get through and it takes me several hours to get to it. So please excuse any of that comment spam.
Thanks for the tip off, I didn't see it... <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyn0ek5rdpo">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyn0ek5rdpo</a>
<blockquote>The judge also called for Google to allow certain competitors to display the tech giant's search results as their own in a bid to give upstarts the time and resources they need to innovate.</blockquote>I guess like what Bing does with DDG? Google's response is typical...
I wonder if, as Google appeals, everything is back on the table again, but I guess they'll be reigned in for what they can do because of Trumpty. I wonder how long this appeal will take, hopefully not another five years.
<blockquote>"These mandates would risk Americans' privacy and discourage competitors from building their own products — ultimately stifling the innovation that keeps the U.S. at the forefront of global technology," Mulholland wrote.</blockquote>Oh yeah, play the privacy angle when if its done correctly, there is no privacy issue because Google won't/shouldn't be sending any private information, only data.
<blockquote>Last month, the EU opened an investigation into Google over its AI summaries, which appear above search results.</blockquote>Every jurisdiction should be doing that... In the meantime, Brinkema needs to wake up, finish her remedies phase and reveal. I wouldn't be surprised if she's being harassed/lobbied by Trump's pro BigTech officials to water it down. I bet she's rewriting because of it, wouldn't surprise me. Although UK is not part of the EU anymore, hopefully, that will encourage others including our Compeitions and Mergers Authority to look into it (I forget their full and proper name).
I feel like house fresh increased because they threw a fit and blasted everywhere and got so much attention. Especially after getting invited to Google hq for that bs meeting.
one site to look out for would be inspired taste. They’ve been blasting Google all over the news everywhere for ai overviews stealing their content or just straight up mixing it with other recipes. It would be interesting to see now if they get a huge boost after all this as well.
Have you seen house fresh they were tiny before now around the same size as me and not an old site. Having a tantrum about it obviously paid off. Google are using them as a flagship - have we done stuff right? How about they look in the stats for the sites they have hurt. I have increased my traffic 9% and RPM a little since my crash out on here but that's not to say it will last. Still 80% down from last year. It needs some serious looking into, with the amount of spam and hurting white hat sites.
Yesterday Google filed the appeal to Judge Meathead's ruling because they don't want to share data. I also saw in the news that BBC will begin producing shows to release on Youtube because Youtube now has more viewers then BBC.
There appears to be no consequences for Google. Judge Meathead's piss poor remedies actually strengthened Google's search monopoly which they use as a weapon to eliminate competition. These are just bad times and getting worse by the day.
You're trying to run before you can walk.
It's just bizarre to think a failing, beginner seo can jump into one of the most competitive, high value niches without even knowing what 'casino affiliate' is lol. You're wasting your time... go get a job
You means everyone who gets in this field knows everything from start, do you know something about it which you can share to be successful, do you also do it?
If you need to ask that, you're not going to be able to do it.
It would be quicker/easier for you to become a qualified surgeon than a successful black hat spammer.
I only remember him predicting updates and one or two hit, but he's the only one I can think of. I remember Barry checking his IP addresses too because of the mystery surrounding that guy.
If they are doing deals with some publishers and not others that strengthens the argument that they should NOT exist. I am actually finding ChatGTP (which I am using for personal reasons to help me with documents relating to my car) pretty useless. They will go out of business when AI crashes. The ads won't be enough to keep them afloat they only have 1 million users a week (tiny)
My friend does black hat and he said hes having the time of his life and making more than ever. Around $25k a month off casino affiliates. I obviously don't do that or go down that road and I don't like black hat strategy. I have always been white hat but he also said that when he went to a conference the white hat were really stressed and depressed - when he went to a similar conference in black hat they were really happy making tons. Just sums up guys we seem to be in a bad position because we do the right thing of making human content for the world. So wrong for us.
Precisely, OpenAI is losing so much money that ads is its only salvation. It might hurt Google but do nothing for publishers. Yes agree with your assessment on Brinkema, she'll use it to cop out. I see Microsoft are apparently pushing their own Adsense soon so Google will seize on that also.
