Thanksgiving Google Search Ranking Algorithm Volatility
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.

Google's Thanksgiving 2025 Doodle Goes To An AI Mode
Yeah it's unfortunate that the google doodle doesn't explain tiny chef alongside providing the recipes after you click on it. Feels like theyre giving half-assed props to cheffy. There is a nice (albiet extremely brief) explainer on the google doodle site for today's doodle, but I only found it after being curious as to why the doodle would include him but then not explain who he is or anything.

Ahhh. Someone who has never helped a plumber rank is making fun of things he knows very little about. The cycle of Google continues.

One must ask where's the tax on Google and other tech companies destroying these jobs with their technology? Also, why are these companies still getting subsidized when they are the ones responsible for causing widespread economic harm? Who will fund all levels of government when these job losses rise and income taxes fall? A real lack of AI policy in the US leaves me with many questions. We're winning the AI race for sure - the race to the bottom.
<b>MIT study finds AI can already replace 11.7% of U.S. workforce</b>
<blockquote>Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday released a study that found that artificial intelligence can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, or as much as $1.2 trillion in wages across finance, health care and professional services.</blockquote>Full story: <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/26/mit-study-finds-ai-can-already-replace-11point7percent-of-us-workforce.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/26/mit-study-finds-ai-can-already-replace-11point7percent-of-us-workforce.html</a>
