Data gathered by Chartbeat and shared by Axios reveals that, over the past year, Google Search traffic to publishers across the broader web have fallen drastically, and proportionally more so for smaller websites. Referral traffic from Google apparently fell by 60% for “small publishers,” while “medium publishers” (those with between 10,000-100,000 daily pageviews) saw a drop of 47%. “Large publishers,” meanwhile, saw a 22% drop. That last category would be any site getting over 100,000 daily pageviews.
It’s not just Google Search either. While Search traffic dropped by 34%, traffic from Google Discover has also fallen by 15% over the past year, the report found.
The first thing I do when searching google is to scroll past that AI shit they put at the top and look for a valid link to a valid website.
https://udm14.com/ , you can also add “&udm=14” to your normal google link so you don’t have to rely un udm14.com, there should be a tutorial on the site
Thanks!
Do yourself a favor and don’t use Google at all
Here are alternatives

Unfortunately, most of the first page of results is often AI slop at this point…
If you set your default browser search engine to this, it gives a much cleaner Google search result, without AI crap.
https://google.com/search?udm=14&q=%25s
I tried other searches like DDG and the like, but Google still gives the best results… If you bypass all their junk.
The first you should use other browser like ecosia or qwant
I changed all of my default search engines to https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ and internet searches have been much better
