Of course, Forbes now faces the challenge of quickly compensating for these changes. They can’t simply place ads for every keyword across all Google pages. This shift will likely lead to a decline in their unique user count. /1

For over a decade, this system has worked exceptionally well, overshadowing many smaller publishers and limiting their opportunities. Of course, it will take time for these changes to fully sink in. /5

It will be interesting to see how long they can sustain this approach. Having worked with major publishers, I’ve observed that you’re either a top-tier player with exclusive advertising contracts or a competitor reliant on building a revenue model based on reach. /2

Tomorrow the DOJ will likely call for Google to spin out Chrome. I'm not sure that would make search much more competitive — but forcing the company to share search queries and results with its competitors in real time would www.platformer.news/google-break...
