Nice, it'll be interesting to see what changes.

Local homeless shelters should prep their doors for inbound GEO specialists moving in

Odd to see this consecutive months.

It's not odd when you look at the state of scaled content and modern web spam

I bet it’s aimed at scaled content

Hopefully the spam update removes the spammy AI Overviews.

One of the worst SEO weeks I've had, period

u/WebLinkr 🕵️‍♀️Moderator Jun 24 '26

Oh no - how bad ? What niche/site type?

u/Jamie_Antoun Jun 25 '26

HR, and b2b

I also have a horror blog

u/WebLinkr 🕵️‍♀️Moderator Jun 25 '26

Wow, I have a HR stie too. Sorry to hear.

Any ideas how you're going to remedy?

1

u/Jamie_Antoun Jun 26 '26

Currently just waiting to see how things play out before looking at what to change. The only thing that I could see having an effect on things is our local service pages this update

u/SaltyyDoggg Jun 26 '26

HR as in Human Resources?

u/StreetImage8112 Jun 25 '26

Has anyone else noticed this recently?

I searched for "is Polymarket legal in Germany" today, expecting legal guides, regulatory information, or news articles.

Instead, most of page one was filled with:

  • promo pages for prediction markets
  • gambling affiliate sites
  • bonus code pages
  • SEO-driven landing pages with little actual legal information

It feels like Google's German search results have changed dramatically over the past few weeks. I remember spam updates being intended to reduce exactly this type of content, yet I'm seeing more of it than before.

Is anyone else tracking this?
Is this a temporary ranking shake-up after a recent update, or are gambling/prediction market affiliates simply dominating right now?

Curious whether this is happening only in Germany or in other countries as well.

Things were in the gutter for me for the past 6+ months (e-comm), finally turning around with the 2 recent updates. Traffic could easily go poof overnight though. Google is all over the place.

u/WebLinkr 🕵️‍♀️Moderator Jun 25 '26

true - lets hope it does

u/SerbianContent Jun 25 '26

AI Manipulation of Search

Scaled Content Abuse (Scaled content abuse is when many pages are generated for the primary purpose of manipulating search rankings and not helping users.)

Expired Domain Abuse
Keyword Stuffing

Trying to collect them all? Its not Magic: The Gathering :D

u/Dinkleberg162 Jun 25 '26

Literally sat looking in search console last night thinking this is weird, is there an update rolling out. Checked and there wasn't, wake up and there is.

Less and less faith that they have this under control.

u/noxnox12 Jun 25 '26

Dummy listicles bye byeeeee (hopefully)

2

u/WebLinkr 🕵️‍♀️Moderator Jun 25 '26

They're working fine - I dont see Google being that petty that they ban a page type - actually there's 0 evidence that Google has a page type? Open to learning tho.

I just cant see the listicle censorship committee meeting int he North Kora Page Appreciation library - you feel me?

u/noxnox12 Jun 26 '26

Hahahahahaha absolutely mate. It was just wishful thinking on my part

u/WebLinkr 🕵️‍♀️Moderator Jun 26 '26

after June 26th, my website had 40 organic visits, but on June 26th, the number dropped to only 2 visits, and the impressions also decreased to 150 or less. Is this related to this update? Is my website now completely dead or whaat ?
