Alright y'all buckle up. I just read the latest "Think With Google" post and hoo boy do I have thoughts... Its premise is "What AI can and can’t do — and what that means for marketers" Cool, cool, cool... nice to see them acknowledging AI isn't EVERYTHING! #PPCChat

Run ads? You're going to want to see the results of our most recent experiment. 🧵 We wanted to know how ads *really* affect user behavior, so we decided to test it. To do that, we ran two experiments: searchenginejournal.com/ads-user-behav… #ppctips #paidmedia #paidsearch
Our experiment results are finally live! 🧵searchenginejournal.com/ads-user-behav… We wanted to know: If we reduce the number of ads on our site, would our audience like it and, therefore, read more and spend more time on the site? Turns out, no. #userbehavior #consumerbehavior #ppc

@IrishTimes If a manager doesn't know how to handle someone quietly doing their job to a high standard within their work hours...how are they going to handle any other situation?
I had to say no a lot. It was the only way to maintain a streamlined, focused search experience. It wasn't popular but was necessary.
While I never worked there, old-time Google friends have told me one of the most valuable things @marissamayer did during her many years leading search experience was simple: saying no. For those early years Google said no to the death-by-a-thousand cuts changes to search.
Such an underrated story here. It validates what has long been apparent from the outside: a deeply cautionary tale about a company slowly strangling one of the most successful golden goose monopolies ever built—and in the process worsening user experience on the web for everyone.
This article about how the ads team at Google pressured the search team to make it harder to distinguish organic results from ads and roll back improvements that made people use search less is a fascinating behind the scenes of poser plays in big tech. wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-ki…

On March 1st I ran the numbers for 4,000 'best [product]' terms to see who's dominating search results. I've just ran the numbers again and there are some interesting winners e.g. APNews. All numbers are how many additional first-place, top three (etc) rankings were attained.…
@ajkohn What's the point of a status dashboard if it's not actually a status dashboard? That's really damning.
Google’s PR team had time to “fact check” and respond to the information on @seroundtable from @edzitron’s article within 24 hours But no one fact checked @rustybrick, @glenngabe, me or others when we shared, daily for 7 days, that the March Core Update was still rolling out?…
Well folks- the heartless, faceless search team at Google has spoken… The March 2024 Core Update has officially been completed. And the result? An online ecosystem that is significantly more hollow, less diverse, and less helpful than ever before. Small, independent voices…

And there it is. The last nail in the coffin for many of us. ☠️ No transparency, no help, no heart. It’s now pay to win. Welcome to the future of Google Search. 🫡
