The period before Christmas is very bad. Traffic is almost dead in the UK, including Google Ads traffic. Has anyone else faced the same issue? Please reply.

insane shuffling but that's just normal these days. Thankfully my other X account is growing. Maybe I can just go full time doing viral content on other platforms. This website business is done. It's a waste of time. You can't build a business when you are so reliant on Google and their insane people for your traffic. Many of us lost our traffic starting May 2022. some 30%, some 70%, then other updates dropped it down by 90%. You get a few days that traffic is up by 10% and you feel like celebrating and then the hammer drops and you lose even more traffic. I don't care what was the starting point. If you lost 90% of your traffic and the remaining 10% keeps going down, by 10 or 20% itself due to AI overviews, what is the point? Nobody should work for free.

And if you block Japan, they will come from somewhere else. It's not real traffic. Maybe the internet is just dead

Not sure about this. I invested so much time in this website and always placed the user first. Difficult times.

I'm not sure if this video was posted here already or not, but it's pretty ominous about the economy thanks to all the big tech a55holes and their greed. <a href="https://youtu.be/x4ZY25OU4Ys?si=bsdMfKTh8-7VSohi">https://youtu.be/x4ZY25OU4Ys?si=bsdMfKTh8-7VSohi</a>

I love how retarded Google algorithm is nowadays. Searching for an SEO company, you now get "unemployment" insurance links LOL, Google is giving everyone a hint. Good job Google, those results are very related, fking morons are working at Google. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8dac66a4b5981b944429ff6b1e11d15085ea979475aca86168a28382ac7dfe75.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/681ab040307815affa37ea4a4f20aafb7ed995924059e6444574ecde095521b1.jpg

The phrase "misery loves company" comes to mind. Many here have been fed up for a long time too, so there's no need to refrain from posting since we're all in the same boat and let off some steam every now and then.

for the long time i've not been able to comment here because I'm already fed up to google's mess but this dec 2025 update really makes me want to rage. my observation. mostly, my newer articles are those affected from deindexing, disappearing (indexed but not showing) and shuffling. wow, Google really knows how to increase small website owner's blood pressure.

Block one country, then they move to another. When your block list gets big and effective, then they jump onto residential IP addresses. There are some stories on scraping with residential proxies, which are more risky to block unless it's just the offending IP address. <b>Unlocking the Power of Residential Proxies for Data Scraping in 2025</b> - <a href="https://deepai.org/machine-learning-glossary-and-terms/unlocking-the-power-of-residential-proxies-for-data-scraping-in-2025">https://deepai.org/machine-learning-glossary-and-terms/unlocking-the-power-of-residential-proxies-for-data-scraping-in-2025</a> <blockquote>In the age of big data, web scraping has become an indispensable tool for businesses and researchers alike. Whether you’re gathering competitor insights, monitoring market trends, or building machine learning datasets, having access to reliable scraping infrastructure is paramount. One critical component that can make or break your scraping efforts is the use of residential proxies. Residential proxies have gained widespread recognition for their ability to bypass IP bans, mimic real-user behavior, and ensure uninterrupted data collection. This article delves into the benefits, applications, and best practices for using residential proxies in your web scraping projects, supported by recent statistics and insights.</blockquote>

about Google I'm least bothered, but it seems Bing hasn't been indexing new posts either

UncleKrusty commented on Google News AI-Powered Article Overviews Go Live

Google drained most publishers dry, now they're testing these summaries as a way to take away traffic from sites that report news. If the meat and potatoes are in the summaries, why would anyone click through? Just like AIO, they won't.

Fabian commented on Google December 2025 Core Update Rolling Out

Every time google rolls out a core update my site completely gets deindexed for a few hours/days before it appears again. And it's been happening for a while now, I remember it very well during the June 25 core update. I usually rank on the first page, top 3-5, on many keywords and then my site just completely disappears when google is rolling out a new update. Any ideas on what could cause this?
