Anyone Else have this issue? I checked Semrush sensor and it all seems "normal"
this site is 8 months old and was a "authority" in its niche, 140+ 100% original articles, also new articles used to be ranked fast with constant growth, also content was curated and updated regularly,

now from last night it is completely annihilated from the SERPS, even for really low volume low KD keywords where like only 2 other sites are talking about the problem to solve it is nowhere in SERPS, in some cases I can find the site on page 2 or 3 but for a different URL not related at all to the search intent, all pages are still indexed, no new links have been built in the last 30-40 days,
no manual action either in GSC,

anyone else have any similar issue? maybe google update in certain niche?
 
Today all KWS are back to where they were before...
very strange, I didn't do anything, 12 hours later they are all back, I hope they stick this time
 
This thing started with May 2022 update. I have 2 sites losing 80% positions since June 1st and never returning.

Glad yours came back within a day.

yeah google sucks big time, I have another site that is going down after every update, soon there will be nothing left of the thing
 
@kimomalcolmx "8 months" "authority in its niche" those two just don't go together. You need a lot more time to become an authority, but I am sure you are on the way there!
yeah it is true, but the other sites have much less quantity and quality content based, so I autrank most of them, at least after the bounce back, the strange thing is that I was still getting traffic from google for some KWS but when I searched for the KWS I was nowhere... now it is all back to "normal"

the strange thing is in SERPS yesterday was completely shuffled, old blogspot posts from 2017 with really weak content, foreign sites with 150 word content in the SERPS... never seen it like that before, then suddenly back to normal

How were you doing seo for the website? If the link quality were not that good, it might have got punished.
I did guest posts, business citations at the beginning, now I just do 2-3 guest posts per month max, I don't really need to do more as I rank quite easily for new KWS and old posts are getting more traffic, then I have social media channels, YouTube channel that sends 200-300 visits per day to the site, Subreddit, Pinterest and Facebook pages but not much from the last 2
 
The action can be because of the links you made before 40 days. Links can get time to get indexed and all.
