Reply To: Affiliate pages tanked overnight again

Yeah, I’m not buying “site-wide disaster” from a one-week cliff unless logs/crawl stats moved with it. Had this on a couple affiliate sets before where the pages looked dead in GSC, but it was really query mix + SERP clutter + one bad reporting day stacking on top of each other. If it’s only the comparison pages and not the whole template family, I’d suspect Google’s just reweighting them again for whatever reason. Classic nonsense. If it’s still ugly after a few days, then I’d start looking at canonicals/internal links/rendering weirdness. But overnight drops on affiliate pages happen way too often…
