Did this update basically wipe out affiliate sites?
Depends on I think ux on your both the websites.What the heck i had 2 sites and the content is almost the same but one ranks so good and another is shit....
404 May be indicating you that your file is not available in the server side.404 even after i
What have you done to start seeing improvements?Seeing some improvements, what about you guys ??
It's nothing personal, they are just doing their job. Nevertheless, the last core update wasn't their finest hour and I doubt users are happy with it, too. E.g. travel is now even more infested by huge intermediaries with very limited value while real results like hotels dropped heavily. Same in other niches.those f#cking guys in google web spam team. Hope they will suffer, especially its head.
Apologies if this has already been asked - but has anyone else noticed an unusually high amount of crawl errors being reported in WM tools since the update?
Typically for my site I'd have 200 or so a week to redirect, no biggy (ecommerce site), then two days ago WM reports 1500 crawl errors.. crazy high. I redirect all of them, all good until today when I get an email from Google advising of an 'unusually high amount of 404 errors', I check again and there's another 1100 crawl errors.
I inspected the majority of them and they were legit 404's, I'm just curious why it's finding them on such a mass now, maybe the update is causing the crawl to delve deeper?
