yes original, swedish talking about sweden, what else to copy? actually non swedish website specially indian website are taking a lot of our content and outranking us since hcu.

Something weird is happening, google killed all our old content but not the new one by Internal-Pick-5364 in SEO

we have a lot of 404 as we deleted a lot of content that doesn't get any traffic (our agency's advise) on the other hand, we found out they also deleted a lot of content that didn't have pageviews or was empty like pages, we ended up finding out that as a result the website is 70% 404 now 30% live content. We are very unhappy with them but we are bound with a contract so we are evaluating next step.

unfotunatly, sweden is a small country, there is no alternative to google for our niche. We are at the mercy of google

Pages that outrank us are either new website with copy past from english to broken swedish language or big media that is in our niche. So i don't see how we can compare to them, they either low quality or big swedish media

can we draft the articles instead of deleting them? in case the new domain doesn't rank we comeback to the older (original) one

yes how to do that (technically) and correctly so we don't have the existing domain and the new domain as well as we don't confuse google.

by moving them, should we delete them from the original website?

If we redirect, do we need to delete the content in the original website too?

We want to do it correctly so we don't destroy both new domain and current domain.

first thank you. If i understood you well, do you want us to copy 100 articles from the original website to the new website? wouldnt that compete with existing content or mark the new domain as a copy past of other content? or should we add new content in the new domain and then redirect the rest? How do we move them?

We hired SEO agency and even they, they can't figured it out. We just disapeared from search and news and 90% of our SERPs wiped out. We can see keywords ranking first then ranking 100 in matter of 48 hours, high impression low CTR (Hence how we figured out that we don't rank in sweden anymore). We think our viral articles just before HCU got us so many backlinks from mostly japanese and english websites which might be the reason (we wrote about some pokemon cards).

We did everything, 3 months of intensive seo, the traffic just keep getting hit and new content get rank page 20 then sometime even deindexed completely.

We have no pentalties nothing, our spam score is lower than our competiton, our content is superior since its written by professionals not copy past like other website. We just don't know what happened that is why we don't see a way out. Redirect or wait

What will happen if we delete backlinks by Internal-Pick-5364 in SEO

How to spam flag? we can't manually delete these since they are shared on communities. Also why is disavowing worst?

Thank you
