HOT HOT - A big google core algorithm update is rolling out "TODAY" – May 4, 2020

Google’s Danny Sullivan has confirmed that a core algorithm update is rolling out TODAY – May 4,2020
As is typical with these updates, it will typically take about one to two weeks to fully roll out.

------------------------------------

We get about 80% more google traffic per hour ...

Hopefully it will stay that way or it will get even better ;-)

And what about you?

[Look Chang]

Common situation in the Land of Smiles ...

[thezio]

[The Porn Nerd]

Traffic drop 20% these past two days.

Thanks Google!

[ZENRA]

Traffic drop 20% these past two days.

Thanks Google!

I'm sure you'll go back up. There's always temporary shuffling when these updates roll out.

[The Porn Nerd]

I'm sure you'll go back up....

That's what she said.

[cezar78]

I miss those times in 2008 when google algo was so stupid

[Moby74]

Noticed some drop in traffic too, however, another site in the same niche had a huge traffic boost. I have very similar SEO strategies on both websites.

Hopefully, everything will stabilize soon ;)

[kktsuper]

A few of my sites dropped 10-15% in the past 2 days. Hope it's temporary.

[PornMySex]

Almost 50% loss on some sites.

[BigFurry]

Seeing a big loss too, starting today.

While some crappy site of mine got a boost.

Also seeing more tubes ranking for non-video keywords.

Hoping that the SERPS are not in the "final" state yet.

[wankawonk]

traffic more than tripled on some of my older sites

wtf....

assuming this is temporary, hoping it's not.

[BigFurry]

Linkedin main page missing from the new SERPs now...

Update: never mind, looks like a fuckup from Linkedin: https://twitter.com/JohnMu/status/1258011921636302848

[AzteK]

Huge shakeups! Ugh gotta wait this out...

Do your sites that got more se traffic have ads on them? Or are you just making money from sending traffic to tubes?

I noticed sites with ads ( exoclick, adsense etc... ) lost traffic and the other sites gained traffic.

they have ads...including pops...

for all we know in two days they'll be back to normal. but right now...3x the traffic. insane. I've never seen anything like this.

[BigFurry]

Yea the crappy site that went up for me also has pops. And the clean site went down.

[euro1988]

Question, what's the difference between those sites in terms of page speed and bounce rate?

[AzteK]

I'm seeing a complete mix up of adult and non-adult searching for porn brands.

[The Porn Nerd]

25% drop in traffic over the past 2 days.
Thanks Google!
(Oh I already said that....fuckers.)

[RyuLion]

I'm sure you'll go back up. There's always temporary shuffling when these updates roll out.

^^ THIS ^^^

[MattGFY]

Around four days ago, I lost all my ranking keywords, for the only site I have that's doing good. I about started to cry, lol. The next day I woke up, and everything was back to normal. Today I lost a little traffic but nothing major.

[pigface]

20 to 30% loss. Far as I can see is that brand terms are slightly affected. I have a huge drop in pornstar names and tags. I see that insta, Twitter and non adult pornstar accounts went up, also big tubes got a bonus in rankings...

[BigFurry]

Question, what's the difference between those sites in terms of page speed and bounce rate?

Speed: same according to Google Search Console.
Bounce rate: bit worse on the "good" site (not a perfect comparison, using different tools on them)
User engagement: pages/session, visit duration a LOT better on the "good" site

I guess calling the other site crappy is misleading. It has quality content. But it's not been actively updated for years, has way lower user engagement, and popunders.

That said, seems like things improved a bit for me today. So as others said, rankings are still moving around. Fingers crossed!

[j3rkules]

Some of my sites dropped like 30% in searches, but others are up. Let's see how it will look like after the update ends.

[PornMySex]

It seems older sites are up and newer sites are down.

[eliotweb]

20-30% loss on few projects that > 1y old. hope big g will roll back.

[celandina]

No noticeable change here

[wankawonk]

It seems older sites are up and newer sites are down.

yes I noticed this too

not just on my own sites--checking a few SERPs I see sites that used to rank 2+ years ago but lost their rankings...

there is one site that used to be HUGE and then was penalized/removed from all SERPs for years and is now back

[genki__]

I've lost 40-50% traffic.. This sucks.

[AzteK]

I've lost 40-50% traffic.. This sucks.

I think the update is still in progress, we'll see how it ends. It doesn't look good now, but that may change over time.

[MattGFY]

Took a bigger hit than I thought. Lost 4k visitors on one site for today.

[j3rkules]

I noticed the same exact thing. Some of my very old, not updated sites are now got high rankings. Let's wait...

[jamezon]

this is a hell of a dance, unfort it wont stay, have a 2.5x traffic increase ,maybe some changes in backlink policy

[Mediamix]

I've lost 40-50% traffic.. This sucks.

Same here. I got hit pretty hard. Let's hope it gets back up.

[adtrafic]

Up 30-50% in 30 domains...

Just 1 domain down 50%.

[CaptainHowdy]

Up 30-50% in 30 domains...

Just 1 domain down 50%.

[pornuploader]

I've got around 30-40% more traffic for all domains since 4 days ago, It scares me, Because based on my experience it won't last, My domains ranking would fall off pretty soon.

[247mg]

Its hurts big time hope all settle down soon and we get back to where we were..... google dance is still going on

[xxify]

So far no change for me

[The Porn Nerd]

Last week: almost a record week in sales/revenue.
This week: absolute shit show, everything down 40%.

The Internet Giveth and The Internet Taketh Away...

[Look Chang]

Traffic up 25% on my sites

Hello! Does anyone use Clodflare?
After the server load surge, traffic on my site dropped. The hosting provider recommends using services like Clodflare. Is this related to the Google Core Algorithm Update? This is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

[Dreamteam]

Guys come out of your bubble. Not everyone will recover from this shuffle.

The traffic you may have received from Google for years is not yours.

Some think that the traffic they have sometimes received from Google for years is theirs and belongs to their site by now.

Some now take it for granted that they get that traffic. They don't do anything about the site anymore nor do they provide more linkjuice. Why would they do that? Everything is perfect, right?

They now feel robbed by the sites where all that traffic goes today. Of course it is not.

And yes it hurts when you wake up one morning and find that 50% of your traffic is gone (and with it 50% of your income).

But not everyone can do well in google.

It hurts, I understand that, but that's just the way it is.

My tip: Never stop improving your site and strengthening your SEO. Never think you are already there.

Hope all turns out well for all of you

All the beste, cheers

With the details you provided it's impossible to tell, is it a new site?
The surge could be Google's crawlers, which explains the traffic drop.
Cloudflare is not related, but you should use it for sure, I use it for all my domains.

Feel free to email me or send your Skype, I'll try to help
