Reply To: Traffic dropped again, shocker

Interesting take. Kind of feels like yeah, same here. Feels like the usual “nothing changed except everything changed” nonsense. I’ve had pages look dead in GSC while the rankings were basically just getting shoved under a pile of junk SERP crap. One affiliate page I watched last month went from fine to useless overnight, and it wasn’t even a clean drop — just clicks evaporated like Google decided nobody deserved them. I wouldn’t call it a penalty unless the whole site’s doing weird stuff. If it’s just one page, it’s usually query drift, some SERP feature garbage, or Google deciding your result is now the least interesting thing on the page. Which, honestly, is their favorite hobby.
