Lately, I’ve been working on recovering sites from penalties.
I can say that aggressive monetization and the desire to make as much money as possible correlate with traffic drops.
If you monetize a site, at least leave 60% of pages unmonetized.
Obviously, there is no one-size-fits-all formula and cannot be, as it varies from niche to niche, but I’m sharing my data based on what I did.
Just write that damn info content already) At least half of the site for safety.
Here is an example of recovering from a penalty. So far, the results have been for other GEOs, not the US. For the US, everything is completely stagnant.
I’ll post an update as soon as there’s news.
