One of the googlers was asked that and he claimed that all sites get treated the same, adult and mainstream. Now, should we trust him..... that is a whole different story.

This is the true question really. If you were checking adult serps a month ago and further in the past, you probably noticed that there are barely any adult results. Whatever adult query resulted in maybe first page of porn results and the rest were heavily diluted with google books, mainstream news and such.

That would mean that google actually does a good job in classifying adult site as adult site and ALL adult ones had a penalty of some sort, just to reduce it's rank in order for mainstream results to rise in (coz, mainstream makes them money).

NOW, situation is different and adult serps are indeed adult, 90% porn across all pages.
That switch was sudden and could also be the reason why current adult related results are a big awkward :)

C'mon, you can all stop with your kosher krap.

Google is Jewish. It believes that the Palestinians should be ethnically cleansed, and that the goyim should be subjugated. Your "arguments" are clearly for public entertainment only, because you're all on the same team and Google surely knows it.

Bump...... some sites are doing better, some worse on my end. Revenue about the same.

Opinions?

After getting 2x traffic spikes from google over March, my 100% english, responsive, functional website is so far down that I'm getting 2x more baidu traffic than google :)

I can't go further down unless they kill me for "site name" searches as well :1orglaugh

I still see a shitload of unknown and new sites all over popular results and according to semrush and such, those sites spiked insanely, from 300 to 1300% traffic rising in March.

So anyway, I'm still hoping for a correction update that will solve this mess :1orglaugh

My traffic went up about 20% and is now back to where it was. Seems a large update was implemented then slowly tweaked or rolled back.

If you wonder why most (not all) API sites do not rank well, the reason is that Google consider them as "copied content" ;)

Bah. A lot of sites can rank well using APIs.... even those whitelabel cam sites... you just need to be smart enough... last week I saw on semrush a 60k traffic whitelabel site on google

I said most, NOT all.
We need to improvise our sites to survive in this game :D

Serpometer is very high today.

I took a big loss.

What about you?

Yes, something is happening again :)
https://www.seroundtable.com/google-...ate-25587.html

Anyone seeing serps full of all kinds of shits?

I'm looking at popular queries:
sex videos
porn videos

Stuff like that. I'm currently even seeing big ones (pornhub, xhamster) gone in favor of some brand new (mostly shitty) tubes that popped up.

Are you kidding me ?

Yep, I noticed that domain too

I'm only waiting on this Thommy smartass to come in and say that sexindia.xxx is way better than 99% of other sites :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Dude thommy probably owns sexindia.xxx

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I see an increase from the latest update but I have a feeling it won't last long.

from search engine view he is doing a few things much better than others.
but don´t worry - I will not be smartass and tell you WHAT it is.

maybe you feel better living in the thought that google is a conspiracy against your sites :-)

Never said it's a conspiracy. Hell, I'm not even worried about all this. :1orglaugh

I just see it's some AI algo shit in its early stages ;)

saw another big boost the last 2 days
same pattern on the majority of the sites in this network

I think what they're doing right now is removing the notorious March update. Given the deplorable results, it was expected.

Nah, nothing is being removed. This is probably some brand new algorithm that is in it's early stages of implementation.

sexindia.xxx and mzansi.porn are still riding strong :1orglaugh

also.. seems like xhamster got moved down on a lot of popular queries

Yeah there was a confirmed Google update this Monday https://searchengineland.com/google-...er-week-296600

hey guys, any news ?

he's still on the first page, I think this "update" is not yet finished

For the beginning, that guy has almost perfect page optimization for a keyword sex videos (if that is a keyword you are looking at). If someone tells him to add an h2 tag that he missed as one of the most important SEO elements, expect to see him even higher. Anyway, he will go down eventually because of very low DA. Need to mention that I didn't check other top 9 competitors and their work to be sure because I would never waste time fighting for so competitive keyword.

that´s what i said. this guy is doing a lot of correct onpage SEO.
he is not perfect but he can be that high because most competitors are not better or worse.

Agree. I've noticed what you said after I've posted. This thread is a classic example of people not understanding and having knowledge of the subject and as always, the next step is blaming Search engines. They are actually very precise (in most of the cases) and just following own recommendations. Indian guy has the knowledge and he put effort and got the results. What he couldn't do fast is getting links but he is probably working on that while people are complaining.

there is nothing to add on that.

I agree about SEO. But does not deserve higher ranking than hasmter, phub etc

Recovery in Progress. Google is not mad at my site anymore i guess! Took 6 month to recover from that update :1orglaugh :thumbsup
