The Helpful Content Update wasn’t about the content and the hope of recovery wasn’t about to happen. Web publishes hit by the Helpful Content Update in September 2023 who attended Google’s Web Creator Summit at the Googleplex this week were told the hope they’d held for seeing their rankings recover were likely in vain and that those placements were gone and not likely coming back. Oh, and it wasn’t about the content. Jim Hedger and Kristine Schachinger talk about the disappointment and what disappointed publishers might do. They also talk about how Google has rolled AI Overviews out to over 100 countries, how Google is looking at similarity of content across websites, the no-data bug in GSC, SearchGTP, and the costs to Microsoft of growth through the development OpenAI. The show also looks at a number of pre-election issues and laughs about the 20 decillion dollar decision the Russian courts have leveled against Google. A fun news banter sort of show.
