Learned that removing content using request removal of content tool on GSC could speed up trust recovery process so that is what I've done, seeing positive movements taking place already

Everything is set up, all URLs are properly 301'd, yet it's been a month and ranks aren't back to a positive momentum.

Absolutely. It is an old site, 4-5 years old. I changed the URL structure last time back in November 2024. Changed again April 27 2025 (last month) and then again May 2 2025. So two changes in relatively short time span. At first it was no big deal but then the newest URL structure was indexed...

I've checked and from the moment I made the changes, the redirects are perfect. I just realize it's caused a trust issue for the site, because it was moving up with the old URLs, then the new URLs were indexed at a lower rank. To this day (it's been about 2-3 weeks) the old URLs are still...

I think the site was penalized in trust because of this. I changed the site structure from /companies/insurance/home-insurance/ to /company/insurance/home-insurance/ to /insurance/home-insurance/. Currently, all structures are indexed. When I search for a page, sometimes I get the newest two...

LLMs and search engines offer two different services and as long as there are online services, people (and LLMs) will want to search the web to find them. LLMs will replace informational queries and may even replace search engines but they won't kill commercial queries. Not until they completely...

I made big, significant changes to the entire site since March 22nd. I think there hasn't been a core update since that time to reflect those changes but I did see a 2x in traffic value since then. I am still nowhere near my previous high (additional 2x in traffic value), when my website was in...

Has anyone recovered from such a penalty and if so, how long, ballpark, does it take to recover from such a penalty? Lets say your website was severely penalized back in August of last year for having thin content. You realize the problem this year on the 22nd of March, and you fix the entire...

After all this and clicks are still down another 20%. Google either hates my domain, despite years of activity, or I just absolutely suck at this. In every metric, my website beats the competitors by a large margin, on and off page and more importantly, the website beats itself from March by a...

As of three days ago, outgoing clicks crashed an additional 50%. Since starting this thread, they went from an average of 80/day to 200+/day (300 at the most), then crashed to 100 and as of today, they are at 60, maybe they will finish at 100 after all by the end of the day. Demoralizing. I...

Absolutely. The definition of "fluff" today, I would say, is information you could easily get from ChatGPT. There is not much uniqueness you could add to "What is a home insurance?", but you definitely appear to need it to cover the topic of "Home insurance" completely. I conclude each filler...

Absolutely, but filler content is still evidently necessary. It is, with hindsight obviously, a requirement to cover a subject fully.

$15k today. :suspicious: I'll be quiet from now on – will see where it goes.

Traffic value jumped up to $14,1k as of two days ago (from $12k)

Haha, I guess. I've done so many changes and made so many improvements, I'm thinking if they work (or fail), it'd be interesting to have documented the process. Chart update (since May 7, stagnant – bump on February was due to the removal of some keywords).
