Google's own status dashboard shows nothing. No confirmed update since the June spam update wrapped. Meanwhile the trackers lit up Aug 1 to 3, cooled for a day, then spiked harder into the 5th and 6th, and the forums are filling up with overnight traffic-drop posts again. Barry at Search Engine...

The Japanese keyword hack is having a moment. Reports this week have a fresh wave chewing through WordPress sites and walking straight past WordFence, Sucuri and Malcare. Plugin says clean, site is not. Quick anatomy for anyone who has not met it: the hack generates pages of autogenerated...

@DJ.Bud sent me a video this week about ranking with basically no SEO, and the same idea keeps coming past me in different wrappers: traffic is stronger than backlinks now. So I pulled the numbers on the example people keep citing, because if it is real I want to be doing it...

Half this forum runs some kind of micro SaaS or is duct-taping one together right now, so this is for you. I sell links, not software, but I have been in the retention data that came out this year and some of you should probably see it before you quit your job to build a rank tracker lol. Bad...

It's the weekend, so no shop talk. Give me the dumbest, most indefensible hill you will die on. Nothing about money or rankings. Mine is not even close: the imperial system is nonsense and metric won this argument two centuries ago. Twelve inches to a foot, three feet to a yard, 1,760 yards to...

Reviews are vanishing off GBP listings at scale this month, and people are misdiagnosing it in both directions. Two separate things are happening at once: The bug/abuse wave: since around July 3, Google has confirmed they're investigating reviews disappearing and new reviews being paused on...

Sanity check on the June spam update, now the dust has had two weeks to settle. The rollout ran June 24 to June 26. Two days start to finish, and Google's only comment was that it was "a normal spam update", all languages and locations. Trackers read it as a bit bigger than the March one...

Every other site audit I look at lately has a freshly minted llms.txt sitting in the root, and the owner is convinced it's helping them show up in AI. Google just put that one to bed. They updated the AI optimization guide. The line that matters: "neither harm nor help your site's visibility...

GSC's page indexing report just refreshed after sitting frozen on June 11 for about three weeks. Now that people can see their graphs again, two things are landing at once: indexed-page counts stepping down over June spikes in the not-indexed buckets (crawled not indexed, 404, blocked by...

Saw the negative SEO thread earlier this week and figured this deserves its own post, because the variant that actually works in 2026 isn't links. It's paperwork. What's happening: people are filing fake DMCA copyright complaints against pages they want out of the SERPs. Google's process...

Caught this in the June updates and it's been rattling around my head. Google confirmed its spam policies now cover AI search -> buying or manipulating citations in AI Overviews and AI Mode gets treated the same as inauthentic backlinks. Same framework, same risk. They also changed how links and...
