Kastytis
✅ Laikotarpis: kovo 13-27
- Impact: global, for all countries and languages
- Objective: Dump "genuinely useful" content
- Not a punishment: but if your website traffic dropped, you felt like you were being punished
🧨 What happened:
- The update was softer than in March or December 2024, but not everyone got away
- Some sites have lost up to 90% traffic
- Didžiausi svyravimai: kovo 15-17 ir 26 d.
- „Netikras“ volatilumas: kovo 19-20 d. (dėl HTML pakeitimų)
💡 What to do if your website is "hijacked":
- Don't panic and don't delete content in a panic
- Explore "Google Search Console" - which keywords came up?
- Emphasise quality, not quantity. Really useful content still wins over empty texts
- Recovery can take months, not days - sometimes even until the next Core upgrade
🔎 Final conclusion: If Google has decided that your website doesn't value visitor time, they won't hide it. There are 2 ways for you: fix it or forget it.
