Reply To: Traffic tanked after adding new pages

Yeah, I’ve seen that weird “add a batch, then everything gets a bit off” thing before. Usually for me it wasn’t the new pages alone, it was the site getting nudged into some uglier bucket in Google’s eyes — more thin-ish pages, more overlap, whatever. Not saying that’s definitely it here, but I’d be looking at the new set first instead of just blaming the whole site. And yeah, nuking pages is one of those moves that feels productive right up until it makes the data even messier. Been there.
