Strategies to Recover Your Business From The Google HCU Update

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Basically I've put the site that was hit on pause and relied on sending other forms of traffic to it, most notably:

  1. Pinterest
  2. YouTube videos linking back to it
  3. Getting more rankings/traffic from the Bing search engine
  4. Making NEW sites that are currently doing pretty well on Google (and utilizing the same expansion strategies for the one that was affected by the HCU)

If you're currently experiencing similar issues with your website, refocusing your efforts on the above things can really help a ton and possibly even completely supplement/substitute the success your site was experiencing on google (and possibly even higher). That itself is a comforting feeling knowing that you are rebuilding, but perhaps to even greater results than before!
