The CMA resolutions are also delayed for 12 months, It seems UK is delaying for some reason.

Ah I just assumed it was Wordpress. But regardless of what it is, he can take the comments in house and remove the Discus issue instantly, if he wants to.

His site is not WP site, can you have WP comments without being a WP site, i don't know.

Barry doesn't care... he's been told multiple times by many different people about the commenting issues. The fix is easy.... swap from Discus to normal WP comments and you have full control.

was able to double impressions in 5 weeks on bing, not bad. it's not something to live off, but definitely something to flip, buy sell and over. and ideally in various niches, https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9a996260ef5164e4c240e29c2bae78ea032c5e0679ac7eb7084aad78b9a26d6c.gif

Disavow Google instead. Disavowing links will NOT lead to a miraculous recovery when Google is using AI Overviews to steal all the traffic with content they stole from us. The disavow option is a psychological warfare tool designed to keep webmasters chasing their tails and oblivious to Google ripping them off. Don't fall for it or waste time on this nonsense.

Excellent. The next step in your recovery process is to delete the sites and go get a job and you'll finally be cured.

I think this is really interesting and explains so much of what is happening in my e-comm shop so I'm sharing it here. I've been searching for my own items, by title, within the website I sell thru and searching other seller's titles to see where they come up or if they do. I asked Google / AI how to improve them - and consequently discovered during the process that the similar group of items that Google showed me as examples actually had MY ITEM in that group - with a shorter, re-written title. I was astonished and had to look again to be sure it was mine. I asked AI about it and there IS such a thing as a ' rewriting engine.' Quote: " Neither E*** nor Google will permanently rewrite your title but they will both digitally alter it's appearance or limit its visibility in search results to improve clarity for shoppers." Gah! No wonder it's not working. I thought my titles showed up as written. Apparently not! So, all of my efforts following suggestions to 'improve' titles, etc, is for naught. It will be rewritten by Google no matter what. So I've decided to use the rewriting engine for new listings to see what happens. Okay then. I give up thinking I know how to do this. Guess I'm gonna have to join 'em (AI). Maybe everyone knew this but me...... (shrug) but at least I'm finding out why my listings are not selling. :) And I may have to search for the rewritten title in Incognito Mode on a different browser to see what is actually presented to the world.....

The step 1 for fixing this is removal of the Ep* administration that is supercharging this kind of monopolistic "laws don't apply to us" abuse. Nothing will improve before step 1 is completed.

It will only get worse because Google is a government sanctioned monopoly in the USA. Hopefully other countries will, to quote a Google Ads rep I could barely understand, do the needful. <a href="https://youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?si=gVFDu-4mgeAn5Fg0">https://youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?si=gVFDu-4mgeAn5Fg0</a>

Massive enshitification effort. And also notice that Google puts its own stupid website youtubeDOTcom in first 3-5 places in most queries. Clearly not legal since they are monopoly in search.

Serps get worse and the CEO gets a big raise with more incentives to keep on enshitifying the web. <b>Alphabet’s New Pay Plan Could Push Pichai’s Earnings to $692M</b> - <a href="https://www.analyticsinsight.net/news/alphabets-new-pay-plan-could-push-pichais-earnings-to-692m">https://www.analyticsinsight.net/news/alphabets-new-pay-plan-could-push-pichais-earnings-to-692m</a> <blockquote>Alphabet Inc. has introduced a new compensation structure for CEO Sundar Pichai that could significantly raise his earnings over the next three years. According to a regulatory filing, the total value of the package could reach $692 million if the company meets key performance targets.</blockquote>

So I wake up early and the SERPs are a complete mess. Even worse than before. So sad. I have also noticed number of listings are reduced. Used to be 10+ pages for my searches. Now it's 3 or 4. I am not surprised.

Who needs AI guardrails anyway? <b>Google's Gemini AI chatbot drove man to suicide, lawsuit says</b> - <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2026/03/04/google-sued-over-gemini-ai-chatbot-and-suicide/88984927007/">https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2026/03/04/google-sued-over-gemini-ai-chatbot-and-suicide/88984927007/</a> <blockquote>Google was sued on Wednesday by the family of a Florida man who said its Gemini AI chatbot, which he came to view as his "wife," drove him to paranoia and eventually suicide. According to a complaint filed in the San Jose, California, federal court, Jonathan Gavalas' life began spiraling out of control within days after he began using Gemini, culminating less than two months later in his October 2 death at age 36.</blockquote>

The disavow tool was created to help the clients of link buying SEO agencies who abandoned them after the Penguin algorithm was released in 2012. Anyone who is not buying links doesn't need to use it.

@disqus_tcrypv6vxh:disqus As the Government's chosen plan wasn't liked, its time to kick the can down the road in revenge. In the mean time, the BigTech can carry on with their evil ways. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15622191/AI-copyright-reforms-delay-backlash-creative-industries.html">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15622191/AI-copyright-reforms-delay-backlash-creative-industries.html</a>
