Reply To: Affiliate pages tanked overnight again

[meloncrash]

Yeah, I’m seeing the same kind of junk on a couple of my pages. One day they’re holding, next day it’s like someone kicked the legs out from under them. What’s annoying is when Search Console starts acting up at the same time, cause then you can’t even tell if it’s real or just Google being its usual mess. I’ve had comparison pages get hit harder than normal content too, especially if the SERPs are shifting around or some big box got shoved in above the results. I’d still check whether the drop is all queries or just the money terms. Last time this happened to me, impressions were kinda there but clicks got wrecked, which made it look way worse than it was. Could’ve been snippet stuff, could’ve been device split, could’ve been Google deciding to be weird for a week. Hard to tell anymore. If it’s the same story by next week, then yeah, maybe there’s actually something off. But overnight cliff drops on affiliate pages? Been there too many times to immediately…
