Reply To: Expired domain rankings died overnight, anyone else?

From my experience, yeah, I’ve seen the same ugly cliff drop. Usually when it’s that fast, it’s not some slow “content quality” thing, it’s more like Google reprocessed the whole setup and decided the expireds weren’t worth keeping around. Crawl rate gets weird, a few URLs stop moving, then boom — dead. If it’s happening across more than one domain, I’d be looking at shared traces before anything else. Same host, same redirect pattern, same template footprint, same outbound junk. That stuff seems to get burned way faster lately. Could still be the domains were dirtier than they looked, but overnight drops always feel more like a filter/re-eval than a normal decay. Google’s been extra twitchy with this stuff.
