Major Movement on Bing

Is anyone seeing a big change with rankings and traffic on Bing in the last 24-48 hours?

For me, traffic appears to have completely collapsed. There are no penalties or guidelines issues in Webmaster Tools. A lot of previously high-performing pages (ranking in the top 3) look to have fallen out of the SERPs entirely. Pages can show up if you do a site search, but they're not ranking at all. I'm seeing a lot of random, low-quality SEO sites dominate the top results now.

I have always killed it with Bing, ranking at the top of their SERPs for years. I hope this is just a temporary blip and things will go back to normal later.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...

Google vs. ChatGPT: Hidden Cost of AI on the Environment and Society

Today, I read the Economic Survey of 2025 (released on 31 JAN 2025), which raises serious concerns about global warming and environmental sustainability. With the rapid advancement of AI, businesses are increasing profits by reducing their dependence on human employees. However, this is not only a threat to community well-being but also poses grave risks to our climate. ChatGPT consumes 10 times more power than Google Search for processing a single query. There was a time when Google contributed more to a healthier environment, but with the integration of AI into its search engine, the power consumption has surged beyond that of ChatGPT. The primary energy source for these operations is, of course, electricity. Let’s understand the implications. AI-powered systems require immense computational power to process and deliver results. Google claims to be reducing its carbon footprint, but the reality is that AI-driven searches demand far more power than traditional ranking-based search ...
