   I see my jeans button fixing article has just got a featured snippet on Google. Views have jumped to 40 per day.

      Awesome.
      Is it on Discover or a network site?

         Discover. It'd be nice if Google was beginning to take notice of Discover and the increasing amount of new articles moved there, but I guess that's just wishful thinking.

            It's possible; I've noticed a slight uptick in views over the last 48 hours.

            According to SEMRush, Discover traffic is now on the rise after plateauing for a month. What happens at SEMRush isn't always reflected in my own traffic, though.
            
            It's possible that the latest Google core update is working in our favor for a change. However, I can't say I've seen anything dramatic.

            Discover? Wow. Interesting. Perhaps things may start to gain traction. That will be nice.
            
            It’s just so hard to stay positive here these days.

               Yeah, traffic could double and it would still be awful because we're now at such a low.

      I have also noticed an uptick in earnings and traffic, which is welcome after these past few months.
      
      Hoping it’s not a fluke or only pertains to the Thanksgiving holiday. Perhaps things will pick up for November and December, and then drop back for January.
      
      Though I’d like for this traffic to increase 200% and earnings to triple or quadruple to closer match where it used to be.

   It's good to hear that some folk are seeing increases in traffic, but here in the frozen northern Dominion, I am experiencing Newton's Third Law of Motion: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
   
   By adding content I trigger a decline in views. Curious.

   I have another new featured snippet for an Owlcation article. Maybe all of these are just coincidences.
