If there is an update then manage the expectation that we will have to wait until it is over to react. You don't start the repairs while the earthquake is still happening.
This! I hate reading it when people take a knee jerk reaction to it.
Curiously enough, GSC is suggesting that I had a dip on the 30th June and then bounced back on the 1st July.
I've had a look manually and a lot of the terms I was ranking in #1 or #2 for have slid all the way down to the bottom of page 1. At this point, I'm not overly concerned, it's still bringing in affiliate sales. I was a bit gutted though that one page in particular was ranking above The Sun, and now they've re-claimed their spot. Bandits!
Oh and I should have added that this site has 9 links in total pointing to it and it's well over a year old now.
It's information and review based, but it is about a topic that I know nearly as much about as my 9-5 job. It's a niche I've been involved in for 8 years now as a passionate hobby, and in hindsight I should have started a site based on it a long time ago.
As I've said elsewhere on here, the actual input and thoughts into a review or best of guide has to have authority behind them. There's a lot of shit reviews that have tanked because it's just a generic run down of the points on Amazon. I do wonder if this update is a further expansion of page speed and what not. I'll be looking at the site and seeing how the speeds are looking and after the dust settles in a few weeks, make the necessary changes.
