Below are the most recent 30 comments. I try to keep it clean of comment spam, but some times things
get through and it takes me several hours to get to it. So please excuse any of that comment spam.
Things have been really bad lately, but the last three days have been truly incredible. Google traffic is dead. There are no visitors from search or Discover. And it doesn't matter how many articles you've written in a day. 1 or 20.
At this stage, Google Search will become like "classified ads" in newspapers. Readers will need a magnifying glass just to browse them one by one, while ads and paid ones stand out the most. Only a handful of people will answer your classified ad.
I wouldn't be surprised if Google dropped another deuce in the serps by adding some more crap boxes to go along with the People Also Piss box. These people in Google get paid way too much to devise ways to grind out useless serp shit to shove down users throats.
Aside from the fact that I'm down 90%+ since September 2023, Google traffic has been further sliding downward since the beginning of October. And now is the time when traffic should be increasing because of the holiday season. 🙄
Nothing I do to keep my content updated or add new quality content makes any difference. You're either blessed by the algorithm, or you're not.
Why hasn't there been a core update since June? The next one better be a good one that actually does something positive for my site.
If it weren't for Bing and the other search engines, my business would be completely dead.
yes its my site, we add new content constantly, I'm curious if it will break through after this little boost or if it's just some anomaly after i migrated domain back to .com
and yet it's not enough for main MV ads :)
I also forgot the main sponsored links they need to go too, conflict of interest, they can literally serve as many ads on as many queries without the advertiser having control
<blockquote>he didn't want "rich, white guys who drive Mercedes and golf all day" at Google.</blockquote>I like to golf, and I bet many others here would like to golf too no matter their skin color.

They sold out to big tech a55holes for sure. Everyone is pissed about it, and it'll come back to bite them in the ass worse than they know now when the economy is ruins largely due to AI before the 2028 election. Then once Dems are back running the shitshow, they'll bend back over for big tech all the same as they did under the last failed zombie puppet administration.
It would appear the only ones Republicans are representing is themselves and Big Tech. Even those business owners that I brush elbows with are upset with the current direction of the party.
Yeah Republicans definitely got smoked in blue states which was no surprise. Especially during a shutdown where both sides are to blame, but Republicans are in power so it falls more on them whether it's fair or not.
They'll almost certainly get smoked again though in the 2026 midterms which will be a bigger deal. It''s good though since the change of power always reminds people how much both sides of the establishment suck and are liars who serve only themselves no matter which is currently in control.
I did not see your post, but you're right on the mark with it sounding like something Google would say. I heard on Tuesday's election Republicans didn't do so good. I have a feeling 2026 midterms are going to send a lot of Republicans packing. You can't invest billions of tax dollars into stock purchases of companies, and cut off snap benefits along with ACA subsidies, and expect ordinary voters to just accept it.
just searched for various of tools, and always added long tail "for small businesses"
gues on which page all these posts neding with "for small businesses" were? yes 2nd page of google. google just hates small businesses so much ))
Shame Chuck Schumer & Zoe Lofgren isn't running away as well. The only problem is that whoever replaces them, Google will find a way to bribe them.
I posted this link yesterday, but in case you missed it, check out this gaslighting bullshit from the Treasury Secretary about jobs.

It sounds just like the deceptive bullshit any top sadistic Googler would say.
<blockquote>Google's John Mueller announced Google is "simplify the search results page" by removing "some features that aren't being used very often and aren’t adding significant value to users."</blockquote>Personally, I don't think I've ever seen any of those things. Now, the rest of the horse shit that's on there... what about that JM?
