Google Continues To Be A Joke

Since I’ve had a crazy hectic day taking care of stuff that was not on my to-do list (ah, agency life), I thought I’d scrap the idea I had for a longer email and just give you a quick update on that fake ecomm site of mine with all the lorem ipsum text.

I can’t really remember when I last gave you can update, maybe a month ago? Or when I even first told you about it.

But I’ve been watching it with interested because I actually thought Google had come to their senses….but then they proved themselves to be as incompetent as usual.

Here’s a look at the last 30 days -

You can see that it was trending downwards but then they boosted it back the fuck to near where it was trending the last time I updated you.

I’ve run some articles in Cuppa for it but didn’t get around to publishing them as I was waiting it out to see what Google was doing.

And I keep expecting them to announce a Core Update any day now cause they’ve obviously been testing one. But if they don’t announce it by Monday I may just start publishing those AI articles.

I’d love to hammer this one with content and see if it takes off or takes a nosedive.

If it takes off, I could even makes it a real ecomm site with POD or digital products.

Oh, and I still have all that lorem ipsum stuff on the homepage.

Next Time…

Upcoming topics: more tips and ideas on Etsy and KDP, how it’s going with my chatGPT fiction ebook and the AI music thingie, and growing an ecomm site.

Stay awesome,
