Nikolai Legio commented on Google March 2025 Core Update Done Rolling Out

I quit web publishing for almost a year now, and I would say my mental health improves significantly. Also, I never use Google again since then. Right now, ChatGPT functions as my assistant, handling most of my work and leisure stuff. It seems to get better every update as well. Still, I pay only barebone hosting fees to keep my sites online, since revenues exceed expenses. I discovered that on several niches (like one of mine), you can repackage your content as books and sell it on Amazon or sites of your choice. This may pay you better than affiliate marketing or ad revenue from sites, as traditional search engines with blue links are dying.

Not bad, slight downturn but made up for it in the evening.

<blockquote>keep in mind that I am getting 50 more views that professor bobby here</blockquote>I think the professor is including his Grindr profile views in the total count though.

<b>Epic Games CEO calls Apple and Google ‘gangster-style’ businesses in need of competition</b> - <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/02/epic-games-ceo-calls-apple-and-google-gangster-style-businesses-in-need-of-competition/">https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/02/epic-games-ceo-calls-apple-and-google-gangster-style-businesses-in-need-of-competition/</a> <blockquote>Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, whose company makes Fortnite and tools for other developers, including Unreal Engine, called out Apple and Google as “gangster-style businesses” engaged in illegal practices while speaking at a Y Combinator event on Wednesday. The executive also emphasized how the big tech companies’ practices directly affected his own business by scaring away users from installing Epic’s Games Store software and preventing Epic from attracting developers to its offerings.</blockquote>Maybe he's upset Roblox inked a deal with Google to offer players in-game perks for watching Google's spam ads? Imagine how shitty the ROI will be on those ads. Also saw in the news ChinaZon dropped a last minute offer to buy TikTok. Just another ordinary day of monopolies behaving like monopolies.

I'm seeing a 40% increase in views, no sales from the views. Maybe bots are skewing the numbers?

Mark Ting commented on Google Business Profiles Your Edit Was Not Approved Bug

If those listings were never verified -- that being, there are no reviews you'd lose by deleting the listings -- I'd recommend deleting the listings and trying to add them back in. I've had to do this with listings marked "duplicate" or "disabled" listings that were initially setup by a different vendor. Similar situation there -- we submitted property lease, electric bill & 3rd party vendor bill that was mailed to my client's address as documentation -- and Google never did get around to verifying the listing. Deleted it, added it back and I was given "verify by phone" option.

Mark Ting commented on Google Promoting AI Mode In Search Results

AI Mode is interesting... but annoying at the same time. If you break it, it gives you a list of search results, declaring it won't let you ask a follow up question. Needless to say, I just end up breaking it. GPT & Claude seem a bit more... useable.

Bobby commented on Google March 2025 Core Update Done Rolling Out

You doing better than me? Pffft... In your dreams kid. I get thousands of views per day from search engines outside of Google in addition to my daily 200 views/6000 Google impressions. When you talk, nobody with half a brain is interested. It's very clear you don't have any writing ability or any other ability. I doubt you've even got the ability to think straight let alone write it down. When I'm barely in SERPs, I'm still ahead of you. That's your reality I'm sorry to say. You sit here yapping all day but nobody actually thinks you deserve any traffic. That's the difference between me and you.

Rafael commented on Google March 2025 Core Update Done Rolling Out

I saw something. I have a competitor that always copies me, He got obliterated from Google. His content is SPAM, with 2 lines of text. He produces content only to rank on search engines. I got some boost today also, I think. But I do not know if it will be permanent because Google is doing one thing one day, another thing in the other, like CRAZY. For last, thanks for your services, and please try to represent us always with respect and with the true, a thing I always saw you doing.

it's becoming more realistic. You can tell with this. Soon, you won't be able to. I can't tell you how many fake AI influencer X accounts have 100k followers. Post half nude photos of a model in various settings, it is clearly AI but get lots of retweets.

UncleKrusty commented on Google March 2025 Core Update Done Rolling Out

The loss in traffic, without rank changes, leads me to believe Google is updating AIO. I recall reading Google updates AIO more often than organic results. Semrush showed a big jump in AIO yesterday (5%+). Could also be more AIO rolling out into search or a combination of the two.

Since the 31th we are way down. News Website and after the changes on google news we staggle. March closed with 7.1m pageviews and now we struggle to hit 130-150K per day. Is this the end of press? All of this in just on day.

Yeah had a huge boost in traffic yesterday. For it to be the complete opposite today with almost no traffic but rankings are the same!

UncleKrusty commented on Google Ranking Reddit AI Translated Pages

Under the right circumstances, yes, failing to follow our instructions could cause death. The products in question meet ANSI specifications and also other specifications which I won't discuss as they are niche specific. Search Google for related info on the safety of these items, and Google will reference these standards in AIO but show Amazon/marketplace product ads which fail to meet these standards. Because of the ads displayed in relation to AIO, the average searcher could easily conclude the products Google is displaying in the ads meet these standards when in reality they aren't even close.

Another drop in traffic, but not seeing any rank changes. Might be more AIOs making their way into search? One thing is certain, none of these answer engines send traffic to product pages.
