I have huge oscillation of organic Google traffic for my dictionary website (https://poreklorecnik.rs). I have never seen anything like this for my other websites but the traffic goes up to 500-1k per day and then down to less than 100 per day. This has been going on for more than 3 weeks and I don't know what to do at this point
I had encountered similar things back in the day. So, there is also the situation where it might not be real organic traffic. You will wait and observe.
Those are not real visitors. Most likely AI companies scraping content. Block their ip ranges if you can. Don't bother blocking individual ips. There's this nifty ip checker I use - it's really good. It will tell you if the ip addresses are blacklisted: https://nerd.liberouter.org/nerd/ip/47.82.9.6
Yeah, I’ve had similar swings on one of my content sites — super frustrating when it tanks for no clear reason. What helped me a bit was setting up MGID. Even when the organic traffic dropped, at least I was still getting something out of the visitors I was getting. Plus, they have some traffic tools that can actually bring in some paid traffic if you want to smooth things out. Might be worth testing while Google figures out what it’s doing.
Oh man, I know the feeling — one day everything’s fine, the next it’s like Google forgot I exist. MGID was a solid fallback when that happened to me too. Even with lower traffic, at least I was still getting some revenue flowing. Their native ads fit in well with my content, and the traffic tools actually helped bring in some paid visitors to balance things out. Glad to see I’m not the only one riding the rollercoaster!
Same question, the same situation happens with my electronic components mall, https://www.origin-ic.com
Likely, it was this; frustrating, but not uncommon. I actually heard a similar story recently, maybe last month
Fluctuations in organic traffic are more common than most realize. They can stem from Google algorithm updates, technical issues (like broken links or slow load times), or even content cannibalization. It’s smart to monitor Google Search Console and Analytics closely—look for patterns tied to specific pages or keywords. Also, check if competitors have ramped up their SEO efforts or if your backlinks have dropped off. Staying proactive with audits can help stabilize long-term performance.
