I tracked 54,402 sites through the November Core Update

I started tracking the traffic data for 54,402 websites at the start of Google’s November Core update, which finished rolling out on December 5th.

The websites I tracked were all monetized with Mediavine, Raptive, or Amazon Associates.

There was some moderate movement. More than we saw during the August Core update, but still much less than the September HCU and March Core update.

Before I get into the data, I wanted to let you know that today’s sponsor is very interesting. They’ll submit your startup to 100+ directories such as Crunchbase and AlternativeTo. Great way to get lots of foundational links and boost your DA/DR. Not to mention the direct traffic these platforms can drive!
