US traffic is bouncing like heck.

These days the normal ones with no updates are more troublesome.

The SG traffic is back.

They are not back. They are just bots. Flooding everything.

AI bots will be done soon I am hearing things.

Fluctuations like crazy. Traffic is low but doing fine. But these SG bots are just bad news.

Has anybody looked into different metrics other than analytics? Those things might shed some light.

Bots are everywhere. But clicky is showing decently.

My website was performing really well until December 2025, but then its rankings suddenly dropped. At the moment, I am getting traffic from Bing and other search engines, but my site is not showing properly on Google Search.
I have been following Google’s guidelines and am also working on building backlinks, although I currently have only a few. I would like to understand how long it usually takes for a website to recover and start appearing in Google Search again.
Also, can anyone suggest good ways to get high-authority backlinks for my website?

At this point no amount of quality backlinks can guarantee anything. You just focus on content. SEO is stretched heavily due to AI. Once this hype is over then you can do a proper analysis.

@airdropbuzz Don't focus on backlinks now. Focus on content and what frequency are you producing them, if you can then protect them from AI as well.

Today SG traffic to normal ratio 1000:1 I mean you guys can imagine the destruction.
