The described black magic rituals are not without danger and are consequently unsuitable for people who are not mentally in good constitution. Take heed to follow all instructions the way they are described. Without the necessary precautions every ritual will turn to your disadvantage, confusion and total destruction. On the contrary, by following the instructions with precision, you will achieve a complete success in all your enterprises. &#x2B;2347039981974&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many today are seeking to join a secret society, the one that will give them back their hope and help them to achieve all the things they have wanted in life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They realize that they have lost their dreams and their ambitions. They have settled for a life of mediocrity.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sadly, many are disappointed, for real secret societies are rare, hard to find and even more difficult to join. The more well known have, over time, lost their own secrets and present merely a facade of mystical mumbo-jumbo without possessing any real substance.&#x2B;2347039981974&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are no accidents and it is no coincidence that you have been led to The TEMPLE OF MURABITAK BROTHERHOOD. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/10602/2347039981974-how-to-join-illuminati-occult-society-for-money-ritual&quot;&gt;&#x2B;2347039981974 *HOW TO JOIN ILLUMINATI OCCULT SOCIETY FOR MONEY RITUAL&lt;/a&gt;</description>

</item><item>         <title>eXpletive Archive Shutting Down Due to Resources and Low Conversion</title>
         <description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/7399/expletive-archive-shutting-down-due-to-resources-and-low-conversion&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/images/expletive-archive-home-page.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;eXpletive Archive Home Page&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;eXpletive Archive is shutting down due to high resource usage and conversion rates too low to justify purchasing additional resources. eXpletive Archive detected use of expletives, ethnic slurs, homophobic remarks, and accusations on social media before archiving the results. Unfortunately, most content aggregated by eXpletive Archive saw little engagement largely due to it being left out of search engines and most people just not caring if they got caught using the words. Categories that saw more engagement have been migrated to a different site focused more on content known for better engagement instead of simply taking broad collections of data based on broad keywords. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;eXpletive Archive consumed large amounts of storage space due to images. We frequently found ourselves having to run plugins designed to compress images or remove unused images in bulk but even that couldn&#x27;t make up for the fact that expletives are used so often that most of the content we ended up with was low quality Tweets that just happened to use the f-word or one of George Carlin&#x27;s other 7 dirty words you can&#x27;t say on television. Our newer site looks more for statements of substance indicating allegations of wrongdoing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ethnic Slurs and Homophobic Remarks Often Not Used Hatefully&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest surprise of eXpletive Archive was how hard it was to find homophobic and racist remarks based on use of homophobic terms and ethnic slurs. Those words seemed to be used often by those they&#x27;ve typically been used against. Gay men often use the word &quot;fag&quot; in reference to themselves, the same is true with the ethnic slur &quot;beaner&quot; regarding Latinos, and the n-word with blacks. We got more complaints from gay men angry over being caught calling themselves &quot;fags&quot;, Latinos calling themselves &quot;beaners&quot;, and blacks calling themselves the n-word than we did straight people caught calling homosexuals &quot;fags&quot; or racist people calling Latinos and blacks their ethnic slurs. People caught using ethnic slurs historically directed at them often demanded removals on the grounds of their race or sexual orientation as if a computer incapable of knowing what race someone was were somehow racist for treating everyone who used the same words the same way regardless of their race. They didn&#x27;t seem to understand that the computer doesn&#x27;t understand context and that any policy which would give people preferences based on their race would be racist. It would mean that people of certain races could get anything removed simply by claiming membership of the historically marginalized group in question. On top of that we don&#x27;t hire staff to review complaints beyond pasting directions in response to emails normally. We were not in the position to hire anyone to review content for any type of context, so our policy options were limited to only things that wouldn&#x27;t increase the need to manually do things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Accusations Migrated&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Accusations seemed to convert the best, so those have been migrated for the most part to a new site which focuses more on accusations. People seem to engage most with accusations against businesses followed by accusations against people. Accusations against businesses typically involve scams or ripoffs while allegations against people typically involve being unfaithful to intimate partners or engaging in other taboo activity.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Associates Migrated&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;eXpletive Archive began monitoring people mentioning associates of theirs. That section was one of the first to be migrated last year. That section focused primarily on people talking about their exes or employers. Be careful what you say about your ex or your boss online.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conclusion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;eXpletive Archive was an interesting project which swept far too broadly to be feasible long term. We hope to further build upon what we began with eXpletive Archive build better archives with more interesting information. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/7399/expletive-archive-shutting-down-due-to-resources-and-low-conversion&quot;&gt;eXpletive Archive Shutting Down Due to Resources and Low Conversion&lt;/a&gt;</description>

</item><item>         <title>User Suspended for Posting 17 Year Old Girl on Post Almost Anything</title>
         <description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/7378/user-suspended-for-posting-17-year-old-girl-on-post-almost-anything&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/images/hamburg-police-officer-joachim-fritsches-request.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Hamburg Police Officer Joachim Fritsche&#x27;s Request&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today Post Almost Anything suspended the @mr_mansinthe account for admittedly posting the name and picture of a 17 year old girl. That user created three posts and described the victim of those posts as a 17 year old girl in each one. We took a look at the author&#x27;s work after receiving a complaint from a police officer in Hamburg, Germany named Joachim Fritsche.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have not suspended the other account that Officer Fritsche complained about due to it not having any data associated with it which matches the @mr_mansinthe account. The IP addresses and email addresses are different but there was a man they were both talking about in all their posts. That man appears to be the target of a smear campaign but we can&#x27;t conclusively say if that is the case or not. It seems like one of those pedophile smear campaigns, but we are not sure what record if any the target has because Germany has no public sex offender registry website. We also are not aware of any public background check services in Germany capable of helping us figure out if that person has ever been convicted of a sex crime.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have deleted two posts created by that other account for using the same body but we don&#x27;t consider just two re-posts disruptive enough to justify suspending an account. We will send a message asking the account holder not to post the same person again and to remove his or her work if it contains any false information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As is often the case with clear cut cases of user abuse which robs us of our valuable time, we are making publicly available all known data we have associated with that user. We do this to discourage other people from abusing our services. Usually all people have to worry about from a website is getting their account suspended if they break the rules. In our case your account gets suspended and your information gets published. That information in this case is as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;UserName: mr_mansinthe&#xD;&#xA;Email: mr_mansinthe@hotmail.com&#xD;&#xA;IP Address: 172.58.185.124&#xD;&#xA;Timestamps: 2021-11-06 19:13:41.723, 2021-11-20 18:48:40.447, 2021-11-20 19:23:39.227&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While we believe in doing what we can to discourage abuse of our services, we do not provide government agencies with testimony or affidavits because we are fundamentally against the prison industrial complex. While we don&#x27;t support the posting of inflammatory accusations against minors on our platforms, we also don&#x27;t believe in putting people in jail for such things. While we realize law enforcement agencies might find articles such as this useful we also know that without us officially authenticating the information contained within it is all hearsay. Plus, the IP address appears to be a VPN endpoint unlikely to be of help to the authorities. Perhaps they will have better luck working with Google whose YouTube website currently hosts similar material or 123site.com which is hosting a fake law enforcement website with what is clearly intended to be a sex offender notification.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We don&#x27;t treat all accounts which blast the same person the same way because if we did then someone could get every piece of criticism directed their way removed simply by signing up, posting something that clearly violates the TOU, and accusing it all of being the work of the same person. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/7378/user-suspended-for-posting-17-year-old-girl-on-post-almost-anything&quot;&gt;User Suspended for Posting 17 Year Old Girl on Post Almost Anything&lt;/a&gt;</description>

</item><item>         <title>What is Er, Yb: phosphate glass</title>
         <description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/7355/what-is-er-yb-phosphate-glass&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/images/erybglass-crylink.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Er,Yb:Glass - Crylink&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(1) What is an Er, Yb: phosphate glass?&#xD;&#xA;The glass doped with Er as well as ytterbium ions is Er glass; Glasses doped with erbium, ytterbium, and chromium ions are likewise erbium glasses; the double bound crystal of erbium glass and also white glass is also erbium glass. The glass substrate concerned is not typical glass yet phosphate glass. This paper primarily presents Er, Yb doped glass.&#xD;&#xA;Er3&#x2B;, Yb3&#x2B; co-doped phosphate glass (Er, Yb: phosphate glass) is a prominent and generally used active tool for lasers creating in the &quot;eye-safe&quot; creepy collection of 1,5-1,6 &#xB5;m.&#xD;&#xA;(2) What is phosphate glass?&#xD;&#xA;Phosphate glass is a glass product that mainly contains phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) as well as normally additionally includes various other chemical elements. It can be utilized as a laser gain tool wholesale and fiber. Its major benefit is its high compatibility with rare-earth ions (see rare-earth-doped gain media), such as Erbium (Er3&#x2B;), ytterbium (Yb3&#x2B;), and also neodymium (Nd3&#x2B;) ions. Simply put, the phosphate glass varieties can be doped with a high concentration of laser-active rare earth ions without triggering damaging effects such as clustering, which will generate a quenching result and affect the performance of the laser. The doping focus in phosphate erbium-doped fiber is a lot higher than that in quartz fiber, as well as it can raise by several portion factors. The high doping focus of phosphate allows short fiber lasers and amplifiers, which are not the only advantages of the glass yet likewise consist of:&#xD;&#xA;    The short fiber laser resonator can get a huge totally free spectrum variety, making it simpler to accomplish single-frequency procedure.&#xD;&#xA;    Dispersed comments lasers are short, whereas very drugged phosphate fibers enable a lot more effective pump absorption.&#xD;&#xA;    Ultrashort pulsed fiber lasers are much less susceptible to nonlinear results if they make use of much shorter fibers.&#xD;&#xA;(3) What&#x27;s the system of erbium glass?&#xD;&#xA;Phosphate glass integrates a long life time (~ 8 ms) of 4I13/2 Er3&#x2B; top laser degree with a low (2-3 ms) life time of 4I11/2 Er3&#x2B; level that continues to remain in resonance with Yb3&#x2B; 2F5/2 fired up state. Quick non-radiative multi-phonon leisure from 4I11/2 to 4I13/2 level considerably decreases the back-energy transfer and up-conversion losses due to the interaction between Yb3&#x2B; and Er3&#x2B; ions, thrilled at the 2F5/2 along with the 4I11/2 degrees, respectively.&#xD;&#xA;Essentially continuously, erbium-ytterbium-doped phosphate glass is pumped with wavelengths around the 975-nm absorption elevation of Yb3&#x2B; ions. That brings about the excitation of the ytterbium ions. Later, Yb ions might move the excitation power to neighboring erbium ions. After an effective power transfer, one first has an Er3&#x2B; ion in the 4I11/2 state (far more especially, a Stark level manifold), which has comparable excitation energy as the Yb3&#x2B; ions. From that state, the ions usually go through a quick non-radiative shift to the state 4I13/2, frequently made use of as the leading laser degree. Such non-radiative adjustments happen based upon multi-phonon discharge, gave that the phonon power of the product is high as well as sufficient (which holds for silica fibers, for instance).&#xD;&#xA;(4) Application of Er, Yb: glass in Erbium glass laser&#xD;&#xA;    Er, glass is also an extraordinary item for upconversion luminescence. Laser obtained the green and also red laser from erbium-doped glass fiber, as well as people likewise observed violet upconversion light. The upconversion luminescence of Er: phosphate glass delighted by Nd: YAG was discovered. The upconversion laser will absolutely be really useful in great deals of applications.&#xD;&#xA;    Er, glass is a pure three-level laser tool. Due to this, it needs to pump almost all the energetic glass aspects. The non-pumped locations provide laser light absorption losses. When it comes to the conventional pole arrangement, the non-pumped pole requires to be as brief as possible.&#xD;&#xA;    The optical excitation of the Yb, Er glasses (particularly chromium-free ones) happens primarily utilizing Yb ions. The only Yb absorption band hinges on the near-infrared spooky range (900-- 1000 nm). Water discontinuation in this spooky range is 1 cm-1. For this reason, Er glass can considerably lower the water-cooled laser efficiency as a result of pump light absorption in the water layer surrounding the flashlamp and also the laser rod. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/7355/what-is-er-yb-phosphate-glass&quot;&gt;What is Er, Yb: phosphate glass&lt;/a&gt;</description>

Its Back! Coming Soon...&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today we are proud to announce the Oh My God! Its Back! project where we will be reviving long dead but certainly not forgotten websites. We will focus primarily on sites renowned for their unique and in some cases revolutionary embrace of free speech. The sites are being revived using the Internet Archive at Archive.org. These will only be partial revivals of course since Archive.org doesn&#x27;t have compete copies of the sites we are targeting, but they have enough to make their users feel nostalgic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first two sites on our list are Blipdar and Cheaterville. Blipdar also known as College ACB (Anonymous Confession Board) was an academic gossip website founded under the name JHU Confessions in 2008 that operated until 2011. Cheaterville was the original website for scorned lovers to report their ex for cheating on them. It launched in 2011 and operated until 2015 when the site was redirected to an anti-bullying site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The download of Blipdar is almost finished, so it will be revived first. We are expected to finish the restore in a week or two, but we&#x27;ve never done this before so we don&#x27;t know what to expect. As long as importing HTML files into our Wordpress database goes as it should it shouldn&#x27;t take too long.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We are reviving these sites to let the users of today comment on the users of yesteryear. We will also use the OMGBack.com site to market new free speech friendly platforms to users that miss being able to post almost anything online. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/6070/announcing-the-oh-my-god-its-back-website-revival-project&quot;&gt;Announcing the Oh My God!

We hope that this will increase engagement by allowing people to communicate with one another, know when someone has commented on or rated their work, and make it easier for readers to gauge user sentiment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Logged in members can now send messages directly to other members by visiting any profile and clicking the link that says &quot;Message&quot; followed by the recipient&#x27;s user name. You will then be taken to a page featuring inputs for subject line and message body. Click send and the recipient will receive a notification that you sent them a message with a link to where they can view the message. If they respond to the message then you will receive a notification of the reply. If you no longer wish to receive these notifications you can disable them in your account settings under &quot;Notifications.&quot; You can also check to see if you have any new messages simply by clicking on your user name in the site navigation and you will see a red number next to the word &quot;Messages&quot; indicating how many new messages you have. For the sake of efficiency each message and all replies directed to you are marked as read whenever you load any message you received.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Logged in users can now include a rating between one and five stars when posting comments. Each rating requires a comment because we want people to explain the reasoning behind their rating. Users can only rate a post once, so if you want to change your rating you will need to deactivate the previous comment used to rate the post. You can do that by logging in, viewing your profile, and selecting the option to edit your comment. We hope that adding this will make Post Almost Anything a preferred alternative to Craigslist for classified ads because people can now see what other users think of each listing. We also think it makes the Rants and Raves section a great place for rating people, businesses, and government agencies. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whenever someone comments on your posts you will receive an email informing you that someone commented on your post if you checked the little box that says, &quot;Email me when someone comments on, rates, or likes my post&quot; when your post was created. You can toggle notifications on and off on a post by post basis simply by viewing your post while logged in clicking the link towards the top that says &quot;CLICK HERE to Edit.&quot; You can also check to see if you have any new notifications simply by clicking on your user name in the site navigation and you will see a red number next to the word &quot;Notifications&quot; indicating how many new messages you have. For efficiencies sake each notification is considered old whenever the notifications page is checked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What&#x27;s Next?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next we will focus on adding the ability to like any post or comment. Unlike ratings, likes will not require you to include a comment. That way people can easily say they like something without doing any work beyond clicking the Like button. After that we will focus on recoding parts of the site to make our database queries faster and then we will enable profile editing followed by the ability to post status updates. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/4037/5-star-rating-system-messaging-and-notifications-added-to-paa&quot;&gt;5 Star Rating System, Messaging, and Notifications Added to PAA&lt;/a&gt;</description>

I wouldn&#x27;t describe myself as obedient, but I wouldn&#x27;t say I am a financial anarchist either. I decided to be pragmatic and watch how things play out. Needless to say, my friend made exponential returns, however, I well and truly missed the boat and yacht!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I know there are so many considerations when investing, especially in assets that are known to be highly speculative (What to buy, when to get in, and when to take profits) So even if I got involved in 2012, I can&#x27;t say I would have ridden the turbulent waves until May 2021.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A major bug bearer that prevented me from taking action until 2017 was finding a safe platform to buy and hold digital currency. (I initially used Coinbase, however back then AML was arduous and the selection on offer was limited)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In April 2018, I began my Binance journey and can honestly say the platform has gone from strength to strength! I use both the web version and the mobile app and can say the UX is clean and straightforward. I spent an hour or so watching tutorials on YouTube and have been able to diversify my Crypto portfolio across a multifarious range of stable, utility, and hype coins/tokens and projects.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems a lot of the negative reviews on here are fake and you should try the platform for yourself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if you are in the UK and bank with a traditional retail bank, Binance has come under some opposition and you may find it difficult to add funds to your account. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/4032/binance-customer-service&quot;&gt;Binance Customer Service&lt;/a&gt;</description>

Our hosting provider says that our server suffered a critical hardware failure and the motherboard needs to be replaced. Post Almost Anything only uses that server for email, but we also require email verification at sign up so no new members can not join at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. This has never happened to us before. We are surprised that the hosting company has to have a new motherboard delivered to fix the problem. The board should be delivered tomorrow.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Websites hosted on that server include FoulSpeakers.com, ExpletiveArchive.com, and others. They are down entirely and will remain that way until at least tomorrow. Email services are also offline for CyberBullyingReport.com which requires email confirmation at sign up. Like Post Almost Anything, Cyber Bullying Report is not capable of sending confirmation emails at this time. CopBlaster.com and STDCarriers.com do not require email confirmation at sign up, but are currently unable to send communications between users or password recovery emails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We apologize for these inconveniences and stress that none of this is our fault. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/3001/post-almost-anything-email-server-offline-due-to-hardware-failure&quot;&gt;Post Almost Anything Email Server Offline Due to Hardware Failure&lt;/a&gt;</description>

</item><item>         <title>Bug Fix: ASP.Net Core with Entity Framework Data Annotation Validators</title>
         <description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/2950/bug-fix-asp-net-core-with-entity-framework-data-annotation-validators&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/images/data-annotation-validators-before-and-after.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Data Annotation Validators: Before and After&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today we fixed a problem that was causing users to create broken posts in the Rants and Raves category on this site. The problem was that we failed to add a line of code needed for validation to function properly. Without that line of code users were able to submit the form without selecting a required value. The bug was easy to identify and fix in a matter of minutes once we tested the form ourselves and noticed that we were not being given an error when we failed to select a value for Sentiment. We simply looked at the annotation we already had for the corresponding field in our Entity Framework model and compared it to other fields in other models that were also bound to select lists for other categories. When we did that we noticed that the Sentiment field in the Rants and Raves model was missing a required line of code. This led to two problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first problem was that we had failed to add a range annotation that required the integer value submitted to be greater than 1. This is the value that ASP.Net Core uses to generate the code needed for the jQuery Unobtrusive Validation Plugin to know that the value submitted for that field must be greater than 1. Without that no error will be given to the user if the value they submit is 0. That was the case when users submitted the form without selecting a value for Sentiment because in addition to values from the Sentiment table the select list used to allow the user to select a value has a default option that does not correspond to anything in the database. It has a value of 0 and displays text which says &quot;Select Sentiment.&quot; Since the default selected option technically had a numeric value of 0 it would pass the required field validation check because that simply checks to see if the value is null.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second problem was that our database does not permit records to be created if they violate SQL Server referential integrity rules. Those rules are fairly simple in that they require a match between the value in the Rants and Raves table if it has a relationship with a value in a different table. This is called a primary and foreign key relationship. The primary key is typically the row id number in one table and the foreign key is typically a value in a second table related to that row id. In this case the primary key in the Sentiment table can be an integer of 1 or 2 because there are two rows in that table (1 for negative and 2 for positive). If someone tries to insert an integer in the Rants and Raves table column that has a relationship with the Sentiment table it must be 1 or 2 because a different number will not match any row id number in the Sentiment table. That is the case when the record submitted to the database has an integer value of 0 for Sentiment. SQL Server will not allow a record to be created in the Rants and Raves table that has a value of 0 for sentiment because it violates the referential integrity constraint. When that happens a records is created in the Posts table but not the Rants and Raves table. Since every entry in the Posts table must also have a corresponding entry in one of the category tables in order to render a valid result on a page the end results were pages displaying nothing but error messages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Solution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Adding a range validation annotation is the best way to solve this problem. It prevents the form from submitting without a value of 1 or greater in the Sentiment field of the Rants and Raves table. Some might wonder why we would permit a record to be added to the Posts table but not the Rants and Raves table. The reason is that there is value in the Rants and Raves table that requires the Post ID number from the new row in the Posts table. A row must first be created in the Posts table before it can be added to the Rants and Raves table. That is necessary so that the database knows which record from the Rants and Raves table to retrieve for each specific entry in the Posts table. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/2950/bug-fix-asp-net-core-with-entity-framework-data-annotation-validators&quot;&gt;Bug Fix: ASP.Net Core with Entity Framework Data Annotation Validators&lt;/a&gt;</description>

</item><item>         <title>Google Core Update December 2020 Makes Search Less Relevant</title>
         <description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/2935/google-core-update-december-2020-makes-search-less-relevant&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/images/google-core-update-announcement.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Google Core Update Announcement&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Google Core Update released on December 3, 2020 has unfortunately made search engine results pages (SERPs) less relevant and of poorer quality for some queries. We found this out today after looking at the Google performance of two sites in our network between December 4th and December 6th. For those dates we noticed a significant decline for several queries including the following two on two different sites:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. &quot;Snitch List&quot; (without quotes) on CopBlaster.com (https://copblaster.com/snitches/)&#xD;&#xA;2. &quot;Celebrities with Herpes&quot; (without quotes) on STDCarriers.com (https://stdcarriers.com/famouspeople/celebrities-genitalherpes-1.aspx)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These queries and landing pages have several things in common. Those commonalities include that such searches are usually conducted by users seeking lists of people for which the relevant characteristics apply, the lists on the sites are either the largest lists of people with the relevant characteristics available on the internet or close to them, the landing pages on the sites are category listings of posts on the source sites, and they are both hosted on a server due to be upgraded for performance reasons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Our mission is to organise the world&#x2019;s information and make it universally accessible and useful.&quot; - Goolge Inc. (https://about.google/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Google&#x27;s goal is to provide its users with information that is most relevant to their search. To do this Google uses advanced algorithms in an effort to figure out what the user is looking for and to give them the results most useful to them. Unfortunately, a lot of people figured out long ago that they could trick Google into thinking their pages were relevant to what users were looking for. This has led to a constant struggle between Google and webmasters in which Google tries their best to eliminate poor quality pages from their results. Usually Google succeeds at this goal and serves users with the content most relevant to their search, but sometime Google screws up and pushes more relevant content below less relevant content due to other indicators they use to judge content quality besides just what keywords are in what places, how much content exists, and how many websites link to that content. As a result you can have all the right keywords in all the right places with rich content that lots of people link to without doing well on Google. It used to be that you could outrank more reputable sites by putting the right keywords in the right places if you competition was not, but semantic search has changed that. Today people are more likely to get results full of like terms from sources Google prefers in general even if that means serving less relevant results to users. Other issues such as page speed, editorial quality, and the quality of irrelevant content on the same site play a role. If your site is too slow it will show up below inferior content just because Google does not want to make users wait too long for it to load. If your content has all the keywords in all the right places with a lot of text, but Google&#x27;s algorithms determine that the editorial quality of that text is poor (ex: misspelled words, duplicate content, generic content, content farmed just to create content that looks good to bots) then they give users less relevant content of higher quality. If your site has a lot of content that Google considers low quality they might not even bother to see how good a specific piece of content is just because other content on your site is considered poor. The end results are search results lacking in relevance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Snitch List&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Cop Blaster Snitch List is the largest list of police informants available for free on the internet. It features far over 10,000 profiles of people that have given information to law enforcement. Most of those are from government records made public under FOIA (https://copblaster.com/coronavirus/). What could stop the largest snitch list on the internet from being number one on Google for &quot;Snitch List&quot; (without quotes)? We are trying to figure that out because that list is now on page 9. We know that all the right keywords are in the right places and that there is plenty of content, so we are thinking that the problem is probably due to server performance or a bug falsely flagging the content as poor. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We noticed a spike in poor performance from Google&#x27;s Core Web Vitals over the days leading up to and immediately following the update. Our LCP scores were in the red and we think that is the biggest factor here. LCP stands for Largest Contentful Paint (https://web.dev/lcp/) and refers to the point in the loading process when the main content has most likely loaded. We do various things to speed this up like lazy loading of images and videos, but that seems have actually lowered the overall score even thought it improved the overall user experience. Google did not always process javascript the way it does now. It used to be that if something was not loaded in the source code that Google did not count it. That is not the case anymore, so you can get a quick speed score by deferring image and video loads until after the main content is loaded. Google now waits for the images and videos to be lazy loaded before scoring the page for speed. Strangely enough our LCP scores were higher when users had to wait for images and videos to load as part of the main page load even though deferring them makes browsing the site much easier for people. Recently, we added over 8,000 new pages from a collection of data that for the most part had not been published anywhere that Google indexed and the data that was duplicative we were able to make unique through string manipulation. Unfortunately, those additional records led to an increase in load times and sometimes the server was running out of CPU and RAM. That is why the server is being upgraded. We think that if we upload the server and get it running faster than it was before the new content was added that we should be able to recover.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After addressing the speed issue then the only problem is content quality. There are thousands of pages that were generated from user submissions to government websites and the quality of their work is not very good. We do have a lot of good content created by CopBlaster.com itself and that does fairly well for names of individuals being discussed, but the data dump from the COVID-19 snitches is not of high quality. It is however unique and relevant, so we don&#x27;t see why that should hurt the performance of the site for a query like &quot;Snitch List.&quot; Unfortunately, users hate writing, so there are several poorly written user generated snitch reports. Deciding whether or not to allow users to post has its ups and downs. The upside is that your site gets more content and people link to you more, but the downside is content quality. The benefits usually outweigh the drawbacks, so we won&#x27;t start censoring users anytime soon. Again, we are hoping that even though there is content of questionable accuracy created by users that most of the content is still reliable, so it shouldn&#x27;t lose relevance in the eyes of Google.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site has some other problems in that we recently put no index meta tags on all but a few selected tag archives. We had ended up with thousands of thin tag archives a few months ago, so we decided to no index tag archives unless the tag has been white listed by the administration. Tag archives are great for organizing content beyond categories and locations. For instance we have a good archive for Assistant United States Attorney Greg Nyhus (https://copblaster.com/hashtag/greg-nyhus/) that Google ranks above all individual articles in the archive, so we want to keep that result. On the other hand we want to avoid results such as the hashtag for the name Greg (https://copblaster.com/hashtag/greg/) because thousands of broad tag matches like that or thin matches for more unique items produces spammy looking poor content. The ranking of the Greg Nyhus tag seems to be an anomaly because Google seems to far favor long articles about people and topics to archives even when those archives link to many more pages with images of the topics. You can see this in the &quot;Snitch List&quot; (without quotes) results (https://lmgtfy.app/?q=snitch&#x2B;list) where news articles about snitch lists are outranking actual snitch lists. This is because such articles are from places Google considers high quality so even though they don&#x27;t even have such lists their articles are ranking better. We are hoping that by getting rid of tags not related to a specific unique and useful archives that we will do better. Another thing we might get rid of is all the individual profiles for the police decertification database (https://copblaster.com/decertified/). We think that having thousands of pages where the profiles are autogenerated from thin Excel sheets might be hurting performance more than helping it even though for many of those profiles we do quite well for searches for those individuals or combinations of their names with their previous places of employment. Unfortunately, not many people look for those individuals, so if redirecting those profiles to just pages with all the names on them makes the rest of the site do better we might do that. We also noticed that there is an issue with listings in that section for departments competing with searches for police in specific areas with other parts of the site that lists posts from the main section geographically.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Celebrities with Herpes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;STD Carriers has always done well for searches about Celebrities with STDs including Herpes. The Celebrities with STDs section of the site (https://stdcarriers.com/famouspeople/celebrities.aspx) has been the largest list of celebrities with STDs for over a decade. The site is typically in the top 5 for &quot;Celebrities with STDs&quot; and is still on the first page despite the update, so why would it suddenly find itself on the second page for &quot;Celebrities with Herpes&quot;? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We think it might have something to do with the same performance problems impacting Cop Blaster, but less so because we have not seen the same flags for poor LCP from Google for STD Carriers as we have for Cop Blaster. Both sites run as separate applications on the server so if Cop Blaster freezes the other sites still run. STD Carriers has thousands of results but not nearly as much data as Cop Blaster does, so we think that although a performance boost will help that it is not the main issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unlike the Snitch List on Cop Blaster, none of the content in this archive is user generated, so it does not have any reliability issues, but the site itself is mostly user generated reports about other people (https://stdcarriers.com/registry/search.aspx). For that reason we think that the other parts of the site might be suffering due to poor user generated content in that section. Again, the benefit of the user generated content far outweighs doing poorly on queries about celebrities, so getting rid of that is not an option. Our best hope is that Google can distinguish between good and poor content on the same site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;STD Carriers was hit really hard last April/May by the updates punishing sites about health care that do not appear to have any medical expertise, but it appears to have recovered on queries looking of other types of content on the site that does not require medical expertise. Celebrity gossip is not something you need medical expertise to do media research about. We also recovered our number one spot for our brand &quot;STD Carriers&quot; which we had been pushed to page 4 on. We also lost our number one result for &quot;STD Registry&quot; but are still on the first page. Since no doctors are legally allowed to create such a registry and the government has no such public registry we think that is why we are able to still do well for that one. That and the fact that most other first page results including the top result link to it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conclusion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have reached the conclusion that performance is most likely the reason for these problems, but that there are other issues impacting the sites as well. Whenever Google elects to rank a Facebook post containing an article linking to your site over that same article on your site they are probably saying that at least the Facebook page won&#x27;t take so long to load. That explains how sites whose backlinks have improved could do worse in SERPs. We think there is a problem with how Google treats category archives. Such pages are typically heavy on images and links but think on text content. We think we may need to include more text on those page if we are going to overcome these problems, but even that would lead to more duplicate content issues with the articles themselves and we don&#x27;t have time make changes like that. We will post updates as we can. &lt;br&gt; Learn more: &lt;a href=&quot;https://postalmostanything.com/2935/google-core-update-december-2020-makes-search-less-relevant&quot;&gt;Google Core Update December 2020 Makes Search Less Relevant&lt;/a&gt;</description>
