Ask HN: Traffic drooped to 1/3rd after adding translation in 14 days
1 point by souvic 11 months ago | 1 commentMy site videodubber.ai had a healthy share of traffic with ranking of most pages between 10-20.
I added spanish translations to the 33000 pages (mostly 'translate x_language video to y_language' landing pages) that we had and removed some textual content on July 7th.
Traffic dropped from 900 to 650 per day.
Then, I added some helpful content adding how my product can help translate one language to another on July 19th.
Traffic dropped to 350 from 600.
Now, I got the previous slim content back thinking that probably user intent was hit. Google crawled my pages on July 23rd.
I see further drops in traffic to 300.
What is happening seriously?
2-3 backlinks also got added in between.
Traffic continues to decline.
Ask me any additional details. I will provide.
