Several of my sites have ended up in a kind of google dance. Is there a Christmas update being rolled out or what could be going on here?

There was a couple of updates in the last couple of months and your website got hit/recovered from these,
You can always check for the official updates here:

Ofc, these are only the declared core updates,
Google algo is updating a shit ton of stuff more frequently nowadays, you could expect to get hit anytime for any random reason

I think that might be a dance but sometimes it doesn't end well as I have always seen a significant dip in traffic after a few days once the dance starts.
 
It looks like there was a Google update this week. One of my sites that was ranking in top 10 sites has suddenly lost all its traffic. I wonder what the penalty is about.

My content was not very helpful and low quality backlinks. And do see a pattern across multiple sites so does indeed seem to be an update. Was your content helpful? Or do you have no idea what it could be?

Google seems to be on vacation mode at the moment, but keep an eye out for a new update expected in early 2024!
 
I'm seeing one hell of a dance just now. The rankings for my sites are up and down like a hookers knickers.
 
What kind of shady black hat methods are you using to get 19% CTR? Are you doing any CTR manipulation?

It's hard to say what's going on, you clearly got a boost in the september update but these 1 day dips to 0 and then back again I've never seen before. Did you accidentally deactivate a plugin that holds the tag for Google search console on these days? Not sure why people say you've been hit and recovered, that wouldn't happen so fast, twice. Looks like your clicks are trending ever so slightly downwards also.

I don't do ctr manipulation. This niche has a high ctr by itself. Many people click on all the pages it seems.

Past updates have been most positive for this site. By now this site is also back to normal. Other domain names with the same concept have not all recovered.

No plugins removed, no new backlinks, no new content for 16 months. No server problems encountered.
 
Same thing happening on a micro niche site. Someday it shoots up to new levels then falls worse than before.

My site lost top rank last week, but it's higher than before. I think is same to you.
 
Yes Be patient. Yesterday was sky high here. Google can be very strange sometime :/
