Was thinking why I'm not getting _any_ Google traffic on my white as new sneakers website.

So much for unique content and blahblahblah. There's no question, just want to rant a bit. Thank you for your time.

For a new site, I think unique content is just the starting point. It also needs to be relevant and genuinely useful for the search intent.at the same time, we need to analyze what the competitors are doing their content, site structure, backlinks, topical coverage, and what google is already rewarding for those keywords.
A new site can have 100% original content and still get no traffic if it doesnt meet the search intent or compete with the quality and authority of the existing results. So I would look at the whole strategy rather than focusing only on unique content.

Sure, the problem was that I had a ton of generated pages (/us-isp-proxies, /fr-datacenter-proxies) which often were very similar. Google decided that I'm trying to fuck him, which is true to some degree, and yeeted me out of results. I suppose I have time before next spam update, so put noindex on "low-effort" pages and leave only those which differs a lot (review pages with a ton of text). Will see, still hurts though.
