Jacques Bouchard commented on Google API Doc Implies Service Areas Not A Local Ranking Factor

I imagine that spelling it out helps to instruct LLM's, though. Plus they're useful for human users too.

I guessed it was probably Hindi or an Indian language because @disqus_qdulHi8fu5:disqus ok'd it, I assumed she knew what it meant :D I was just too lazy to go to Google :D

As if the main target of the num=100 removal was 'SEO tools'.

Dallas commented on Google Search Console Average Impression Jump After Num 100 Change

I'm confused now xD My impressions decreased, and my average position also "decreased". Is a lower number on average position considered an increase since its technically better? I'm lost man.

HCU has proven to be another gaslighting tool/technique Google used to con publishers.

<blockquote>Seo is dead in 2025</blockquote>Don't worry, I have a funny feeling people are going to stop saying it in about 27 days. :-)

<blockquote>I tell you in all sincerity, SEO died a long time ago. Anyone who still thinks it works is stuck in the past. Change direction while you still can.</blockquote>It does still work though - there are plenty people making real money even in 2025. There is no change direction for me or most of the people in similar circumstances. I've not done anything else work wise for the last 20 years, I'm basically unemployable the second I move outside of my current well paying job. I'm going to stick with this for however long it's easy enough to make money still. But seo dead in 2025? No, failing seo's have been saying its dead every year for at least the last 15 years lol

Radu Roman commented on Google Search Console Average Impression Jump After Num 100 Change

The title says "average impressions increased" but the whole article is about average position increase, while the average impressions dropped. Things are not adding up :)

Oh weird not sure why my comment got marked as spam. But yes I agree all I see is spam all over. Aws spam sites, aws spam videos. Trust pilot spam everywhere. Really hard to find just a legit site ranking anywhere on Google. Then you have cloudflare going down. Really frustrating.

MrSEO commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Heated December 3-4

The HCU has just punished real content creators since the first one and it's been downhill. Now it's just pure parasite, one click ai slop, and 301 one pager redirects all using "discover thrilling" type content with plain text that drones on and a generic picture. It's never been easier to Spam. So I'm hoping the next update is as big a change as what HCU was as it can't get any worse.. Unless your a big content farm media site.

No Couch Potato commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Heated December 3-4

Google tranlate detected the language as Hindi and came back with this translation. Google search results appear to be unstable again – the volatility seems to be due to an unconfirmed update, but Google hasn't announced anything.

Mark Ting commented on Google API Doc Implies Service Areas Not A Local Ranking Factor

Having dealt with thousands of service area businesses all across North America, I can pretty confidently say the "service area" you choose if you hide your address in Maps has little to no impact outside your immediate actual location -- aka, city you're actually verified in -- and is mostly irrelevant otherwise, aside from the "image".

Barry Schwartz commented on Google Search Console Average Impression Jump After Num 100 Change

no it is the "average position" metric in the performance report.

Your title says average impression which I guess is a mistake? Shouldn't it be position?

racefan01 commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Heated December 3-4

Is this a new HCU or what? Did Google engineers go crazy at the end of the year and break everything? What's going on? It's just unbelievable. There's absolutely no traffic. Just bots from different countries!

If it were an ill-thought business strategy, Google would be losing money and they're not. Google is achieving record profits while everyone else is hitting record lows. It's a massive transfer of wealth and opportunity happening that benefits the Google Crime Syndicate. What is ill-thought is the failure of Governments to have an AI policy in place to have prevented the rest of the economy from becoming victims of Google's crimes.

This is what winning the AI race looks like - hitching a ride on a piece of shit being flushed down the toilet.

The Google Crime Syndicate is engaged in another end of quarter crime spree so they can beat their $100 billion revenue from last quarter.

Google search results phir se unstable lag rahe hain — ek unconfirmed update jaisa volatility ho rahi hai, lekin Google ne kuch announce nahi kiya.
