Is Google Shitting On My Website?

Damn, I looked and I got only 60k indexed on site:yourdomain.com even though GSC says 120k and my traffic is only 280 per day. But the part that sucks is it's mostly international traffic so my CPM on display ads is like $2.40

I guess give it some time, while work on some new sites, maybe one of them will explode later.

this can be one of 2 things, (and probably a combination of both):
1. one-time backlinks isn't enough; you must keep on adding new backlinks constantly.
2. de-indexing mostly means non quality / duplicate content. which ai content generator are you using? do you check your content for plagiarism?

It's mainly for the impact of updates. Make sure the information you are given should be valid and accurate, either referring to a place or a website or where and how to buy, even it suits well for professional services too.

As said, we cannot change the game of what happened but keep motivated and bring more fortunes with accuracy.

to be honest I wouldn’t read my own articles so why should i expect other people to

Here you answered your own question.

I see the main culprit here is your content. Don't assume that because it is a non-plagiarized unique content it will not get penalized. It might be a meaningless shoddy content (as evident by the reader who took efforts to email you about the quality of your content).

You said that you don't want it to be a churn and burn project so looks like you are serious about it. So I strongly believe that building backlinks will also not help you unless you re-work on the content. Now since there are millions of shoddy articles it is a challenge how to revamp all those in short time!

So the good idea will be to start a new project altogether.

I appreciate it man, I was surprised i got it up to 1 million posts, but yea I think the quality was shit. I also thought of embedding yt videos on the posts to increase dwell time on my articles, but what I also thought is this, since google wants YouTube to rank higher in the Serps (because I feel like they want to keep all traffic in the google ecosystem) why would I make that shit easier for them by fucking embedding someone else's video on my post. I feel like it's giving them the bamboo stick to hit me with it. But the funny part is, the content was so shit, someone emailed my contact page complaining about how shitty my content was View attachment 229106 about the 'quality' of my page.

Well at least you can laugh about it and move on. YT videos gathered up by their API does serve one purpose though for me, as I stated- if you use it to research a niche, find certain successful channels, educate yourself on the buzzwords, filter videos by view count, etc. it can be a tool. But just use it for research on a throw away domain and you can populate it fast, then invest some time to watch the videos, look at generated subtitles and transcripts- there used to be a transcript creator I used in Linux to do that- but it stopped working and I never went after it anymore. That's one way of getting free content too, is to spin MANUALLY the VERBAL content- not with some synonym creator do-dad thing. I am sure there are others here doing that. Creating good content is time consuming, and as I have read in YCombinator news this whatever version xxxx-3 isn't the greatest AI creator.

Gxxgle isn't your friend, and it's going to get more difficult for gaming the algo/system once more AI tools are implemented on their back end- imho. Look what they are doing with real news. They are burying real stories- just saw an example of that about the Brussels protests. No results, yet on Twitter ton's of direct video evidence.
