Reduced numbers in SERP Results

[aftershock2020]

Tried it. All the pages that were indexed before May update are still indexed atm. The page for that particular pill is on the first page for several keywords, even quite popular ones.
It looks like google deindexed just one keyword: "[pill name] xx mg".
Maybe it's coincidence, but I recently added on every product page the following text: "<SAMP>[page pill name] xx mg</SAMP>, <SAMP>[page pill name] yy mg</SAMP>, <SAMP>[page pill name] zz mg</SAMP> are available in the shop". Maybe google thought that I overspammed the keyword. But why the key "buy [pill name] xx mg" went up on the first page then..?

They have deindexed your site for that specific keyword is what the issue is. They do that a lot as of late. They didn't deindex the keyword itself...but infact deindexed your site from that keyword data record so that your site isn't in the list to appear for that keyword anymore - ever.

This is part of their new anti-spam counter action upgrades, which they haven't posted publically ANYWHERE up to date. Everyone is pushing for action to streamline the internet and prevent such things as spam and the like because if we self monitor, the less likely the government will be able to take a controlling hold on it.

Btw yesterday I got back again to the first google page for this keyword. I didn't add almost any new backlinks, only a few weak ones, and didn't remove this subtle spam from my pages.
So my conclusion is:
- google can and will (temporarily?) deindex sites for particular keyword
- nevertheless, keyword spam still works fine, as while the exact spammed keyword was deindexed, other keywords which include spammed keyword got ranked way better than before.

While you make a good point, if this was true, I can start up my scrapebox and drop about 10k links to my competitor with the same keyword to get him out of the SERP's right. What if everyone starts to spam the competitor???

This would be a very messy situation if keyword deindexing was true. I have no idea if it is true or not but it does not seem reasonable.

This is very good to hear. I don't really spam my sites but it looks like I have been punished for overusing an anchor text. I am going to be careful about it from now on and definitely hope to come back strong.

I started this thread a while ago when the serp results for my keyword started showing reduced numbers. Now after about 20 days, the SERP's are back at the old numbers.

It went from 2.2 million to 1.9 million results and is now back to about 2.1 million results. I am guessing that it was some sort of an update that went on because a lot of the sites that dropped off their original ranking are now better ranked on the new serp's.

This should offer some hope for people who were dropped off the SERP's all together. Just hang in there, maybe there is good news coming your way after all.
