This is the first time I have gone through a major Google algo update as I am fairly new to affiliate marketing. My site has dropped from position 5 on page 1 to position 1 on page 3 for a very competitive search term. For other search terms I have held page 1 for a couple, and a few others I have dropped down again.
What happens after an update?

This is the first time I have gone through a major Google algo update as I am fairly new to affiliate marketing.
My site has dropped from position 5 on page 1 to position 1 on page 3 for a very competitive search term. For other search terms I have held page 1 for a couple, and a few others I have dropped down again.
SEMRush is now only reporting 16 keywords - last month it was reporting ranking positions for nearly 500. Last month (before the update anyway) it valued my search traffic at $80,000 - now it's ranking it at $18!
Should I expect this position to move about over the coming days as the algo kicks in, or is it generally once it's run that's it - that's where you are now.
I hope that moving to the top of page 3 is a position from where I can recover, I guess it could be worse but for what I do if you're not on page 1 then really there's no point.
What are your thoughts on this, is some movement after a major update normal?
Cheers
