Old-timer SEO tips ftw for new SEOs:
1. Don’t brag about earnings or results in public.
2. Don’t out SPAM publicly in your niche (Sites Positioned Above Mine).
3. Don’t follow the SEO Herd as the Herd spoils everything (or get rope-a-doped).
4. Don’t make Google look stupid.
Google Search Console finally shows up-to-date reporting (since Sept 16 2023) after being delayed ten days.

Harsh = A URL
If this March 2024 Google update genuinely caught you by surprise, or your left hating Google for torching your site, and you are feeling personally targeted - you are following the wrong SEOs.
