Wow, great deep dive by James. Go read & share please 📉 Travel Lemming features heavily so a few quick comments: 1) My heart is warmed James found our LA content helpful 2) Most important quote from me: “I’m definitely not saying we’re perfect” 3) Don’t worry about me personally. Travel Lemming survived the pandemic & will survive this 4) Many smaller blogs with helpful content may not survive though — and that is a massive problem for the open web 5) Travel guides have been a “real business” since at least the 1830s. Search replaced them. It’s fine to fairly shuffle around the publishers you carry in stock, but this is Google burning down more than half its virtual bookstore to make way for ads and for its AI

Dear @Google , As long as you continue using SGE and no-click search results, you are normalizing content theft and SEO manipulation. Furthermore, as long as you load search results with ads and sponsored results, you imply that the primary purpose of search is sales. This leads to sites stuffed with affiliate products and ads. If you’re as tired of that as you claim, try following your own advice to “create the web you want to see.” To wit: 1. Stop putting SGE at the top of results. Put it on a tab, or move it further down the page. (After 10 blue links is a good spot: people will be glad to see it then.) This will stop the screams of content theft while making the info still available to lazy users who, in time, will train themselves where to look for it. 2. Get rid of featured snippets, PAA and other excerpts that encourage people to target their content for those features at the expense of helpfulness. See above for why. 3. Stop shoving shopping results down our throats. Every time that you get it wrong, you blur the distinction between commercial and informational search intent. This leads to millions of pages loaded with affiliate links and products for sale because “if Google’s doing it, why shouldn’t we?” TL;DR Google: you created this mess. Stop digging in your heels defending it. Look back to where you started going wrong* and redo your work from there. *Might I suggest the day you removed “don’t be evil” as your motto? cc: @searchliaison

🚨*Google is messing with the SERP code again.*⚠️ Scans in @SerpSonar are currently not working! Apologies! Your keyword research and competitor analysis needs are very important to us. 🔧Technicians are hard at work to resolve the issue ASAP! 😅

Google shows site owners some love in its latest quarterly earnings call. They even said the L word. ❤️ But why the sudden affection after all these years? serpsonar.com/google-sge-lin…
