Welcome to another episode of Bloggy Friends. This episode was supposed to go live in June, but then life happened so I fell back on other episodes in the hopper, but now more than ever - since Google appears to be walking back some of their HCU issues that screwed small bloggers, I feel like this episode needs to be out there. This one is UNEDITED so forgive any audio issues or misspoken words. It was just such a raw episode, I wanted to share it unfiltered because in this episode we dive deep into the Google Helpful Content Update fallout with our special guest, Renee Groskreutz, a seasoned food blogger. It's a little spicy in my opinion. Together, we'll explore the intriguing rise of AI-generated recipe results on Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) and discuss how advancements in AI are reshaping the blogging landscape. Renee opens up about her own traffic struggles, the unforeseen impacts of Google's updates, and her innovative strategies to adapt. We'll hear firsthand how Renee's recipes have been pushed down the search rankings and why her blog traffic has taken a hit. We'll also tackle broader changes in SEO, the growing shadow of AI in content creation, and look ahead to the future of blogging—standing at the crossroads of technology and creativity. So, tune in as we journey through the challenges and adaptations faced by content creators in this rapidly evolving digital world. Get ready, it's going to be an enlightening conversation!
