Google does not care. They want us to go bankrupt, so they can use our content without any worries for their AI.

Kaiminus commented on Google March 2025 Core Update Impact Poll Results

It's good to see surveys like this. When I say my sites are going up, people tell me I'm trolling, but it's just that most people comment to complain, and reading the comments you'd think everyone was going down. Besides, when I see the length of the posts and the assiduity of some people here, I tell myself that only the head of a business that has collapsed can have so much time, so it's bound to be those who are going down who comment the most. But the reality is: 40% of sites that don't move and 40% of sites that go up. Good luck to you all!

Perfect song but not worthy for those soy SEOs. They need to stick with something more their style like something depressing and ghey from Nickelsack or Taylor Swift for their big woke cryfest get-together. But yeah, it's for sure going to be a cringe shitshow in whatever the fuck they try to figure out in keeping their SEO scams on suckers going.

After SEOs got the Google Career Ending Penalty, the most requested DJ song would be Metallica's Fade to Black: <blockquote>Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free</blockquote>I think it would be depressing with a bunch of SEOs meeting up. Maybe reminisce about the good times, back when it was easy to scam businesses out of their money, then top off the night in tears knowing AI Overyous is taking all the traffic and killing their clients so they have no money to spend.

I saw Kagi some time ago, I just dismissed it as another Google Wannabe with all the stuff I hate, PAA, Answers, Images, nothing too original about it.

I wonder how Sundar, the slumlord of search, would respond to people saying the search engine he is CEO sucks? Probably something self-serving like search Google more and click more Google ads. There's nothing epic about this story, but just more of the same - Google sucks badly. <b> Why I abandoned Google search after 27 years — and what I’m using instead</b> - <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/01/business/google-search-problems-alternatives-kagi/">https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/01/business/google-search-problems-alternatives-kagi/</a> <blockquote>The story of Google’s declining usefulness (and increasing profitability) has been bubbling for years, as the company added more advertising, more sponsored links, and more of its own content to its search results page. As software developer and former Google employee Tim Bray put it last year: “These days, when I use Google Search or Chrome or Maps I just don’t feel like they’re on my side.”</blockquote>

What's your niche? Shadow ban. A lot of small publishers complaining back in 2019, on the help forums and then Google closed the thread. They never fixed it. Google human quality rater likely black listed you in news.

Do you mind if I ask, is it something that if used inappropriately, it could kill or blow up. I'm not stupidly used like paint, drinking it.

Nothing specific to reddit, but specific for what they advocate using some of our products for. We address what they shouldn't use our products for on our product pages, with the included instructions and also a note on their packing slip. For whatever reason, some people coming to our site directly from reddit just don't read anything we have to say despite so many attempts. Maybe a reddit redirect to a splash page, with a checkbox to agree and continue shopping, is the best way to deal with it so it's right in front of their face.

Racefan01 you still have problem in indexing? I still have the problem but it's weird. For two or three days it's slow to index content, then for a day it's instant, and then for another two or three days it's super slow.

But can they make money from it via AdSense ads like regular vids. I always see people complain their shorts make less money than long vids

What we know is SEO was all backlink building, not content is king.

Yeah, I stopped receiving Google News traffic 4 years ago, my articles only appear when I put sort by date or on the last page. They have old articles from 7 years ago in Google News lol, news is for news, why have they never fixed this.

Do you put a disclaimer on sales saying that Reddit is not a good source of help and that if they want help, you are the only appropriate resource. Or something like that?

UncleKrusty commented on Google Ranking Reddit AI Translated Pages

I, like many others, believe Google's deal with reddit includes a traffic quota. That surely would explain the low quality results Google is generating by pushing reddit so hard. Ranking these translated pages may just be another way for Google to maintain that quota. As I've said before, redditors actively advocate others use the products we manufacture in unsafe ways. We do get sales from reddit, because Google is ranking them and their misinformation well above us as the manufacturer, so there is little we can do. We can't even comment on many of those threads, and warn consumers, because the threads are locked. I have no use for reddit. By Google ranking reddit, Google is putting consumers at risk of harm by helping to spread misinformation/disinformation.

Diversificating your traffic sources is your best bet in this day and age. You never know what Google will do next.

The big drop in traffic shouldn't be a surprise considering Semrush is reporting a big jump in AI Overviews. I'm sure Google will eventually learn the tall-walled garden they are creating to trap users inside will also act as a barrier that keeps users on the outside. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b23774c78c60658507c35e2d8b44e43dc844b6f7dcffaea071d18f2e08f9e652.png

Theory Force commented on Google March 2025 Core Update Done Rolling Out

For content-only, I think it's over. I was thinking about setting up a few new sites just in case, but looking around I don't think it's worth the effort.

Client sites that are just a website for an IRL business are completely untouched, so that's a relief.
