As of now, Any rankings you see shouldn't be permanent. I assume, We are seeing Google Dance at the moment.
There is possibility that we might bounce up or maybe bounce and get better positions then before.. Wait for at least 1-2 weeks..
It can take 2 weeks to see final result.

I'm seeing pages being shuffled like cards every hour in the SERP of my main keyword (high vol) for one of my websites.
But the top two spots are firmly taken by two affiliate sites with very short articles, tons of PBN links with exact anchor texts (which they don't even bother to hide from Ahrefs), and the content looks like it was written by Google Translate or badly spun (I mean, really badly spun!!!), along with grammar and spelling mistakes in every sentence, WTF? And these sites had been on the top 2 spots long before the update. They are outranking major authority and huge media websites.
Again, my site and several auth sites are being shuffled every hour, but these two aff sites are staying on the top two spots.
Does this algo update encourage PBNs? And looks like in reality Google doesn't give a shit about content.

some improvements but need to wait minimum 2 to 3 weeks to see the real effect.

Google has placed Wikipedia and other non related sites on Top 3 for many of my KWs LOL!
I'm using some good PBNs and lets see in a week how it goes as so far Googy is fxking up with me very bad.
Woahh!! Lucky you! Maybe you did something good in the last and google now lives you.
What improvements you see? I've an authority site with nice metrics and every page has good content with 1K+ words. Still Googy thinks I'm not worthy.
Thank god Google did not made Avengers else they would have made Thanos worthy of hammer and would have penalized Thor for staying FAT -_-

It's very strange ya know, on Analytics all the extra traffic is definietly showing as organic. However Webmaster tools is not showing a huge jump in additional clicks. It's making me wonder if its actual search traffic from another search engine?

You should be able to breakdown organic traffic in analytics and find out which search engines they are from, whereas your data from search console will be exclusively google so if you can't see any increase in clicks there then it must be from a different search engine.

Do you know how I'd do that? When I try to breakdown the organic traffic by keyword, 99% of it is showing as "(not provided") and I can't seem to get any other details on where its coming from.

Yesterday I noticed all RED marks and most of my KWs went out of the top 100 pages of google.
Today I see some greens. Not HUGE but little green is better than reds -_-

This is how I do it:

Sadly my sites lost a bunch of kw after this update, but as others said, I'll wait minimum 1-2 weeks before panicking.
Mostly affected my medical sites, one of them lost 50% of traffic...

I've lost like 60% of traffic as of now...
I've disabled Ezoic for now and plan to activate it back after 1 week once everything stabilizes. Thinking to remove all kind of ads and just have plain content on webpage.
