Yeah, I’ve seen the same kind of thing lately. Not “random” random, but close enough that it feels like it when you’re staring at a bunch of pages that were fine last month and now they’re just… buried. What usually bites is Google deciding a page is “not worth the crawl” or “same-y enough” once signals shift a bit. One template change, one internal linking change, a little more competition, and suddenly the page gets treated like it was always mediocre. Affiliate stuff gets hit hard too, especially if the page doesn’t have much unique value beyond the usual comparison fluff. Google’s been pretty trigger-happy with that lately, from what I’ve seen in logs and GSC. If they’re truly getting nuked, I’d look at: – crawl frequency dropping before the fall – canonical weirdness – internal links getting weaker – page speed/rendering issues – content getting too close to other pages on the site But yeah, I wouldn’t call it random. Just opaque as hell, which is almost worse. Honestly,
