took me like 15min to find his real name and im 100% sure of it im sure the people who lost their money are already on his ass lmao for a guy who pretended to be such a genius he left so many breadcrumbs

disagree with the prevention part, that's exactly what I thought when people were getting destroyed left & right during May update and my site came away unscathed, then I got humbled in the HCU & spam updates consider yourself lucky for not getting hit so far unless your sites are older than a...

meh, is there any reason to trust anything Google says? my site got hit in the product update with 0 affiliate links and 0 product-related/affiliate content, it's all a sham

I don't have first hand experience about recovery as the HCU (and PRU) were the practically the first time I got hit, but I've seen many sites that I've been tracking that recovered / is recovering from previous updates. For instance, this one site lost 15000 keywords in the top10 only in...

same same down 30-40% in the HCU, recover roughly half on the first day of core, now back to the HCU levels once again today don't even have any reviews or aff links, full info & ads from what it looks like almost every competitor in my niche (not ymyl) with a site newer than 2y old got hit...

traffic is going down again, but rankings aren't i even got my snippets back, not sure what's happening anymore anyone experiencing similar?

looks like we re having the same experience again won a considerable bunch of keywords back that i lost during HCU (out of the ones im tracking in serprobot at least, hoping that it also reflects to the untracked long tails) neither my positions nor my traffic are still nowhere close to...

can't wait to lose another 40% of my traffic

yep that seems to be the common theme also losing to some higher authority sites that are only indirectly targeting the KW (not in H1) that i was beating before due to having higher relevance

exactly the same here win vs reddit/forums for some KWs, lose for others lost positions on KWs that have been ranking #1 with no fluctuations for a year against some rando sites i ve never seen before, pretty sure some are even abandoned

250-300 no link building looks like i've lost around only 10-20 top10 positions (out of tracked KWs), so my stuff are mainly pushed further down in the first page i'm assuming, including many of the #1 positions big drop in impressions in GSC though, might ve completely lost a lot of side...

around 100k PV/month i don't have high hopes, seen a lot of sites getting crushed for no reason lately

nope most of my keywords are 0 comp, there were absolutely no information about them on the SERPs except some crumbs on reddit and forums now im getting outranked by reddit/forums, or higher authority sites that aren't directly targeting the KW

same here, 100% self-written and original content, down 40% and counting. getting outranked by scraper sites and some pages that don't even exist (they either 404 or similar) probably lost 70-80 top3 positions so far

Did you submit your site to the Bing Webmaster Tool at all? I'm using a similar approach and as soon as I submitted my site, it got banned from Bing. Not sure if it's a coincidence though.

Thanks for the answers :) I can get 50GB data/month on quite a bargain (~$10), will give it a shot with that and see how it goes.

Great journey! Been reading all of the threads and I must say I am quite fascinated about the fingerprinting (the part where you can reduce the chance of getting a harder captcha by injecting cookies that have a history) aspect as a developer who works in the advertising field. I have two...

Ezoic absolutely destroys AdSense in terms of CPM and hence revenue dude, and AdSense bans happen right before payment most of the time.

Hey guys, I had an AdSense account that got banned roughly 9 years ago due to click fraud. I haven't really touched anything AdSense-related ever since until I started a blog recently. I applied to AdSense with a fresh e-mail, fresh computer, fresh ISP, etc. (things changed in 9 years...
