Hi Everyone,
I do not want to be the bearer of bad news about the August 15th announcement from John Mueller at Google, saying that they started the core update and it will last a month. Therefore, we will see some traffic volatility for the rest of the month until after mid-September.
Here is the announcement

What do you do about the core update? Nothing; keep going. It looks like they were working on the indexing issue. Give it some time. I hope they resolve it. I have two articles that have not been indexed since this issue.
I keep focusing on the socials I am working on; it is time-consuming to do it all. Depending solely on Google, organic unpaid traffic is no longer valid with Google, so I go somewhere else to get my content at other places like Medium, Linkedin, and Pinterest.
