If it weren't for Google ranking signal about location, I'm sure there wouldn't be such a need for CDNs

John A. User commented on Google Again Says Consistency Is The Biggest Technical SEO Factor

Google has screwed everyone over so no matter what you do, you'll won't see any improvement unless you get back links and even then it's not guaranteed. Google's aims are to push people to using adverts or to their property such as YouTube or a site there heavily invested in such as Reddit or Wikipedia. The only things I can suggest is make sure you have a viewport tag and it's mobile friendly. Make sure you have no orphan pages, those pages which are not linked to any other page. Have structured data i.e author and date information. Have a Twitter account and link from it occasionally. Don't be tempted to use AI slop.

Can someone please analyze my website EcoGen America for technical SEO and consistency? We just rewrote all of our content, improved URL hierarchy and cleaned up core web vitals with consistent structure in mind but we aren't seeing any results.

My team tried to raise alarm about this last week. Took only a few minutes to determine that Google scraped a hidden iframe embedded on the site. This article is greatly misleading and I expected better fact checking from this site.

CLOUDFLARE has been down recently, which affected most sites and apps like X and Riot Games. Sir @Barry SEROUNDTABLE was not able to dodge the bullet as well.

Judge Meathead could have did the right thing and declared Google an organized crime corporation, but one look at him and it was clear what version of law he would follow. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d4eb42e14dbca0d062d072e2bd889df59515053bd97b5e0cfc34a1e2460f91b9.jpg

Looks like Google is doing something again. You’d think they’d drop an update soon or something? Or are they gonna wait till Black Friday Lots of bots, lots of intl traffic, and low conversions.

Let us hope when the AI scam fizzles out so too will the attention turn on big techies for stealing our content and traffic so they may face justice for their economic crimes against humanity. <b> No firm is immune if AI bubble bursts, Google CEO tells BBC</b> - <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/no-firm-is-immune-if-ai-bubble-bursts-google-ceo-tells-bbc-2025-11-18/">https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/no-firm-is-immune-if-ai-bubble-bursts-google-ceo-tells-bbc-2025-11-18/</a> <blockquote>Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said no company would be unscathed if the artificial intelligence boom collapses, as soaring valuations and heavy investment in the sector fuel concerns of a bubble. Pichai said in an interview with the BBC published on Tuesday that the current wave of AI investment was an "extraordinary moment" but acknowledged "elements of irrationality" in the market, echoing warnings of "irrational exuberance" during the dotcom era.</blockquote>

It would be very useful to have a similar feature in Google Looker Studio.

It wasn't AI. Check the comments on Andrew's LinkedIn post. A guy named Johan v. Hülsen pointed out that this is from the comments on the article which are behind the paywall for users.

The community has been asking for a lot of things, such as Rich Snippet tracking, etc, and they never gave it to us. As @codecommander:disqus says below, they're probably created to compile data for themselves based on what users do with these annotations. If a company makes something for free, then you are the product. Your annotation examples are great, so we do when they P155 us off, not when it's useful for them to spy on us.

I think it is a smoke grenade. People ask for separate tracking of AIO clicks and google gives annotations to the community Not complaining about the feature as such but if this was an actual product and its product managers would implement the features its customers want most. This was it feels this is merely a distraction now everyone go and add your annotations - the day helpful content update was rolled out and took X % - the day AIOs were rolled out globally and took X % - the day the ads layout change took X % CTR .... ....

With BigTech and others skill at tax evasion, the Government will then take action, probably not the way we want though.

I've been seeing that design on an old computer for awhile. I guess it's for people with outdated browsers?

In somewhat of Trump's defense, if he's advised by morons like Kevin Hassett then it's no wonder Trump's economic policies are a flop. The economy is not some infant you put in quiet time to take a nap. And where's the income growth, outside of Big Tech, this guy talks about? AI has created a vacuum that's sucking the life out of the economy. When there are many unemployed workers, that also puts downward pressure on wages.

Sounds like the future is F*cked, so glad I'm past-middle aged. Trumpty Dumpty has forgotten what he's supposed to be all about, the present and the future, so long as Scumdar and Sam Altman not our Sam :D are happy, then thats all he cares about.

I can't remember the last time I logged into GSC, and I see no need to. If there was a button to click in there to get rid of all the Googlespam for 24 hours, then I would log in and click it daily. Otherwise I personally have no use for it. Have a look at what some of the President's top economic advisors are saying about the economy and how they're spinning the job losses. I find this economic advisor's talk about the free market sorting things out quickly laughable. How can there be a free market when something as basic as intellectual property rights are ignored? <b>AI could be causing ‘quiet time’ in labor market, top Trump economic aide Hassett says</b> <blockquote>“I think that there have been mixed signals in the job market,” the National Economic Council director said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” adding that he has seen “really, really positive signals in the output markets.” After noting U.S. gross domestic product rose at a strong pace in the second quarter of 2025, Hassett said, “there could be a little bit of, almost, quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don’t necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on.” He maintained, however, that any AI-induced softness in the market would be temporary. “Because there’s so much output growth and income growth, that’s the kind of thing that a free market will work out relatively quickly as, you know, new ways to spend money emerge,” Hassett said.</blockquote>Full story: <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/17/ai-jobs-labor-economy-kevin-hassett.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/17/ai-jobs-labor-economy-kevin-hassett.html</a>

We're an American manufacturer, and what we ship outside the USA is subject to each nation's tax/duties policy including reciprocal tariffs.
