My clients have said exactly the same thing in the past few months. By the way, Hiroko is she, not he.

adsense is the shittest ad catalogue they have, first they put all their high value ads on adX or other quality channels, those least interested or clicked ads will go to adsense network, and show on small publishers pages and waiting to be consumed.

My crash out guys: I'm not cross anymore, I am not cross or angry about my thousands of words being used to train these models and the fact these models... keep giving people my thoughts. I am just sad, I am sad for everyone on here who has lost everything overnight. I am sad for the user who can't find what they need, I am sad that Google posts on linkedin, how great they are doing, how innovative they are, that a new ad strategy is to focus on the 3 million youtubers to replace 38 million websites - because AI video techonology is not there yet. I don't blame google I don't blame them for trying to keep up with the competition, for the fact open ai spooked them. In all of this Google built something beautiful in search. Something that was iconic and people loved, publishes loved, everyone loved. It was never the money for me. It was so much more than that. The saddest part is ... It didn't need to be this way, Al could have been intergrated softly into our websites, we could have become more valuable to the advertiser by using AI to sell directly better, we could have used video better, we could have used our followers on other platforms better - we could have bought in so many ideas on how to convert, with our decades of experience.Because we are the trust that is missing and why AI is not converting. This opportunity was missed. People still want to read that quirky little website with the webmaster who has a special interest or a hobby website to learn how to fix something, and AI could have strengthened those websites, converted more ads. Sad thing.. that exciting web is harder to find. They could have helped us, worked with us... rather than destroy us.

I gotta say, the adverts I was getting on Adsense were so awful, DiscoverSphere, Hint & MyIQ, i switched back to Ezoic which is good and getting better adverts. Ezoic have transitioned to being a high service now, requiring 250K pagevisits a month but as I've been a member, I have been grandfathered.. I do agree, whats the point of Adsense now given how they are keeping all the traffic.

It's worth asking who's actually paying for all of this.

Sir, he said: <blockquote>Long time since I came here last time; hope everyone is doing alright, best you can! On Bing, my website is KING; on Google, the results are depressive. At least I know I'm doing a good job, and I already "told Google to go fuck a duck", I really do not care. Jokes aside, I'm still grateful for the clicks from Google, but something very BAD happened there, and they unfairly destroyed a lot of lifes... My website is very much alive, but <b>strongly because of Microsoft Bing!</b></blockquote>

Clicks and impressions are on an entirely different scale...What changed is your CTR.

I just wish Google would stop ars*ing about and give us a proper AI data tool for GSC just like Bing recently has done. Come on Barry weave some of your magic and while you're at it ask Nick Fox if he really believes that GEO/AIO are really just glammed-up SEO. Thanks

Golden Phoenix commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Remains Heated Through Weekend

I messed up TikTok I think. I was getting lots of views but one day my videos all stayed at 0. I don't know if I tagged wrong or did something wrong but my videos now get 0 views, which tells me I am shadowbanned. I just posted videos of our products, and no spam. But even when my videos wetting 10, 15k views, I was not getting traffic from TikTok

I think they do still care. I think we need to give it some time. Specialist publishers and news sites are genuine assets to their ad model and they are looking into it for you x

Anders Gerlev Herstrøm commented on Google Search Console AI-Powered Configuration Now Live

It's faster (for me) to just set up the filters like normal. I wish they would have spent their time fixing the date picker layout shift that occurs when months need 5 or 6 rows of dates instead, and added options for "last month" and "this month to date". Possibly even saving reports/configurations for later use. Though bookmarks do that job just fine.

Google only gives my website traffic, albeit minimal, on Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of the week, traffic from Discover and search is artificially limited to no more than 200 people every 30 minutes. And this has been going on for almost three months now! What the hell are they doing there?

My Bing traffic has quadrupled the last few months for one of my sites. I rank #1 for pretty much whatever I want. But can't be found in Google.

my bing growth is exactly as you'd expect for a high quality website. google on the other hand, impressions up, clicks way down.

i've discovered that it doesn't even matter to rank well anymore. traffic is stolen by aio. people do not click blue links like they used to.
