Last months Google updates have made adult queries so much worse for spam. The Internet archive's Google traffic is up 15 million per day because of it. St Andrews University in the UK is on the first page for "p*rn" because of a spam page and gained 12 million hits per day. Same goes for Pennsylvania Department of Transportation which is up 30 million per day And many more.. Seems like they reversed everything they fixed last year.

@yandex please bring back this selector when in comparison mode on the new Metrica update

@albertalbs @AlexejKirillov @googlesearchc It happened to me a few times, eventually it will come back. The site in the first screenshot gained some quality backlinks and it seems to have stopped randomly de-indexing for a while now.

@AlexejKirillov @googlesearchc Don't be happy about it. That's how it started for me. More clicks from Bing, not much from Google. Then suddenly, within one week, I saw a spike from Bing again and the next day, Bing blocked my website from indexing. I tried to reach their CS, but only received a templated meg.

Today we released the March 2026 core update. We'll update our ranking release history page when the rollout is complete: status.search.google.com/incidents/7eTb…

@googlesearchc You've made it worse, seeing an increase in cloaking sites on the first page since this completed. My traffic dropped yesterday because of it. It wasn't actually too bad before.

@CloudflareHelp Was there a problem with verified bot categories the other day? Google search was suddenly blocked for a while.

Still going pretty well

Recovery still going strong!

So someone created a "Proxy Site" that masks my domain, injects their own advertisements and replaces all of the links with their own domain. Google completely replaced my site with it which was top of the search results and de-indexed my homepage...

Looks like recovery has finally started for this domain over a year later. New pages are now being indexed and it's starting to rank for keywords that don't include the domain name.

😍

@ahmednabik I had exactly the same, I guess it was the spam update? Ollie Ryman on X: "Funny how the site I haven't updated or changed in over a year suddenly starts ranking again, but my active one doesn't. I swear it's just luck of the draw. " / X

Is there any core update running right now? Seeing lots of lost keywords reappearing across this HCU hit site.

Funny how the site I haven't updated or changed in over a year suddenly starts ranking again, but my active one doesn't. I swear it's just luck of the draw.

Something's happening on a couple of my shadowbanned sites with the spam update 👀

@googlesearchc 18th November 2023 I peaked at 120,803 clicks in one day. Today I'm down to 30 clicks. At least it can't get any worse for me 🙃

The Dec. 2024 core update is rolling out, and we expect it will complete in two weeks. If you're wondering why there's a core update this month after one last month, we have different core systems we're always improving. This past blog post explains more: developers.google.com/search/blog/20…

When Bing can't decide if you have enough backlinks yet or not

One year since I was shadow banned on Google. Current daily search engine traffic: Yandex: 50,000 Bing: 10,000 Google: 100 (only from people searching the domain name) 🤷‍♂️

@McDonaldsUK The burger section on the app has been broken on iPhones since the release of iOS 18. It freezes every time

@lilyraynyc @markthemagician i'm sure you can agree :)

@lilyraynyc Check out JustGiving traffic too, i'm convinced adult keywords have been broken since last year Ollie Ryman on X: "JustGiving is the new hotspot for spammers " / X

A teammate just sent me this. Look at the spam page ranking in top results for an ENORMOUSLY high volume keyword, and look at the domain it appears on. JFC.

@tehseowner Mine is the same in the UK
