core update

Google just started the May 2026 Core Update on May 21 and it is still rolling out. For those actively working on Casino, iGaming, or competitive niches, what are you seeing in your rankings so far? A few things i am wondering : 1. Which niches seem to be hit hardest in the early data? 2...

So today (27th March 2026) Google rolled out another Google Core update. https://status.search.google.com/incidents/7eTbAa2jWdToLkraZj5y Surprisingly, the previous spam update lasted only two days, but it seems it wasn’t entirely ineffective, as we can see a decrease of spam in SERPs in at...

Does anyone have experience reindexing Medium articles that dropped from index during Aug core update? I have a few "best *service* companies" (review content) articles that were ranking very high before Aug 2024 and then they dropped from index (even through they all have INDEX tag) during the...

I created a website in Feb 2024 and it was ranking well up till august update. 80 out of 140 pages were indexed and ranking well. I created no backlinks. But during August core update the whole site is de-indexed and only home page is indexed now. There are no penalities in google search...

Hey guys, I have an education-related website. It is doing Very Well. You can see my journey here. After the Google Core Update, suddenly, all my keyword ranking dropped from snippet to position 5-6, and Keywords ranked in 5-10 position, which goes to the 2nd page... Can anyone tell me how to...

Everyone in the SEO community is talking about how John Mueller's website is no longer listed in the Google Search results. It seems like it was deindexed and removed from Google completely. The question is why? Did he get a manual penalty? from march google spam update? What's your thought...

After the Google Core Update in March 2024, I have experienced different ranking matrixes; one website is growing and improving rankings, and the other is almost dead. There is not much difference between these websites, then what is the game? Google analyzing or rendering the SERP for always!

Hi everyone! Of 146 blog posts, 42 disappeared from Google between 05 and 18 October. I get no impressions and clicks on these articles. When I type site:URL, each post appears in Google. I do not have a penalty in the Search Console Fortunately, 4 of those recovered in 2-5 days to their...

The update was rolled out on 14th September; for me, I took a 20% hit. There was a spike two days ago, but it dropped again. My site doesn't use AI; of course, I often use ChatGPT for ideas, but I write my content myself. A theory, a big emphasis on "theory," that I have noticed (I'm assuming)...

I have seen lots of top competing sites basically delisted from serps since the core updated and I was determined to find out why. The information I have dissected has shown me that backlinks and on-page overall were not major influences. However, how you used your backlinks were the main...

There seems to be little to no conversation on this update, at least on this forum. Unlike previous updates, have you all given up already or none of your sites have been impacted so far? On my part, one of my performing & improving pages has gone from position 3 down to 5. Which apparently...

While most of us are barely recovering from the May Core Updates, the Big G's have rolled out another. Have you experienced anything?

This is crazy; it's either I didn't escape the May Core update or Google is running mad. I experienced series of drop yesterday, my traffic (for this journey) halved by 95%-- LOL See these screenshots. there are about 6 -9 other similar screenshots. Some others experienced it too from...

As everybody know this update is a disaster for many till now. But, its been a disaster for many big boys too and some are not that affected. Lets see who got what. 1. SE Round Table - Down From a Peak of 165000 and an average of around 160000 approx it is not at around 120000. A drop of...

Has anyone noticed that google has been mad? Its July 2021 core update hit the genuine websites and a pool of junk websites ranking much better with one or more than one pages on top 10 search results. Today I searched a query on google and found 2 pages of a websites ranking in top 10 search...

Somehow I don't see a thread on this topic which is pretty surprising, as this update has been absolutely massive even though it's not fully rolled out. Here is the official announcement: It will take 1-2 weeks to rollout, but in some European countries that I monitor it has been huge. IMO...

Question is already in the title. My site that was impacted keeps losing keywords more and more though some pages have stabilized at positions slightly lower than they were(still top 10). The rest are just losing keywords daily with little to no new gain in keywword. I'm wondering since...

Lately serp has been really weird this day and we know it because May Core update because some of the site i've working always high in traffic and after may 5 exactly it just go down to almost no impression. But i don't want to blame but instead i want to share a little bit about my trouble...
