    I’m nine minutes into this video and I just had to stop it to tell you that this is such good information. It goes beyond the usual SEO and keywords, ETC. and I also like how you tied in using ahrefs, because sometimes when using ahrefs I may only use one or two things. so you’re now educating me on how to get even more value from the software. Which that value I can use to help my clients even more.

    Asides from drop in traffics, how else can I tell if my site was affected by this?

    Ahrefs has the google HCU also affected your business? I for one was going to buy AHrefs and pay the pro fee, but decided not to as niche sites are dead. Has the general sentiment impacted your subscriptions?

    Hey Ahrefs team, I’m currently ranking on the 4th page of Google. What steps should I take to improve my ranking and break into the top 10?

    It’s scary to see how dependent we are all from Google. Good to see that traffic is recovering, good luck!

    Thanks for the video. So what are the findings? The hard facts? Can someone summarize this?

    (I think Google is completely out of control – they are throwing themselves into the fight to shut down AI blogs, but they are also hitting many others who are doing it with power and passion. The crash of the project in the video shows it: from thousands of visitors to 0 – and no, that is not justified or normal!)

    Google wrecked Video Chat A Pro. But I figured put how to overcome it. November was ruthless and then March thru May was even worse. Google does not like competition they have suppressed us because they are worried. How can I meet you to show you what Google did
