Reply To: Traffic dropped again for no reason

Obviously. Yeah, “quality” gets blamed for everything around here like it’s some magic bucket Google can dump all its mess into. To be fair, If it was steady and then got hit overnight, I’d be looking at crawl/indexing weirdness or a re-shuffle before I started gutting the site. I’ve seen pages drop under absolute trash for a week or two and then bounce back for no obvious reason, which is obviously super helpful and not at all infuriating. The annoying part is when there’s no manual action, no obvious technical issue, nothing changed, and still the thing tanks. That’s usually when people start inventing grand theories instead of just checking whether Google’s doing one of its usual little tantrums. Okay then.
