    Medical/YMYL site tanked in rankings

    If you, as the website owner, don’t have a medical degree, you won’t be able to recover your website. The days when you could invent a fictional doctor as an author and expect it to help are over. Google is perfectly capable of distinguishing fake authors from real ones. Therefore, there is no...

    Crawled - currently not indexed - Pages were deindexed after a while, how to fix it?

    Buying backlinks will not help you, nor will external page indexers. Based on my experience, in most cases, the “Crawled - currently not indexed” status in GSC means that the pages being indexed in this way have low-quality content. As a rule, this is content with low originality, not...

    Duplicate content idea?

    Of course you can. But why? If, after a week, the site where you publish it is more authoritative and gets more traffic than your own website, there is a chance that Google will consider the article published on your own site to be non-unique, even though it was published there first. So...

    crawled currently not indexed, what actually gets them in

    There can be several main reasons. Almost always, it comes down to weak content. The content either has low originality or is very templated and similar to other pages on your website. It can also be related to the fact that your site already has other pages targeting the same intent. Google...

    Google announced September 2026 Spam Update

    That's exactly right. Now we're waiting for the Google core update. The last core update was way back in May.

    Google isn’t indexing my service pages — I need help.”

    Three weeks is not that long for new service pages to be indexed. Another possible reason could be low-quality content on these pages. Usually, it is dry AI-generated content rather than meaningful, original content. Or if all the service pages follow the same template with minimal differences...

    Articles indexed, but not showing in SERP at all (Rank Math / AI content) - NEED HELP

    Just because GSC shows a page as indexed doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s actually in Google’s index. Open Google search in a private browser and run a site: your page. If your pages show up in the results, then you know they’re actually indexed. Second, having a page indexed doesn’t mean...

    Content decay - real phenomenon or just normal ranking movement?

    This is a real phenomenon, and there are some very specific reasons for it. Content, no matter how high-quality and original it was when it was first published, loses its relevance over time. That’s the first thing. Google is very good at determining whether the content on a page is still...

    Help with massive GSC drop for adult site.

    Google evaluates different niches differently, that’s indisputable. But what you did would be dangerous in any niche. I know far too well how Google reacts and what it penalizes sites for. In any case, I have no intention of trying to convince you otherwise. Do whatever you think is best :)

    Help with massive GSC drop for adult site.

    The answer to your questions is actually right there in your own description of the problem. You chose to create and publish 20 - 30K pages in a very short period using programmatic SEO and scaled AI content production. That was a common strategy for old-school affiliate sites. Today, though...

    Google Not Indexing New Pages?

    Yes.. days when any new content got indexed almost the second it was published are long gone. Now, you actually have to prove to Google why a specific page even deserves to be indexed. There could be plenty of reasons for this: low traffic, scraped content, duplicates across subdomains or...

    What is better? ZERO backlinks or 1000 spammy backlinks?

    Of course "1000 spammy backlinks" is better - that way you'll become my client a lot faster. All jokes aside, most of these one-off links from junk sites will never even get indexed. And the ones that do get indexed are usually flagged by Google as spam and discounted.. you'd actually have to...

    Will google penalize my website for affiliate marketing banner?

    If it's just one or two banners that don't overload the site, you have nothing to worry about. But if the site ends up crammed with full-screen pop-ups, sticky banners taking up most of the mobile screen, ads above the main content, autoplaying videos, interstitials that require closing before...

    New tech site dropped from 18 indexed URLs to only the homepage — 21 pages “Crawled, currently not indexed

    Could you rewrite this in plain, human language instead of using AI? Right now, it looks like a huge IKEA instruction manual. Maybe I can help you with it.

    My website traffic going down by every weak

    Traffic can decline week after week for a number of different reasons. It could simply be an algorithmic drop in your website’s rankings because your competitors have started ranking higher. It could also be the result of an algorithmic penalty following a Google Core Update or Spam Update. In...
