December Core 2020 Update: How did it affect you ?

Some sites got f1sted hard, some sites got an insane boost. As always. My most BH site got a 3x boost while WH sites got their anuses busted. Nicely done Google, but how about a dinner and a kiss first, next time? And some Vaseline.

Google loves to shuffle sites around so people give up on SEO and move over to PPC. Change my mind.
 
No changes across the board for me, none worth mentioning anyway.

saw a major boost in traffic today. My site is WH and I barely build links
 
Some basically bended over and got rekt, not surprised, was a expected result there
Others are doing alot better than i thought
 
kinda funny on every update people complaining about how whitehat sites lose ranking and blackhat sites do fine, yet inbetween those updates these people all claim "you cant use spun content / low quality backlinks hurt your site / you will get a penalty for doing X / <insert more bs here>" .. :D
 
My site dropped in rankings. My grey hat competitor’s site dropped in rankings.

What about my competitor with 40,000 spam Japanese backlinks?

He’s doing fantastic!
The one that recently recovered or the new one?
 
20 - 30% traffic drop (will need a few days to evaluate). But definitely some SERPs drops visible across the board.

WH site, big auction domain, 0 link building done, site age 8 - 9 months. No keyword stuffing.

Site had a few "Google ehmagerd core vitals errors" in GSC, which I have fixed yesterday. Only thing that comes to mind. They did bitch that their core vitals will be a factor in 2020, so who knows.
 
Nothing really, another day of some up and some down.
 
Ranked for some nice keywords I didn't normally rank for today.
AHREFS was quick enough to pick up the rank changes.
Yet, somehow I already lost those rankings.

I think this update is gonna need more time.
 
My website faced a slight downfall of U.S traffic but i think its temporary, lets hope for good.
 
Till date no changes on any of the site but will wait for some days.. what actually update is all about...
 
Till now no changes on traffic but some keyword start to rank up
