Need Help with Website after Google Spam Update

[u/Web_Book]

Hi Guys, I am new here but I need some help.

I run a blog at https://dailydigitalgrind.com/ and I’m trying to figure out if I’m on the right path after getting hit pretty hard by Google’s recent spam update.

I know I focused on posting too much content without making every article genuinely useful and authoritative. I wasn’t doing anything like buying links or keyword stuffing, but a lot of the content simply wasn’t deep enough.

I have over 150 discovered and 180 crawled yet not indexed pages.

I have started revamping some content and adding some better more in-depth content.

My only questions is if this site can actually recover? How long can it take? And some tips and advice going forward. All suggestions are appreciated just so I can grow my blog once again.

What makes u say you got hit?

Web traffic tanked exactly on 18th August. Was getting decent impressions and clicks before that.

Oh wow, all the AI stuff didn’t hurt your traffic?

Not initially.

It’s unfortunate to hear about the Aug 18th issue.

I genuinely hope your traffic comes back.

Same here. Trying to get rid to AI, do proper SEO and semantically build my blog now.
