I've just had a look at one of my niches and I've went from #8 to #46. No links have been built to that page by me. The links that have been built are ones that other sites have mentioned me in. These sites aren't spammy ones.
In my sites place for that keyword, there's a top ten page with Amazon links and a photo. That's it. Content update my arse.

Not wasting at all. I always make good ROI when I buy links, even with this specific site as my monthly income tripled. It was just funny that the links started taking affect just as a new update rolled out. The site is still making more than it was before the update, thanks to the links (as not all keywords dropped).
Well there's too many factors in play here. You'd need a lot more sites competing for the same keyword to do a good test. I do have 4 sites ranking in this exact niche, so I might be able to do case studies in the future (I've thought about it).

My main moneysite just tanked from page 1 to page 7.
I was wondering why for last few hours in my bed, checking everything. No any manual actions or security issues. Then got up, started my PC, went here and saw this thread.
Now I know why. F**king update

As always update did good for me
Not bad mate, got any pearls of wisdom you could share on how to avoid being affected by the update?

Not much happening internationally so far on my side it seems.

I also fell in the rating, now I need to look deeper and remove the errors again. I just read that Google released an update https://www.seoquake.com/blog/google-core-algorithm-update-may-2020/ , they say that changing the rating is quite normal.

They obviously make more ad $ if someone clicks a video instead of a search result, even if the search result includes AdSense. I wouldn't be surprised if Google started penalizing all sites NOT using AdSense at this point...
Same. Their YouTube algorithm already does this to some extent I think. Non-monetized videos are much less likely to get recommended.

I thought non-monetized videos still have ads? Just that the content creator doesn't get any money for them. If it's still like that, it should rather be the other way around.
