Google Is Bipolar - Proof

On September 24th, 2019 Google did a core algorithm update that really hit one of my websites hard... knocking about 50% of the traffic I had off.

And that's what I was focused on when I went yearly--saving money.But I Think The Biggest Benefit Is Making Money--By FarWho knows if I would have ever "made it" i
