Google is (still) losing the spam wars to zombie news-brands

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me TONIGHT (May 3) in CALGARY, then TOMORROW (May 4) in VANCOUVER, then onto Tartu, Estonia, and beyond!

Even Google admits – grudgingly – that it is losing the spam wars. The explosive proliferation of botshit has supercharged the sleazy "search engine optimization" business, such that results to common queries are 50% Google ads to spam sites, and 50% links to spam sites that tricked Google into a high rank (without paying for an ad):

https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2024/03/core-update-spam-policies#site-reputation

It's nice that Google has finally stopped gaslighting the rest of us with claims that its search was still the same bedrock utility that so many of us relied upon as a key piece of internet infrastructure. This not only feels wildly wrong, it is empirically, provably false:

https://downloads.webis.de/publications/papers/bevendorff_2024a.pdf

Not only that, but we know why Google search sucks. Memos released as part of the DOJ's antitrust case against Google reveal that the company deliberately chose to worsen search quality to increase the number of queries you'd have to make (and the number of ads you'd have to see) to find a decent result:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/24/naming-names/#prabhakar-raghavan

Google's antitrust case turns on the idea that the company bought its way to dominance, spending the some of the billions it extracted from advertisers and publishers to buy the default position on every platform, so that no one ever tried another search engine, which meant that no one would invest in another search engine, either.

Google's tacit defense is that its monopoly billions only incidentally fund these kind of anticompetitive deals. Mostly, Google says, it uses its billions to build the greatest search engine, ad platform, mobile OS, etc that the public could dream of. Only a company as big as Google (says Google) can afford to fund the R&D and security to keep its platform useful for the rest of us.

That's the "monopolistic bargain" – let the monopolist become a dictator, and they will be a benevolent dictator. Shriven of "wasteful competition," the monopolist can split their profits with the public by funding public goods and the public interest.

Google has clearly reneged on that bargain. A company experiencing the dramatic security failures and declining quality should be pouring everything it has to righting the ship. Instead, Google repeatedly blew tens of billions of dollars on stock buybacks while doing mass layoffs:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/21/im-feeling-unlucky/#not-up-to-the-task

Those layoffs have now reached the company's "core" teams, even as its core services continue to decay:

https://qz.com/google-is-laying-off-hundreds-as-it-moves-core-jobs-abr-1851449528

(Google's antitrust trial was shrouded in secrecy, thanks to the judge's deference to the company's insistence on confidentiality. The case is moving along though, and warrants your continued attention:)

https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/the-2-trillion-secret-trial-against

Google wormed its way into so many corners of our lives that its enshittification keeps erupting in odd places, like ordering takeout food:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/24/passive-income/#swiss-cheese-security

Back in February, Housefresh – a rigorous review site for home air purifiers – published a viral, damning account of how Google had allowed itself to be overrun by spammers who purport to provide reviews of air purifiers, but who do little to no testing and often employ AI chatbots to write automated garbage:

https://housefresh.com/david-vs-digital-goliaths/

In the months since, Housefresh's Gisele Navarro has continued to fight for the survival of her high-quality air purifier review site, and has received many tips from insiders at the spam-farms and Google, all of which she recounts in a followup essay:

https://housefresh.com/how-google-decimated-housefresh/

One of the worst offenders in spam wars is Dotdash Meredith, a content-farm that "publishes" multiple websites that recycle parts of each others' content in order to climb to the top search slots for lucrative product review spots, which can be monetized via affiliate links.

A Dotdash Meredith insider told Navarro that the company uses a tactic called "keyword swarming" to push high-quality independent sites off the top of Google and replace them with its own garbage reviews. When Dotdash Meredith finds an independent site that occupies the top results for a lucrative Google result, they "swarm a smaller site’s foothold on one or two articles by essentially publishing 10 articles [on the topic] and beefing up [Dotdash Meredith sites’] authority."

Dotdash Meredith has keyword swarmed a large number of topics. from air purifiers to slow cookers to posture correctors for back-pain:

https://housefresh.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/keyword-swarming-dotdash.jpg

The company isn't shy about this. Its own shareholder communications boast about it. What's more, it has competition.

Take Forbes, an actual news-site, which has a whole shadow-empire of web-pages reviewing products for puppies, dogs, kittens and cats, all of which link to high affiliate-fee-generating pet insurance products. These reviews are not good, but they are treasured by Google's algorithm, which views them as a part of Forbes's legitimate news-publishing operation and lets them draft on Forbes's authority.

This side-hustle for Forbes comes at a cost for the rest of us, though. The reviewers who actually put in the hard work to figure out which pet products are worth your money (and which ones are bad, defective or dangerous) are crowded off the front page of Google and eventually disappear, leaving behind nothing but semi-automated SEO garbage from Forbes:

https://twitter.com/ichbinGisele/status/1642481590524583936

There's a name for this: "site reputation abuse." That's when a site perverts its current – or past – practice of publishing high-quality materials to trick Google into giving the site a high ranking. Think of how Deadspin's private equity grifter owners turned it into a site full of casino affiliate spam:

https://www.404media.co/who-owns-deadspin-now-lineup-publishing/

The same thing happened to the venerable Money magazine:

https://moneygroup.pr/

Money is one of the many sites whose air purifier reviews Google gives preference to, despite the fact that they do no testing. According to Google, Money is also a reliable source of information on reprogramming your garage-door opener, buying a paint-sprayer, etc:

https://money.com/best-paint-sprayer/

All of this is made ten million times worse by AI, which can spray out superficially plausible botshit in superhuman quantities, letting spammers produce thousands of variations on their shitty reviews, flooding the zone with bullshit in classic Steve Bannon style:

https://escapecollective.com/commerce-content-is-breaking-product-reviews/

As Gizmodo, Sports Illustrated and USA Today have learned the hard way, AI can't write factual news pieces. But it can pump out bullshit written for the express purpose of drafting on the good work human journalists have done and tricking Google – the search engine 90% of us rely on – into upranking bullshit at the expense of high-quality information.

A variety of AI service bureaux have popped up to provide AI botshit as a service to news brands. While Navarro doesn't say so, I'm willing to bet that for news bosses, outsourcing your botshit scams to a third party is considered an excellent way of avoiding your journalists' wrath. The biggest botshit-as-a-service company is ASR Group (which also uses the alias Advon Commerce).

Advon claims that its botshit is, in fact, written by humans. But Advon's employees' Linkedin profiles tell a different story, boasting of their mastery of AI tools in the industrial-scale production of botshit:

https://housefresh.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Advon-AI-LinkedIn.jpg

Now, none of this is particularly sophisticated. It doesn't take much discernment to spot when a site is engaged in "site reputation abuse." Presumably, the 12,000 googlers the company fired last year could have been employed to check the top review keyword results manually every couple of days and permaban any site caught cheating this way.

Instead, Google is has announced a change in policy: starting May 5, the company will downrank any site caught engaged in site reputation abuse. However, the company takes a very narrow view of site reputation abuse, limiting punishments to sites that employ third parties to generate or uprank their botshit. Companies that produce their botshit in-house are seemingly not covered by this policy.

As Navarro writes, some sites – like Forbes – have prepared for May 5 by blocking their botshit sections from Google's crawler. This can't be their permanent strategy, though – either they'll have to kill the section or bring it in-house to comply with Google's rules. Bringing things in house isn't that hard: US News and World Report is advertising for an SEO editor who will publish 70-80 posts per month, doubtless each one a masterpiece of high-quality, carefully researched material of great value to Google's users:

https://twitter.com/dannyashton/status/1777408051357585425

As Navarro points out, Google is palpably reluctant to target the largest, best-funded spammers. Its March 2024 update kicked many garbage AI sites out of the index – but only small bottom-feeders, not large, once-respected publications that have been colonized by private equity spam-farmers.

All of this comes at a price, and it's only incidentally paid by legitimate sites like Housefresh. The real price is borne by all of us, who are funneled by the 90%-market-share search engine into "review" sites that push low quality, high-price products. Housefresh's top budget air purifier costs $79. That's hundreds of dollars cheaper than the "budget" pick at other sites, who largely perform no original research.

Google search has a problem. AI botshit is dominating Google's search results, and it's not just in product reviews. Searches for infrastructure code samples are dominated by botshit code generated by Pulumi AI, whose chatbot hallucinates nonexistence AWS features:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/01/pulumi_ai_pollution_of_search/

This is hugely consequential: when these "hallucinations" slip through into production code, they create huge vulnerabilities for widespread malicious exploitation:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/28/ai_bots_hallucinate_software_packages/

We've put all our eggs in Google's basket, and Google's dropped the basket – but it doesn't matter because they can spend $20b/year bribing Apple to make sure no one ever tries a rival search engine on Ios or Safari:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-payments-apple-reached-20-220947331.html

Google's response – laying off core developers, outsourcing to low-waged territories with weak labor protections and spending billions on stock buybacks – presents a picture of a company that is too big to care:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/#kagi

Google promised us a quid-pro-quo: let them be the single, authoritative portal ("organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful"), and they will earn that spot by being the best search there is:

https://www.ft.com/content/b9eb3180-2a6e-41eb-91fe-2ab5942d4150

But – like the spammers at the top of its search result pages – Google didn't earn its spot at the center of our digital lives.

It cheated.

Very rough regional divisions in the United States. I've been doing a lot of Domestic Travel since the COVID-19 pandemic has largely abated....it's still out there, to be sure, but I'm fully vaccinated & boosted and wear a mask in large gatherings. I didn't used to care about Domestic Travel and always pined for European travel like I did in my 20s but the airfare was just so godawful expensive. Vienna, Austria remains a pipe dream. But Domestic Airfare, I found, was a lot more reasonable. When Biden first took office, it felt like Happy Days Were Here Again and I celebrated by attending Otakon 2021 in Washington DC, then later Anime NYC in November of 2021. Washington DC is one of my favorite vacation destinations and I've been multiple times now. But I'd NEVER been to New York City in my life and finally decided to just freaking GO already. People in the South complain that New Yorkers (NYC residents they mean, mostly) are "rude"; I did not find that to be the case. New Yorkers are stressed and busy and get annoyed if you waste their time, but they're generally alright people and can be quite funny. I fell in love with the 20-something girl who ran the pizza joint I stopped at for lunch a few blocks north of the Ferry Terminal on Staten Island. I loved her genuine New York accent & sass. She was a brunette with piercings, probably a college student. I had my first New York pizza at her establishment and it was incredible. I learned the secret to New York pizza is in the expertise put into making the crust. It was SO flavorful and made you take notice of it! No pizza I've had since has ever measured up. In 2022 I went to Seattle, Washington for the first time, for SakuraCon. I loved the PNW! Got to visit with some old friends from Houston who moved to Seattle and the con was great too. I enjoyed exploring Pike Place Market and riding the Monorail to the Seattle Space Needle park. A few months later in 2022 I went to Anime Boston...my first ever trip to Boston, MA ever. The convention was a blast but I also took in a lot of sight seeing in and around Boston. The highlight of my trip was visiting the USS Constitution, the oldest ship still in active service with the US Navy. It felt so amazing riding the water shuttle back across Massachusetts Bay...cooling breeze, beautiful sunny Spring Day...SO relaxing...Glad to finally see this great American city, having already visited New York (2021) and Chicago back in 2006. At the tail end of 2022, I ventured out to Portland, Oregon for Kumoricon for the first time. I loved it so much I came back in 2023, the very next year. And like in 2022, I had lunch at PDX before hopping on the Red Line MAX train downtown....at the same place with the same bartender. I told her there's no way she would remember me, but that she had been my bartender exactly one year ago for this same convention. She was amused by this and said "welcome back!". I loved Portland at this time of year in late fall....the leaves are so beautiful. The weather is cool but not cold. And Kumoricon is like the Platonic Ideal of an anime convention for me....not too small but not too big either.....just right in terms of size. In 2023 I got really adventurous and decided it had been far too long since I last visited Canada (for my honeymoon in 2003--in Montreal, Quebec). So I flew myself up to Calgary, Canada for Otafest. I had known Calgary as the site of the Winter Olympics in my youth. I really enjoyed Calgary very much and was delighted how diverse it actually is, much more than I was expecting. It's a beautiful city and I would love to go back someday. Or live there, if I could ever get used to Canadian winters, hehe.

Expensive materials used in master bathroom renovations can significantly increase costs; when selecting materials for this renovation, be mindful of both your budget and priorities when selecting materials for use in it.

Granite countertops tend to be significantly more costly than laminate ones, while steam showers with tile surrounds will likely cost significantly more than those equipped with acrylic or fiberglass enclosures.

For accurate pricing on quality fixtures and faucets, visit showrooms such as our in house design centre. Choosing durable materials will increase their lifespan while inferior options could necessitate premature replacement and incur more costs in replacement costs. Proper installation of plumbing lines also contributes to prolonging their durability.

Shipping and Transportation Fees

Transportation fees can add significantly to the total cost of bathroom renovation, particularly when materials need to be imported from far distances.

Consideration should be given to this expense more frequently in bathroom renovations as all fixtures and finishes must come from an outside supplier or manufacturer. While local Calgary stores may carry what you're searching for in stock, often mid to high end projects require special order features that must be obtained separately.

Shipping and transportation costs associated with bathroom remodeling Calgary materials depend upon factors like their size, distance, mode of transportation, weight of materials and additional services such as packaging or handling. To reduce these expenses consider sourcing locally, consolidating orders for lightweight materials and planning efficient delivery schedules - for instance a large claw foot bathtub will likely be more costly and difficult to ship than an acrylic/fibreglass tub and surround.

Consider any additional costs involved with importing bathroom renovation materials, including shipping fees, customs duties, import taxes and handling charges.

How Does Canada Post Flat Rate Box help Save Money?

Shipping costs can quickly become a significant expense, whether you’re a business owner, an online seller, or someone who frequently sends packages to family and friends. One cost-effective solution provided by Canada Post is the Flat Rate Box service. But how exactly does this service help you save money? Let's dive into the details and benefits to understand why the Canada Post Flat Rate Box might be the perfect option for your shipping needs.

Understanding the Flat Rate Box Concept

The concept behind the Canada Post Flat Rate Box is simple yet effective. It allows you to ship a box of a certain size to any location within Canada for a fixed price, regardless of the weight or destination. There are three sizes available: small, medium, and large, each with its own fixed cost. This pricing model eliminates the need to calculate shipping costs based on weight and distance, providing a straightforward and predictable shipping solution.

Fixed Pricing Benefits

One of the primary ways the Flat Rate Box saves money is through its fixed pricing structure. Traditional shipping costs can vary widely based on several factors, including weight, size, and destination. By contrast, the Flat Rate Box offers a single, predictable price, which can be particularly advantageous in several scenarios:

Heavy Items: Shipping heavy items can be expensive, but with the Flat Rate Box, you pay the same price regardless of weight. This can lead to substantial savings, especially for items that are dense and heavy.

Long-Distance Shipping: Shipping costs traditionally increase with distance. With the Flat Rate Box, shipping from coast to coast costs the same as shipping within the same city, making it an excellent choice for long-distance shipping.

Bulkier Items: For items that are bulky but not necessarily heavy, dimensional weight pricing can result in high shipping costs. The Flat Rate Box circumvents this by offering a fixed price, as long as the items fit within the box dimensions.

Simplifying the Shipping Process

Another way the Canada Post Flat Rate Box helps save money is by simplifying the shipping process. Here’s how:

No Need for Scales: You don’t need to weigh your package to determine the shipping cost, saving time and eliminating the need for a postal scale.

Ease of Budgeting: With predictable costs, it’s easier to budget for shipping expenses, which is particularly beneficial for small businesses and regular shippers.

Time Savings: The straightforward pricing model reduces the time spent calculating shipping costs and comparing rates.

Inclusive Features

The Flat Rate Box service includes several features that add value without additional costs:

Tracking: Each Flat Rate Box comes with tracking, allowing you and the recipient to monitor the package’s progress.

Delivery Confirmation: Confirmation of delivery provides peace of mind, ensuring the package has reached its destination.

Insurance: Some level of insurance is typically included, protecting against loss or damage during transit.

Comparing Costs: Flat Rate Box vs. Traditional Shipping

To illustrate the potential savings, let’s compare some typical scenarios:

Scenario 1: Heavy Books

Traditional Shipping: A 10 kg box of books shipped from Toronto to Vancouver might cost around $50 or more.

Flat Rate Box: A large Flat Rate Box costs a fixed price, which is significantly lower than traditional shipping costs for such heavy items.

Scenario 2: Household Items

Traditional Shipping: A box of assorted household items weighing 8 kg and shipped from Calgary to Halifax might cost between $40 and $60.

Flat Rate Box: The same items can be shipped in a medium Flat Rate Box for a fixed price, providing considerable savings.

Maximizing the Benefits

To get the most out of the Flat Rate Box service, consider these tips:

Pack Efficiently: Use the box space wisely to maximize the value. Ensure items are well-protected but packed tightly to avoid paying for unused space.

Choose the Right Size: Select the box size that best fits your items. Avoid using a larger box than necessary, as the cost increases with box size.

Plan Ahead: If you frequently ship items, keep a supply of Flat Rate Boxes on hand to streamline your shipping process.

Business Applications

For businesses, the Flat Rate Box can offer significant advantages:

Predictable Shipping Costs: Helps with budgeting and pricing strategies.

Streamlined Operations: Simplifies the shipping process, reducing time spent on logistics.

Customer Satisfaction: Reliable, tracked shipping can improve customer satisfaction and trust.

Conclusion

The Canada Post Flat Rate Box is a versatile and cost-effective shipping solution that can save you money, particularly when shipping heavy, bulky, or long-distance items. By offering fixed pricing, simplifying the shipping process, and including valuable features such as tracking and delivery confirmation, the Flat Rate Box helps you manage and reduce your shipping expenses. Whether you’re a small business owner, an online seller, or someone who frequently sends packages, understanding and utilizing the Flat Rate Box can lead to significant savings and a more efficient shipping experience.
