exactly. Traffic hasn't disappeared. It is going to somewhere else. I think this business model is just broken. I am seeing so many publishers just closing their doors. I am talking about established publishers. With Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, AI overviews and ads, nobody will bother checking our sites out

Honestly, what Google is doing is like what Facebook did years ago when they started asking for money to reach your own followers. You could be on the first page and still get very little traffic. Now look at what this guy is doing. He has somehow gotten this fairly large Subreddit, has a bot that posts links to his own blog with Amazon links under every video. The videos posted are from TikTok and others. So he is monetizing other people's content with affiliate links. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2269c1fe95fb131d23161b4483339392adfbf74747beb3c0903b17748314d7ab.jpg

There is not enough user traffic for everyone, ads and google answers are hogging all the traffic. This is the reality, everything else is just a fairy tale.

In my case, I’m still grateful for every visit Google brings to my website. The issue is that they monopolize access to the Internet and aren’t acting responsibly with that power. However, the real problem is that people keep using this search engine (which I no longer do). They’ll do as they please, but it will take time for the general public to start switching to other search engines. In the end, it’s clear that they will lose a significant share of the market before taking any meaningful action — but that will take time...

I'm wondering if these "geniuses" are going to fix what they did to Discover and Google News since September 13th? For almost 1.5 months I have been seeing nothing but shitty copy-paste sites, translations via Google Translate and slag littered with advertising.

Over the last two years there have been many posts like yours. There are some that gave me the impression that they wanted to end it all. Its difficult. I had 15 years but had to end it at the start of this year. The change over is very difficult.Good luck.

Just the same here with me...i can feel ur situation...I dont talk WITH A SINGLE SO CALLED RELATIVE OF MINE...im bound to communicate with my parents...my sister is a good woman who doesnt judge me...1-2 past clients...occasionally my bf as we started having plenty of arguments lately n that directly/indirectly involves the professional thing n he is 2.8yrs younger than me n i can feel y hes super frustrated having to do a lot at a younger age...+ there r ppl to make me feel low...they force me into believing im good for nthng..not even mediocre...so its just that im limited to those ppl i mentioned n sm of u here...as of now this is bringing me peace...im alrdy done with my life...n even my own parents making me feel like im a useless prsn...i cant invite so called frnds n relatives to make me feel lower the advice i have for myself n all my dear ppl including u here is to ignore as much as psbl ppl around us who dont actually feel US ...rather keep measuring our worth in terms of our financial state...its worth not getting our mental state more fucked up than what it alrdy is with the addition of these parasites...who wont b contributing to a better mental peace at all but would do their best to make us hate ourselves...my decision with my life is even if this stage passes in the near future/later im never going to b in touch with these ppl who couldnt feel me during my hard times rather made me start believingthat seriously im not good enough compared to others of my age

Jewish Cat Who Does S̶E̶O̶ commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility October 19th & 20th

The worse was... Some of them still brag or boast to me when they already know I'm not doing well. One recently told me, "Yeah, see that car? That Mercedes? I bought it a few days back. Haha" Another even bragged to me about how he is spending thousands (per month) in childcare for his son; and that he and his wife got promoted and just had a nice bonus. Last year, had another wtf one... A relative knew I'm not doing well and I even just told her that, "I'm figuring things out". But then she suddenly started telling me, "I just got promoted. My pay has increased by 25%. Haha." Sometimes I really don't know if these people have poor EQ, or they just want to rub salt to your wound and let us know, "We're doing better than you!!!!" so they get some sick satisfaction out of it. And don't get me wrong, I'm not being a wet blanket... Sure I'm happy for them, but it is really not the right time... That's like someone just suffered a miscarriage and her friend tells her, "Oh and good news! I'm pregnant!" Because of that, I'm isolating myself more because I'm just too fed up with such crap. I rather watch plants grow.

Jewish Cat Who Does S̶E̶O̶ commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility October 19th & 20th

True, noticing the same. It's weird... Like what is Google up to. My theory is because Google is now giving such answers in AI Overviews or as 'zero click results', so they're removing any websites giving the same answer as it makes the search results redundant or repetitive to users. At the same time, by doing so, they will pressure webmasters to desperately go for Adwords to bid for keywords for the affected, deindexed pages. I brought this up some time back when AI Overviews was first introduced... I notice AI Overviews will answer your question, but right after that, those websites they cited from are ranking just below AI Overviews and it feels repetitive and pointless. So who knows... Maybe this is the new algorithm?? They cite your website in AI Overviews while giving answer to users, but deindexes you from the organic search results (or Search, entirely)...

Jewish Cat Who Does S̶E̶O̶ commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility October 19th & 20th

Sorry to hear that, friend... If it consoles you in any way, many of us are in the same boat... This year is definitely way worst for many of us. Like some of us shared and agreed, it has come to the point we're so ashamed of ourselves that we see ourselves as <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/subhuman">subhuman</a> and failures that we just stopped our social life entirely - we turned down social events or meetups, we try to 'disappear' from social media and from our peers, .etc. Because we know god damn well if we kept in contact with them or meet up with them, it is no doubt they will ask, "So how's your work" or "what are you doing now?". That will be like a dagger to the heart while we do that quick response (and lie), "Yeah yeah, all good!" or "Pretty much the same, not bad, haha" but deep down we know it is totally devastated. And every single fucking time we see how well they are doing or if we happen to hear from mutual friends that so-and-so is getting married, got a promotion, have a new kid now, or whatever, it kinda reminds us of our failures. Again, not that we're envious or comparing, but it just reminds us that we're in a stasis or stagnant in our life and not moving. Like in a marathon race, everyone is ahead while it seems we're not moving a single pace. Also, for some reason, at this stage of life as we struggle... We really see the disgusting part of humans. The bragging and boasting, how everyone is selfish and for him- or herself; how pretentious society is as they only care how well you're doing; .etc. And I'm not surmising this, I'm serious... You realise society only cares how well you're doing; not how nice or a good person you are, or if you're struggling. If they find out you're not doing well, they just shun you. As much as it sucks to be at this stage, I feel blessed. Because it is a new low that prepares and matures us mentally and emotionally. It also tells you who your real friends are and who you can trust in your time in need.

Idk whether others have noticed this lately or not but simple blog sites with no commercial intent...the ones that arent providing any kind of services/selling products r being completely wiped out...i understand Sportskeeda n similar sites been ranking but even when u r searching by terms like net worth/age/gf/bf/height/or anything such its common to come across the person's official site/YT channel/streaming platform links/agency/product selling sites/similar other sites ...so i dont think any1 wishing to start a new blog site will c massive traffic when G has made it clear that these sites will have no existence henceforth...often its been happening that u r very curious to learn abt a person's details ...i as a user often search up sm faces i watch on YT/TV but i find no info concerning them...all i c r those sites that i mentioned abv...ecom sites will thrive (but again not too small businesses) but it might not b a good idea to start an info/blog site

I dont think any1 concerned abt panda n penguin update is still talking abt it as a RECENT update...we r here discusing abt HCU...most of us...any1 who couldnt recover from panda penguin update trauma must have switched to sm other platform where ppl r still discussing abt it...n thats NOT RECENT..plz dont try covering up...even if i consider myself a fool to point it out that it isnt RECENT the other 4 ppl who downvoted u +the ones that replied to ur comment arent fools ... most/all of them are older than me..probably 10-15 yrs in the industry
