get through and it takes me several hours to get to it. So please excuse any of that comment spam.
they really want to sell GPT optimization? haha :) google is not dying. They are destroying us but Google already has invested a ton in AI, actually has incredible models. I think this business is dying. Google unfortunately will be around for a long long time.
I am seeing even more drops tonight. It is such a mess. haha. I have 0 motivation to even maintain the sites. The day I completely move on will be my happiest day. I am so sick of this business now. There is no reward for honest work now
Absolutely the same. I don't understand what's going on. Sometimes the news gets into the index quickly, and sometimes it takes tens of hours. I was hoping this would be fixed at the end of the update, but it looks like the problem still remains.
They're hoping to find another revenue stream in AI before their advertisement goldmine runs dry, so they are milking every penny they can from the webmasters that made them a near $2-trillion company.
Anybody who thinks Google's search engine is getting worse accidentally is being too generous to these guys. Look at Gemini 2.5 Pro. I have tested it. Didn't pay for it because I refuse to pay Google. It's incredible at coding. Better than anything around. So Google can make that and can't show relevant results? This is on purpose. Seems like this current admin won't do anything to hold Google accountable.
It's good to see surveys like this. When I say my sites are going up, people tell me I'm trolling, but it's just that most people comment to complain, and reading the comments you'd think everyone was going down.
Besides, when I see the length of the posts and the assiduity of some people here, I tell myself that only the head of a business that has collapsed can have so much time, so it's bound to be those who are going down who comment the most.
But the reality is: 40% of sites that don't move and 40% of sites that go up. Good luck to you all!
I have had 10 compacompanies that I have sent proof of ownership it's been over a year and I can't get them verified haven't heard anything from where ever I sent all of my information would like to know what's going on?
Perfect song but not worthy for those soy SEOs. They need to stick with something more their style like something depressing and ghey from Nickelsack or Taylor Swift for their big woke cryfest get-together.
But yeah, it's for sure going to be a cringe shitshow in whatever the fuck they try to figure out in keeping their SEO scams on suckers going.
After SEOs got the Google Career Ending Penalty, the most requested DJ song would be Metallica's Fade to Black:
<blockquote>Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free</blockquote>I think it would be depressing with a bunch of SEOs meeting up. Maybe reminisce about the good times, back when it was easy to scam businesses out of their money, then top off the night in tears knowing AI Overyous is taking all the traffic and killing their clients so they have no money to spend.
I saw Kagi some time ago, I just dismissed it as another Google Wannabe with all the stuff I hate, PAA, Answers, Images, nothing too original about it.
I wonder how Sundar, the slumlord of search, would respond to people saying the search engine he is CEO sucks? Probably something self-serving like search Google more and click more Google ads. There's nothing epic about this story, but just more of the same - Google sucks badly.

Why I abandoned Google search after 27 years — and what I’m using instead</b> - <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/01/business/google-search-problems-alternatives-kagi/">https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/01/business/google-search-problems-alternatives-kagi/</a>
<blockquote>The story of Google’s declining usefulness (and increasing profitability) has been bubbling for years, as the company added more advertising, more sponsored links, and more of its own content to its search results page. As software developer and former Google employee Tim Bray put it last year: “These days, when I use Google Search or Chrome or Maps I just don’t feel like they’re on my side.”</blockquote>
What's your niche? Shadow ban. A lot of small publishers complaining back in 2019, on the help forums and then Google closed the thread. They never fixed it. Google human quality rater likely black listed you in news.
Nothing specific to reddit, but specific for what they advocate using some of our products for. We address what they shouldn't use our products for on our product pages, with the included instructions and also a note on their packing slip. For whatever reason, some people coming to our site directly from reddit just don't read anything we have to say despite so many attempts. Maybe a reddit redirect to a splash page, with a checkbox to agree and continue shopping, is the best way to deal with it so it's right in front of their face.
I'm not sure about him...but luckily there's so many "amazing" SEOs here:

Racefan01 you still have problem in indexing? I still have the problem but it's weird. For two or three days it's slow to index content, then for a day it's instant, and then for another two or three days it's super slow.
