Interesting inside in the March 2024 Google Core Update. Glad that my sites are currently not in focus of it (but well the Update can take more than 2 Weeks) https://lnkd.in/dh36VU2i

Hello Roger Montti, I have read your article, "Google's Indifference To Site Publishers Explained." You have put your idea on why Google becomes indifferent to sites. You also mentioned the way to attract Google, which is through the "user experience." The important line for me is, "Google's response for the past month is that they're investigating how to improve." Does it mean that when we get feedback from the Search Console, we should address them ASAP? You always stress "user experience." I have read this idea in your many articles. As an article writer, writing an article is easy, but writing an article with the best user experience is too hard.

This Is The Change That Is Needed Google's algorithms are literally created to provide a good user experience and is evaluated to that standard. From Google's perspective the algorithm is working if user satisfaction metrics say it's working, wholly indifferent of the publisher's viewpoint as search traffic diminishes with each new Google Search Feature. The disconnect in how Google measures success and the indifference to publishers is built into Google Search. It starts with Google's indifferent mission statement to make information "universally accessible and useful" and ends with the rollout of an algorithm that is 100% indifferent to how publishers experience it. https://lnkd.in/g3FwSGHP

Lately, Google search results have been a topic of discussion for many. It’s true, Google is providing less results per search, than they ever have. The current average is 400 down from 1,000. These conversation’s usually result in a sharing of ideas to provoke Google to provide more results. I once contributed to a conversation, saying to search in incognito mode. It’s true, doing so does provide a more varied list of search results but this option can be inconsistent and doesn't solve the problem. Operators however, the unsung heroes of Google search, surely can.   Instead of trying to manipulate Google to provide more results, it seems time might be better spent focusing on making the results Google does provide, as tailor made to the user's needs, as possible. When receiving 1,000 results, users could still find what they were looking for, most of the time. Users now have 60% less to work with. Can you be sure you’re finding what you need without advanced search operators? I wouldn’t bet on it and you shouldn’t either.
