The Chinese traffic is messing with everything. Although they are only 5% of the total volume.
And also now recovering from positions.

One thing I am noticing that the people who are least effected are the ones which this update was really about.
You just stole my words.
Now G is ending traffic to non-existent pages. They are showing 404. But G doesn't care.

GSC was down. So, many new pages are not indexed yet.
But in our cases old pages aren't much of any issue.
Traffic is not looking good people. Since the last 4 days. Traffic is either 10-20% down.
Kw's are also fluctuating. Meanwhile, some old kw's are getting much of a direct traffic.
Currently I am relying only of ad traffic.
Google is unreliable.

They are in check. Traffic doesn't exceed a certain amount.
But the problem is that they mess up the page eCpm rates.
Thai traffic is also bad but unlike Chinese they atleast turn sometimes.
Exactly mate that's the real problem sometimes. We don't expect non-English traffic yet they come and mess up everything.
G intentionally does this. I am having this feeling.
Much worse than other weekend. Traffic is really slow on every scale.
Meanwhile, direct traffic have increased in percentage.
Same here in our case. Direct traffic is compensating for all of the other. Long tail kw's are gone now after this G updates. So, have to determine other options of quick traffic.
