After Google Update March 2024, What Next ? Solution?

[tiiberius]

You have no idea do you? Like everone here. I have few full AI content websites and they jumped up actually...

Update is still not fully done so can't really draw final conclusions. But signs so far are very strong.

And there are also exceptions.

The only solution is to give up on google. Try other marketing opportunities but forget about pointless SEO. It is dead.

Good Lord... not another one.

Irrespective of AI or human content, Google will penalize or fine the websites which doesn't meet the quality level.

Another who? Realistic person not a dreamer?

People have been saying SEO is dead for 15 years at least. And it’s still around.

It’s the most unrealistic and unlikely prediction.

I just see the results on google and who is in top 10. I don't have to listen to other people. The last google update hit even the websites built by biggest seo gurus... Some of them even got manual penalty. There is no SEO any more. Yes, maybe for local business there are still some scraps to eat... but small / medium size bloggers can just say goodbye to google.

Funny you say that because you seem to be among people still doing well. Yourself proving there is still a way.

But anyway, we’ll just have to adapt as always.

My sites have been hit ... only few AI sites improved but they barely provide any income. I have been doing this since the beginning of SEO. In last year I lost almost all the income from my sites.

Yes, you can adapt but at what costs? what investments? this is time consuming work... pointless at this stage. There is nothing to adapt - space for small publishers is the smallest ever.

Sorry to hear about your projects. I feel you.

Agreed, costs are going up.

Topical Authority is definitely one of the ways going forward and it is cost effective. I suggest looking into that.

Enough is enough... I moved to other business venture... not related to google at all.

I just warn people here to do not fall into this trap... there are so many other skills out there. Don't waste your time on SEO and all this crap.

Yes, that's good but don't mislead them.

You are taking it too far. It's unnecessary extreme.

I track thousands of pages and keywords of clients.

Many got hit yes, but many also risen up.

It's always been like this. There will always be a way (and more than one)

Saying it's dead is false!

Do what I do.

I've been through downturns before and the secret is just to keep publishing but to keep publishing better quality content.

I know that's not the answer a lot of people are looking for.

Most people would rather have some sort of magic bullet one-size-fits-all quick solution.

Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in today.

That may have worked a decade ago but given how Google is evolving, if you are a completely white-hat operator and you don't use any black hat techniques, this is the only way to go.

Keep publishing content but make sure that you're not just publishing content for the sake of publishing content.

Don't just go through the motions.

You have to produce content that actually delivers on the search intent behind the keywords that you're targeting.

Otherwise you're just wasting your time.

It also helps tremendously if the new content that you are publishing naturally links to the content that got demolished by the recent update.

What I mean by ‘naturally links’ is that the value of the content on the page that you are linking from is actually enhanced by the value of the page you're linking to.

Do you see how this works?

It's all about value linking.

Unfortunately, a lot of online publishers focus solely on SEO.

This is a big mistake.

Remember Google's customer and your customer are one and the same.

You should both be looking out for the best interest of your website visitor.

Take care of that and Google will take care of you.

It may not happen overnight but it will eventually happen because most people refuse to do this because they are looking for quick and easy solutions.

Dam that's painful looking. Sorry to see it.

Same type of website same deal. Traffic down by %99. I am thinking of changing the domain
