So what you're actually saying is that anyone who gets extra G traffic with this core update is lazy or just a cheater.

If you think that webmasters from agregator sites are not working on their seo, you really don't know what you're saying. A tube site doesn't make its content either. Google itself doesn't make it's content either ... (while they have +120.000 full time employees)

The google traffic you had before is NOT YOUR TRAFFIC. It may feel like that because you got it for years, but it's not YOUR traffic.

Tip: Just keep working on your SEO. Just creating new content is not good enough.

Yes well then it's not YOUR traffic either bro.

This update rewards the very people Google supposedly does NOT want rewarded. Make your sites relevant, good for surfers, good content, updates....nah! Just spam the right long tail keywords via Fivrrr hajis and BAM you too can be a porn king! :disgust

You are 100% right.

It is not mine either and it will always be fighting for a piece of the pie.

I have been doing porn online since 1998 and in all those years I have never known that everyone is happy after a google update.

There are always winners and losers.

BTW ... <<Make your sites relevant, good for surfers, good content, updates>> ... Well thats "all" I did (I never spam anything). And I must say I have good results with this update.

So be it. May 2020 Google update is the new normal.

I lost 40% of my "G" traffic like everyone else.

I remember I think it was March 2018 when Google had an update that resulted in adult sites showing up in the results for adult-related keywords. It was great and us webmasters were out of a multi year rut as "G' wasn't giving us much for a long, long time (many years).

Now they've reverted?

I know it's bad for us in adult and so it's easy for me to say the update is shit, but it doesn't make sense that when people search for terms that are adult-related like sex cams, milfs, public nudity, porn etc, that they give mainstream results. Sure some people are doing research or looking for info on those terms but in all seriousness most of the time they are looking for porn, and that's obvious. So, it's shit for the surfer too.

I think that is March 12, 2019

There have been clusterfucks and rollbacks with Google before so let's hope this is the case now. G staff being quarantined probably also has a negative synergy effect. What you mention is, probably a "bug". So let's see if Google fixes it or not thereby setting things right again. :helpme

It's simple, older inactive sites ranks up and newer active sites rank down. Google revenue went down because of coronavirus so they rank down newer and active sites so active webmasters use adwords more and make google shareholders happy.

Perhaps there was another one then in 2019 too, but I wrote it down as March 2018 because I remember a thread like this one on GFY where everyone posted and talked about the traffic they had gained.

Hopefully. I googled a few adult terms and found some lame galleries in some instances outranking established sites including tubes. There's no way those sites are what surfers are looking for. And about G staff being quarantined, I thought of that too, about how effective they really are that way.

Let's cross our fingers.

Perhaps (and I don't doubt it honestly) but that would mean some of my older sites, online since 2008 or so, would be ranking. But they're not.

Traffic seems to just be down, across the board, a percentage of every site's traffic. In previous G updates some sites went up, others down, some stayed the same, it was all over the place. This one just seems down. :(

PS: It's also Memorial Day Weekend in the US so most people will be going out somewhere after going crazy being locked up for two months. Let's see how June goes.

In last 24-48 hours we have lost another good chunk of traffic... searching for sex term and amazon links comes up including some other book publishers and news articles....

That's exactly what I'm seeing as well. Once exclusively sex terms are now being flooded with mainstream content. It is absolutely fucked.

I see it too.Mainstream sites ranking for something like deepthroat
(Content?...no,nothing,nada about deepthroat in the content) , but ranks.

I got rankings back nearly 90%.

Here the real winner

What date did it start to come back?

Around 23 / 24 may

Thanks. just checked and mine hadn't yet. Hopefully soon.

I run about 120 adult websites. The ones with many pops, ads and spam went incredible high and got up to 3times more traffic. The clean white hat SEO sites lost massive.

There was a big update yesterday with rumors saying it's a partial rollback of May's core update.

Either way, the winners of that core update from last month were free sites. I was checking SimilarWeb after May stats went online and regardless of niche and size, it seems like most paysites lost lots of SEO traffic (not counting brand name searches).

Hundred up-your-ass-dates ? ?

Why Google doesn't have better things to do :)

Weird..... my Google traffic seems about the same ( 1,000 +/- uniques/day) but my bandwidth dropped about 30 %. Could there by any correlation ?

This is my experience as well.
