Some are arguing about an update this weekend. But I am not seeing any change.

Yes, ecpm rates were down but that's it.

because probably it is. Myself seeing bursts of traffic.

Yes we are finally getting back what we lost during the December updates. But there is long way to go though.

@steve_g Sensors are also picking it. but not much.

20-30% rise in traffic but that's not for all pages. Only handful.

What do you mean by cleverly designed??

All Ai generated doesn't look bad. If they are edited properly. And that's what I meant.

@avinash If you are seeing traffic rise. Isn't that a good thing?

[mediadrug]

It was somewhat predicted.

Anyway, traffic is really rising. But don't know how long it will stay. All tech niche sites are seeing sharp rise for in-depth content.

If Google releases something that answers all questions like Pichai said. Then trust me they are in more trouble.

@mediadrug If that happens then shouldn't they be treated as a publisher as well ?

I mean who knows what their AI will learn from where .

So far they have gotten away !!

I don't think this time will be different.

Doesn't matter what shall happen.

Because G will loose users. When you aree giving answers you are also taking away the choice of user to choose.

This weekend traffic even fell more than usual. But rankings are unchanged.

And yes G is loosing users.

20% less traffic than last weekend.
