honestly i think the problem is exactly that phrase "writing how Google prefers". google actually hates that now, they want natural content.. thats why ur old posts are recovering and new ones are stuck. dont try to trick the algo, just write naturally like u did before. quick tip: go to your old posts that have traffic and add links to the new ones. it helps push them. and 3 posts a day sounds like overkill if the quality drops, better do less but better.
When I started this thread, I wanted feedback on my posts from July, August, and September. Most of my older posts were dry, purely informational, basically Wikipedia summaries with unnecessary details removed. Later, in my blog section, I added narrative elements, but they were still mostly informational. My recent posts, however, are truly narrative. Some don’t even mention facts, they’re more like walking through a place, describing the experience. Others are informational narratives, combining storytelling with facts. I also reworked a few older posts, but only those with no traffic. I wanted feedback to see which narrative approaches work, which readers like. My last reply had nothing to do with the original post. I was just upset and wrote that it’s unfair that Google doesn’t seem to like my site. No matter how hard I try, the traffic doesn’t grow. Where does the traffic that used to go to my old posts suddenly disappear to? In the last two weeks, my traffic has clearly dropped. Even if it was sending traffic to older posts, why does it suddenly drop? And then after a few months, it recovers. It feels like Google sees that I’m improving the site, I reach some kind of limit, and as soon as I cross it, it cuts my traffic in half. That’s how it feels. The fact that my recent posts still have no traffic is because Google ignores posts from the last year or two. So I’ll only know how my new posts perform for Google in a year or more. That’s why I just wanted to get feedback from readers.
