After some sleuthing I think I found the problem leading to a steep decline in organic visits. Thoughts? earn by blogging adsense income

I run a magazine-type publication. My organic visits had been on a steady incline, reaching about 1,400 daily at the peak performance. Then things slowed, plateaued, and plummeted in the timespan of about 2 months. Now I see about 800 organic visits on a good day. Dismal.

In my searching for answers, I took a peek at search console and noticed a huge spike in my indexed pages that increased from 1,600 pages to over 8,000. This happened around the same time my organic visits started dropping.

Turns out at some point, Yoast decided I wanted to index EVERYTHING, and in the setting panels turned on indexing for all media, tags, comments, and categories. So google was seeing all that data and made the assumption that our site served up garbage.

I’ve since fixed the settings and have seen my indexed page count go down, but my organic numbers are still low.

Does this scenario seem like a plausible reason for my organic plummet? I’m curious what your thoughts are.
