Ok I did it, thanks for sharing the link. I think others just haven't seen it yet frankly. I hadn't.

Scroll down where someone calls a travel blogger's content unoriginal because it allegedly featured a destination someone has already covered. A horrible take but also an example of SEO people who don't get travel content and are obsessed with putting the most unrealistic standard towards content creators

Ok, I'm filling out the form now. I will show you which URL should be ranking at the top instead of it being invisible.

The X SEO'rs are stepping in with comments in some manner against the no recoveries. They told us about how bad the content on these hit sites was and to get fixing. All this in the hope that a few weeks later they can show sites they have worked with bounce backs (evidence why to follow or hire them - it's business and how it works -- not an issue there). Now all sites have done the said fixes and the aftermath of the March Core, it's all way worse, they can't push any recovery stories. This hasn't gone to plan or experienced the same pattern as other updates I've seen (all know this). It's uniquely aggressive. I'm not knocking the X SEO guys as they have their place on the net, and they do offer some value. But it's kind of nice to see their story change as pre March Core made them see they can't flog that non helpful content horse any longer, to readers/followers/customers.

These companies couldn't care less. They can have great earnings, they sabotage their own products, fire employees anyway, screw a lot of hardworking small businesses who contributed to their success. It is rough. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a86acf80555cccea1a1ea96ed8975500e0a2c2ef0db2b5275a3a2f5b38a23cd1.jpg

Another round of layoffs at Google. Meanwhile, its stock is at all-time highs. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/961f7ab15fa10add7e461bab3236a22c37c90b2ff0e0f2c252e4f8dd76e69adb.png

I stumbled upon this accidentally. I don't put much stock in what this person says, but it's worth noting as even THEY, of all people, are starting to admit that legitimately high-quality sites have gotten caught up in Google's destruction. https://twitter.com/lilyraynyc/status/1785023549771522416 More and more of this stuff is coming to light, and if Google has any integrity left, they will try to address it. I think they are certainly aware of it.

Shannon commented on Google Search Flag GIF Leads To Nazi Flags

Double check. There are 2 "waving" buttons. The top one takes you to more American flags the second row of filters takes you to the Nazi flags.

If you didn't see it there are TWO "Waving" buttons. The top button will bring you to more American Flags, the button below that one takes you to the Nazi flags... Still... at 5:11pm EST May 1st. If you scroll it's ALL Nazi flags as well. ALSO, image #2 right now is the screen shot above of the flags on this exact post LOL!!!

For my HCU hit site, Google now only makes up 43% of traffic. It used to be 90% Thanks god for DDG and Bing who are slowly growing. Goolag sucks.

traffic diversification is cope for 90% of HCU-hit sites you are just switching one master with another br4b investing 1000 hours to build a facebook page and get like 100 views for every 100k likes br4b building 100k newsletter so that 100 people open the e-mail, 10 unsub and 90 ignore it. also, you need search traffic to built a newsletter in the first place; You first get the search traffic, then people sub. br4 slaving to pinterest daily br4b spamming twitter daily Also, most HCU-site are not even that marketable. They are 100% build for search and meant to be used like this - somebody has a problem - googlesit - finds your site Nothing marketable about 90% of those sites so, I guess traffic diversification is the new cope Social media traffic is cool for a specific product, but to market a content site daily - lol - enjoy though gg ez no re from me

Kaj Kandler commented on Google Knowledge Panel With Auto-Translated Text

Does Google do this translation based on location or based on the language profile I have selected in my browser? I have seen Google translate part of the user interface, solely based on the fact I was in Poland. That is not very helpful, because I don't speak Polish. I'd prefer if Google would respect the "Accept-Language" header as it is W3C standard.

snuffy commented on Most SEOs Did Not Send March 2024 Core Update Feedback To Google

Ranking is only one small part of the problem. Much of the problem is the design of the interface that a person receives when they type in a query and press "enter"'. We can't call that page a SERP because the first website in the search results can be 1000 or more pixels down. That top 1000 pixels is mostly ads, sponsored shopping results, people also ask, and other features that divert the "searcher" from real websites authored by real people. Many "searchers" never see the real search results.

Didn't happen for me here in the U.S. However, I VPNed into Montreal and went to Google.ca. Sure enough the search term was changed to Nazi Flag Waving Gif when clicking on the waving refinement

Google has farked me so badly that I'm actually in DEBT now. 2022 and 2023 were great years and my content was always in top 3, now nowhere to be seen. Like how the hell does that happen. Google search is putting up ad ridden content where the actuall valid content is copied from my site and pasted on other sites that are actually showing up in search..... WTF!!!

Cobra Kai commented on Google Search Flag GIF Leads To Nazi Flags

Hey wise Jew cat! Haha not sure I'm so much back as just lurking, but thank you! Seeing how hilariously ironic this story is with Google yet again showing their true ideology and when contrasted with some of their biggest cheerleaders, I couldn't resist publicly laughing. I'm still just as HCU-fucked as everyone else, so I'm doing as well as the rest of us still fighting to stay afloat on the Titanic were stuck on together. It's real good though seeing you changed your mind and came back here after your farewell post the other week. You always articulate the truth about Google in a uniquely special way that has an impact on everyone here. Your posts often pack a nice fuck you punch which undoubtedly stings any Googler reading it, as only the truth does with weak serial liars who hate hearing inconvenient truth and avoid it at all costs.
