about Google I'm least bothered, but it seems Bing hasn't been indexing new posts either

Traffic was completely dead on two of my sites overnight/in the morning, but now lots of Google traffic in the afternoon.

Google drained most publishers dry, now they're testing these summaries as a way to take away traffic from sites that report news. If the meat and potatoes are in the summaries, why would anyone click through? Just like AIO, they won't.

Fabian commented on Google December 2025 Core Update Rolling Out

Every time google rolls out a core update my site completely gets deindexed for a few hours/days before it appears again. And it's been happening for a while now, I remember it very well during the June 25 core update. I usually rank on the first page, top 3-5, on many keywords and then my site just completely disappears when google is rolling out a new update. Any ideas on what could cause this?

Golden Phoenix commented on Google December 2025 Core Update Rolling Out

I blocked all SG traffic today. Now I am getting traffic from Ireland. It's just all bots. They see they are blocked from that region, they use another. You look at analytics and you think you got 1000 of views and then you dig deep and it's like 50 real views and 950 bot traffic. I have been wondering for a long time why my traffic remains somewhat the same but conversion went to almost 0. That explains it. I honestly don't know why I even have a site. Google is already stealing the content anyway. I ask myself: if the content is already available on Google, what is the point of my site even existing? By the time people reach my site, they have read a summary of it or bought something anyway. So what is the point?

DataDonkey commented on Google December 2025 Core Update Rolling Out

Must be Google controlling the bots to fill the void from the traffic they are stealing. Maybe a Scamdar approved criminal technique to make some of us believe the Google Crime Syndicate is still sending us traffic. Also the BS three weeks it will take for this update to complete is another pacifier Google shoves in the mouths of publishers in a futile attempt to take the heat off them as they make bank thieving during the busiest shopping season of the year. AI Slop Overviews is at the top anyway. Even Barry questions whether this core update will have much effect in traffic at around the 7:20 point in his video. Best thing we can do is make a New Years resolution to disavow Google and all their privacy invading shit like GA, GSC, Ads, Adsense, Chrome, Youtube, Gmail, etc. Why feed the same shit demon company data when all they do is lie, cheat and steal our content and traffic? The Google Crime Syndicate can then send their reconsideration request to us be removing AI Slop Overviews, People Also Piss Boxes, etc. from the serps. A new CEO, and not another Poop Technocrat, would also help. I also won't stop letting Trump's party know they are on the wrong side of voters by allowing the Google Crime Syndicate to steal from us.

MrSEO commented on Google December 2025 Core Update Rolling Out

2 days before the announcement I saw 200% increase, sounds a lot but really wasn´t compared to the traffic killed off, then since last night almost no traffic. no change really across any of my sites. I think around Saturday we may see big moves but if it´s like all the other cores then usually it just means those who game the system rank even better with the 1 click AI slop

Golden Phoenix commented on Google December 2025 Core Update Rolling Out

I honestly have gotten to the conclusion that most of the traffic Google sends or we get is from bots at this point. I used to block a bot or two that was abusive but now we get thousands of bots from Singapore and all these regions. I think that's why everyone's conversions are down. These bots are not always obvious to identify. A lot of times they even trick firewalls.

None of these update sh/i/ts matter anymore - traffic, CPC, RPM, CTR, everything will stay in drain

John A. User commented on Microsoft Bing Tests Hide Sponsored Results Button & Ad Grouping

Rather than copy something useful, they're copying something useless. If Bing wants to copy anything, copy "Web Results".

John A. User commented on Google AdSense Offerwall Optimization

What a useless idea, rather than sending people to sites so they can make money through site adverts, wringing every little penny from them. Google can make more money from AdSense adverts on sites than simply giving answers. These offer walls are a major turn-off; they'll force people to use chatbots. Its not just me whose said this, Gabriel said this too months ago.

I hope the spinless politicians finally grow a backbone and come up with a federal law in our favour. The politicians forced Trump to withdraw AI from the Big Ugly Act and they voted down Ted Cruz's act by 99-1. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/12/11/nx-s1-5638562/trump-ai-david-sacks-executive-order">https://www.npr.org/2025/12/11/nx-s1-5638562/trump-ai-david-sacks-executive-order</a> <blockquote>The executive order is almost certain to be challenged in court and tech policy researchers say the Trump administration cannot restrict state regulation in this way without Congress passing a law. </blockquote><blockquote>The order also directs Sacks to work with Congress to help draft legislation.</blockquote>Sacks is AI Venture Capitalist so no conflict of interest there then.

Site is dead. No traffic, no earning. It's just fantastic how everything could have been destroyed.
