Are you noticing Google Algorithm Update?

Nope, It was a brand new domain that was registered at the first go, No redirection or nothing like that. The Site is 10 months old. Legitimate one.
Damn! 0 to 40k organic visitors in months :eek:. I'm not serious. How many words /articles do you have there?
 
My websites are acting weird. One time it shows on 3rd position the other time it shows on 18th. This is happening from last 3 days now. Anyone else experiencing the same?


Yes, this is happening to me with one of my big keywords one minute I am in the results then on the next server when I refresh I am not if I am in for the plural of the word I am not in for the opposite. It's been going on for a while for me. It is really annoying and some would say it is the google dance but I really don't know if it is. What I am noticing without a doubt though is more authoritative sites are pushing their way up, I hope it is not going to stay like that and it is still running the update.
 
One of my websites had a fifty percent decrease, another 30% and one wasnt affected at all.
 
I've noticed that keywords that rank in the top 20 in SERPs didn't budge with this update but anything 20+ lost a lot of spots (they are starting to slowly recover). All my keywords are long tail btw.
 
Here are my 2 cents on what I felt happened

Google launched BERT update

NYT Got hit badly

To rectify instead of reversing BERT update, Google tweaks Algo to give more weightage to Domain Authority as compared to relevance

Result: Big Authority domains get a huge boost and Less Authority but Focussed Niche sites get dumped

Lifewire is an authority site, they lost over 3M - so i do not see this theory holding up.
 
Sites are going down and down, is there anyone who have seen some "recovery" after hitting by this update ?

Yep, they are down big time. I do monitor it on daily basis. Lifewire is giving me confidence that i am not alone. LOL
 
makeuseof.com (down 2M)
lifewire.com (down 2M)
inc.com (down 2M)

I can't make any sense what this update has targeted other than guessing that someone at Google gave far too much value to a specific signal which is to value previously under rated sites reason being.

Actually Lifewire and inc are not affected by the recent update, how did you find that false info. In fact, inc gains more traffic from this update.
 
Just Google being Google...releasing updates without any explanation. The 10th times this year? It becomes a real tragedy

Over Million Keywords lost on Lifewire from 25th Feb till date, do you need more proof?

lifewire.com was definitely hit in this update. INC.com, not as far as I can see.
 
Guys, before talk be sure of what you write.
NYT, inc and lifewire were NOT penalized by updates.
Reason is only political.
From G. insider

NYT was not caught up in Bert. When big updates happen, it's an opportunity for us to manually ding big sites. This one was purely political.
 
I have for sure, now some searches are dating from more recently as well, instead of things from years ago.

Quite a well update IMO
