Clicks are slow trending up again. Discover seems to beryllium delivering for the news tract erstwhile more, and we are yet dominating our sub-niche successful Google News again. It really shouldn't person been that hard, considering we are the only mag specialized successful this taxable successful the DACH region, but Google thought different since the halfway update. AI garbage, successful particular, was dominating, but that has gone down complete the past 2 days. We implemented "Contentpass" connected the news site, and advertisement gross has been stabilizing since, useful amazingly well.

As for the shop: contempt the summertime holidays, we've seen bully gross complete the past fewer days. To beryllium honest, it surprises maine because half of the week was catastrophic, but the 2nd half wholly made up for that downturn.

I deliberation we are backmost connected way pinch you being the contra-indicator for my site: first half of the week was great, 2nd was a downturn and coming is the worst time of the week :) truthful "all good" again :D

We are seeing the same, awesome income successful the past fewer days, not integrated though.

We are connected the aforesaid site. Friday was a large dip, and Sunday was the worst time ever. Today is not looking better.

I conjecture Google started gross nonaccomplishment compensation from AI Overview by sidesplitting integrated traffic.
