My blog was approaching the 2-year mark and the traffic was going up, but then on December 3, 2020, it took a substantial hit, struggling to recover till this day.

Only today I found out that it was due to Google's December 2020 Core Update.

The niches that were affected the most are e-commerce and affiliate websites, which my blog happens to have both.

Anyone had a similar experience, if so, were you able to recover the traffic?
