You have to realize that even the comment section on this website is being scraped probably daily by these AI companies

you are absolutely right. I am keeping my sites updated but I have completely given up. I even tried X for a bit. And it drove a bit of traffic. But Elon further cracked down with "probable spam" tag so if you post any link, even links not to your own sites, more than a couple of times a month, say goodbye to any impressions.

Everytime I am temped to use Gemini, I remember what Google did to my business and I stay away. It is hard to forget when they have hurt so many small businesses. This business is completely dead. It's beyond dead. You may be able to get lucky and make money for a couple of months but AI overviews and intentionally bad algorithms have done it. Ad revenue, affiliate, traffic lowest it has ever been. I have my YouTube videos in AI overviews but nobody clicks or watches. Everybody reads the summary, so I created content for nothing. It's absolutely crazy that these giant corporations get to steal our hard work and not reward us for anything. Heck, they want to now loosen copyright laws but not to help content publishers avoid bogus lawsuits .. no. It's to steal more content

I know one guy… I met him in a Telegram secret chat (8 members only). He gets millions of daily visits from Google Discover. Even though GN is gone forever, and even though Publisher Center is also closed for good, he still has a working scheme to trick Google into showing his content on Discover. He launches about 10–15 projects per day. At least, I’ve seen around 500 of his projects. Each project contains at least 500–1500 unique articles (don’t ask me HOW). And all of this is for just one purpose — he’s waiting for ONE article to surface on Google Discover. Every day — every fucking day — I see his articles in Google Discover that bring in at least 200–300K unique visitors. I can’t track all of his sites, but I know — and I believe — that his daily audience reaches around 2 million unique visitors (fucking daily audience). Of course, he uses black-hat SEO. He has access to a network of "cracked" reputable websites and links from them to his low-quality articles — like how to clean a toilet. Some sites start ranking with only 15–20 articles indexed. Of course, these sites are taken down after 2–3 days. But that’s more than enough time to accumulate ~2 million unique visitors every fucking day. So yes, SEO is dead… but maybe not for everyone. The only difference is the approach 😉 Personally, I don’t use black-hat SEO, but if I could… I’d definitely copy his way of doing business (oh… sorry, his way of how to fuck Google).

I've got an SEO question for John Mueller. I used to actually ask him questions but he never bothered to reply. It's a bit like wasting money on a lottery ticket I found. So I'll leave it here. If it is beneficial to users for your tag pages to have the posts in an order, it is acceptable to change the published date to manipulate it that would put the posts in order? For instance, if I had an archive dating back to the early 1990s but I didn't publish the posts in the correct numerical order to begin with, could I alter the published dates on the posts to reflect the correct numerical order for the archive, or would that be black hat SEO? Notes: The reason these Googlers seem like genuises of their field is because they simply don't answer anything they don't feel like answering.

yes he does the smartest people left in 2023 and 2024 at best most dreamers are leaving in 2025, but some won't ever leave still hoping of openning analytics and seeing some spike to get some "beg money" from adsense or mediavine - same shit to anyone with a "working site" reading this - if I were you, I'd start planning my EXIT right now your site WILL GO down - the question is when and you can EXIT preamptively

some guy on here wrote (in 2023 i think) that he used to be a firefighter and very close to going high up the ranks and getting some paramedic license shit too but had some success with a site, fell for the "work for yourself" scam and left his job site tanked (as they always do) then he was unemployed for a long time, then decided to become a codder or some shit - spent time in davon coding academy but ultimately he regretted his site decisions right now he could've been well off doing firefighter shit

I'm glad at least I just reminded myself how much more superior I am as a woke pro-Hamas athiest. I don't believe in the Holy Bible or anything except worshipping failed socialist politicians.

She is full of shit. I bet Google paid her to write that blog post <a href="https://tomikoharvey.com/google-creator-summit-review/">https://tomikoharvey.com/google-creator-summit-review/</a> to shift blame from Google's AI IP content theft onto publishers. Gaslighting at its finest. When you sent her that Word document, did you recommend she not create a new paragraph for every sentence? Or did she write it that way because Google's GermInEye AI is too dumb to understand paragraphs with more than one sentence?

As an advertiser, integrating follower counts could be beneficial for social proof. However, clarity is needed on how these numbers are sourced and updated. Transparency is key to maintaining trust.

<blockquote>As I see now, Google completely wiped small business out.</blockquote>True. But do you expect a different outcome when creating a new small business website? Google will take any new content you create they find of value and give you shit in return. This is happening to many with new websites.

I spent 13 years of life with this BS. Google killed 23 projects, including a reputable news website with natural backlinks from .edu and even .gov. As I see now, Google completely wiped small business out.

And remember that Tomiko who told us that she made 12k a month? Absolute lies. I went through her entire website and read each and every post. I spent the entire day reading them and it is absolutely horrible. I didn't even bath or poop the entire day (that's how dedicated and professional I am). I opened up a Word document and compiled each and every of her posts and wrote some feedback for her. I even took screen captures on how to improve on her horrible SEO. I also told her that I wouldn’t even pay $50 for her entire website. If she can reach my standards, it would easily fetch her $1 million. I believe I should be the next Pope, especially after what I’ve done for the community. I like to believe that I’ve helped people here too. Unfortunately, all I get is ridicule and trolls.

And get this… I have one article that has gotten millions of views. Readers even left comments thanking me and praising me like God. Yet, it has been de-indexed. It is an absolute sin. I get it if others have theirs de-indexed because it is likely chatgpt created or written by cheap article writers from developing countries. But mine? If Google can’t even judge my content to be good, then it is the fault of the algorithm – 100%!

I can't believe this. I am getting the de-indexing issue like the rest of the mortals here. I get it if others got de-indexed because I know their content wouldn't be as good as mine. But to have some of my articles de-indexed? Impossible and absolutely absurd. Google fails to see that my website only publishes top-quality content. This is an absolute sin. A big sin for all mankind. It is like censoring or removing crucial pages from the Holy Bible. Unacceptable.
