Google Search Ranking Increases During Core Update Wiped Out Post Update

It's like Google cannot make up its mind - with all the volatility we reported post Google August 2024 core update, a lot of that volatility means ranking changes for sites like yours. Some of you who saw modest increases in your Google Search rankings during the core update are now reporting those gains are being lost.

It is like the reversal (which it wasn't) is being reversed - if that makes sense.

Like we've been reporting, those changes happened specifically around September 6th, September 10th, September 14th and September 18th or so. But the volatility continued between and after those dates, because that is how this works.

In this story, I am not going to share ranking charts from those providers. Instead, I'll share people talking about this on social, saying they had signs of recovery and then those were reversed, they vanished, post core update.

It is heartbreaking to read some of these posts and meanwhile, Google is silent.

Of course, a lot of you are saying the same things in the comments on these stories.
