Crazy Google Dance In The Last 24 Hours

Out of 15 sites 0 changes, all use PBN links.

1. Smart Anchor Text Ratios
2. Smart Velocity
3. Minimum footprint PBNs

Which makes it look like real sites, linking to other real sites. It's impossible for a bot to distinguish. PBNs will last as long as google uses links as the main ranking factor.

same things happened with me one of my site suddenly drop 50% traffic any keyword rank in 1 page but now its drop to 2 page..

 

[RafaViQ]

Keywords went like 4-5 spots down, traffic decreased around 70%.
I'm checking the rankings every 5 minutes, I hate the fucking anxiety man.

Wow, I just joined the forums just because of this update. My site dropped 75% in traffic

I've invested a lot in my money site, so if these change stay the same it's no short of a f***ing disaster!

Regarding what someone said earlier about new sites, this is me also.

My site is 7 months old, very clean backlink profile (50 referring domains) and good trust flow. Affiliate site, roughly 20-25 pages of content since its inception.

I honestly don't know what to do. My SEO knowledge is mediocre at best - I guess the best course of action is to keep calm and carry on until we know more.

P.S you are not the only one with anxiety, I keep checking my rankings aswell but its every 2-3 mins.. I keep having to do Google Human Verification.. My Business went from $6,000 ad revenue monthly to $100 if i'm lucky. I need input guys, I want to say this wasn't because of the fred update and it was coincidentally a bad ARABIC PBN site I had pointed..

 

[Jez Usbourne]

Same! I've gone from positions 25 in my main keywords to 95+.

Exactly same situation like mine...

 

[Jez Usbourne]

I feel you bro. Not in the same league, but I pumped thousands into my money site and now facing the very possibility it's all gone down the drain.

Try putting your "main keyword" in " " on Google, and search... is it still #1

1. Smart Anchor Text Ratios

what exactly you mean?

AMEN....

 

[AntiHacker]

That is exactly correct. What used to be manual refreshes is done on a near daily basis by a sophisticated AI, so the idea of this being an "update" seems ludicrous to me. Yes, the AI changed something that screwed a bunch of you guys... but just because you get hit doesn't mean it is an update. The only "updates" left really are core algo updates, and if this were THAT you would see much bigger ripples than a minority of blackhatters on BHW bitching... it would be very, very obvious and much more wide spread.

LOOOOOOOOOL...
Like people here already said, when something changes, its update. Ever heard of algoroo?

Nope

 

[TheGreene]

Nope

Is it atleast a higher then your other keywords?

What's the significance in checking your position with the keyword in quotations?

Honestly, Idk if this is a coincidence or not but everytime I try to rank something like lets say a new project... Im still on page 2 I keep putting my keywords in " " and day by day it goes up to the point that my keyword in " " is number #1 and eventually I stopped building PBN's and other stuff and my keyword hits #1 within a week.. I was asking him to check if hes keywords are still #1 with " " because IMO it will go back up once the update settles down...

I'm praying this theory is true, just checked and my keywords are in a way better position than before.

My site doesn't have any ads. Each post has over 1000 words, over 20+ of them are 3000 words+, there is no 400 - 500 words article. That assumption is just BS.

Last time I checked, low value content wasn't measured by word count.
