Write your elected reps who are to blame for allowing Google to continue. So they know you are serious, tell them you are voting for their opponent and include a copy of the campaign contribution check you gave to their opponent. All Google understands is money. All politicians understand is money. It's in the courts hands now.

You are just another anonymous. Name v2.0, no profile pic, and even Disqus profile privated, so my guess is you ain't about to do anything publicly, never mind do anything for the community. What you hiding bro?

I admitted my guilt and stated it is not to say I won't be taking other action. I have actually been in contact personally with HouseFresh and others which may involve something in the near future. So. Do tell us what you did? Whatever you have done/actioned will be a great help to some people including me looking for ways to tackle this constructively! Do you have links to your article or video you could share?

"none of us did it" not true. Maybe you should just speak for yourself! And while you're at it, follow through on your own advice. Tu quoque.

I did post in here after HouseFresh wrote its article (way before they got some traffic back) that we all should be publishing articles and videos about the poor consumer experince users are getting along with the decimation of our businesses. I then went on to say imagine the effect of 1000's even 100 publishers could have. However, none of is did it and some just typed in here then critized HouseFresh, RetroDude (when they got some traffic back) and now others who take action. I am too guilty for not publishing anything as yet. That's not too say I won't but you guys in here are the last people I would turn to (there are plenty of HCU'd publishers on X that are behind their own folk and taking action--even if only an article). I believe this needed many publishers pulling together publishing articles and videos and making a noise on social media. Google might have moved its ass quicker and still might.

No worries. If more did what housefresh did more might have happened.

got it ...everything will happen in ur favor only if u pour money that benefits them...anyways many will b doing so...agencies/organisations have been already doing so...but for small publishers i dont think itll b a very good idea as long as u r not making enough money to invest into this...

this may be useful to some: as i said many times my dad has an old non-SEO site that survived HCU it was however hit on 21-25 and lost 70% traffic but it's fighting back and is currently at 40% loss traffic this confirms the theory that zero seo is the new seo not saying the site wasn't hit by any updates it's super old so who know how many updates but it outlived my sites

Jewish Cat Who Does S̶E̶O̶ commented on Google Search Volatility Still Heated After August Core Update Rollout

Yeap... Let's never forget, guys... Bing's AI or co-pilot is powered by ChatGPT. It used to be called ChatGPT in the early days before it was renamed to co-pilot in Bing. I have a strong feeling SearchGPT will be the glimpse into the future of Bing... If so, I won't be surprise if Google FOMO into it too and start rolling Gemini (the free version) as the new 'Google' but with ads. Then maybe a tab that says 'Browse Search Results' to bring back the old Google search results but with even more ads and sh!t. If you still haven't have a "Plan B"... Better start strategizing one now...

^ This... As much as we all were advocating users to use other Search Enginse other than Google (with many recommending Bing), it has ended up biting us too. Just like remember how some also recommended Brave browser and search? Later Brave also enshittification-ed - they start putting up ads just like Google and so on. And never forget... Bing's co-pilot is also in Edge browser, and Microsoft office products. It can generate answers so readily and easily with just a few link references to where the content is taken from. But let's face it - who will click the link to learn more when they've gotten their answer? If user still have questions they can continue asking the AI instead. And with Bing making these sites 'disappear' from search, users who are searching for answers in Bing aren't able to get the answer they're looking for. So what do they do? Yeap, resort to co-pilot/AI. Seems like a ploy. "Out of the frying pan into the fire."

Traffic went up a bit (50% of the average instead of 30% as reported in the previous days). But another day of no sales... Did a quick browse of the SERPs and can vouch what others said... the old sponsored content sites and parasite SEOs are back again. Mid-Day, TribuneIndia, .etc. This core update seems to be like a 50% rollback of March Core Update.

Good point - *Then JohnM can taunt us again and tell everyone to ignore affected webmasters and use HealthyFramework as an example with their questionable backlinks.* They actually keeping waiting fir such opportunities to blame us for everything just as they're conducting mass killing of a bunch sites phase by phase they just keep looking for a shortcut to blame us for what we're witnessing and for the purpose, they keep targeting only a few sites as examples to show that webmasters have been unethical while they never actually take the responsibility of scrutinizing whether each of these sites they've killed+are planning on killing have been doing something unethical

Bing is quite similar to Google nowadays but arguably more ruthless.

You're on the edge my brother. Stop doing what you are doing immediately. Once you leave Bing, it is very difficult to ever get back in. You can remove all of the stuff it didn't like and it will keep you out.

Negative seo links usually drop pretty quickly, these look like pbn, low quality sites, link farms and foreign language sites.

Yes, it's like an on-off switch; index, de-index. Index, de-index. Appear, disappear. It's there, then it doesn't show up at all.

My site and my competitor's site have suddenly disappeared from the Bing index. Is anyone facing the same issue? I checked the console and found no issue there.
