Google December 2025 Core Update Volatility Saturday, December 20th
It seemed like the site was coming back to life. On Saturday and Sunday, traffic from Discover started returning. And then, a sharp drop. News isn't showing up in search or Discover. It's just idiotic.

At least if they take on major publishers like that they've got way more of a voice than us.

Well this core update looks to be more like Google's last shot at destroying what online publishers remain. We might have to get back to print.

Did hear about it, Zillow was hit hard, no more need for Rightmove (UK) and others. Google abusing their Monopoly status.

Yep, it's the same. Unless people are searching for what you have to offer on Chatgpt, and not showing up; Then it's different. LOL

Since you're the best seo company in both USA & UK according to your own website, I imagine this will be a trivial fix. You might even be able to start working on an indoor toilet next.

Maybe you have seen this.... Google is now publishing real estate home listings in their SERPs. The listings include details about the property, allow viewers to contact an agent or request a tour. The stock dropped about 10% after the article below was published...

We might see how this impacts the stock of business with a published marketcap.

You're right; it's the beginning of a corporation-led world where corporations make the laws. Well, AI friendly laws being pushed aggressively by corporations.... Reminds me of the awesome Dark Matter series, where it's corporations that rule the galaxy. With all the billionaires looking to colonise space, it's not looking much like fiction but science future.

Other AI companies may have no choice but to buy their own energy companies before Google monopolizes that market first.

I suspect a rash of AI Companies will now be buying energy companies so that their power needs are prioritised. This company seems to be an energy company primarily for data centres, but won't put it past these companies to try and get non-data centric energy companies and changing their priorities..

Google is expanding their vertical monopoly deeper into the energy sector. Will the Trump admin oppose this acquisition or are we all going to eventually get electric bills from Google in the future?
<b>
Alphabet to acquire data center and energy infrastructure company Intersect</b>
<blockquote>Google parent Alphabet on Monday announced it will acquire Intersect, a data center and energy infrastructure company, for $4.75 billion in cash in addition to the assumption of debt.
Alphabet said Intersect’s operations will remain independent, but that the acquisition will help bring more data center and generation capacity online faster.</blockquote>Full story: <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/22/alphabet-to-acquire-intersect.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/22/alphabet-to-acquire-intersect.html</a>

His "company" is based in Scumdar's fecal homeland anyways and pretending to be from the USA with a generic NY multi-business address that doesn't even have his business name listed on the alphabetized directory.
Fuck him and all the spammers from that shithole.

I was thinking more along the lines of a vulcan, but the smile would need to go because vulcans are emotionless. Hold one hand up with a vulcan v salute along with the saying "spam long and prosper."

I see some of our most important keywords in the absolute top position, but we don't get any traffic from them. Therefore it's no big loss if you're not on page 1 or if you appear on page 1000 because the traffic will be similar. Search is dead, and I surely hope more publishers quit posting content to feed Google's AI.

The update won't remove what is stealing all the traffic. Google is fully engaged in spamming of the ads, AI Slop and those terrible People Also Ask boxes at the top of the page. The rank of #1 is buried deep down the page, or sandwiched between Google's own spam, users don't even see it to click on. Only a reduction in Google's own garbage, not this core update, would lead to more traffic to publishers.

Google wants to be "THE WEB", your one stop shop for EVERYTHING. The only regulation that will come from the Great Orange One and GOP will be to help AI rather than the small businesses that are hurt.

Google is destroying the Open Web. It doesn't care about publishers. It doesn't care about small businesses. All it cares about is AI and its own profits. Regulation and lawsuits will become more prevalent, as Google has created a situation where there is very little risk in joining class-action suits; if we are all going to die anyway, we may as well die fighting.

Our Google traffic has been a series of big peaks and valleys since the core update started (not unlike what happened with last summer's core update). Our pages that usually get the highest traffic also fell out of our top 10 on some of those low days.
Still, this is always a sluggish time of year for our travel information site, and whatever recovery we do or don't see may have more to do with user behavior, the economy, changes to Google's SERP layout, etc. than with the latest core update.
