Personally, Well, yeah, I’d be looking at whether it was a real drop or just the usual Google shuffle nonsense. If the pages are still indexed and the rankings moved around a lot, it’s probably not some sudden “quality” revelation. Honestly, If impressions tanked and the same junk is swapping in and out, that’s basically par for the course lately. I’d still check the boring stuff though — crawl stats, indexing, whether a bunch of URLs got weirdly devalued, and if anything on the affiliate side changed without you noticing. Google loves hiding the ball. And yeah, “quality means nothing” is maybe a bit much, but it sure feels that way some days. Just my experience.
