlinks, Better content Just Check it. Because google will check all the parameters and it will give the positions

I think that it is not a penalty at all, wait a couple of days more...

Get your mindset straight. You can't panic. Believe it or not, your life is not depending on it.
Imagine if you were so worried if daytrading crypto. You'd cry and forget how to work.

At the moment the top SERPs in many niches are filled with irrelevant crap. I'm seeing pinterest, web 2.0, contentless product and category pages, script generated pages at the top. Even as a user, I can't find the reviews and info I need. Good content, even non-review info articles are being pushed down in many niches. I hope this settles after 2-3 weeks. They are definitely not "rewarding high-quality reviews" right now.

Google intent to prioritize product reviews written by enthusiasts who know the topic well.
This hit, will take about two weeks to fully rollout, and will do periodic refreshes to this algorithm. Endure Mate

My traffic has also decreased by 60%. Google Product Review update is rolling out. Let's wait until it's completely rolled out.

Thanks mate!
At the moment it's a mess. I hope good content really gets rewarded in the end and bounces back.
The update looks to be broad and massive, and has hit info articles very hard as well:
https://www.seroundtable.com/google-product-reviews-update-big-31235.htmlThe funniest bit here is about a guy whose test website with a bunch of spammy links went up.

I'm glad that people who are behind this update aren't handling nuclear missile buttons.

Yeah, I guess all we can do is wait.

2 days ago, keyword ranking services was telling me many of my keywords had positive boost.
Yesterday, the boosts were reversed and they all tanked badly.

Now, some are doing great; some are doing bad. Strange thing is, some of the keywords that finally appeared didn't rank at all for the past few months. Guess they finally pick it up.

So no use panicking and catastrophising. Let's just wait until Google says the rollout is complete.

It is normal these days, You have to wait for few more days or try to build few high quality links for the keywords which is lost in SERP.
