Reply To: Google’s latest “tweak” nuked my traffic

Yeah, same pattern here. Not a neat “content quality” thing at all, just a bunch of pages getting clipped for no obvious reason. I’d be looking at crawl frequency and what Google’s actually choosing as the canonical, because half the time the page didn’t “lose” anything — it just got de-prioritized or swapped out of the index cluster. The annoying part is it can look like a ranking drop when it’s really an indexing/canonical mess underneath. And yeah, the “add more EEAT” crowd can take a hike. That advice gets wheeled out every time like it’s some kind of fix for a broken retrieval system.
