Didn't know about this update until I got the BHW newsletter email. I guess that's a good sign. My traffic on my main blog is down around 20%, not too bad, but it's not getting much traffic in general. From 150/170 users a day to more like 120-140. It spiked up to 230 one day about 4 weeks ago. DR is 9 on mangols, havent built backlinks.

I had given up on blogging completely but I think I will add more articles to ths one and see how we go, will also start building backlinks, RPM is good at around €11 on adsense so is worth sticking with I think.
 
my traffic went down , must be backlinks, i see that for some the taffic doubled
 
How are everyones AI generated content doing? anything related to it?
I have a site that I launched about a month ago, had 120 pages that were “discovered - not currently indexed” and now most have disappeared to the point where only the main domain and ones that I manually inspected and submitted in GSC got indexed. Not sure if it’s truly something on my end or what, but the sitemap is successfully polled and shows the correct number of pages.
 
Most of my sites were fine did not even notice anything. But one that was a 2 month old domain that I did 301s from the old domain to new was hammered. It was on August 11th like one of the screen shots above.

I was going from an expensive tld to a .com cause I wanted to save money. Not sure if it is the new domain, the 301s or the old domain expired. I did all the things you are supposed to do to move a domain. But then let it expire maybe too soon. :(

Not sure how to fix. I might fix content there a little and wait for next update. Or look for an expired domain.
 
jesus, this is why i got hit again.
sick of this shit, 4 months old website, just had great success with quality guest post rankings, now wiped out.

Heavy AI user here, doing good.

Update probably has more to do with links.
 
I got hit bad ... lost close to 20% of my traffic overnight. :(
 
Some improvements overall in my sites after the update, but who knows exactly what they targeted?

I did not find any analysis yet?
 
In DJ khal voice another one. Seems google update is been expected like a woman on menses or perhaps like a doctor prescription "take two dose daily" lol :)
 
According to the Semrush sensor, the volatility has lasted for over 2 months
I think at this stage, it's pretty clear that Semrush Sensor caught fire a while back and they forgot to put it out. RIP
