Affiliate pages tanked after the update again

Kind of feels like in my opinion, yeah, seen that a few times now. Same old story — a bunch of decent pages get clipped while some garbage is still floating around like nothing happened. Could be another wobble, could be site-level trust taking a hit, could just be Google being Google for a week. I wouldn’t assume it’s “content quality” in the generic guru sense unless you’ve got a real pattern across the whole site. If it’s just the money pages and the weaker stuff is still up, I’d be looking at: – intent mismatch on those pages – over-optimized affiliate layout – internal links pointing too hard at commercial pages – thin comparison sections that used to be “good enough” and aren’t anymore Not saying that’s definitely it, just the usual suspects when the weird pages survive and the ones making money get hammered. If you want, post one example page type and what the SERP changed into — sometimes the pattern is obvious, sometimes it’s just another messy update and you wait it out.

Yeah, I’ve seen that too. The “just improve content” line gets old fast when the junk keeps surviving and the real pages get clipped. If it’s only the money pages, I’d be looking at the page type and the SERP shift more than the content itself. Could just be another messy wobble, honestly. That’s how I look at it.

Honestly, yeah, that’s the annoying part — the junk surviving while the money pages get clipped doesn’t exactly scream “content quality” in any clean way. I’d still lean wobble / re-eval over anything dramatic if it’s only this week. If it keeps going for another crawl or…

Seriously, yeah, I’m seeing the same kind of nonsense. Money pages get slapped, some trash page with half-baked scraped junk keeps breathing like nothing happened. At this point I don’t even buy the “just make it better” line unless the whole site moved. If it’s only a few…

Honestly, personally, Realistically, seriously, honestly, From my experience, personally, yeah, same here. It’s getting old watching some garbage page hang on while actual money pages get shoved off a cliff for no obvious reason. I’m not buying the “content fix” answer unless the whole site got hit, honestly.

Yeah, I’m seeing enough of this that I don’t think it’s just “your content sucks” in the usual lazy way. If it’s a clean drop on money pages while junk hangs around, that smells more like a re-eval / wobble than some neat little quality verdict. Den’s right to a point, but I wouldn’t jump straight to “fix the page” unless the pattern sticks after another crawl or two. That’s how I look at it.

Yeah, that pattern usually isn’t “your content suddenly got worse” in some neat clean way. When I’ve seen money pages get hit while junk sticks around, it’s often more like a reweighting thing or a temporary eval shift. Google doesn’t seem to need a full site-wide collapse to start preferring weird crap for a bit. Annoying as hell, but that’s the game. I’d check logs / crawl stats before touching the pages themselves. If Googlebot’s still hitting them нормально and they’re getting rendered/indexed fine, I’d be a lot more suspicious of the update than the page copy.

I mean, in my opinion, Personally, yeah, that’s basically the same mess I’m seeing too. The annoying part is the junk pages don’t even have to be *better* — they just need to survive the wobble while the money page gets clipped for a week or two. I’m not convinced this is some magical “content quality” lesson either. Half the time it feels like Google just re-shuffles the deck and then everyone starts acting like they found the one true fix. If it were me I’d wait a bit before ripping pages apart. I’ve burned myself enough times “improving” stuff right after an update and just made the whole thing worse.
