Reply To: Google feels extra stupid lately

Yeah, I’m seeing the same kind of garbage. What’s annoying is it doesn’t even feel like a normal reweighting. It’s like Google just decides one page gets to live and the other one gets sent to the basement for a week, then flips it back for no reason. I’ve had pages with way better intent and linking get ignored while some weaker affiliate junk keeps floating. And before hankroot starts with the “well in most cases it’s quality” thing again — no, sometimes it really is just churn. Not everything is a content problem. I’ve had clean pages get hit after an update and nothing meaningful changed on-site. That’s the part that makes it feel extra stupid lately.
