Isn't that too rash and rather too soon to give up? Was hit in 2014, lasted to 2016 when I almost sold blog, but now I'm thanking God for the grace to have held on! Having the best time ever in revenue via sponsored posts.

Wasn't any Google algo hit! I guess you saw the Alexa graph, I actually bought fake Alexa rank booster, so after expiring it falls back. grin

Just to prove to a client that Alexa ranking is flawed, I climbed to 200k within a month, the ranking is hugely flawed!

I've glanced through it. And perhaps, that might be helpful to those affected by the update.

It just dawned on me that this Google update penalised lengthy posts and Yoast-compliant high keyword density, which Google now probably sees as spammy. The conventional wisdom of 'long posts (2k+) tend to rank' is now doubtful.

The update is all about quality content. But unlike before now when post length was seen as an indicator of content quality.

I figured some affiliate posts I made numbering up to 100 posts containing ebooks were deemed copyright infringement by Google so affected my site with some other technical issues associated with structured data.

I deleted over 100s of such posts and changed to a theme with better structured data implementation.

That's it! cool
