Exactly that. I created a website with 7m pageviews per month in a 10m country just by working 15 hours per day. this is what they want to take away from me

i got the karma part, yes last time i flipped BUT - I believe in it myself on google, and the moment it was sold it started dropping, I was not sure if to cry or laught, but I was very lucky from now on, I plan to flip too but I design it for a BING so I tell upfront when selling - google sucks don't relly on it.

The quality of this site is not that high as people may think, so many confused things on it, too many listicle shits.

This guy shouldn't struggle to make money with 2.5m subs. I will say this, this won't last. What Google gives, it takes away. You can't build a business on something that changes drastically overnight. Even if it works for a year, it still is not viable business

I have a WordPress site that was getting a ton of traffic. That also tanked. I don't think it's 5k now. I gave up on it. It was a big site. Some of you may even know it. Once AI started to hit, it was cooked, and I stopped wasting time.

2026, the year that keeps on giving. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d820636da830ace42710f7c63c7b1049d84c25cca9e809447b2897ba90280fc0.png

Mark commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility February 10th

The problem is the experience I've got is extremely narrow - I've spent the last 2 decades concentrating on how to get sites to first place in Google when they shouldn't be there. If that ability goes away (or I can still do it but 1st place isn't worth paying for) then honestly my value to any company is probably ridiculously low lol. That's fine, I've made some money in seo and done okay so I'm totally comfortable accepting the position I'm potentially going to shoved into at some point :D Ive got absolutely no real experience of doing anything at all in this time period, if seo vanished overnight then the entire employment market will be non-viable for me for as long as I live.

Mark commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility February 10th

I'm still earning money, why would I have moved anywhere? What I am doing is working, for now. You keep saying seo is dead; I keep banking my paycheque every month proving its not dead. Using your mums example, I honestly can't think of anything worse for me personally. Right off the bat I don't intend to work past 50 so retraining in my early 40's is a complete disaster... I'm going to do all the office junior bits in my 40's, and quit this job too before I make any real ground with it. Why would I want to humiliate myself for £28k a year that I don't need? I'm not getting bossed about by someone in their early 20's... if they'd come to work for me I'd be their bosses boss. No thanks. I don't even live in one country all year round as things stand, If I can't get another online job when this one does on me I'm completely and utterly fucked working wise, I want to do it but won't be able to.

DataDonkey commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility February 10th

The site has been scraped, spun and spit out in Google's AI ScrewOverYous so it gets little organic traffic. Anyway demand for starting or maintaining existing WP sites has to be at an all time low to match the all time low traffic. Only one making sites is you, who flips them to people who probably watch their traffic drop like a rock in the ocean. Be careful with karma doing that.

They probably got all they want from them and so looking at boosting someone else unti they finished with them and then move on.

wow <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/">https://www.wpbeginner.com/</a> took a big dive, how in the world, from 2mil to like 100K, and keep dropping. seems like google hates wordpress sites in general? they have it all - moat, depth, clusters, everything, still not enough. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b47ac8f46153035cb853fab64587e146c3b9d2bd697defe3fb447134e84e28b1.png

Wow, hell, any mergers of this sort occuring under ANY president should not be allowed. Hopefully the Dems will start kicking off about it. Sounds like a definite case of using highest office for family's own interests. There might have been similar in previous administrations but none as big as this.

Although my visits from BIng are small, they still outnumber Google. Imagine if it were the other round...

Dreamz commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility February 10th

February 10th once again brought noticeable turbulence in Google’s search landscape, with ranking fluctuations being observed across multiple industries. While Google has not officially confirmed a core update, the intensity of movement strongly suggests that internal ranking systems are being recalibrated. Such volatility typically indicates adjustments in how Google evaluates: Content relevance Authority signals User intent alignment Interestingly, this wave of fluctuation did not seem restricted to any single sector. Websites across service-based industries, SaaS platforms, informational blogs, and even local business domains experienced movement in SERPs.

We're all incredibly skilled. We built businesses with no team, no budget, no salary. That doesn't make us obsolete. That makes us dangerous to platforms that want us gone.

i had to check the date, just to make sure if i see right there are still accounts here that I remember from 2023 - at this point approaching 3 years and dose are still coping i mean if it takes 2+ years to finally get it, I can't help - seriously THIS BUSINESS is mega dead I don't know what you are expecting. all people I know closed doors nothing saved them - no sEO, DJs, pinterest, YOUTUBE, authority or other bullshit ITLS ALL OVER " and when I say it I mean it in a polite way people here still saying "what job could I get" - same people saying it for 2 years or more I don't know what job but literally anything is a plus compared to this bullshido as much as I hate to admit it - this business is as dead as small retailers in many areas due to big stores the golden rush is over the explanation is really simple let's say it's 2004 - the internet is still inda new - it needs contet - articles , videos...etc. know it's 20 years later all the topics - beaten to death + AI that while being shit it's still pretty good at using other people's info - better than some janitor getting paid at a content mill or for those that are low IQ - your "service" is simply not that valuable anymore + you got the greed of big tech why rank YOU (the normie) when it can rank it's AI advice: don't waste your time anymore I sincerely meant it

it's almost like - they keep ranking it well so they gather data for their AI, once they have enough data, they don't need the site!! :D

and here is my answer to google - biiiig fuck you, since bing will grow over time, still 120 articles scheduled. I have time, I'm not in rush. site will be sold, then build another one, and repeat. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6d4535c4acd637154bf41981ed60305547983af9629f2c101c8afd562b167a83.png

It may go deeper. Trump Media's $6 billion merger with TAE Technologies had to raise some red flags. What does Trump Media, a social media business, have to do with nuclear fusion? That merger has the appearance of political influence being sold. There also is Trump's son in law's investment firm trying to buy Warner Brothers.
