Significant Traffic & Revenue Losses

According to Nuttall’s analysis, the 837 deindexed sites accounted for over 20.7 million organic search visits per month before the manual action. The sudden loss of traffic is devastating for the impacted websites. Further, the deindexing is estimated to result in a monthly loss of $446,552 displayed advertising revenue across the affected sites.
