Strangely, these clicks that could fool GSC bot filters did not appear in the GA4 report.

Google officially announced the rollout of the November 2026 core update just now, on Tuesday at around 1:07 pm ET. This core update is expected to take about 2 weeks to roll out. Google said, "This is a regular update designed to better surface…

wow, that is ... wow.
AI Overviews rolling out in France on July 22, 2026 yielded the clearest evidence yet of their impact to clicks and click-through rate. So I analyzed a number of sites in GSC to view the true impact. We know AIOs can impact traffic, but some of the findings might surprise you...
I provide five cases in my post (three sites that dropped and two that remained stable). You can check my post for the details. And I provide bullets at the end for site owners that want to dig into their own data. I recommend doing that today, and I'm eager to hear what you find.

It's only Monday and it's already so explosive. By Friday, isn't it going to be announced that Zuckerberg is actually an alien who escaped from Area 51?

New: We Opted Out of Google AI Search - Here's Exactly What Happened
You may have seen the experiment data that Google AI search links gave us a 0.9% CTR, but here's the full story
• Yes, AI citations had a ~1% CTR
• But impacted over 20% of our traffic
• Citations *also* increased regular organic clicks
Turns out Google AI citations are far more important than we thought (1/2)

This may be related to the previous surge in impression, so perhaps we should investigate whether the clicked query appears in some SEO tool. At that time, after investigating using this method, I identified SEMrush as a suspect for the surge fake impression.
I'm a tiny bit nervous sharing this, as it's my first time publishing a live investigation powered by "Marie's Brain" (the agentic system I've been building).
When @rustybrick and @JoyanneHawkins shared the sudden click spikes in GSC today, I asked my Brain to scan the properties I monitor. In seconds, it found the same vertical spike on 3 sites and spotted the culprit: 45% to 100% CTR on Page 2-6 results (and one page hit with 23 query fan-out variations!).
Here is what the data shows, what might be causing it, and how to filter your GSC reports:

It is time for the big Google Webmaster report, the November 2026 edition, where I recap all the big changes Google made organically in Google Search. Of course, the big one is that Google completed its September 2026 spam update in October, and we also…

Even the greatest beneficiary of Google's evil ways is closing the door to the open internet. All Googlers should be really proud of how they destroyed the open web!

When I first started out, writing articles for software products targeting the Japanese market, some people complained that my language didn't sound like native Japanese speakers. I wonder if newcomers today still have this experience in this age of ubiquitous AI assistants?

Scaled SEO strategy of coconote.app (a property of Quizlet) was crushed by Google.
I noticed this one late last year but didn't post about it cuz I wanted to see if without being discussed publicly Google will hit this too much scaling too quickly.
And yes Google did.
While I'm of the opinion that if any weird strategy or domain becomes a conversation in SEO land (specifically here on X) the chances of it coming under radar of Google's web spam team therefore getting some sort of "manual" hit increases.
But seems like in the background Google's algos are also catching "too much scaling too quickly" and hitting those domains.
