Today is day 10 of the Google March 2024 Core Update rollout and Google March 2024 Spam Update. Core updates were released on his March 8th and 9th, and it is believed that there was a possibility of recovery or fluctuation on March 12th. Signs of change in Google search rankings are now more likely to be related to today's core and spam updates.
Don't forget the huge number of manual actions released about 9 days ago.
That said, as of Friday, March 15th, we are starting to see signs of even more fluctuations and volatility in the rankings. This can be related to both core and spam updates.
Google said the core update will update multiple systems during the month's rollout. So maybe another system has been updated?
These signs are seen both in third-party Google Rank tracking tools and in the proliferation of conversations within various SEO communities.

This is some of the early conversations I saw this morning in WebmasterWorld, Black Hat World, and the SEO community commented here. It's still early so I hope more comments will be shared…
The traffic continues to collapse and at this rate it will be zero within a week. You just need to decide if your site is spam or useless. It's definitely worse than the sites in front of me that have automatic translations or paa.
We're experiencing wild fluctuations, with periods of heavy access followed by almost complete shutdowns. It's completely unnatural.
This is the result of extremely greedy American corporations gaining such control over the profits of millions of companies around the world, while imposing their own Google tax on the entire internet.
Pretty wild days. His 80% of the ranks disappeared below her 100, but was reinstated a few days later. It was then put back into the tank.
Although we use automation for text generation, it is based on data tools that ensure temporal accuracy of the data. The text itself is helpful, and the user metrics are excellent. The native speakers who participated in the live test had no idea that there was any automation going on. Our site only has 3-5 posts per week and has a total of 700 pages. In a quarterly rolling cycle, we publish 410 old articles that have no value or traffic from readers. This is far from spam. This site has no AI content.
What's most interesting is that while the articles that editors edited for better automation ranked lower, many articles without automation still ranked. This is a niche project, and in some segments there are only 1-2-3 sites covering this topic, and we only touch on it briefly in a different context. Currently, Serps looks like random content. It's far from useful.
Excluding text automation makes no difference. Manually create 3-5 articles with the same content each week. I don't understand where the problem is.
It's already happening on my side and it's Friday morning. The last 24 hours have been terrible.
Tomorrow is Friday.I'm hoping for another big shuffle.
For the second time, the site lost all keywords above the top 100. March 9th and 14th.
Have you noticed any big shuffle happening this Friday?
