This is the Google Analytics over the last year for what used to be mine and Partha's best-performing site!

It's beyond explanation, lol.

@ohnoo_not_her What is weird though, is how it suddenly shot back up again from July 1.

But still only half of what it was before September 2023!

And now, dropping like a stone again, lol.

Admittedly, we have done very little with it over the last few months.

@diane that is weird Diane!

So far, my impressions have dropped another 50% ... which I didn't think was even possible seeing as they're so low anyway 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

@diane I was watching this video about brand-new research of all this chancing.
I want to stress that I don´t know how reliable the research is, and the same goes for the video channel (I have seen videos from it many times but am still not sure!).

But as I felt that it contained many points to consider, I decided to set it here. There is one point to have in mind, too, that they don´t mention. If my feeling is correct, they are more researched big sites, which I think are very different topics than smaller sites that probably most of us have.

But there are interesting points, like fewer posts but with more quality getting up, as Diane and Partha had talked about. I think that is one point about the difference between big and small. >
Because bigger can let a big percentage go and still have a lot of posts, while smaller can be like a Sahara after that.

I tried to set it as a private page in October because I wanted to keep some, but I don´t have a clue if that was right.
The only change was that it showed a failure in Linkwhisper, which took public and private links equally and showed bad service when I asked them about it.

Too, as I understand it, but it could be a language misunderstanding. The ideology of the man from Turkey—sorry, I don´t remember his name—about writing many posts about questions for a selected topic could not be accepted. I understand it that way, as they talk about merging the same. But like I said, it is quite possible that I completely misunderstood that!

@ohnoo_not_her I couldn´t have it more polite, wanted to be much more harsh!
From my account in WA:
But what is going on here? I have never seen this before. Good trainers missed their material, and some were silenced for warning people about doing things right! For me, it is a big disappointment, and I hope that changes.

@diane This is very similar to mine, except my numbers are lower.

Not using "Jaaxy" or whatever.

But Lyle & Larson told me that Jaaxy is the #1 primo keyword tool online?

  Surprised

Thanks for sharing the effects you and Partha experienced from Googles touch.

I had a quick skim of Diggity's latest SEO news and he's highlighting more sites that are recovering after removing most of their content ... or lots of it, at least.

Bing is still giving me some love - yes the traffic is low but it's traffic! So, I had a little thought today ... I don't want to remove most of my content, as I've previously mentioned, but what about this idea? (@partha - please tell me this is a damn fool idea if necessary!)

Since Google seems to be rewarding fewer, but higher quality pages pages, use 'robots.txt' to block ONLY Google from all pages which flag up as dead wood and then create some high quality pillar pages before writing some select, high quality sub pages to bolster the pillars.

This way I'm essentially starting over as far as Google is concerned but all other engines see all pages.

What do you all think?

@rohanm "I don't want to remove most of my content, "

I was reading a short time ago from one of the Google staff—maybe Sullivan, but I am not sure I remember it right—that they didn´t recommend deleting old posts as it sends Google a signal that we have no helpful content.
Partha knows but just because this was one of the 2 people I know about from Google I took it seriously.
