Google Discover Traffic Drop On August 10th
https://www.seroundtable.comSince August 10th or so, there has been a number of publishers complaining that the traffic Google sends them via Google Discover has dropped off the cliff. Google did say they are investigating it but we have not hear back from them on the topic yet.
It is unclear what is the cause or if this is a bug or not. But a nice number of publishers are complaining that their Google Discover based traffic has literally went from a nice amount of traffic to zero traffic on August 10th. It has been over a month and there is no real improvement yet.
Here are two screenshots showing the Discover traffic situation that coincided with the 8/10 indexing bug. Just the US and UK flatline there, while other countries are fine. The site owner reached out to me since this was very strange based on their history with Discover. https://t.co/FVndwBEIQi pic.twitter.com/1Y61vNfN1s
