Reply To: Traffic dead since the last update?

Yeah, I’m not convinced it’s just “SERP churn” either. I’ve seen too many sites get that slow bleed where nothing *looks* broken until you check traffic and it’s just… gone. The parasite stuff especially feels way less reliable now. Used to be you could get away with some pretty sloppy setups and they’d hang around long enough to matter, but lately it’s like Google’s not even bothering to let them settle. Could be a broader devaluation thing, could be the update, could be Google just shuffling junk around again. But if a bunch of your pages got hit at once, I’d be looking at the whole footprint, not just one page.
