If your traffic has dropped

So many sites have traffic that is declining dramatically in the last few months. Starting early November, worsening with the December 5 helpful content update, and becoming downright catastrophic for some sites at random days since then.

• NEW: Once again offering traffic drop assessments personally done by me
• My guide to assessing a drop in Google organic traffic
• Google’s Advice on assessing traffic drops
• My Youtube Videos on The September Core Update and the October Spam Update
• My book on using the information in the Quality Raters Guidelines as a checklist for improving site quality
• If your traffic is rapidly declining starting at some point since November, read this tweet thread or  my post on the December Helpful Content update with my theory on Google applying the helpful content classifier to more sites.
• I have written a LOT on the December Helpful Content Update. Mostly, pay attention to this Google document on creating helpful content.
• I have not written much yet on the December Link Spam Update. If you were hit, you likely can’t recover as Google has neutralized links built for SEO. BUT many site owners that think they were hit by the link spam update are just seeing normal seasonal changes. There’s more in Episode 269 of Search News You Can Use to help you here.
• My book on the October Spam update (although the December one is acting differently)
• If you choose to disavow, my link auditing book will help you to help you understand which links are unnatural and what and how to disavow. It’s the 2020 version so I reduced it to $20. Still very relevant today.
• An article I wrote for Moz on unnatural links. It’s 9 years old, but still relevant.
• Two articles on why you can ignore toxic links and Toxic Links and Disavows on Search Engine Land
• Google’s spam guidelines. And also their July 2021 link spam update information about guest posting.
