December 2024 Spam Update

[Nikolaos]

The best way to build Google traffic is to build traffic without Google... Is it sort of how it has become now!

I find your saying it funny but true.

 

[Klausgocrazy]

Did your indexed pages # drop ?

I noticed some pages of mine were de-indexed....

I lost 4k pages, they are all crawled but not indexed

 

[wwsosop]

A lot of my rankings cames back except for the primary city which is against a pbn army of sites with high authority. It seems like a penalty was removed while high authority domains still dominate per googles metrics

 

[GeeLark AI]

hasn't really affected my sites much

Hopefully still the same until the update finished

 

[Boriss]

Google execs are some big pieces of s*1t. F*ck Google

Hey everyone, I was doing just fine with every update till december spam update, today i woke up to -50%, seems like all my inner pages have lost rankings. Anybody experience the same thing?

I lost 99.9% but no notification about manual penalty

I lost 99.9% but no notification about manual penalty

Around 60% traffic wise for me, but even more with impressions.

What's the plan to recover from this for us if there are no manual penalties?

Fun fact: some pages kept their high position, some even got slightly higher but many just disappeared.

Lol.3 updates one after another

When ? In December ? I missed threads about previous two here ?

 

[xFaroo]

I got hit and lost around 80% of my traffic in 2 days, many keywords just disappearing, how to recover?

I got hit from spam updates before and never could recover

What steps did you take to recover?

well, you say it right
These 3 consecutive updates have meant that now 75% of my traffic comes from Bing and ......Duckduckgo......WTF

 

[Zorgh13]

Got 40% traffic increase after Core Update, and immediately lost 50% traffic right after Spam Update was announced

same here

 

[Jerry Zhang]

My website traffic also dropped a lot after this update. I have purchased some backlinks, and some of them may be low-quality.

 

[reallyniceguy2025]

Google giveth and Google taketh away.

 

[OriginWorld]

Lost 0% because there was nothing to lose after the Nov update, can't go into negative impressions xD

 

[wwsosop]

Dang, I need to knock on wood, I recovered like 80-90% from the depths of hell and back where I was kind of March 2024 when I got taken out. Seems to good to be true. Now going to unleash the power of not touching it

 

[dabz5]

Got hit in march but after this update I'm seeing slight recovery.

Great to hear lads.

Today I'm seeing traffic roughly 30%+ up on the first day of the update. Hopefully it stops rolling out and the losses are not as bad as first thought.

Did you take any steps to combat the March effects?
