Only for about 10 hours and now again on the down side. I really don't know what is happening.

I won't do anything until Google's monthly update is complete.

Apple has Business Connect <a href="https://www.seroundtable.com/apple-business-connect-34731.html">https://www.seroundtable.com/apple-business-connect-34731.html</a> and that's the only reason why we haven't blocked them (yet).

The only solution to curtail the Google Crime Syndicate from committing more economic crimes against humanity is to break their entire company up. Also required would be barring Sundar Pichai and his executive henchmen from holding any executive positions in publicly traded companies for the remainder of their natural lives.

Apple doesn't have a search engine so I can see any reason why not to block them. Siri doesn't send visitors to sites so thanks Barry for the infrormation.

UncleKrusty commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility April 25th

Google doesn't send enough sales for targeted price increases to replace what they have taken. Therefore we pushed a 10-30% price increase across the board as we continue to evaluate the impact of removing our entire site/products from Google, potentially blocking Gmail addresses on orders and other actions to fully decouple our business from Google. Like I said, I'm at the end of my rope. While this modest price increase is directly in response to the harm Google has caused us, further actions will likely occur once we see the judge's rulings in the current court cases.

We are stable. Most importantly we are stable under top 3 for the keywords which was on top last week for around 2 weeks. 1 competitor overtook us. Nothing else, Nothing serious.

There are three ways to run a successful informational site in general SERPs: 1. Publish information first. 2. Publish something original enough to be respected as something entirely original for the query. 3. Publish something great enough for its originality to be accepted by search engines and that people love which then rises in ranks due to signals. Number 3 no longer works in Google. This is the problem today. You can't do something better than someone else has done it because it will just disappear and be treated as unoriginal. It's possible that with some tweaking, you may be able to get there. It will take more time to see the results. It takes up to 6 months for Google to bring you back even after it starts liking you. But from my experience, you need something unrealistically original to run a general informational website that gets Google traffic. The success that I had was from a very original idea for the query. My newest informational site is slowly but surely rising (has been nonstop rising well) in Bing for me having created something better than anybody else had created it and because people love it. But it's not in Google. It may help some webmasters to create a second site in another niche and experiment with this for clarity. Ironically, Google is telling you to create something people will love. Or at least, that's what the spokespeople say. But that's not relevant to webmasters' issues most of the time. You're not original enough to Google. Believe me. I sat in a chair for three years and figured this out.

Quite the opposite Curly. Quite to the contrary. You see, when you use a popular theme, the developers keep it up to date. And this usually results in Google sending you a smelly sticker in the mail. Scratch and Sniff.

Rafael commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility April 25th

Well, just a few of us here... Maybe it will get better, maybe it will not... At least I'm seeing my AdSense revenue increase, maybe it is because websites are dying, and I'm having a “bigger piece of the cake”... For me, it is still the same, anger from Google Search and happiness from Microsoft Bing... It is the PURGE of websites as we know — that is for sure... I think pure information websites are no longer a good idea with this new AI age, only if you give SOMETHING MORE. My advice: if you want to stay, think about web 2.0... But yet, the rule is the same: working with websites is hard as hell and you are judged all the fucking time...

Google funds the heck out of them and was their first Wikimedia Enterprise customer to feed their AI from an API. If they lose their non-profit status, Google may gobble them up. If they run ads, Google wins again. If they just shut down, many will use Google's GermInEye AI instead and Google wins again. If they decide to sell dofollow text links, they will collapse because even ranking #1 in Google is worthless as shit with AI Overyous smothering everything else out except for Google's ad spam.

For ecom you can launch a "Priceifier Update" to target the Google Crime Syndicate. Even if the courts fine Google $20 trillion, not one damn cent of that money will reach us as the victims who are losing it all. We won't get jack shit, and the only way to seek reparations is to stick it to those who use Google. It's the fairest way when Government takes all the money they get from fines and sticks it in their pockets and every orifice they have. <blockquote>// Apply a 50% Google AI OverYous IP Theft Fee if (strpos($referrer, ' <a href="https://google.com">https://google.com</a> ') !== false) { return $price * 1.50; } // Apply a 20% Redshit Fee if (strpos($referrer, ' <a href="https://reddit.com">https://reddit.com</a> ') !== false) { return $price * 1.20; }</blockquote>It's also recommended to take a tough policy with Google users. Like the asshats from Google that place three orders within an hour. Cancel all of their orders and block them. Then when they come whining about it, send them off to a different department to submit their reconsideration request. And do what Google does with complaints - just delete them and let the asshats swim around in the Google toilet bowl they came from.

<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/trump-appointed-lawyer-threatens-to-revoke-wikipedia-s-non-profit-status-putting-the-online-encyclopedia-in-jeopardy/ar-AA1DIyrE">https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/trump-appointed-lawyer-threatens-to-revoke-wikipedia-s-non-profit-status-putting-the-online-encyclopedia-in-jeopardy/ar-AA1DIyrE</a> Wonder what would happen if Wikipedia were to lose its non-profit status, would that mean they either a) add adverts b) close c) get more sponsorship. If Wikipedia did go, might that mean a more variety of websites gaining? I'd probably gain but I doubt very much it would disappear. They'd probably turn to the godawful Fandom website. There's so many different versions of the same subject and some parody e.g. Universe of the Universe rank higher than they should do.
