Yeah, but I’m not convinced it’s *just* the AI boxes either. Google’s been shuffling the deck so much lately it’s hard to tell what’s actually causing the hit and what’s just the SERP being a mess for a few days. Affiliate pages do seem to get it worse though, no surprise there. Anything that lives off the click gets kneecapped the second Google decides to answer the query itself and sprinkle in some random junk underneath. Real genius move, as always. Right…
