[Samarjit5]

Don't start making rash changes to anything, wait to see how this pans out.

I could get hit by product update as well! Not sure.

I can understand about some of my sites are just not good enough and just going down. But this site I have is a 3+ year old completely normal white hat site, no link building by myself, not trying to fool google, nothing. Today I go to search console and see this. Thank you google.

Yea, same. My site 2+ years old, no link building from past 1 year...
Is it an Amazon affiliate website?

In my case, quite a few sites have gained traffic from this update:
- Pages to which I have recently gained a lot of backlinks
- pages that I expanded with many subpages, improved internal linking

Usual pattern, I've seen sooo many sites like this tanked without any reason.

White hat, human written, high quality posts, no shady tricks.

The reason is only one: you've TO PAY them. Money, money they want ONLY your money (and content).

Their greediness is disgusting.

Be ready for the next core update in December guys.

No, pure informational website monetized with adsense only

So it is not product review update in your case, I believe.

100% agree with this. When I've been hit in the past, I always watch and wait to see how things pan out. I still continue to add content to the site during any rocky periods.
I've just had a look at my main earner and there's been no real change to the impressions generated compared to prior weeks, although the number of clicks has dropped down by about 20 per day. The tough call for that those is that it's to be somewhat expected in my niche and it not really being evergreen. Although Sundays are by and large the busiest day on my site and it's shot up again today.

Things will speed up again... Al best to all Webmasters

They got me too. I don't understand why.

i do not know why my parasite site jump high in rank google. I got lot of traffic from these sources. I use ai content for all parasite sites.

 

[Swiki]

Same thing happened to my website. 90% of my content is hand written, maybe copied a bit but most of it is hand written. Google has gone sore.

 

[achiever2011]

If you type buy youtube likes
The #1 position has nothing to do with the keyword.

That error exist previously. Then they fix it, and all my other pages ranking goes green.

This week they revert their algo again, and that error suddenly appeared, also all my other pages ranking goes red again.

I see the first link and it is relevant for me. May be local results.

Waiting to see if Google will put spammers sites, AI content, scraped content, white-hat content and blogs created by normal people with years of experience in the same bag and consider it all to be spam created by a robot

 

[mywish123]

my website hit very badly almost 90% traffic dropped

 

[LazyTomato]

A white hat website of mine got crushed too. Content manually buitl, only created backlinks were legitimate PRs on news websites advertising changes/services. Nuked

Aaahhh the holidays are around the corner and Google does its yearly shakedown.

Have to say that they are early this year, it might be that there is another update on its way around half Nov.
