I Lost All My Google Traffic. ChatGPT Doesn’t Seem to Care

I did an SEO experiment in a very competitive niche.

Programmatic SEO. A few hundred pages, one template, shipped in a weekend.

For 5 months it worked. ~50 impressions a day and climbing 📈

Then two Google updates caught it.

The May 2026 core update started the slide. The June 2026 spam update finished the job.

Look at the right side of this chart 👇

Peak → single digits → 0. In three weeks. And it's stayed at 0 ever since.

Now trying to fix it to see if I can revive the site.

Interestingly, most of this site's traffic comes from ChatGPT.
