I saw this most recent post on X, which looks like there was a little bump up at least. It doesn't sound like it's much for them to celebrate over. She definitely has the right mindset as to not get any hopes up yet. <a href="https://x.com/CharlestonCraft/status/1944955455727657348">https://x.com/CharlestonCraft/status/1944955455727657348</a>

I don't think Spamdar believes in toilets. When someone presents him with an enshitification idea, he just lets it rip into the serps. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c8dfd44c80ac591b99ed82774a14cb95293627d6a478e8db350a0022f8fd8e97.gif

I do wonder if Charleston Crafted got a boost? I got the boot.

i have commented this earlier also. it seems like google is cooking something since start and end of core update. newer posts, especially from small sites, are having hard time to be indexed.

Exactly. If the site is dead in the water at 90% down like you said, it won't sell for much if at all anyways. Anyone who has held on this long, might as well just keep the site on life support under the chance there's at least enough of a recovery to be profitable again. Just as long as they can afford to keep the site up of course.

<blockquote>Yeah, it's a classic case of hindsight being 20/20.</blockquote> Yup, by the time everyone realised they should have sold it was far, far too late unfortunately. I'd rather hold onto a hit site now and see if it recovers, its better that than basically give it away based off of current revenue. There's no point in selling if you're 90% down.

I swear this is the weirdest update I’ve ever experienced. Traffic has gone up, but my leads are zero. The visitors aren’t clicking on any ads or affiliate links, and they’re not signing up for my newsletter. It is like a zombie apocalypse.

I would guess that most of the sites that saw partial recoveries from this update didn't see any positive impacts from the August 2024 core update. I got a big boost in rankings from that update and a very small traffic bump (compared to before HCU 2023), but nothing since then, and in fact, traffic has largely approached pre-Aug 2024 levels. So, unless Google fixes things for real, I suspect that many of the "gains" people have seen from this update will gradually wane in the coming months. The SERPs are still a disaster, by the way. One of the biggest issues I see is that for many queries, Google seems to be trying to show a lot of "diversity" in the results. The problem with this is that it destroys the relevance of the results. This "diversity" means that a lot of pages that are barely or only tangentially relevant to the query are ranking above pages that are much more relevant to the query. I think this is one of the root causes of why so many people are complaining about the usefulness (or lack thereof) of Google search results nowadays.

<blockquote>Some would say - why didnt you sell it when it started going down? I was like - it will settle at some point telling myself it for 100x times, I absolutely didnt believe after that 3 years ride that it would drop and never go back, it was unimaginable and still is, I still live in that moment and got stuck in it, didnt jump from it yet.. its like living a bad dream and still dreaming it</blockquote>Yeah, it's a classic case of hindsight being 20/20. You still made the right call based on all you and everyone else knew at the time of how updates went until September 2023 HCU. No one could've predicted just how long things would stay so fucked afterwards. Especially when you had a profitable site like yours, nobody but a clueless moron in this industry or total pssy like Bobby would've cut and run as soon as you got hit. Even the best of the best in this industry couldn't find a way out of the death grip of the HCU signal once it was applied to a domain. Not even scissoring SEO DJs could spin their way out of it. Only now with this last update, nearly 2 fucking years later, did the sadistic Google cksuckers finally ease up in the HCU signal for a handful of lucky sites. So hopefully at least now having stayed the course, it will start to literally begin paying off again for you once again, even if it's less than before you got hit.

They are building one near Amarillo, too. I'm sure that they have the same deal with a power company based on the speed with which they are bringing it about.

yes yes its true there is more russian traffic, but still i have majority of traffic from the US for my new site, so this model is questionable

Guess what that first paragraph brings... the vintage-style lamp listings on Etsy will be identified as mass-produced and the Etsy bots will take those Etsy listings down and make the Etsy seller prove that the lamp is geniunely vintage, thinking that the chatbot-chosen lamp in his cart is the real vintage one. That's happened a lot over the last year; other countries taking the images of an item off of Etsy, then mass producing it and selling it thru Temu, etc., then the Etsy seller has to prove that it's NOT mass-produced and prove that they DID make it with their own two hands. The bots may even put the shop on vacation for 6-8 weeks until a human can determine that the items are really made by the seller. And good luck getting in touch with support.

I can also say the displayed ads became wortless, I used to have 20 RPM on Mediavine, then next year it was 16, next about 8, then finally around 6 RPM. So imagine going from 20 to 6 RPM Now I am under Monumetric, and I have 3,7 fucking RPM, 3,7!! Imagine that, whats the future of the ads? Its a fucking crap. Its like you are fighting against poeple that want to have clean user experience, and you slap some fucking unrelevant ads on the site. I never had any idea how that could be sustainable. Or maybe just too many people simply turn on the ad blockers, and ad networks just wont tell that, instead they will keep saying keep doing good content and focus on the US audience PFF

sad thing is I had chance to sell it always under price, lets say site had value about 250K at one point and I could easily sell it for like 150K, and I was like, nah I dont want to go underprice.. its making consistent money, then it second time I was about selling it, it had abour 30K value and I was thinking same way, it was like 3-5 times I was in the same situation, so whats the chance it wont keep dropping? but am also like - it dropped already enough, how worse it can be? but it can really be worst, to drop to 0 haha!

When the update was near completion, Google fully restored AIO plus some. Ranking, for the most part, only matters if AIO is NOT present.

very odd. I know of a few cases in my network (including myself here with few businesses) where the uptrend remained steady to date as I am typing. Are you relying on News & Discover as things might be different there OR are you more ecomm?

During the entire 16 days of the update, our traffic was recovering. Then, on the very day the update's end was announced, our site lost all traffic. What's the logic?

I would've probably crossed my fingers like you than sell.
