this a quick question, I know not all survived but some should, and if possible, can you tell what niche you're on? i'll start first, i have 20 adult sites which all got banned under the core update, all had the same content anyways, i have around 30 sites that are in safe niche but around 5 of them lost traffic after the update, I've tried going back with 3 adult sites completely different articles and scraped videos but still lost its traffic after a week of climbing the serp, who has a different experience?

Was it AI content? How old were the websites?
 
Alive but hanging by a thread

Seriously though, still no improvement only sideways movement, I'll see
 
I never put AI content on clients websites; they're performing as expected. I'm thinking about testing humanized content on a personal website, but I think humanized content is just spinning it with AI.
 
I am.
Still D.R.E!
This is only from chatgpt, straight outta Compton, I mean straight copy paste.

Have you tried to recover the sites? We also had this problem with our customers but successfully recovered after auditing all content on the sites, cleaning bl profile and getting rid of AI/Duplicate content.
 
While the rankings of my manual content site did not drop

But my traffic became less

Is this normal?

How long did it take for the reversal from Google?

March update happens, for the next month while we where making updates and changes rankings where super volatile, up and down everyday. After we completed all edits we thought we had to make based off of what the update said within a week we got back 90% of our rankings in positions they where with 1-2 difference. In this scenario we had lost 300 keywords that we where ranking top 3 for over 10 years so you have a better understanding of the situation.
 
Alive and growing... Part AI part human...

Insta cannot tell you niche but I must tell you that some of my sites which are well agee have survived.
 
Non-English working, tried many English and non-english sites, and in many niches. Comes out that only non-english is currently working with chatgpt content, and that also in certain niches.

German site 7 days old - new domain

nope, it's a lot of sites, they were spammy anyways, putting these sites up is a hobby of mine not something I want to tackle on 24/7
