get through and it takes me several hours to get to it. So please excuse any of that comment spam.
There's a reason why I never really like these AI companies... They are literally greedy corporations.
For example, the West has blocked chip exports to China for a reason. You and me all know why, because China will steal the technology or use it to gain an upper advantage.
However, the Nvidia CEO told Trump and the other officials that they shouldn't block it because it won't make a difference, .etc. But it HAS BEEN WORKING that's why China weren't able to get more powerful AI chips. And alas, they listened to that Nvidia guy and removed the AI chip export restrictions. It is apparent that the CEO wants this so they can sell chips to China to get more revenue. It is against the national security and interest.
Now, with lean LLM models with powerful chips, what do you think is gonna happen?
And everything is so ridiculous now... AI-powered hairdryer, AI-powered washing machines, and whatnot...
And now? AI-powered coffee mug:

Same, nothing at all.
I don't want to come off as rude, but some people seem to have a confirmation bias... They're seeing a little boost and they say "I've recovered by xx%" but when I look at the graphs they share, it looks more like a casual rebound. Like my previous comment I said I had only 1 sale since the update was rolled out; and just 2 days ago I had a few more sale/conversion but I don't immediately jump and say, "I've recovered!", instead I just see it as a normal fluctuation.
Most importantly, these updates are still ongoing and we don't know for sure. It could be Google is sending massive zombie or low-quality traffic that's irrelevant, .etc.
I don't want to be a wet-blanket here but it is too early to say. Let's never forget Google loves to fuck and troll us mentally... One moment they give you a surge of traffic and rankings, and a few days later (or even the next day) it reverses. Many have reported this phenomenon since 2023...
Sorry to hear that, friend. But try not to think too much until the doctor fully diagnose it... It could just be from your diet, especially if you ate any pigment-rich foods like red dragonfruit, spaghetti, beetroot, .etc.
If you aren't having other symptoms like pains, fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes and whatnot I wouldn't worry too much. Again, let the doctor find out and don't overthink it. Try to have a few days break... Health anxiety is always terrible.
And you're not alone, my websites aren't any better.
Same drop here since July 2nd, both in Discover and Google News.
Traffic from Google News was hit even harder: two days before the core update we had around 4,000 clicks, and on July 2nd it dropped to just 44 clicks.
I’ve seen similar drops/graphs in the past when a site was penalized for some reason. However, in those cases, the drop in Search Console's performance report for Search was equally dramatic. In our case, there is a decline in Search traffic too, but it's significantly smaller.
Unfortunately, we're not among the sites that saw a recovery in the past few days.
Fortunately, after reading your comment, I realize we're not alone in this — and it seems we just have to wait for the update to fully roll out.
Daily unique visits began a notable recovery on July 8. It's continuing thru midday today (Sat.), which does not yet show on the graph. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2233bbda1adbc01e4056023a90d348477fd505de56dd72a8e984b4e81fa81a4a.png
That guy is one weirdo. I don’t remember offending him in any way except calling him an obnoxious person after seeing how he responded to others. And just like that, he curses me to get stage 4 cancer. Lol
He really has issues.
By my soul! Our unteachable troll is now also taking revenge on all of us by using guest votes. @Barry: I think it's your turn to restore law & order here.
Hopefully it's not and just some weird thing being stress related.
That's why beta bitchmale Bobby is jealous and shitposting out of spite here right now, since he always knows the reason why he has a sore ass. In his rainbow brite lifestyle he's proud of all his HIV ass sores and everyone knowing he's the receiver in his relationships.
Thanks. That’s the reason why I’ve not been active recently, because I’ve been worried sick. I’m not exactly sure how this happened. It could just be piles.
rankings are back to being a mess. Shuffling all over the place. not that it matters. Honestly hard for me to care about a business that is clearly dead
It is really, since Google's AI is destined to give itself <b>AI</b>DS with how much other AI it's swallowing.
At least Bobby will love it being just like him.
My only website got wrecked. Total destruction. Absolute zero traffic.
If that’s not bad enough, I’ve been crapping out blood… I have scheduled an appointment with my doctor to get a biopsy and a checkup done. I hope it isn’t cancer.
It doesn't have to be profitable now because taxpayers are helping to offset current losses with huge subsidies. Trump's Big Beautiful Bowel Bill gave huge tax savings for R&D that will benefit all big techies. All the AI data centers being built also get huge local tax subsidies and huge discounts for electric and water. Much of the cost of rolling out AI infrastructure has been placed on the backs of individual taxpayers. Exterminating us individual publishers will leave Google with immense power and more control over what people see, believe and buy. It's total enshitification with the full backing of Government.
