Traffic and conversions in free fall today, as if it could get any worse.

I guess the key will be whether it's really for *exclusive* access or whether it's a licensing arrangement that others could also pay to access (eg. Google Extended bot). Many of the sites currently blocking the AI crawlers have objected to their content being taken for *free* to train the bots but might come around if there's a lucrative licensing fee.

Of course it's one of Sundar's new boyfriends from his home land to replace this soy boy.

We shouldn't have to block it, we should need to opt in to be included.

At the moment, Quora is blocking ChatGPT but wonder how long for esp, as boss of Quora is on ChatGPT board. Lots of companies are blocking ChatGPT at the moment, the backlash has started.

I think they are stopping the announcements of updates. I may be wrong.

Terrible past 2 days. Seems like almost 50% of normal traffic has dwindled, but our average positioning is upwards... don't think that will last too long.

There's a saying in programming that I think applies here: "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." (Kernighan) They were smart enough to build this complex system, but not smart enough to debug and fix problems. Good, hopefully this accelerates their decline and fall https://media3.giphy.com/media/Pq31kHa0MDWuc/giphy-downsized-small.mp4

Info sites are probably surviving on borrowed time. AI is coming to take all content, spin it and present it as their own on search engines. I'd focus less on buying links and instead try to figure out how to insulate yourself from what's coming in the very near future.

I'd say part of the reason why Bing doesn't grow is because its too Google-Like, to compete against Google, you don't imitate, you innovate. All the crap that Google does, Bing copies, Wikioverboard, People Also Ask ..

nah, worse results means more ad clicks and more time spent on site, reddit and quora is benefiting from domain crowding setup

UniGuide® commented on Google November 2023 Core Update Fully Rolled Out

Yeah, the world is changing in a big way. I still feel like there should be room for creativity and unique, specialized experiences. Third party websites can offer a stylistic, branded, unique experience that Google or Facebook or even reddit can't offer. It's like going into Tiffany vs. buying something on Amazon. Or reading the Marginalian or even playing a specific video game. Amazon and Google are just your average big box store vs. a boutique. AI tools are making it easier for creators and publishers to create high-quality, unique experiences. Creators need to be more empowered and get paid. This is why I get so angry at Google for killing blogs and siphoning off traffic from independent websites. This is one of the ways they're destroying the web. There has to be a way to preserve independent publishers and e-commerce businesses and help the right audience find them. There has to be a way to have creators be paid for their work. One of the coolest apps I've seen lately is the Shop App. The are making it as easy to buy from independent e-commerce merchants as it is to buy something on Amazon. Super fast, super convenient and easy. We need more of that. We need that in search. And we need more ways for advertisers to directly and easily connect with the right websites and bypass the big tech duopoly of Google and Facebook. That's the world I want to live in. Not one controlled by a greedy monopoly that is destroying small- and medium-sized businesses and creativity and innovation.

Google is pumping Reddit because John Mueller sits on it and answers questions. His little love affair with Reddit SEO has led to his bias and him singing, "Reddit...Reddit everywhere!" https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/af7b2ddfc036f473e64f73f7acd61956d29023ab0ca8c8e950b09d3ade8fc200.jpg

Do you think the reason your third site has been down is because of the backlinks directed to subpages? Or there might be some reasons else?

Mista Vishca commented on Google Search Ranking Algorithm Volatility Today - End Of Reviews Update?

I have 3 blogs with different strategy and niche, and only 2 survived the last update. I think I've made a mistake to the third blog, even though I spent more money on this third blog than the first and second blog. I always bought a lot of backlinks for an article/page, different article/page different backlinks. The first and the second blog I only bought backlinks addressed to homepage, not to an article/page. Is Google no longer prioritize the backlink power?

I've a relative who works at open ai and he said that Sam Altman is looking into signing exclusivity deals with Quora and Reddit to train his AI. I think this might be why Google is pumping Quora and Reddit, so that if they sign up, they have more to lose. Now, imagine a world in 1 year time where OpenAI has exclusive access to Forbes, Quora, and Reddit. And for smaller publisher, either traffic to see full answer or revenue sharing. This kind of competition would be a great news for all of us, so let's cross fingers.

E-Liquids UK commented on Google Disallows E-juice Products In Ads & Shopping Listings

Having operated since 2015 in this exact niche, I can confirm this is no update. We have never been able to advertise on Google or any Search engine as "E-Liquid", "E-Juice", "Vapes" whatever you want to call them have been classed by Google, PayPal and other Financial institutions, Shipping Couriers as <b>Tobacco Products</b>. However, we still see big the companies such as Amazon and Ebay getting away with showing these products in the "Sponsored Ads" section all of the search engines. Also PayPal has a strict no tolerance to e-cigarettes but if you throw enough money their way they will process payments for you. We are that 1%, so thanks for the post :) <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk">www.e-liquids.uk</a>

Google is trying hard to stick with this broken core update but they know the results sucks, they are trying fine tuning but every new update it gets worse. You webmaster, content creator, cannot trust google anymore, even if they fix this mess, they could do that again and again. They say this is a new update, clearly not, this started in august, 4 months trying and they seem don't have a clue neither will reverse this crap.
