Google SERP Changes & Algorithm Updates - March 2020

GA is reporting a whole wrong set of data. I am seeing people visting my site through clicky but there is no one visting my site according to GA real time reporting's.

Its been like this since Monday. Apparently, we don't rely solely on analytics.

Anybody seeing any increased level of bug activity? It started last night. And this morning many of our sites are practically flooded with them. Now, I am wondering whether a major update is headed our way?!

I am seeing it too @white knight. But I don't think any major update is coming!! This has been normal for us since the month started. Once every after few days this occurs.

Traffic is to rise. Because more and more people are being quarantined within rooms or their houses what else they do have to do at the meantime!!



And also I am seeing a trend here. Sites with medical attaches or something similar are replacing normal sites in the SERP's.

Something did happened on between Monday and Wednesday. Here is the data from Mozcast and SEMrush.

The virus effect has finally hit us. Today we saw a drastic fall in traffic in many site's stats.

For us its been like this since the last weekend. Probably Google is trying to produce another update in all this.

Yesterday was not all bad for us. But today it is. The morning traffic did came. But then the drag started.

Today is Sunday and traffic is coming today, I can see. Lets hope it will stay.

Not just plain traffic but bot traffic is also high. I am seeing around 25% kw increased in search visibility but almost 15-10% decrease in normal CTR.
