Another unconfirmed google update

I am seeing 50% less traffic today and I don't know what it is. I found this on seroundtable.

Looking forward to this for my own sites and also for some client websites.

I am not seeing big movements for my websites. Waiting for more responses from other BHW members.

6 of my websites got 40-60% less traffic yesterday october 13th too, and the positioning fell off too, from 7th on average to 20th
all of them from different niches and countries

Some saying it increases their traffic. I am still waiting for any movement. Everything seems normal

Not personally seeing anything I would consider beyond the normal daily fluctuations on any site. My one site that got killed last month looks like the week before.

It really feels frustrating now as I and a lot of IMs are working their ass off and we never see anything positive from Google.

With every update, the traffic reduces. I don't know whether Google will ever increase traffic. I feel lost now and I am depressed as hell.

I don't know if it is worth it to continue like this.

to me no change at all .

I have a few pages that are ranked in position 1, and it fucking dropped all the way to position 106, I'm pissed off big time.

I got a big boost when the core update finished a week or two ago and yesterday was the first day since that traffic took a hit. Google is definitely up to something.

It might be one of those "tester" updates that Google frequently uses on a small sample of their database.

It sucks to be the guinea pig of such algorithm micro tests, but it is what it is.

The good news is if you are the subject of such a test, there's a good chance your traffic will recover because it's just a test.

But other times, Google has to tweak or correlate data because their initial algorithm settings might not be up to snuff.

At worst, consider this as a taste test of dark days to come.

At best, use this experience to better prepare yourself for what lies ahead.

Maybe you should interlink your content better, maybe you should revisit your content quality guidelines when it comes to new stuff that you will be publishing.

Whatever the case may be, this may be a blessing disguised as a challenge.
