Google releases March 2023 broad core update

[Dalene Morovic]

thats bloody discouraging as that doesnt make much sense what should cause such a wipe out.

google is depressing.

do you have many articles or just a few? sometimes if you have only a few big bringing in most the traffic, a random loss in those keywords for whatever reason for drop can cause a big decrease in overall clicks.

I had about 120 articles, 15 other pages, all of them were indexed, and everyday new keywords were getting started to rank. I lost everything. my entire website was ghosted on google. they still rank on bing.

The target keyword entered the first page of Google within 5 months? New domain name, or expired domain name?

Expired domain with few high quality and very relevant backlinks


***
I experienced weird thing which never seen on my previous websites. on GSC, when I click on sitemap, I can see submitted sitemap (picture 1). when I click on submitted sitemap, sitemaps read section is empty / blank shown below picture 2.

( I changed sitemap structure, resubmitted sitemap after this problem but no success)

Google is showing poor results right now. Spam ranking on first page of SERP. I think we all should wait for it to rollout before making any major change. I am sure it will improve once it rolls out.

This....what the actual fuck....websites form 2014 with yahoo directory like links are popping out on 1st page.

Pharmacy. ED-top for some pills.
Drop with a good history. Good high-level links from articles with various content. I didn't use *black* links for this domain - If you know what I mean.
I still can't figure out what happened.

Health is heavily regulated and moderated niche. Since google can't rank a page or web recommending a medicine for an illness without manual verification from its health experts. There is more to it than SEO to rank in health niche. Google usually promotes personal blogs of medical professionals.

Yes, I have doctors and linkedin for everyone. Both Facebook and Twitter are maintained from each doctor. I don't even know what else to add. Previously, it seemed to be enough.

I think your best bet would be to wait and let the storm pass!
did it ever happened before?

no. Sites that have grown very well up to this point have fallen. Exactly in March. All the links were put down by hand in white methode.
Another top site continues to fall every day by a little bit. It started falling a little earlier than the March update. The links are mixed: white methode and black.
Sites that did not show the top serp yet - do not fall, but continue to grow.
I have a feeling that some important criterion for pharma has been added.

I see, google is panicking since BARD failure. These updates being launched continuously must be to improve BARD. Let the April update roll out and watch for sometime. A lot of people are complaining about traffic and rankings. People are losing rankings for no reason. So it might not be your fault (backlinks, content all good) your webs lost ranks.

It took 13 days for this core update to roll out in March 2023. Compared to previous core updates, this was an impactful update. Google's March 2023 broad core update has now been fully rolled out. It took 13 days for the update to be rolled out, starting on March 15.

Thanks.
I see that the serp filled out either by doorways or high-budget sites such as healthline.com . One of doorways, which I have been watching, has been hanging for about a year with my estimate of profitability at $ 10-20k per month. Google allows this. Site owners don't anything know about it of course.
Year! google's amazing myopia.
