FF222 commented on Google Has Nothing To Share On Recent Google Search Ranking Volatility

Oh, the professional gaslighter, who has no insight to share. I mean he has no insight share anyway at any other time either, because at no time provides he any proof for any of his actual claims, and whatever he says is always boiling down to "we're doing nothing wrong, you can only blame yourself if Google is not working as we claim it is".

I think that when Mr. Mueller searches for ‘How to eat a healthy pizza,’ Google AI will probably suggest: ‘Just get a piece of bread and smear liquid Ozempic on it.’ No logic at all.

Dark Red Owl commented on Google Has Nothing To Share On Recent Google Search Ranking Volatility

Mr. Mueller's statement is cynical. It sounds like Marie Antoinette, who told the poor to eat pasta if they didn't have money for bread. Every empire collapses one day. And Google will collapse, perhaps sooner than we think. When I laid off half of my team because of the Google update, I told them frankly to find a more secure, serious and stable job. Everything related to Google is uncertain, unstable, frivolous.

For the kiddo's who don't know who David Bowie is... Space Oddity Song by David Bowie ‧ 1969 <a href="https://share.google/q6LSBq06swCfzPpBD">https://share.google/q6LSBq06swCfzPpBD</a> He was also in Labyrinth: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d77d8a9013f71343a2a35d773dfeff783f06bdf2a7a75f8f0aa29fda2a38aec9.png Barry, Adding context to this made me feel old...but not obsolete. Points to those who catch the movie reference (not Bowie). <b>Don't spoil it answering in the comments if you get the reference, just toss a thumbs up.</b>

Fines are ineffective at stopping Google's bad behavior but are good revenue supplements for governments that are nearly as greedy as Google is. Google passes the cost of fines off to advertisers by ripping them off more and by stealing more publisher's traffic. The CEO of Google should be criminally charged, the company broken up and liquidated to set an example for the other Big Tech companies that remain. Pic was from Proton's tech fine tracker. Q4 revenue hasn't been reported yet, so maybe the data is from just three quarters and will be more accurate once Q4 is added? Seems there isn't a good tracker out there that monitors Big Tech fines and lawsuits. It's the best I got....

Fines aren't enough, they should be higher... Everything we hate Google for, Microsoft is doing the same but are slipping under the radar : AI, Copyright theft, Results (yep, videos, pictures, etc) Amazon really only making 10.56 billion, that does seems a little low.

Hi, Its all pages where Comments have loaded, after a short couple of seconds, you can't scroll up or down. It then unfreezes and freezes again moments later. I get the feeling it freezes when it checks if there are any updates to comments. I have a Motorola G34 5G, Ram : 4GB + 2GB , Android version 15, Chrome version : 144.0.7559.109 I don't have access to another device to take a video of the issue. I remember someone else having an issue here, I can't remember who. The issue occurs both on mobile data and on WIFI. It seems to resolve the issue quickly is to minimize chrome and go back in. Whatever minimizing does to stop Disqus doing resolves it. Hope it helps, I will try and get a video if I can but don't have anything to hand, I don't have a webcam... Thanks.

I don't listen to anything these dishonest people from Google say. With all the lawsuits Google lost, and fines they paid, Google has proven they are just a BAD company. Google should have been broken up and liquidated years ago. Maybe it's too late for that to happen now, but one can only hope. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/512198d0bdccd7fd32764633fc5e81cdb10c847440b9da2d10c5dc7fabfaa828.jpg

Via Disqus support: Thanks for reporting this, we've taken a closer look and have been able to document the issue. We apologize for any inconveniences it has caused and have passed it on to our team for further investigation. The team has asked for additional info which will be helpful for our troubleshooting process. - Are there any specific URLs where this issue occurs, or is it site-wide? - Could the affected users please provide specifics as to their device and the version of Chrome they're using? - If possible, a video of the slowing would be incredibly helpful in addition to the other two data points.

Complete greed pushed by their shareholders and no consideration for consequences.

Surfer Boy Pizza commented on Google Has Nothing To Share On Recent Google Search Ranking Volatility

for those of us who are honest publishers, it's a complete waste of time to dig into anything. do not waste any more money trying to fix things or paying for seos to help. this is all by design. google is "slowly" killing off the web ecosystem, rather than doing in one swoop because that'd be too obvious. our government failed to protect us - it will never happen. bunch of pedos, the entire lot, scurrying after release of epstein emails.

Mumuu commented on Google Has Nothing To Share On Recent Google Search Ranking Volatility

@rustybrick:disqus I got an idea worths exploring: what do you say about having a monthly/ once a forthnight post with the best 10 comments of the period and put up a short context for each (i.e as a reaction to what news the comment was put for). Some of these comments really worth a shout out. The above one is a top one, made me seriously laugh. It paints exactly the state we're into! I bet would be a regular must read for many of us here!

Google AI Search, Chat GPT, 4 Ad's above and below page 1 results, personal search results and on. Search volatility is irrelevant, the chances of getting any real ( non-bot ) human traffic from Google is minimal these days.

SEOwhat commented on Google Has Nothing To Share On Recent Google Search Ranking Volatility

So Google rolls out six plus volatility events in January, tanks rankings across entire regions, and Mueller's official guidance is "the web is dynamic, dig into it yourself." Cool. Very helpful. Thanks for the insights you don't have. I guess we will all get shovels. If it doesn't lead to discovery, we can just bury each other in a deep, dynamic grave.

It seems not. Basically he only has a HOMEPAGE and the rest of the pages go on subdomains. Total madness. A blackhat seo technique. He has several sites on the same technique. The site can be accessed and viewed.

The CMA and house of lords are not happy about the current stance. At least in youtube your ad is show and you get the share, AI overviews mean they take our content and pay us nothing.

Mumuu commented on Google Has Nothing To Share On Recent Google Search Ranking Volatility

Voted thumbs up with both hands, however I feel would better sound like this "... big tech stolen the internet and put it on their hard disk and then hidden it behind a paywall". Pretty sure Internet could still prove undamaged if it is for big tech to not put it behind a paywall as they all did with search, social media etc where you have to pay to get seen. No pay, no visibility.

Off topic Barry, do you have support with Disqus, I find it impossible to view comments on Chrome on Android phone but surprisingly, if I read in Edge on Android, it works.... Is there a setting or configuration you need to do ?

Poll: Do you think BigTech has irreversibly damaged the internet? Thumb up for yes, thumb bown for no I know the thumbs up and down is for agree and disagree but this is the only way I can do a poll on here.
