"I have since learned what the update actually was. I would offer to share with you, but you're clearly pretty pissed, when really there's no reason to be " This right there, is exactly my point. This is very demeaning. If people share data with you, most of them expect you to treat that with...

Didn't you post before asking people for websites to do an analysis? You said you would get back to people on these sites with your findings. I shared some websites too, and I don't even want to be salty about it. I did my own analysis on my own data just fine. Heard jack-shit back from you...

90% sure that the update already happened. And traffic REACHED new lows. Seriously What The Fuck? All my BH sites are doing fine but my WH ones are not? Just to get hit EACH update?

When it's no longer an active issue? Being that it's so active, clearly shows it's an ACTIVE issue. I know 1+1=2. Still no major recovery on my end, the sites that are doing well are still doing well. Site that are doing poorly are doing poorly. Mind you most of these are in the European...

True, but from my understanding he runs a manages of websites. And this is the first case I heard since May of someone recovering.

Wait the websites you managed recovered to pre-May rankings? I haven't notice anything on my end, hell I'd even say it has gotten worse. Anything specific you guys did?

I can't believe it, after 3 months of blood sweat and tears I got the page back to position 3! ( it dropped from 1 all the way to 15). Just to log back in today to see it dropped from 3 to 5 to 3 to 9. I need to switch careers.

Seen a difference in income? I mean with such a huge jump that is your best clue if it's not bots.

It's definitely not that, as the pages return to they're original position when I recrawl them on webmastertools. Well 4/5 did.

Surely I am not the only one seeing pages randomly vanish from the serps and only after manually inspecting them having them re-appear right? Seen this on 5 different sites now, surely this is a bug no?

Google also says that backlinks aren't a major ranking factor. Even though any statistical analysis done on terms ranking shows it does. So let's not use "what google says" as anything that other then bull****. The reality of the matter is that 1 year ago, bigger content tended to rank better...

Debunks? What the f*** does that mean? It was Google themselves that started that bullshit in the first place. Same goes for when they said SSL was a ranking factor => To backtrack it to it's only a slight factor. Honestly that whole channel is disgusting when it comes to information."content...

I feel like you guys seem to not understand what people actually mean with SPEED being a ranking factor. Load speed of a website is directly connected to how many people will leave your website out of frustration. How many times have you during a Google search just backed out the website you...

Same patterns for the websites that I own that got hit. Going up down sideways when I didn't make any changes. One article I did make adjustments one did actually recover, however I tried the same strategy on another article with no success.

Big firms and agencies who's clients got hit by this update clearly will rejoice at the news that the solution to this massive update was the very thing every top 10 basic shitty SEO recommends.
