I agree. Inflation is fuelling it. The crazy thing is AI is not that popular not many of us use it or want it

This meant Google stock dropped 4.8% on a stupid service that no-one will download or use. The stock market is not digital people they have no idea, just a gravy train of old people that don't get online.

That is sad but expected why bother paying for website when it does not ROI anymore due to this stupid AI hype. AI is not making money, it is a loss leader. Stupid strategy to hype up the stock market.

had a small catch-up with a friend who designs websites and does SEO for clients... here's what she showed me: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cd1fad82a168fb3ea6761bea43c3115ac626a9cc8092b5fec04ec3f04a208565.png many of her clients have either went out of business or pivot to simply social media... no one prioritize about website or SEO anymore... like me, she feels she may have to start finding another job soon...

Hi, I am seeing ranking volatility for my site till last Friday, 17 October my website ranking is good, but when I check today(22 October) for some keywords, my website is not ranking even on the 10th page, before ranked on the 3rd page. Does anyone face the same issues?

Andon commented on Google Voice Search Now Using Speech-to-Retrieval (S2R)

Since voice searches are no longer transcribed into text by Google, is it safe to assume that we will not see any of the queries in Google Search Console or Google Ads?

@disqus_mhdmnl16vr:disqus I always search with AI off but its not something that Google actively promotes. For more info:- <a href="https://tenbluelinks.org/">https://tenbluelinks.org/ </a> Do 3x more searches, as eventually Google thinks someone will give in and click on an advert. Clicking on an advert is more beneficial than being bombarded with ads. Showing an advert on Google Search instead of a website is also more valuable. Google has lost the plot, lost innovation, lost focus and is instead reactionary. It's all gone t!ts up since Schmit left. When Eric left, we had PAA, Image search, etc. Image Search is a reaction to Pinterest and PicSearch rather than forging ahead on the same straight path. Scumdar has just turned the knob to max to destroy the internet. With a global monopoly, Mehta failed to take any meaningful action, so nothing will change. Most users, I'd guess, don't know of Bing, DuckDuckGo and Brave. If they see a feature on another site, they don't think is it good, they just do it to prevent a small number of users from running off. As Gabriel mentioned some time ago and reinforced what I said, if Google actually directed people to sites instead of answering, they would probably make more money. Sites show ads, which Info answers on Google don't. Google is only increasing in revenue because they are branching out and also due to inflation; they are neglecting their core values. I think in the second quarter, didn't Google lose money in an area? Although their money is increasing, I'd love to see an inflation adjusted comparison of their advertising.

I typed in American NFL football player Lamar Jackson name in Google search and the two sites that appeared on top stories were Times of India and Hindustan Times. Smh

Jacek Rużyczka commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility From October 15th To 17th

I'm afraid that many, or even most, of us will crash in the medium run. Our chief editor has even written a protest letter against Google's AI mode because it basically dries up the current ecosystem publishers use to thrive in. Unfortunately, he hasn't mentioned the upcoming AI summary for Discover, which may give us another painful hit. Neither hasn't he listened to Liz Reid's last gaslighting.

Same but whatever traffic is coming in, it's converting like crazy on two of my sites. Strange.

Sam commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility From October 15th To 17th

I posted a legit link now it thinks I am a spammer. Anyway I don't get the whole thing. Why force people to use AI why not have an on/off button, and why make a user do 3x as many searches because even with that it will not create more revenue than a visitor seeing 5-10 ads on my one webpage. It all does not make sense. I don't understand the Google strategy tbh it is going to crash I think.

I think Google meant to say there would be more gaslighting updates moving forward, and there have been.

"earn from ads and affiliate" - if you're earning, I think I'll give it a last try as well, now I'll spam, and I'll make sure to be nasty about my level of spamming. Being a good person doesn't work these days especially when it's dealing with a nasty company like G, it's worth going the crooked way.

I even think if someone keeps spamming, they'll profit. It's crystal clear by now that white hat SEO is dead.

It won't, atleast in the near future, I suppose. The conditions so bad that I've lost my last hope of fixing it. Never in my life had I imagined the real-time traffic to hit 1 or 2. Just like you said, "As soon as I post my posts get a detected spam thing on them." - I'm pretty sure G is implementing some or the approach to be sure that the traffic hits 0. I've finally given up, this thing isn't in my hands any longer.

Real time traffic is 1 or 2 no matter when I'm checking the analytics.
