Google November 2021 Core Update: Winners, Losers & Analysis

Google announced on November 17, 2021 that it would be launching the November Core Update, as it does several times per year. As with most core updates of the past several years, the only guidance Google provided webmasters was their 2019 article, “What Site Owners Should Know About Core Updates.” The article provides an extensive overview of how Google evaluates content quality and E-A-T, both of which play an important role in website performance during core updates.

I didnt see any changes in my site.

2 of my main pages consisting of 90% traffic, disappeared overnight.

Glad Google finally fixed their shit with Pinterest if the research on that article is accurate.

Can't see it as a permanent fix, among the losers is forbes, reuters, nature.com and cdc.gov .. it seems that they screwed up again..

what is the negative impact of this core update on sites?

got totally fucked, -30% traffic from organic.. why they did this over a holiday week/weekend, total bullshit

so I worked on the CTA's across the site (100% organic search traffic site), almost 2x conv rate, while traffic down like 30-40%

so overall this site is 'up' but still,, fuckin G.. worse than zuck lol

My hosting moved my account around November 30th which meant it caused big problems my main site which uses free cloudflare and Ezoic. My head was fucking fried trying to get it fixed. Since Nov 30th to today my traffic has nose dived about 80%. I don't login to BHW as much and honestly I'm relieved to see this core update as maybe that has something to do with it.

I guess I can just cross my fingers that my site will recover, but I'm really annoyed at my hosting. If it ain't broke don't fix it. My site was doing fine, and then a huge problem gets thrown onto me which was not my decision.

I'll look at it all again in the new year. But I'm shocked at the drop in traffic, my site is very white hat.
The same site got hit my the May 21 update, traffic dropped by around 33% for about 4 weeks, but then it absolutely rocketted after that, roughly doubling even though I hadn't added any new content.

Just have to wait and pray for something similar.
