Why so many sites are de-indexing recently on Google?

[SEO FIRE]

Many sites are getting deindexed due to Google’s stricter algorithms targeting low-quality content, spammy backlinks, and poor site structure.
This is not random, Google is tightening quality standards across the board.

What are your thoughts?

 

[AirtightFan]

Totally agree! Google’s clearly cracking down harder. It’s less about penalties now and more about not meeting the bar. Quality content, clean structure, and legit links are more important than ever. No more shortcuts.

Google’s cracking down on thin content, spammy links, and messy sites. To stay indexed, make your content helpful, keep your site structure clean, and build real backlinks.

What are your thoughts?

Google's recent algorithm updates are a clear signal that they're serious about quality. It's definitely not random; they're cleaning house.

My thoughts are that this push towards E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and genuine value is only going to intensify. Websites need to prioritize truly helpful, well-structured content for users and earn natural, high-quality backlinks. Trying to game the system with spammy tactics is a dead end now. It's a clear call for higher standards in SEO

Due to stricter Google updates targeting low-quality content, many sites are being de-indexed. Factors like spammy backlinks, low-value AI-generated text, and poor user experience contribute to this. Staying compliant with Google’s guidelines is now more crucial than ever.

It’s no longer about escaping penalties, it’s about proving your site deserves to rank. If you’re not meeting quality signals, Google just ignores you.

Poor structure, thin or recycled content, and anything that looks mass produced is getting punished.

 

[danduongdo99]

Google's tightening is inevitable, it's just a matter of when.

 

[Frederik Michiel]

All right, except for the AI and backlinks parts. Google doesnt care about AI as long as the content is good. Backlinks are no part of the algo for a long time already.

Many sites are being de-indexed recently due to Google's stricter spam and helpful content updates. Low-quality, AI-generated, or thin content is being aggressively removed from search results.

why bhw allow this

why bhw allow this

I don't think they allow it, I have reported many of these rehashes (but only of my own replies though), and they've deleted them immediately. I think it's more of a not enough personnel to clean up the mess issue than a it's allowed one, they simply don't have enough people to hunt down and remove all of these replies.

I might be way off with these numbers (so take this as just a blind guess), but from what I know BHW has over 1.5 million members, but only about 100k of them are active, so even if only 0.1% of these "people" (or, rather, accounts I should say) are posting simultaneously every minute that's still 100 people that are making garbage posts every minute, which would require at least 50 active (24/7) moderators chasing after and removing these replies, and I don't think that BHW has these many mods, and the mods are humans anyway (thank God that at least the mods are humans) so they couldn't be active 24/7 even if they wanted...

So yeah, I think they just don't have enough manpower to clean up this AI garbage that's infesting our world...

A solution is to punish the spammers by removing their accounts. Just put it in the rules. I think the spamming will stop very quickly

 

[wwsosop]

Stupid question but i have to ask, Usually at least the home page is always indexed... Are yall saying that the homepage is being deindexed? If so does anyone have a example, I have never seen a site with no even the home page indexed, exactly what is on it that is so bad?

they do ban accounts left and right, I don't think there's a single day in which I don't see "someone" get banned. But you gotta remember that whoever wants to operate at large scale and has the means to do so will just do it regardless It's not inconceivable for a few big dogs (let's say 5 of them) to be able to create BHW accounts at the pace of 50 accounts per minute (using different IPs, browser footprints, whatever else is necessary to operate at this rate), so that's 250 new accounts per minute, which is more than double of the accounts that the mods wouldn't probably be able to keep up with, with banning.

I don't know, I'm just speculating now, but I genuinely do believe they don't have enough staff to deal with this garbage....

When not enough staff, AI moderating can do the job.

I have pointed out the problem in other threads. I mean, who are these scammers trying to fool? It's so painstakingly obvious you must be a complete retard to not see what these account farmers are doing. Then they usually show up in my journey thread where they have made some insane fictional money with some secret technique only they know about, but that they're willing to share with some gullible idiot who'll also pay them.

Or they're offering services that they certainly do not have the expertise to carry out.
