March 2024:
🔥 Chaos without borders - everywhere and everyone affected
📉 Huge drops in rankings on blogs, affiliate sites and even famous brand pages
😱 SEO the community exploded - Twitter turned into a panic room
March 2025:
🎯 A more precise strike - more selective, not sweeping everything in turn
🤐 Fewer complaints, less noise
📉 But if you're stuck, you're stuck badly - up to 90% traffic losses
🤖 Additional chaos was caused by technical changes to HTML on 19-20 March, causing "fake" volatility in the tools
Briefly:
- March 2024 = A big bomb, no respite
- March 2025 = Precision strike, fewer casualties but deep scars for those affected
- Both updates can crash your traffic as if Google were trying to collect a debt
Moral:
✔️ Create content that actually helps the visitorand not just fill pages
✔️ UX should be simple and user-friendly - if a website is annoying, Google notices
✔️ Quick tricks and "black" tactics no longer work - long-term value wins
