Why the sharp decline in Google indexing?

Featured Imgs 11

Hi there,
I do SEO for my website, and I found the indexed pages declined too much from around 4,000 to no more than 2,000. I had searched for many reasons online, but many of them are superficial. Could you tell me the steps to find out the reason and solve them?
Best regards,
Thanks

Google as a tool to search for information is getting worse.

I f***ing hate Google anymore. 5 years ago you would have searched that and found a definite answer and guide on how to find your password. I'm gonna guess you got a bunch of poorly written articles from strange websites that weren't actually helpful?

I'm not the only one seeing Google's decline as a search engine or place to find information.
Not to pull any punches here, ChatGPT is blowing up the idea you go to ye olde link purveyor along with Reddit doing what they do as well.

The fallout from this is enormous as it threatens to tear up the ideas of SEO and ranking. Why bother with a google search when you have alternatives? Yes I've read where humans, AI, Reddit can get it wrong but Google has been moving away from being a good way of finding information for over a decade.

If there's anything good about ChatGPT is that it has the Google founder's attention as a credible threat and they are back at work.
Too bad their first reveal (Google Bard) was a flop.

Average response time jump

Featured Imgs 11

On Tuesday, November 15th, the average response time (ms) in the Crawl stats section of my Google Search Console skyrocketed. It's been slowly coming back down since, but I was wondering if something changed outside my control that may have caused this anomaly. I'm still working on getting to the bottom of it, and was just curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing around the same time?

Is this good practice for SEO?

Featured Imgs 11

Just came to my mind this and i like to ask others about it. So i have website that have auto generated content on the pages.
The text it self is all the same but only some variables changing like (names, tags, pictures). So i was wondering is it good practice for SEO purposes, to make the text content change for some KEY keywords.
For example.
DaniWeb was founded in 2002 by Dani, who, at that time, was pursuing a computer science degree on Long Island, New York, and began gaining widespread attention throughout the search engine optimization industry in 2005.

On the second refresh to be something like this.
DaniWeb is founded in 2002 by Dani, which was pursuing a computer science degree on Long Island, New York and started to gain widespread attention throughout the SEO industry in 2005.

The above is just an example to get my point.

But i have on my website key keywords that users will search on google.
I plan to do this in the title & text also. But as i said only for some KEY keywords
Keyword: [UPDATED] -> [NEW], [LATEST], [RECENTLY]
Keyword: [LEAKED] -> [LEAKS], [HACKED], [HACK]
and so on...

rel=”ugc” vs rel=”ugc,nofollow”

Featured Imgs 11

According to this page we switched links within our forum posts from using rel="nofollow" to rel="ugc". However, Do you think that it makes sense to use rel="nofollow,ugc", or is the nofollow part already implied? Does anyone have any anecdotal evidence as to whether they've noticed a real world difference between the two?

My brand is not ranking number one anymore

Featured Imgs 11

I used to rank my brand as number one ranking for many years. Two years ago, I closed Google Business Profile for a year, reopened the profile, and verified it. I no longer rank number one with my brand and have no manual penalties.

My domain is the exact keyword match, and I used it for over eight years, but I got beaten by the other domain whose page and domain authority are higher than mine. We are not in the same industry and share only the first word in the domain. In addition, their home page contains little text.

Do you have any suggestions for me to make a comeback, SEO Experts?
