Confessions of a Casino SEO Insider: What’s Working & What’s Failing? www.irishwonder.com/blog/2025/09...

Just came across a tool that compares different site speed metrics of up to 5 sites at a time, thought I'd share it: rumvision.com/tools/core-w...

Another aspect of the fallout is once the manipulation reaches critical mass, the platform stops being trusted because it's been too heavily spammed

Not the first time this is happening - any platform that was considered trustworthy by the search engines at some point was getting manipulated one way or another.

I wonder, has anybody ever tried suing an airport for their uncomfortable weighing area at luggage checkin where you just cannot put your suitcase unless you strain your back, leading to a bad case of sciatica?

Would it kill them to come up with some way to roll it there?

...network and can't because these scammers have grabbed them all 😱

"The websites hosting the stories appear to have formerly belonged to golf clubs, businesses and educational companies, and were taken over by opportunistic web publishers when the previous owners failed to renew the domain names" yikes and then you try to find domains for an honest decent private..

Apparently "guest posts" is nowadays an euphemism for paid content placement popularised by link marketplaces

BTW, the current form to report content on Google for legal reasons includes options for reporting content in AI Overviews and AI Mode

To clarify: the complaints are filed as DMCA but the actual text of complaints does not refer to any copyright violation but only to the fact this kind of content is illegal

Observing something pretty interesting. Non-English SERPs, a country where online gambling sites are illegal, the actual complaints submitted are (incorrectly filed) DMCA complaints, filed very recently, think few days, and the impact is in the SERPs already

We do realise this goes both ways, right?

Interesting, the previous Google spam update was all the way back in December 2024 and only took a week to fully roll out - this time, it's supposed to take a few weeks

Cat chatting to ChatGPT - yes he knows how to gain visibility for his site on ChatGPT

"Ranking on ChatGPT"? A thread:

Two extreme opposite messages are making rounds as of recently:

1. “Listen to me and I will teach you how to rank on ChatGPT”
2. ”You cannot rank your site on ChatGPT”

Both are, frankly, a bit BS. (1)
