BTW the site is advertising illegal casinos so all the checks that go on to limit this tuff slipping into the organic SERPs seems to have been forgotten when it comes to AI overviews

BUY LINKS everyone... they work until they don't! Doesn't matter how shit they are.... Google spam filters run about 8 weeks behind everything else, probably to save on the energy bills, so they can pay for AIOs When your site dies.... just get another one and do it all again

Are these the hidden gems that Danny Sullivan spoke about post HCU, the unexplainable miracles that not even Google engineers can explain. How this ranks is the easy part, its a crawlable webpage. How it outranks websites designed to specifically belong in this search space, is mystifying!

A new day another different dropped domain surging into the top spot... this time pumped into the snippet This query never has a rich snippet. These only appear when there's burst of traffic, which of course is fake traffic

I'm no football manager, or armchair coach for that matter. But my heart sank when I saw Anthony Gordon subbed off for a defender... that was not a post game reaction in anger, we were still 1-0 up. I just knew straight away it was a mistake.

Not new news... but which AI firm do we think has bought this domain (someone surely?) Paging the search oracle @rustybrick.com because I'm betting one of them has acquired this and I'm an SEO conspiracist It would make a good ai chat brand afterall Surprised they didn't pivot to an AI ask tool

These spam domains took less than 48hrs to go from zero to top rank with a canonical chain from penalised sites Google took only 1 week to respond to Press Gazette about a similar exploit in Discover @methode.bsky.social Organic SERPs have been hacked, EXPLOITED and yet, nothing, SILENCE Why?

Hey @johnmu.com silly question.... but if I request indexing in GSC and then make a change an hour later or so, is it likely that the fresh indexing has happened already, so my new edits won't be included? I appreciate the crawler will eventually pick it up, but is there a window for GSC requests

X is fucked up.... I mean this is proper fucked up, no? I rejoined today to follow some SEOs posting about various controversies in the space right now. I made a brand new profile and obviously put in a few details but kept it vague This is my follow suggestions Are you f'ing kidding me?

This is a windup, right? An early April fools maybe? 1hr after the spam update finishes 7 out or 10 results are Blackhat or Google "ordained" spam SEO tactics +1 PPC Spam ad that is supposed to be banned! #spamupdate #whatspamupdate

Apparently Chuck Norris has accidently round house kicked himself in the face. Which unfortunately no man on earth can survive. Not even Chuck Norris Thanks for the memes and hopefully being a good sport with their light-hearted intent RIP Chuck Norris

Dropped domain, pumped with shit links, canonicalized to a new .uk.com so the owners can impersonate a brand. Google... Here you go, have all the rankings you need, come though the back door and bypass all the spam detection.

The Media swarming on a Reuters story that allegedly reveals the true identity of Banksy, is everything we despise about the British press. You can't have nice things in the UK, invasive journalists will always look for a sting
