Why did my Search Console impressions drop to zero after a spike?

I mean it doesn’t always deindex everything immediately.
Sometimes google still indexes pages, but the site doesn’t get trust or ranking. Indexing can stay, but visibility and performance are very low.

That’s what I wanted to say that being flagged, not instant full deindexing.

I get what you mean.

I think recovery is possible in some cases, but it depends on why it got flagged. have you checked GSC to see if there is any manual action?
If it’s a quality / content issue so improving the content and structure with some quality backlinks may help.

But if the footprint is strong, only backlinks usually won’t fix it

Honestly if you want to make money anytime soon just buy a new domain and start fresh. Using the removals tool in search console doesn't actually wipe the spam flag from google's database, it just temporarily hides the urls from showing up. i had a similar issue with a local directory site last year where i messed up the footprint on day one... wasted nearly three months waiting for it to recover and it never did. Especially in the escort niche where the spam filters are already cranked up to ten. @kidd666 save yourself the headache and register a clean domain, put it on a separate gsc account, and don't do the multi-domain doorway thing again. It's way faster to rank a new domain than trying to convince the bot you've cleaned up your act on a burned one.

yeah there is nothing in manual actions tab, I removed the duplicate content domains and left the first one only... used removals tool to deindex everyting from 2 other domains.
