For most markets traffic increase right after Christmas, if you've been around long enough you can look up your historical data to see if that's the case. Mine usually increases by 30%-40%. This year is exceptionally good, Friday 100% increase in traffic compared to previous Friday, and today(Saturday) 90% increase. Couldn't ask for better after Christmas gift :-) Another explanation might be that your ranking for longtail keywords that you don't track has improved.
 
Last seven days only 50 visitors per day. Today in the morning i have some traffic peaks like "before the update". It is now in germany 8.45 AM at this time the visitor count from yesterday is already broken. (now 52 unique visitors).
But the bounce rate is 80%. Before the update i have got a bounce rate of 39%. There is something ongoing.

90% sure that is just the rise in traffic after Christmas. See it every year on most of my websites, and it's usually around 40%.
 
Anyone seeing positive changes in traffic? Christmas time?
 
Traffic was up a bit yesterday, but might be because of xmas time or because it was sunday. No idea. What I can see from tracking 200 keywords for around 30 different websites is that there is still a big "google dance" going on.

Today same shit rankings.
 
I am really wondering if this update is not related to website design... Or monetisation type. For my part, 2 websites had sudden 2/3 drop of traffic on the 17th december.... no recovery so far

Touched websites for my part had:
  • the same wordpress theme, really minimalist
  • no logo
  • Are monetized with amazon affiliate: but all link were encode in 64base exept those in sidebar which are nofollow.
  • Basically "best of ...." page site
  • No RGPD
  • Tech niche
  • Based on expired domain (not fully relevent to actual niche)

Does anyone feel the same ?
It really messed up with christmas :(

Google seems to be doing an overhaul recently. We managed to fix it with a change of tactics, focusing heavily on both SEO and using resources like IGReviewhub to supplement the drop in traffic. It's been working pretty well so far.
 
Also I notified that:
-Amazon seem to have a large drop in november (but it s surely not related)
-Wikipedia didn't grow it s traffic so much in december

Does someone found hudge drop with some authority website ?
Can't run so much semrush :/

Where did you get your data from? Amazon gained 65 million more search traffic in Nov and 31 million in Dec.
 
Well I may checked amazon.fr

(forgot to mentionned it and I can t run other semrush for today to confirm :/)

Yes, but you should compare an ecommerce giant like Amazon on Q4. Its normal their traffic skyrocket in November and December. End of Januar and February you'll see a huge decrease again
 
I think about bad backlinks with spam anchor text and low quality links
