When I look at the resutls it's pure AI slop, even he big parasite media companies are all aboard. Junk slop everywhere including the AI overviews. since the September helpful update they have made the results worse than ever so you have AI overviews junk or AI slop on Authority sites. yet they keep making record profits.

It was bad and it is getting worse...you do not know when it will be the absolute worst. Must invent a new word for when it is even worse than the absolute worst.

Thanksgiving Google Search Ranking Algorithm Volatility
Like I’ve already commented some time back, we shouldn’t be surprised by the massive drop in traffic or conversions because it is the festive period now. If anyone notices, just a week before Halloween last month, the same happened. Then, after Halloween, things were picking up - some regulars here were so happy reporting the boost in traffic.… And, as usual, 1-2 weeks before Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, the massive throttling and drop happen again.
I wouldn’t be surprised if traffic drops to zero in December as Google tries to capture as much ad revenue as possible.
Anyway, my website and webhost have all expired. So I doubt I will comment much in future, but I will still drop by every now and then to see the updates and how you all are doing. Good luck, good folks!

I thought yesterday was the worst day in the last 3-4 months, but now you see that this day will be the worst day in the last 6 months. Traffic has completely dropped, traffic from Discover has simply disappeared.

Hard daily work and absolutely no traffic. Just unbelievable. The only thing that got worse was when Google shadowbanned the website.

The Google Crime Syndicate already stuffed their wallets with our money, so now they're off to new things like signing a deal with NATO.
<b>NATO and Google Cloud Sign Multi-Million Dollar Deal for AI-Enabled Sovereign Cloud</b> - <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nato-and-google-cloud-sign-multi-million-dollar-deal-for-ai-enabled-sovereign-cloud-302623269.html">https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nato-and-google-cloud-sign-multi-million-dollar-deal-for-ai-enabled-sovereign-cloud-302623269.html</a>
<blockquote>Google Cloud today announced a significant, multi-million-dollar contract with the NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) to deliver highly secure, sovereign cloud capabilities. This strategic partnership is a major step in bolstering NATO's digital infrastructure, strengthening its data governance, and enabling it to securely leverage cutting-edge cloud and AI capabilities.
NCIA selected Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) to support the Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC). JATEC will leverage this infrastructure to modernize its operational capabilities and handle classified workloads.</blockquote>

I'll call it the <i>Blah Friday Update</i> in recognition of the few sales ahead of Black Friday. Google will probably be even worse after Friday.

I think that's not new. I'm fairly sure I had that problem every single time I got caught in a test of this in the past 10 months.

what dates? I am not seeing a huge amount of chatter - maybe because of Thanksgiving?

That's what i was thinking too. Or, I saw on X, that the new Web guide people are seeing it live now, and not in the search labs. Could be a reason as well.

Although we 'feel' it, it is still no offical update. Maybe it is some update to increase the ad space and so on, to cash in on black friday

I totally concur with what you are saying, everyone who can do anything is too corrupt by money (Democrats) or too scared of Trumpty (Republican)
That PAC who are going after NY Senator is scarey. All the PAC has to do is find or bribe his opponent and have unlimited cash to promote. The PAC man, lol or woman will avoid talking about AI or talk it up. They say the important thing is the Economy but AI is the greatest threat to the economy but if you don't know, you've not been paying attention. PAC man will sell his soul for election

Google Jokes About Future GEO-Detox Billable Work
"But is GEO a fad?" Until and unless we have evidence that it's not a bubble, it's as much a fad as voice search was a few years ago.
