  • 5 things that led to a Google HCU recovery (and 3 that didn't)

    Oct 14, 2024 | searchengineland.com | Leigh Stark

    The past year has been a rollercoaster for publishers navigating an increasingly crowded web. With competition rising and AI shaking up search results, staying on top of rankings is no small feat – especially in light of Google’s constant updates.

    If you’re a regular reader, you might notice some changes to our design. We’re doing things, and you’re the reason why. We’ve written about technology for a while, and Pickr turned seven this year. It’s been that long since this journalist left GadgetGuy and started playing more on his own, building his own presence with a detailed and transparent news, reviews, and tech analysis website. Already in that time, we’ve been through a few design iterations, and now, we’re doing another.

There's a video of that guy who ruined Twitter doing a Nazi salute. Because of course there is. But folks that support Musk... what is wrong with you? It's a literal Nazi salute. **waits for the "oh no, he was just stretching his arms"**
