I've been noticing major fluctuations. And it is still going on as of today. I've also noticed quite a number of people had their rankings bombed. I would suggest waiting till Saturday-Monday for it to settle down.

Not to sound like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist... But Mother's Day is this Sunday and G decides to wreck everyone's rankings... Coincidence? What about pre-Valentine's Day update?

Big G - sucks.

Yup - one of my sites was trashed on the 1st.

It's strange... May 2020, it was hit but recovered just before December 2020 where it was hit again, and 2 weeks ago it got back to where it was and now it's trashed again. Other sites haven't been hit at all.

I´m now 11 Months active in SEO, is this the normal business of a marketer which do SEO
Google give me a punch in the ribs, then I think wow the traffic is just growing more than perfect and then I get another punch in the ribs. Should I get used to it ?

If you willing to tell google that all the sites are yours by linking 2 way then what's the point in maintaining different name records, hosting on different server, etc...

again linking back between sites is asking for trouble

take a look at this

Only my USA rankings are affected, so I assume that the update was only rolled out in the USA.

Google US is always the first to get all these algorithm updates.

I´m still losing rankings and keywords, how is going with your clients? Still falling ore any changes.

 

[Jamessmith11]

I am not seeing any major fluctuation in my ranking so please let me know if there any changes

 

[jaerehan]

I too seen some fluctuation and sudden dip in my site. I think Google update works well.

 

[Deleted member 1441825]

I'm still experiencing strange fluctuations.

Positions moving up and down in pages. It coulc be first page now then later 5-6 pages back... then to page 2-3, then back to page 1... then page 2.

Strangest of all: my keyword rankings have improved, but traffic fell instead.

Very, very weird.
