2% up this week, better than last week but..... Still 85% down from last year. 17 year old website with a 2 viral videos via social media this week reaching 16 million. Maybe that is what pushed it up. RPM is up 40%. Google seem to have got a contract with the EU and share price up for now.

You can guarantee that it'll be split down party lines as other cases have been. If not, guarantee that Sam Allit and Clarence Thomas will vote for Trump. Clarence Thomas has been there since 1991, followed by John Roberts (2005). Cobwebs need clearing out.

The US Supreme Court should be releasing their decision soon on the legality of Trump imposing tariffs. Hopefully that ruling will curb the use of the tariff threats Trump has been using to defend Google.

When your niche is a complete and utter scam, how can you expect Google to decide which turd goes top? It really doesnt matter which 'expert' google let rank on hidden messages from ghosts and the afterlife, you're all a bunch of scammers...

Yep, same post as well - different day. Google no so, more than ever, shuffles results based on viewer interaction. Similar to FB feed and their Instagram, Tik Tok, Youtube, etc. It is normalized now and the way google works. Hopefully Barry will post on that topic someday vs. the "google shuffle".

If the EU knew what was best, they would just ban Google. Sharing data, big fines, etc. will do nothing to dent Google's marketshare. I think that social media trial against Facebook, TikTok and Youtube begins today as well.

All Google Search, Google Discover and Google News is like a trash. 😂 No name websites, registred 1 yesterday, spam websites with "how to drink milk" and something. If they read it - wtf?

It's good seeing the EU putting pressure on somebody else for a change more deserving other than commie level censorship of their citizens.

It's just another day of Google garbage, but I see the EU is applying more pressure on Google. <b>EU steps in to make sure Google gives rivals access to AI services and data</b> <blockquote>The European Union said Tuesday it’s stepping in to make sure Google gives rival AI companies and search engines access to Gemini AI services and data as required by the bloc’s flagship digital rulebook. The executive arm of the 27-nation bloc said it was opening up so-called “ specification proceedings " to ensure that Google complies with the sweeping Digital Markets Act, which requires Big Tech companies to give smaller players equal access to hardware and software features</blockquote>.

I noticed it today, as traffic across all the sites I manage went up after being down for a few days. It's like a see-saw.

Golden Phoenix commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Remains Heated

I don't see anything major in my niche but that could change. It's as bad as before but not much different. I do know Google's services were glitchy earlier today and maybe that has had something to do with the reporting?

ClairLoser commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Remains Heated

My niche is astrology and spirituality, and since last week I have been seeing mostly Indian sites dominating the search results. When you type in any angel number, sites like “Raja Fas*ion,” a fashion brand based in Hong Kong and Pakistan, appear in the first position and receive hundreds of thousands of visits. What is going on? I am based in the UK, yet my search results look Indian. While I spend hours writing in-depth articles for my 12-year-old blog, these sites publish low-quality content within days and somehow rank on position 1.

MrSEO commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Remains Heated

Results are pretty much garbage in my industry,, 80% I would say and it's been going on ever sicne the HCU in 2023 so it is purposeful. Bing seems to be able to manage the qaulity way better than google but traffic capture is tiny so not really worth much. any 2026 predicitons on the next update? Usually it's March but perhaps some new type of algo dropping in Feb?

Mark commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Heats Up Again January 21

I guess it depends how long people have been doing this, or how successful they've been. I think only a fool would get into this career in an entry level job in 2026, thats been the case for a good few years now really. I think I'm going to have see this journey out as far as seo goes, nobody else is going to pay me the money will Google will give me, and in my 40's I aint going to start again. I'm not even sure what I'd do if I was forced out - I've done this for 20 years, basically unemployable, but need a 6 figure salary or its not worth going to work at all. What I don't get is the people repeatedly posting "I've lost 99% of my traffic, I make $30 a week". If thats the case why are you still here, go get a basic job and make more money picking up rubbish or serving food or whatever.

I don't see any changes in the rankings but traffic is dead. Who even knows. Maybe it's delayed reporting
