Good keyword research always brings traffic if you do good posts.
Has worked for me all the time.

Imagine when they implement some kind of video solution...people are too lazy to read nowadays, TikTok SEO is growing and I don't doubt Google will show YT shorts and similar quick videos as some of the most important results , I know it's already happening, but something with a different layout giving more priority and visibility to it. When this kind of thing happens, the traffic will dramatically decrease

Stop complaining, no one here can contribute to a change,
You're wasting your time and effort trying to make a fight with no possible rewards,
Take advantage of the available search and possible ROI to be made within the industry as long as it lasts,
There is still room for a ton of traffic & earnings, if something doesn't work any longer, you have to adapt, that's part of life,
Google don't own you s**t, neither do they care about your business(es), that's not the way to change or fight their corruption either

Since when do you lookup google and press the sponsored everytime, or never scroll to the bottom, or even to page 2? I think this is a made up issues, everyone has the same possibility for exposure depending on their subject. People don't just blindly click the top, otherwise why would google show 10? they all get some kind of traffic.

You can try to rank on Bing, Yandex and other alternative search engines if you are not happy with Google

You can use Google-like search engines and analytics tools.
such as: Yandex and Yandex Metrika, Bing & Bing Webmaster, Microsoft & Microsoft Clarity.
also analytics tools: as SEMRUSH, SIMILARWEB, SITECHECKER & e.t.c
Good luck!

I have to disagree with you on this. you can tell what is an ad and what is not because you are in the field. your typical milf will just look at the google screened results and call them.

It is true, they are trying to blend them in more and more.
However, as far as I know, only around 4% of searchers click on ads on average across niches.
There is also an "ad blindness" phenomenon they have to deal with. That's why they change how they look all the time.

Yo my G...I feel you....but it’s not all doom and gloom. I've been using Social media more for free traffic instead of only relying on Search as before.
At the end of the day, free traffic isn’t dead—it’s just evolving. The ones who adapt fastest win. Experiment with AI tools for content creation, leverage schema markup, and stay on top of algorithm updates, and try getting more on some of your social media that makes sense for what you're doing.

If your focus is traffic from organic only then you need to focus on keywords that show less of Google's crap. I recently stumbled into an industry where Google ads are not allowed so that's a lot of real estate I don't have to worry about competing with. I made some test sites and many were instantly high on the first page and 1 even has a featured snippet from time to time.

If that hot milf is looking for her baby cub i bet she would skip all of google's features with weird ai generated cougar and cubs stories and try to find a real cub.

The point is what does the average or typical web surfer do, not us heavy duty IM folks do. Average surfers are looking to get a question answered, which may or may not result in them actually going to a site from the Google page. In general, they don't scroll down or go to page 2. We've known for decades that the reason search results #1-3 or 4 get more clicks is because they are towards the top of that first page. Position 1 was roughly 30% likely to get clicked, position 2 was about 20% likely, 3 and 4 about 10%, and so on in the diminishing returns.
But if the question searchers are seeking gets answered more and more by an AI summary, snippet or Wiki quote box, there's no reason why they have to leave the Google page at all. It's as if G has taken a shrink ray and shrunken down the importance of being in the top SERP spot, regardless of how well your site has been optimized. That's the issue.
