Comments on: Google’s August 2023 Core Update: What SEOs Need to Know https://www.thehoth.com/blog/googles-august-2023-core-update/ SEO Link Building Service Fri, 25 Aug 2023 10:26:49 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Mark https://www.thehoth.com/blog/googles-august-2023-core-update/#comment-379198 Fri, 25 Aug 2023 10:26:49 +0000 https://www.thehoth.com/?p=34460#comment-379198 These core updates are always scary. About 90% of my articles held the #1 spot on Google, and few that didn’t were in the top 3.

All of a sudden, most of my articles have dropped to position 15-40. As a result, my traffic (and ad revenue) is down about 75%.
The articles that replaced mine (and other bloggers), don’t even answer the question being asked, according to some testing I have been doing.

It’s weird, I am familiar with all the top bloggers in my niche. We have all taken a hit and have been replaced with articles that do not answer the question, are poorly formatted, or are very short.

Hopefully, it is just temporary. The same thing happened about a month ago for 6 days, then all of a sudden I recovered all my traffic.

I had been planning to post a thread about it when the update went live. However, since I didn’t come across many discussions about it, I began to doubt myself. At the moment, there are significant fluctuations in website traffic. Still, it’s possible that others have a different perspective. Please keep updating your observations on the situation.
