Interesting. Thought it was just me. Seen massive drops across the board for one site, which sucks. Other sites not affected. Trying to get to the bottom of this. Will report back soon.
Haha nope, not just you. I had the unfortunate timing of ramping SEO up after the last algo change and was finally getting traction for 2 of my finance sites, and this just put my right back to starting point.
 
Everyone say it is link related but from my sites it doesn't seem so.

The ones with low quality links are at the same if not better positions.

Pages without any links which were ranking with on page seo got hit and lost positions.

Google again gets it wrong.

To illustrate it.

Page ranking in top 10 with ZERO links. Big drop.

Page ranking close or in top 10 with SPAMMY links. No change.

This may be temporary. Your sites might reappear after the dance is over.
 
One thing I noticed is that My post arent showing for my main Keywords, they are off the planet, my archive Pages on the other hand is on #80 for my main keyword
 
I think I found a pattern here... Anyone want to share their URLs with me, privately of course? DM me or email me if you know who I am. :)
 
I've been seeing strange movement on my end as well since Wednesday.

So right now, while looking at my ranks, everything looks perfectly fine. I'm ranking top 5 for all the main keywords I'm after except for 2 keywords that went from #5 to the 2nd page.

BUT. In 20 minutes, I can take a look at my ranks again, and all of a sudden I am down 2-3 positions across all my main keywords AND I lose the structured data beside my listing. Google had given my domain the review stars on Google search, so they've been displaying for quite some time now. But, whenever the rank drop occurs, those stars also disappear.

I'm fairly confused as to why it's happening since as I said, for 30 minutes all is good, but then for the next 30, everything drops and so do the stars.

The site is 1.5 years old. Nearly every page on that site has followed a similar link building strategy which involved stacks, press releases and PBN, I'd say that 80% of each page's anchor profile is non-keyword related.
 
Same here

Doesn't google just devalue de-indexed PBN links completely anyway? Or does having links from a penalized domain hurt your money site

If the seller sent the report and receit by gmail then they fuck the source, the target and all their relatives. Because they have smoking gun proof the guy was trying to manipulate rankings.
 
Whoa, that's rough! How did you build backlinks to that site? PBN?

Yeah, thanks man. I just build Press Relase, Web 2.0, High PA Web 2.0, Few Blog Comment and about 50 PBN's bought here on BHW. Nothing fancy.

so 68% of links are keyword riched anchors?

what i meant with others is like generic, partial match, and so on
 
My traffic dropped from 4,000 visitors/day to 2,000 visitors/day starting on March 8th. Oddly, my AdSense earnings have remained the same. I've seen people on other forums mention the same thing: a huge reduction in traffic, yet, no drop in earnings. How can this be? To add, my rankings haven't dropped- only the traffic.

mmmm most of my rankings stayed strong (one new site dropped but I'm not worried about it ), one thing I have noticed though is the keywords I did see downward movement with pages and keywords that have low ctr in search console.

*Most* pages with high ctr stayed strong. Not sure if this is a factor but if anyone else has noticed the same thing would be interesting to hear.
