Well, now we are seeing it. Make sure to check Google Search Console to see if Google has taken any manual action on your site and also check your traffic as well as Google Search to see whether your site may have been deindexed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No official confirmation yet.<\/strong> Google has not announced anything publicly about this action. I\u2019ve reached out to see if they will confirm and will update the story if I hear back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>U.S. manual actions.<\/strong> Google began penalizing sites under its (then) new search spam policies in March 2024. This was announced at the same time as the March 2024 Google core update, which Google\u2019s Elizabeth Tucker called the biggest core update ever at SMX Advanced last year. <\/p>\n<p><strong>About manual actions.<\/strong> Websites that Google takes manual action are reviewed by humans \u2013 they are not given algorithmically. According to Google: <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cGoogle issues a manual action against a site when a human reviewer at Google has determined that pages on the site are not compliant with\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/essentials\/spam-policies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google\u2019s spam policies<\/a>. Most manual actions address attempts to manipulate our search index. Most issues reported here will result in pages or sites being ranked lower or omitted from search results without any visual indication to the user.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper.
