I started my site in Januari of 2021 and after three months my visitors have decreased by 90%
It's a Wordpress site with a Yoast SEO plugin and connected to google analytics.
My stats have been suppressed in my opinion.
I am creating new content but Google is no hurry to index it and it feels like I'm under attack.

You must make sure you are entering the sandbox. You can search Google by typing the following word.
site:mysite.com
If the result comes out, the situation is not bad, your site is indexed
The other is that you may be under attack. You can see malicious sites that give you backlinks through this website (Google Search Console does this too)

I created a hugo ssg blog for my mother which is hosted on netlify. The intent of blog was just to keep her busy during pandemic, therefore, it's just lists of articles. No like/dislike, no comments, no other functionalities. Only JS included is Google and Bing Analytics.
I was going through analytics and found random fbclid urls in page visits. After some research I followed advice from this stackoverflow page and stopped worrying. After few months, I see bots visit on /fblogin.htm. Remember,I have not added anything related to FB on the site. There is no fblogin.htm on the site, There is no sharing of blog post on fb. I have no idea why bots from facebook would look for a non-existent page on the site. Is it because of <meta og:...> tags in head? Can someone explain to me what is happening here and should I be worried about it? I occasionally get random spikes of 5-15 visits from china, turkey, finland or some other random country via these fb bots. Should I be concerned?
fblogin.htm should be explored, however fbclid is a parameter that Facebook hangs when you click on a post in Facebook that leads to your site.
So if the link to a page of your site is on Facebook (i.e. in a post) and someone has clicked on it, you will find that parameter in Google Analytics append to the landing page.
IMHO you need to be precise about 'few family members' and 'we tell them on phone' - are you sure how this was shared between them? is anyone Whatsup user or was this shared via Xiaomi or other China phone ? Also if the blog is not password protected those Facebook variables could just be used by the bots to mimic human behaviour
I recently opened up my google analytics and looked at the behavior panel all pages in depth for the first time and I noticed some strange pages such as:

I removed the client value and some other fields and replaced with REMOVED for anonymity purposes but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it's malware.
I have a site that uses wordpress in the cloud and I have scanned with wordfence saying that my site is clean.
Was wondering if I should look deeper, or if this behavioral page is normal.
Amobee and Flashtalking are both advertising platforms, so it looks somebody has configured advertising tags incorrectly. Probably those clicks should be routed through the respective platforms (e.g. to record data for bid management or something like that) and instead they go directly to your page with redirect Urls appended. If you do paid advertising then you should check with the people who configured this for you.
My wife and I run a WordPress blog that utilizes the AMP plugin. AMP versions of posts are automatically created. Though I may have read somewhere that AMP caches can be shared with anyone, it did not occur to me until now that other sites can display our AMP content as a cached page of their site and we never get credit for the visit.
Just today, a blogger friend mentioned that she saw traffic in her Google Analytics from https://cdn.ampproject.org/v/www.mommypotamus.com/how-to-buy-a-non-toxic-mattress/amp/?amp_js_v=5
This is a cached version of our web page located at http://www.mommypotamus.com/how-to-buy-a-non-toxic-mattress/amp/
She is seeing referral traffic from a third party site containing our content. We have no Google Analytics record for this traffic or that third party page. So my question is:
Am I losing the credit for traffic passing through third party sites? And how are people even getting to them?
This matters because we just launched AdThrive ads on our site last week, and with mobile being approx 70% of traffic, we are losing money due to AMP. I realize that some ad networks are already compatible with AMP, but AdThrive is not, due to the fact that they employ real-time bidding on ad spots, which delivers maximum earnings to the publisher.
Maybe more sites are sharing cached versions of our AMP pages, but we know at least that Google Cache is doing so and AmpProject is doing so. How is that content tracked in GA? If it isn't, how is that supposed to be okay?
AMP is starting to feel like I've given someone permission to scrape all my content and outrank my actual site with my own content.
cdn.ampproject.org is a cache that belongs to Google. This cache is used for all views that happen in search and google news and many other apps including Bing etc. You are definitely not losing credit since they will all show you as the author and creator.
Two days ago we posted a new blog on a site with the aim of being picked up for the search term "live comedy in chippenham". It’s been indexed by Google and we’re now 2nd in the results for the search query. The bad news is that for some reason the post has been indexed as a https URL so all browsers give a warning when the link is clicked.
Firefox gives this error:
The owner of www.neeld.co.uk has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
The host has confirmed that it's not a server config error and we have other posts and pages on the site that are being indexed correctly. We're using WordPress and the Yoast plugin. I can't see anywhere in Webmaster Tools that could be causing the problem.
Can anyone offer any advice please? If you search Google for "live comedy in chippenham" you'll see the issue (it's the link https://www.neeld.co.uk/live-comedy-in-chippenham/)?
It's a really strange one but something I've experienced before.
It has mostly likely been caused by an external link to the page using https protocol which Google has followed before indexing the page. Google are very keen to index https pages at the moment so we might start seeing this kind of issue more often.
There's not a lot you can do other than wait for Google to realise their mistake and list the correct URL in the SERPS. You can help speed this along with a canonical link (which I can see is there), XML sitemap (which you've got) and a server level redirect of https to http.
Do not try to remove the page in Webmaster Tools as this won't have the desired effect and will stop Google reindexing the page properly.
Hope this helps.
As the title says. I have an ASP.NET web application that I published to my azure account. I did a little SEO and it should show up somewhere on the search engines but it doesn't.
It doesn't even show up if I type in the address in the search field. It works fine when typing the URL in address field.
My azure subscription is "Pay-as-you-go".
Any tips or answers are appriciated!
Thanks!
My answer mainly pertains to Google. How long have you waited? It's my experience that it takes a few days to a week minimum to start showing up (if you're using Google sign up for their web master tools and when you submit your site you can see when it's indexed and what pages are indexed which is important because they may skip content they deem is duplicated elsewhere whether it is or not). It's also my experience (using Azure) that sub domains on "azurewebsites.net" end up with poor SEO but if I have a full domain on my site it ranks much higher.
I also assumed that you submitted the site to the search engines, if you haven't site up for a web master account and do that (Bing and Google both have these).

In Google you can also search specifically for your site to see what comes back which will indicate that others can get to your stuff (even if it's buried 100 pages deep in other searches):
site:[your site].azurewebsites.net
