DramaShout143 commented on Google Search Ranking Volatility Heats Up April 22 Through 23

Trying to revive our SMALL/INDEPENDENT sites is like finding a needle in a haystack. Totally, No Hope. Google decided that BIG SITES and AI is the WAY FORWARD. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/35103cd843f1078c590bf8219f640fd4a611946c0110cf5a83170389dcf8cb22.png

Only advertisers want to turn them off. From the perspective of an average search user, AI Overview is a great feature. Therefore, even if a disable button were provided, the usage numbers are unlikely to drop significantly.

That being said, I have noticed a slight increase in rankings lately for longer tail keyword phrases, so I think there is some effort in getting small sites to rank again still taking place. Notes: The numbers are bogus here. I have gotten more than 10 clicks for this over 7 days. I would assume at least 10 in 24 hours. Some gangster inside Google deleted my Google Search Console property (this domain), and I had to create it again over the past month. The timing coincides with a new Google Chrome measure to push me to use a pin code instead of passwords. I think this was done on purpose to delete my data, and the pincode is a smokescreen. Now I can't post any of my old graphs and charts because Google deleted the history. Can you imagine this? It was definitely a setup. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f9f01efa1aa8210595547f9fcab6a3ba76dc21b73378f44dc24b85fd90e2ad64.png

I'm noticing more People Also Ask links high up in search results pages. In my opinion, it's one of their many tactics to boost Google traffic to be considerably higher than ChatGPT, so they can say they get much more traffic than chatbots, which is a buffer they feel they need to have in order to get average users to conclude that Google is better. Today, I noticed a People Also Ask box in P2. Second on the page...I'm not exaggerating this. To combat this corruption, we must request unique visits instead of total page view numbers.

DataDonkey commented on Google Says Image Streaming Is Not SEO Friendly

<blockquote>Google's John Mueller pretty much said that using image streaming techniques will not result in an SEO friendly outcome.</blockquote>Johnny Boy's convicted employer Google isn't friendly to advertisers or consumers either.

I wonder why Judge MeatHa took so long dragging his feet with Google when Judge Brinkenema isn't taking any shit and scheduled the remedy phase to start May 2? This judge is going to kick MeatHa's laggy ass. US judge sets May 2 hearing to discuss remedies in Google digital ads lawsuit - <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-judge-sets-may-2-hearing-discuss-remedies-google-digital-ads-lawsuit-2025-04-25/">https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-judge-sets-may-2-hearing-discuss-remedies-google-digital-ads-lawsuit-2025-04-25/</a> <blockquote>A U.S. judge has set a May 2 hearing to discuss remedies the U.S. Justice Department and a group of states might ask the court to impose on Google after it ruled the Alphabet unit illegally dominates two markets for online advertising technology.</blockquote><blockquote>U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, in the Alexandria, Virginia federal court, indicated the hearing aims to get an early and broad sense of the potential remedies before focusing on specific measures.</blockquote>Edit: Why can't the victims (us) have any input into the remedies?

My websitte dropped from 30k users per day to lesse than 10k. Completely gone from Discover (70% of the traffic). Don't know what to do. I thin I will just try to be a Youtuber.

Yes. I'm seeing this, too. Although still indexed, my articles keep losing their ranking. What is going on??? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7d3d3c95220c884e2bd45b014eb34461a6479e6f7300c0407392bac311873cea.png

Durant Imboden commented on Alphabet Google Ad Revenue Up 8.5%, Overall Revenue Up 12%

"Google Network" revenue continues to drop, which makes sense with Google trying to keep more traffic on its own properties. Maybe, if Google is forced to sell off its ad business, we'll see a competitor stepping in to do a better job of working with publishers on the open Web.

Bitchai/Google are soulless cksuckers. There's no understanding shitdemons like them who have no honor or morals and endlessly lie, so don't even try to. The closest mindset that overload of greed shares is with the hardest drug addicts, where it inevitably gets so out of control that no amount of something will ever be satisfying enough.

You make a good point too that they are all pretty much the same. However, Google is the leader of the pack and any searches we do with Google is essentially rewarding what they've done to us. Rewarding Google with my business (ad spend, searching, etc.) is not something I want to do.

problem with these big companies is that they never get enough, I mean do they even feel the presence? do they have sense of "enough"? feeling of the moment? or they just live for mooooore? because that's the surest way to live unhappy life mr. Pichai ehmm

Good point and me angry too. But the problem is, if we use someone else, we'll be doing the same with them and they'll be doing the same a-hole things.

At this point I think it's best to just avoid all of Google to not contribute to the number of queries they get or revenue they get from CPM ads. Seeing Google's record profits, and the misery they caused to achieve those profits, leaves me angry.

A lot of good comments below I agree with (Google does what they do for money and not for quality or the betterment of delivering accurate/quality information to users). I just wonder when smaller publishers will reach the point where they determine allowing Google to crawl their content does more harm than good? If all Google does is scrape new content for their AIO, and sends little to no traffic to small publisher's pages, why would these publishers continue allowing Google to crawl their content?

<blockquote>What they doing, I can't understand.</blockquote>Come on Ted, deep down you know exactly what they are doing - making bank by stealing our content, spinning it and displaying it to users to keep them on Google's site and clicking ads. Coming to this realization can be tough, because it provides no hope for the future, but it's the truth. The one constant in all of Google's actions is profit, which Google is now achieving by taking the money out of our wallets and food from our kitchen tables.

Are the ones that appear when you expand also all sponsored or only the first unexpanded line? You know it's "such a good idea" that Google will copy.

LSA photos are sometimes group shots of the company. That is what I was thinking here. Am I off?
