Google update

[casinofeb]

I have seen my sites come off a cliff in terms of traffic. I have spent years focusing on adding content to my sites. I have not done link building since google said create content and links will come naturally lol. I have gotten links but nothing close to what one could get buying them.

I am certain their are many here with quality aged sites and we have nothing to loose if we link to each other.

Example you tell me i want link from page X and i tell you i want from page x on your site and we all get links and we are all gambling related.

This Google update was rough. Did you win then for not having any paid links?

you need a indian news site, bad generic AI content and spammy links to rank nowadays

No paid links, i made sure i didnt do that following older sites in the past that got rekt for it and other reasons.

Exactly, it is amazing how they manage to rank.

I think with AI, even google will suffer. I mean i no longer search on google for info. I go to chat gpt and post my query, that way i get the reply i need and dont need to go through 10 or more pages that google shows. Also with pro i can have it go and find cheap ticket from city A to city B and it does the bing search, checks some sites and comes back to tell me where i find the best deal. Google will finally get karma for all their alg updates haha I even see google ad for their own services sometimes.

What specific adjustments have you made or are planning to make on your site within the past 2 months related to Google's focus on YMYL, E-A-T, content quality, and page experience signals like Core Web Vitals? Are you leaning into creating more long-form, in-depth articles covering nuance and broader questions within your niche? Does the 4,000+ word range now perform better for you than before? Thanks for your advice
