This update made a huge problem in search results, Most of the sites went down 50% at least of their visits and don't tell me that my site is the problem, The spam websites are now in the first page due to your poor update !! I think you made a mistake this time Google !!

[williamhartono]

After core update, more and more spammy content going up

[pkbarnawal]

This ranking update cruelty hurt my blog website. Traffic reduced by 70%.

[DanSpeed]

The most important YouTube channel for your website business.

The Helpful Content Update was brutal on my carefully constructed website...traffic down over 50% 😝😝😝

[Eladhm]

My site on Google has disappeared from search. There was an article on the first pages with keywords, and now it does not appear at all. May I know what the solution is?

[Pixifox]

It is not an update is a disaster. This is a big mistake from google. More and more people are going to use bing. You looking for something and you find bad contents. The best contents does not appear at the fist position on serp.

[Cokion]

I was literally waiting for your video desperately!

Hey, John, I just wanted to say thanks for putting forth the effort to gather all of the useful information in one spot. I am having a lot of fun with these, and they are proving to be quite helpful.

[balanagendran]

Helpful content update is not really useful and helpful for users worldwide. Have to admit that.

[kavitakavsS]

Thanks for the update John! 😊

Wondering what impact we will see in the near future on our clients websites. 😢

[HolyTemplar]

Hey John, thank you for putting the effort into compiling all the helpful stuff in one place. Enjoying these alot and they are very useful.

This update was a disaster for my website. I had a big drop in organic traffic, which is my main form of income. I am desperate. I depend on my website to survive.

[pareshkhatri]

Where is the link of suggested articles?

[therachaeledit]

The RSS feed subscription button isn't working on Google Search Central. Is it possible to add in an email subscription form instead?

[mark-korvin]

This is the worst update ever, every time I try to update content, the page drops out of the top 100, and it's like this on all sites. So how to follow the rule that content should always be updated so as not to mislead the reader.

[SikanderZaman-lt]

But CSV file can be rank higher then a content because google sheets have the google domain authority

[Vasectomyjohn]

Can someone share the link to the cheese csv file?

[CarsCars-eqit]

This update means that my income has decreased drastically and the results are zero.
