Reply To: Expired domain rankings died overnight, anyone else?

Kind of feels like yeah, that “overnight brick wall” thing is real. When it happens that fast, I usually stop blaming the pages first and start looking at the whole footprint again. I’ve had expireds go fine for weeks/months, then one recheck and they just stop breathing. Crawl drops, a couple URLs disappear, then the rest follow. Super annoying. If it’s more than one domain, I’d be side-eyeing shared host / redirect pattern / same basic build before anything else. Google seems way more jumpy with that stuff lately. That’s how I look at it.
