It's finally here! Hooray! Not sure if I'm missing something, though... Is it possible to EXCLUDE groups of pages/queries with regex on GSC, or only include them?

I figured this was the case, but just wanted to check what other people thought, thanks! :)

Obviously we've all heard about how important it is to improve EAT. My question is: do we think Google's smart enough to judge it on a page-by-page basis, or is it judged on a site-by-site basis? For example, say there was a page on a medical topic, with the best EAT in the world: written by...

Hi guys, I guess we all know that GA reporting can give different values when you look at different date ranges? But it's just silly today; if Iook at organic users yesterday, it varies by up to a quarter depending on the date range I use (i.e. if I look at just Feb, users yesterday is just 3/4...

Slammed in May (-50%) Did a bit of work around content / structure / speed (much more work to go, though!) and got some excellent white hat links (no SEO effort; they just decided to link to us) Partial recovery on 4th Dec Recovery holding so far (+42% WoW) *crosses all the appendages*

Got slammed in May, seeing partial recovery now. In the interim, we got some powerful links (WH - we didn't even realise they were there for a while), did a bit of work on content/structure and some minor page speed stuff. But who knows if any of that helped? Could just be the rollercoaster...

Never mind - dev team deployed something without telling anyone *facepalm*

Sudden massive drop here in the past hour on GA real-time. Hoping some kind of GA glitch?

Just thinking: we haven't had a confirmed update since head of Google search changed, have we? I'm kind of starting to wonder if Prabhakar wants to take things in a new direction, and not announce core updates? Or of course, Google could just be broken / scared of lawsuits / waiting till after...

If this goes on much longer, SEMrush & co are going to have to change their SERP tracking thresholds; high is the new normal?

(is it normal for coverage report to be that delayed, btw? I haven't used it that much)

Looks like it's all indexing issues. Top organic page for one site, ranking top 3 since May, suddenly not in the index at all (no changes made on site). Can't tell how many pages affected because Search Console coverage report giving no data since 22nd. Google = broken.

SEMrush 8.1 in US now - surely this must be it? Brace yourselves / cross all your appendages!

SEMrush showing 7.2 in UK now

Haha! Can see why you'd be suspicious, but no. I've been following this thread since the May 4th clusterfuck, but never had anything to contribute before (besides: Arg! I hate you, Google! Wtf is going on?! - which I didn't feel would add much to the debate)

May I add - I wouldn't even know about this forum were it not for RB posting it as a source, so thank you Rusty!
