Post Your May 2020 Core Update SERP Movements

Not sure why but my traffic's up on where it was, between 70-100%.



My going theory is that the idea of an 'update' is misleading... It's a complete reset. That allows smaller sites like mine which have good content to push up the rankings.





I'm sure that in future updates I'll be pushed down rather than up, but I'm especially happy as this is in a niche where a lot of people tanked.

No changes for me in .de travel and events niche. Either the update was not there yet, or it has completely passed by my pages.

My organic search traffic goes like:
May 5-6: Gradually decreasing.
May 7-8: Constant
May 9-10(weekend): Decreasing (its a B2B website so the traffic is less during weekends anyways)
May 10-11: Increase
May 11-12: Decrease

Didn't see and nor do i wish to see any abrupt changes. The keyword count it 500+, so currently i don't have the up to date rankings but i will post the average movement for sure.

Seems to me like though the traffic hasn't been affected much, the demographics of the visitors seem really different than usual because its really rare that i see a reduction in the no. of leads during weekdays but I'm going through such a situation right now.

indexing still has issues.. even inspect url from console doesn't help at all..

As we know, Google has released a new core algo update named: May 2020 Algo Update.

So far I see my website has been going up and a bunch of KWs got ranked in top 50 and others are moving up as well...

It will take around 1-2 weeks to see results as saying anything now will be very quick.

I'm in a Pets niche with 100+ articles with each article having 1K+ words.

Everyone is whining while my splogs keep ranking higher lol!

Maybe garbage content is king as well!
