Seeing further drastical drop on Saturday. I stopped producing new content and updating the old content. There is no sense anymore for me, feeling awful to say that, but my website was fully destroyed with the "helpful" update.

The funny thing is that I rank number 1 on Bing for many of my posts with the main keyword. Even in front of very large sites with high domain authority and I can no longer be found on Google since these updates.

I think this is relevant to the October updates. Radical push of EAT over everything else.

It is the same policy rolled out in both YT and Google.com search. Good luck growing the young audience with all this drop dead boring legacy media stuff.

Boosting forums and (some) UGC was supposed to mitigate this but those two are counter to each other. You can't boost Priority Publishers and UGC at the same time. You have to choose whether you want to be cable news 2.0 or the organic Web.
