Reply To: Traffic dead after this week’s update

Yeah, I’d still want to see logs before blaming the “AI-ish base” for everything. I’ve watched sites get whacked after an update and the content wasn’t even the main issue — crawl patterns changed, some sections got devalued, then the whole thing looked dead in GSC for a few days From my experience,. That bounce-then-crash thing is usually not a good sign though. Feels like a re-eval, not a real recovery. If both sites share the same template, same internal linking, same kind of thin edits, then yeah… that’s typically the common thread. But I wouldn’t rule out a sitewide trust problem either. Google’s been extra weird with smaller sites lately.
