Well the Google March core update is almost over and my travel blog, that I have worked so hard on has almost disappeared from search. Honestly, I’m devastated. It feels very unfair, but hopefully I can keep inspiring you to travel through social media

@searchliaison @dannysullivan @JohnMu A few years ago I traveled to Peru and wrote the first guide for Huchuy Picchu, which was a newly opened hike at that time. My blog post ranked #1 on Google for years, which makes sense, because I did the hike myself and other Peru websites

@searchliaison @dannysullivan my site has been decimated by the Sept HCU and even worse now. I look at the content that is now ranking above me, I just don’t get how my site could have fell so low. I write detailed travel guides. Is there even a chance of recovery?

Unpopular opinion- I often see creators doing posts/ stories without disclosing it is paid, sponsored, or gifted. As a creator, I know what it is, but most consumers won’t besides the fact it’s technically illegal to not disclose it. If you have been paid or gifted… disclose it.

Upon checking some larger reputable travel sites, I’ve noticed that most sites have gone down in this update. It’s sad to see in the travel space in general. I’ve also noticed Rick Steve’s travel forums have gone up. So travel has 3 forums to battle.

@lilyraynyc Yikes. I hope my travel site didn’t fall into that. I don’t have Spain lol. I appreciate your honesty. I think every site can have some “unhelpful” info. I think keyword researching tools can be a bit to blame for that, or looking at what was ranking and making sure to cover it.
