Hey, thanks for your comment!
Nope, this article wasn’t written by AI – but by our awesome author, Scarlett. Every site mentioned here is her honest take and personal picks.
That said, we know the traffic for these sites might’ve changed since we first published the article. It’s been a while, and let’s be real – Google updates have shaken up a lot of pages this year.
Like most creators, we use SEO to ensure people can find our articles. So, if anything sounds a bit like AI gibberish, it’s probably just the SEO adjustments.
What sites would you include in this list? Are there any resources you follow and admire for their best practices?
Did AI write this whole article? This is such a random assortment of websites, and not all of them are even travel-related? There’s no consistency with the sites and a lot of these are very clearly not getting much traffic at all, or are very obviously not affiliate marketing-focused sites. And there’s a lot of gibberish in this article that sounds AI-generated. Really disappointed Travelpayouts would put this kind of content out there.
Recovery from these updates seems to be more of a long game. In the meantime, focusing on quality content and diversifying traffic sources might be the best approach. Hang in there!
I still haven't heard about any blogs which recovered (and I was also hit badly). I see that Katie's site also hasn't recovered (yet)...
I think we are still hoping that Google will reverse some of their core updates... Small & medium sized blogs seemed to be the most heavily affected, and we don't have yet a clear solution to recover after being hit...
Hi Clive!

Hi! Great article but I have a few comments and a question.
"While it’s currently limited to the iOS app"? This annotation is visible and has been live on my sites for quite a while in chrome and other browsers as you can see by the screenshot attached (Chrome).
From adsense. "Intent-driven formats. "Links, anchors or chips that are automatically placed on your page and show organic search results with search ads.""
These Intent-driven formats can be turned off in adsense settings globally or on an individual page. I have some sites showing them and others turned off. When I change the settings normally they take effect within a couple of hours and certainly not 30 days as mentioned in your article. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
Are you saying that even if I turn off the Intent-driven formats in my adsense settings they still appear by default in the Google app for iOS?
