I have a bunch of websites in my portfolio, some are up some are down. The money maker ones are mostly up though.
There is a direct correlation between ranking changes and session duration + bounce rate in this update.
 
One of my test websites went from to roughly page 20 to page 6 for the main keyword of a 3k words article written with AI software.
 
Traffic over 90% down
From 1000 c/d to 20 c/d
Only whitehat information site
 
Not much affected everything is just stable as it was.
 
Traffic 40% down amazon affiliate in France in globality, I was hit hard, somes sites even drop 80% down
 
Quality websites are pretty stable.
My current test project using deepl took a hit. Page structure, outbound affiliate links and maybe bounce rate seem to have an impact.
 
Traffic down, my site is predominantly an Amazon affiliate site... Lol
 
I am one of the victims, 99% of Traffic was thrashed and All keywords lost rankings (190/200+) Looks like a penalty but nothing so far showing up in GSC. It happened yesterday
 
Is Google targeting AI content sites? As 2 sites of mine hit badly
