Furthermore, I have noticed a significant decrease in traffic on several websites that were performing well before and after the update. Although these sites are still indexed in Google searches, I am unsure how to increase their traffic. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

most algo penalties can be lifted, even some manual ones... Just don't ask me how because I've never done it. All I know is that it can be done, so don't lose hope


which update would that be? There have been 2 updates in March and one of them is still going, and if you've been affected by this update there's a chance you'll regain your rankings and traffic when it completes. It does happen with some of these updates, so I wouldn't touch anything until the dust settles...

If you're talking about other (older) update well, I guess you'll have to check what the update broke and fix it

Here's a list of all of the known updates of the last several years, cross-reference these updates with the dates your sites tanked and see if you can spot the issue:

As for increasing traffic, once you've fixed the issues, the traffic should be regained automatically within a week or two. If not, you can publish more content, build more links, optimize existing content that doesn't yet rank highly, etc... the usual and boring stuff...

I know that I've only given you broad and generic advice, but that's because I don't know the exact situation of your sites (niche + keywords, content type and quality, backlinking profile, competitors, etc). But it's usually either a content issue, or a backlinking issue, so you need to start with these 2...

And if you want / need more in-depth advice you can hire someone through HAF forum to look into your situation, or wait here for more free (and most likely still not good enough) replies

I sense sarcasm in your reply, but I was actually being honest. Fixing penalties does usually come down to tweaking things or building more links

Anyway, good luck figuring it out!
