Thank you for this video. I was hit by the first Google update and lost 70% of my traffic then recovered and did amazing for a couple of months. All I did was work on core vitals and write more info content. Got hit again last month and lost 70% of my traffic again. Not sure what to do but have a feeling it could be related link spam as I’ve been attacked a number of times by competitors. Everything else I’m not sure of. I have exclusive affiliate partners and one of the few blogs that has an active TH-cam channel with a following. Also been on podcasts and interviewed a bunch even been on TV on MSNBC news and still get hit over a site that has a fake avatar and is run by an SEO agency. I have a significant email list as well - but it doesn’t bring in much traffic.
Hello Sorry to hear that you've been affected by Google updates. If you're sure your site is facing link spam from your competitors, we recommend you disavow those spam links regularly. The disavow tool from Google also allows you to disavow domains, so you don't have to disavow links one by one. Hope it helps!
Thank you for this excellent video. I have a question, if you don't mind. Could diversifying the content of articles on my website potentially make it more susceptible to negative impacts from Google algorithm updates?
Hello, thank you for your comment. Diversifying the content of your website's articles can potentially make it less susceptible to negative impacts from Google algorithm updates. This is because Google is constantly rewarding websites that provide high-quality content that is relevant to a wide range of topics. By diversifying your content, you are increasing the chances that your website will rank for a greater variety of keywords. This will make it more difficult for Google to penalize your website if it makes a change to its algorithm that affects a particular topic. But please ensure that your content is relevant to your target audience. If you still have any questions, just reply and we will be more than happy to clarify any doubts you might have.
"Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I truly appreciate your kind words. I also want to share that my website did indeed experience some negative impact from the recent Google algorithm update. It's been a challenging journey, but I'm actively working on solutions to restore it to its previous performance. Your support means a lot during this process. If you have any suggestions or insights on how to navigate these algorithm changes, I'd be grateful for your input. Feel free to share any tips or strategies you think could be helpful. Once again, thank you for your encouragement and understanding. It's greatly appreciated!"@@RankMath
Thank you so much for this video, it helped a lot! I want to disavow spammy links but the google tool says: "Domain properties are not supported at this time.". Is there a different way to disavow links for Domain Properties then it is for Normal Properties?
Hello, thank you for your comment. Since Google Disavow tool doesn’t support domain property, you can create a URL property for your website and disavow your links. You can follow this tutorial to create a URL property for your website: rankmath.com/kb/google-site-verification/ Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello, thank you for your comment. If the Google SEO update has caused a significant drop in your traffic, and you believe that your old content is no longer relevant or up-to-date, then deleting it and starting afresh may be a good option. However, if the update has only had a minor impact on your traffic, or if your old content is still relevant and up-to-date, then it may be better to try to fix the problems that caused a drop in traffic in the first place. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello, Thank you for your comment. Google recommends 301 redirection, only if they are closely related topics or even better to a more useful version of the same topic (1:1 replacement). If the topics are not relevant, this could confuse the search engines further. Hence a 410 code is suggested, so these pages can be dropped from the search engine index. Hope it helps!

I want an option where I can apply a custom schema to posts at once. There an option to apply your default schema but customs ones can't be done. Please try as much as possible to add it.

Never bought any links. Never tried underhand tricks. Never even researched any keywords. Just wrote simple content in plain and simple language. Used wordpress. Thats it.
after successfully applying 401 redirect to a page , should i press the delete button for that post to remove it from post section or should i let it stay in post section ?
Hello, thank you for your comment. When you set a page to 410 Content Deleted in Rank Math, you don’t need to delete the post once again. Rank Math would automatically make the content unavailable on the frontend. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello, thank you for your comment, Yes, when we referred to changing the site URL structure, we were referring to changing the permalink structure of your website. It's important to note that changing your permalink structure can have an impact on your website's search engine rankings, as well as on any links that have already been shared to your website. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you for the quality video, I have some questions to ask regarding deleting posts that were affected, if I delete those posts and rewrite new ones, would those posts rank immediately again? my website was hit by almost %100 and I have been publishing new content and they are not ranking or gain traction as well, these are well-written content. or I can just update those existing posts without deleting them because I spent time and money to get these posts, am so sad. 😭
Hello, Sorry to hear that your site has been affected. Ranking in Google also depends on your website overall. Hence in this case, we recommend you to take a step back and evaluate the quality of your entire site and how well it is focused on the niche. Please feel free to open a support ticket if you've any questions and we would love to help you sort it: rankmath.com/support/ We are here to help.
Hello, thank you for your comment. Google can automatically recognize links from popular sites like reddit and hence you don’t need to manually disavow them. Hope this helps, and please don’t hesitate to let us know, if you need help with anything else.
Hello, thank you for your comment. This can happen for a number of reasons, including: Google is re-indexing your website, Google has made an algorithm update, or there is a technical issue with your website. You can monitor and use Google Search Console to track your rankings over time or Pingdom or GTmetrix to check for technical issues with your website. And as always, we recommend creators focus on creating high-quality content because the best way to improve your website's ranking in the long term is to create high-quality content that users will find valuable. Lastly, it's important to be patient and wait for your rankings to stabilize. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

This is a really informative video, but I have a quick question. I passed the September HCU update but got impacted by the Google spam + core update on October 4th-5th, 2023. What this update did to my blog is that my top posts for years disappeared from the SERP. No ranking drop, just disappeared from the SERP. Some of those blog posts appeared in the SERP after some weeks and some after months, but most of these posts are still disappeared. And in this update, some more got disappeared. Any ideas on what I can do, or if I can recover my blog?
Hello, thank you for your comment, That's a frustrating situation! Here are some ideas on what you can do to diagnose the issue and potentially recover your blog's visibility: First thing you can do is to analyze the disappeared posts. Check the Content Quality, re-evaluate the content of the missing posts. Did they target relevant keywords? Were they well-written and informative? Did they adhere to Google's E-A-T principles (Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness)? Next is to check some technical Issues that might prevent indexing or crawling. Lastly, the October update targeted spam. Did any of your missing posts unknowingly include practices like keyword stuffing, cloaking, or thin content? You can check your Search Console Coverage Repor. Recovering from an update can be a slow process. It might take weeks or even months to see your posts reappear in SERPs. If the issue persists after your efforts, consider consulting an SEO specialist for a deeper analysis and potential solutions. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
@@RankMath Yes, I watched this video very carefully, and based on the steps outlined in the video, I created an action plan to update content. I also feel like my blog posts might have a bit of keyword stuffing, but there's no thin content or cloaking involved. The content is self-written by me personally, providing value, and users are engaging in comments(like 20-30avg/blog). So it's just one observation that they might be keyword stuffed. But I have some questions that you might help me with. Is it possible to recover from these updates? I asked the same on Reddit, and one user told me that you might be using exact match internal linking overly. So, do you think that can impact?
Hello, You can recover from Google updates! Focus on natural language, user value, and E-A-T in your content. Avoid keyword stuffing and use a mix of anchor text for internal linking. Here's a quick checklist: - Write valuable content for users. - Use keywords naturally, not forced. - Build your expertise and trustworthiness. - Vary anchor text for internal linking. - Focus on user navigation with internal links. Keep creating great content and monitor your traffic and ranking. You got this!
What if I write an answer on quora and I say something like: if you would like to learn more check out the full article, "with the name of the article". Is that allowed
Hello, thank you for your comment, According to Quora, spam is defined as one or more questions, answers, posts, comments, or messages whose purpose appears to be to direct traffic to external commercial sites while providing little to no value back to the Quora Community. So as long as you provide unique insights and thoughts on the answer topic and the link truly adds more value to the discussion, you're fine with linking. Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello, and thank you for your comment. Assuming that your question is about the technique of buying expired domains and redirecting them for backlinks. Although this technique has worked in the past, it no longer works now unless for genuine cases like changing domain name/site migration. You can learn more about it here: www.searchenginejournal.com/buy-redirect-expired-domains/376607/ Google's systems have evolved over time, and given that it no longers, we don't recommend it. Hope it helps!

I have an important question. You mention to not use reddit for backlinks. I recently created a reddit account to post my shop products on it using fs poster plugin. So you mean that google does not like reddit for promoting products? As it is a forum?
Hello, and thank you for your comment. Unlike typical forum pages, Reddit, by default, marks links with a nofollow attribute, and they will not pass any SEO value. You're free to share your products on Reddit, but they aren't helpful if you're looking for the sole purpose of creating backlinks. Also, many Reddit communities have their own guidelines and may or may not allow sharing links. Hence it is recommended to read and abide by them. Hope it helps!

Very informative video. My site is 100% down and it's because of poor quality contents, based on your video. It's time to rebuild from scratch following "Rank Math" guides. By the way, I use "Link Whisper" to check for deleted links but it's not convenient. Maybe you can do something better than "Link Whisper". Finding broken and deleted link is very useful when removing poor quality contents.

Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you: 1. Your website’s authority 2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking. 3. How competitive the keyword is. 4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have. 5. Your website’s crawlability. 6. Frequency of new content and content updates. 7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂 backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors We would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs.

Hello, and thanks for your comment. You are always welcome. Feel free to get in touch if you have questions.
Thank you for the quality video, I have some questions to ask regarding deleting posts that were affected, if I delete those posts and rewrite new ones, would those posts rank immediately again? my website was hit by almost %100 and I have been publishing new content and they are not ranking or gain traction as well, these are well-written content. or I can just update those existing posts without deleting them because I spent time and money to get these posts, am so sad. 😭
Hello,
Sorry to hear that your site has been affected.
Ranking in Google also depends on your website overall. Hence in this case, we recommend you to take a step back and evaluate the quality of your entire site and how well it is focused on the niche.

Is it true forum sites like Sub reddit backlinks are bad? Even if Posting links our own sub reddit? should I delete all links or disavow it?
Hello, thank you for your comment.
Google can automatically recognize links from popular sites like reddit and hence you don’t need to manually disavow them.
Hope this helps, and please don’t hesitate to let us know, if you need help with anything else.
Hey Jack, my website is performing google dance what should I do? Help me
Hello, thank you for your comment.
This can happen for a number of reasons, including:
Google is re-indexing your website, Google has made an algorithm update, or there is a technical issue with your website.
You can monitor and use Google Search Console to track your rankings over time or Pingdom or GTmetrix to check for technical issues with your website. And as always, we recommend creators focus on creating high-quality content because the best way to improve your website's ranking in the long term is to create high-quality content that users will find valuable.
Lastly, it's important to be patient and wait for your rankings to stabilize.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Very Good Video Thanks
Hello, and thanks for your comment. Glad you liked our video. Feel free to get in touch if you have questions.
This is a really informative video, but I have a quick question. I passed the September HCU update but got impacted by the Google spam + core update on October 4th-5th, 2023. What this update did to my blog is that my top posts for years disappeared from the SERP. No ranking drop, just disappeared from the SERP. Some of those blog posts appeared in the SERP after some weeks and some after months, but most of these posts are still disappeared. And in this update, some more got disappeared. Any ideas on what I can do, or if I can recover my blog?
Hello, thank you for your comment,
That's a frustrating situation! Here are some ideas on what you can do to diagnose the issue and potentially recover your blog's visibility:
First thing you can do is to analyze the disappeared posts.
Check the Content Quality, re-evaluate the content of the missing posts. Did they target relevant keywords? Were they well-written and informative? Did they adhere to Google's E-A-T principles (Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness)?
Next is to check some technical Issues that might prevent indexing or crawling.
Lastly, the October update targeted spam. Did any of your missing posts unknowingly include practices like keyword stuffing, cloaking, or thin content? You can check your Search Console Coverage Repor.
Recovering from an update can be a slow process. It might take weeks or even months to see your posts reappear in SERPs. If the issue persists after your efforts, consider consulting an SEO specialist for a deeper analysis and potential solutions.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
@@RankMath Yes, I watched this video very carefully, and based on the steps outlined in the video, I created an action plan to update content. I also feel like my blog posts might have a bit of keyword stuffing, but there's no thin content or cloaking involved. The content is self-written by me personally, providing value, and users are engaging in comments(like 20-30avg/blog).
So it's just one observation that they might be keyword stuffed. But I have some questions that you might help me with. Is it possible to recover from these updates? I asked the same on Reddit, and one user told me that you might be using exact match internal linking overly. So, do you think that can impact?
Hello,
You can recover from Google updates! Focus on natural language, user value, and E-A-T in your content. Avoid keyword stuffing and use a mix of anchor text for internal linking.
Here's a quick checklist:
- Write valuable content for users.
- Use keywords naturally, not forced.
- Build your expertise and trustworthiness.
- Vary anchor text for internal linking.
- Focus on user navigation with internal links.
Keep creating great content and monitor your traffic and ranking. You got this!

What if I write an answer on quora and I say something like: if you would like to learn more check out the full article, "with the name of the article". Is that allowed
Hello, thank you for your comment,
According to Quora, spam is defined as one or more questions, answers, posts, comments, or messages whose purpose appears to be to direct traffic to external commercial sites while providing little to no value back to the Quora Community.
So as long as you provide unique insights and thoughts on the answer topic and the link truly adds more value to the discussion, you're fine with linking.

What about I use redirect domains for backlinks
Hello, and thank you for your comment.
Assuming that your question is about the technique of buying expired domains and redirecting them for backlinks. Although this technique has worked in the past, it no longer works now unless for genuine cases like changing domain name/site migration.
You can learn more about it here: www.searchenginejournal.com/buy-redirect-expired-domains/376607/
Google's systems have evolved over time, and given that it no longers, we don't recommend it.
Hope it helps!
When do you advise 410 Content Deleted vs 310 Permanent Move when removing underperforming articles?
Hello, Thank you for your comment.
Google recommends 301 redirection, only if they are closely related topics or even better to a more useful version of the same topic (1:1 replacement).
If the topics are not relevant, this could confuse the search engines further. Hence a 410 code is suggested, so these pages can be dropped from the search engine index.
Hope it helps!

I have an important question. You mention to not use reddit for backlinks. I recently created a reddit account to post my shop products on it using fs poster plugin. So you mean that google does not like reddit for promoting products? As it is a forum?
Hello, and thank you for your comment.
Unlike typical forum pages, Reddit, by default, marks links with a nofollow attribute, and they will not pass any SEO value. You're free to share your products on Reddit, but they aren't helpful if you're looking for the sole purpose of creating backlinks.
Also, many Reddit communities have their own guidelines and may or may not allow sharing links. Hence it is recommended to read and abide by them.
Hope it helps!

Is it not better just starting a news site if hit really hard, and then direct the quality content to that site if site does not recover?
Hello, Thank you for your comment.
You may consider moving your quality content to a new website, but it is unlikely Google will reprocess all the quality signals on the new site and start ranking your new website instantly.

Very informative video. My site is 100% down and it's because of poor quality contents, based on your video. It's time to rebuild from scratch following "Rank Math" guides. By the way, I use "Link Whisper" to check for deleted links but it's not convenient. Maybe you can do something better than "Link Whisper". Finding broken and deleted link is very useful when removing poor quality contents.

EEAT is 90% backlinks.
Hello, thank you for your comment.
Well, we can say that it's a common misconception, though yes, Backlinks are definitely a factor, but E-E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) is a broader concept.

First to comment. This is nice. My site went down from couple of month and i have a applied rank math pro . Yet nothing happened.
Hello,
Please note that ranking on Google depends on so much more than just your on-page optimization. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:
1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂
backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors
We would recommend that you keep at it and work on acquiring more links to break into the top SERPs. Here are some useful article to help you.

We have over 1000 coffee spam links from 1000 different sites.. it floods us. Is this an attack from a competitor or why is coffee flooding our backlinks?
Hello, thank you for your comment.
1000 coffee spam backlinks flooding your site could be accidental (spam comments, directory adds) or a competitor attack. Analyze links: check source, spam score, relevance. Disavow bad ones through Google Search Console if required. Consider a security scan and backlink monitoring. Seek help from an SEO or security expert for deeper investigation and action.

What is anybody dont use rank math?
Hello, and thank you for your comment.
The topic covered in this video goes beyond Rank Math and WordPress. So for websites that don't use Rank Math, we recommend using Google Search Console to dive deep into the data to identify patterns.
We also have a dedicated page that lists the details of Google Algorithm updates that you can make use of to correlate with the patterns.

Its not easy NOT panic when your whole website business sink like Tiitanic in some weeks lol
Hello, thank you for your comment.
We can understand this, Google brings a new algorithmic update several times a month and the chances are great that your website will get hit by that.
If you are using Rank Math PRO, you can see if the drop in traffic co-relates to an algorithm update. Here's how:
