A small tweak did it for me. It all started on july 25th. The site was almost dying having lost 1/4th of its traffic in. It immediately recovered after the changes were done and the traffic is at an all-time high now

What was the tweak? Care to share?

Very useful. People's theories, as always, are all over the place on these without anyone providing any convicinving evidence to me as to what was sepcifically targeted. Though I believe, long, quality content was less affected than all other sites.

Strange. I'm mostly seeing smaller niche sites with 500 - 1k words of content overtaking authority sites with 5k+ words of content.

Also, there's this other thread where another bhw member thinks it may be the Yoast plugin possibly causing or exacerbating the issue. There's a plugin patch I linked to for those that haven't fixed this problem on their site: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/h...nal-seo-possible-issue-no-guarantees.1049880/

It is amusing, seeing all these so called authority sites, spouting the same 'here's what we know' 'facts' but all rewritten with a few of their own screenshots.

EAT - maybe this has affected some of the medical sites, but then how precisely would Google go about EAT? potentially they could use the author name like brand mentions, and the more mentions, in the right places and the higher EAT score they get, but how can they validate qualifications? they cant without manual human intervention.

Google is just a bunch of algorithms, and they are in my opinion looking more at domain age and content age than previously.

@TurboCharge
interested to know if you noticed improvement by removing those backlinks that you mentioned

Chamdi · Aug 16, 2018

Can anyone confirm if they are using the review plugins? My stats show me articles with review plugins being affected negatively. Those without review plugin got higher rankings.

What's with the arrogant attitude? Compensating for something?

I’m not sure what you are trying to imply, but I asked my question because it is newbies wanting to eat out of peoples hand.

Members on this forum aren’t going to share extremely relevant information with you on how they fixed their sites. Every man and his dog will be using it, then the method goes cold.

Yeah, but your previous post were mocking as well and it was nothing to do with "eat out of peoples hand".

I've seen huge sites and small sites, newbies and veterans crashing because of this update. And there you are, mocking and making fun of people.

Don't get me wrong, two of my sites lost a lot of traffic - but that's life. So I am not offended by you. But I find it rather sad to see that someone has such bad self-esteem to actually go into a thread like this to boost his ego. That's why I asked if you are compensating for something, since you come as a person who has been bullied or lacks in certain parts of his life.

If you are a youth, then I apologize and understand. If you are an adult - fix up!
