🚨 1、 List of "Clues" Signals Before Power Reduction

1. Frequent fluctuations in keyword rankings

  • The originally stable main keywords fluctuated violently in the short term, such as:

    • Today's homepage → Tomorrow's page 3 → Coming back the day after tomorrow

    • Ranking shows a roller coaster trend

  • hazard level: ⚠️ centre

  • describeSearch engines are testing/reevaluating the trustworthiness and content quality of your page


2. Abnormal changes in the number of entries

  • Normal website indexing should have a steady and slow growth

  • If you find:

    • Sudden decrease in inclusion (especially when old content is deleted)

    • Site map not included after being pushed

  • hazard level: ⚠️ tall

  • describeThe content has been judged as low-quality or duplicate by search engines, which may have triggered quality algorithms


3. Decreased grasping frequency

  • View log tools or Baidu Webmaster/GSC data

  • Recently, there have been:

    • Baidu/Google crawling frequency significantly decreases

    • Originally crawled dozens/hundreds of times a day → turned into single digits or even stopped

  • hazard level: ⚠️ tall

  • describeSearch engines may 'decrease interest' in your website or be negatively labeled


4. Increased bounce rate and decreased dwell time

  • Use Baidu Analytics and GA to view certain core pages:

    • Bounce rate>80%

    • Average dwell time<20 seconds

  • hazard level: ⚠️ centre

  • describePoor user behavior indicators mean that the page content cannot meet the search intent and may be judged as low-quality by the system


5. External links have been downgraded or invalidated

  • Monitoring of external links:

    • The main external link website has been penalized (downgraded)

    • The friend link page has been nofollowed, deleted, or redirected

  • hazard level: ⚠️ Medium to high

  • describeOnce there is a problem with the dependency external chain, your weight will be affected


6. More internal anomalies (dead links, advertisements, incorrect codes)

  • The site appears:

    • A large number of dead links 404

    • Pop up ads obscure the main content

    • Hacked advertising page/medical/gambling content

  • hazard level: ⚠️ tall

  • describeThe algorithm will consider your website to be "out of control" and affect trust ratings


🔬 2、 Practical monitoring methods: How to perceive the signal of weight reduction in advance?

✅ 1. Utilize webmaster tools for real-time monitoring

toolMonitored content
Baidu Webmaster ToolsInclusion, indexing, crawling exceptions, dead links, mobile adaptation, indexing exceptions
Google Search ConsoleCoverage status, capture frequency, abnormal notification, manual penalty reminder
5118/Love Station/Webmaster's HomeKeyword ranking trends, loss of external links, and fluctuations in vocabulary size
Log Analysis ToolDistribution of spider crawling frequency, status code, and page visit frequency

✅ 2. Establish a "downgrade warning system" (suggestion)

Regularly review the following 5 data changes every week:

indexmonitor modeWarning threshold
Total amount includedBaidu Webmaster/Google Search ConsoleDecrease by more than 10% for three consecutive days
Main keyword rankingAhrefs/5118Within a week, more than 5 words or core words have fallen out of the top 10
Capture frequencyLog/GSC/Baidu ToolsSignificant decrease of over 50%
bounce rateBaidu Analytics/GAContinuous increase exceeding 10%
External link abnormalityAhrefs/Baidu External Link AnalysisSuddenly losing a large number of external links or anchor texts unrelated

🛠 3、 Response strategy: Take early action to prevent demotion of power

Warning signs of problemsPriority operation
Ranking fluctuationsUpdate page content to enhance semantic relevance; Reduce keyword stuffing; Enhance internal chain stability
Capture reductionSubmit new site map, fix dead links, ensure site opening speed and server status are normal
Decreased inclusionImprove the originality and readability of page content, and avoid a large number of identical pages; Strengthen internal chain orientation
Poor user experienceReduce advertisements and pop ups to enhance page readability; Clear content structure; Add videos/charts to enhance attractiveness
External link lossBuild more natural reference external links, stop relying on "junk links", and actively reject junk external links (Google Disavow)

📌 Summary: Downgrading power does not happen suddenly, it must have "precursors"

Remember three sentences:

  1. Ranking fluctuations ≠ weight reduction, but frequent fluctuations are early signals

  2. Crawling frequency and indexing volume are barometers of search engine interest

  3. Content quality+external link quality+user experience, synchronization of the three is truly secure
