Ask HN: Why has Goodreads fallen so far in Google Search results lately?
When searching for a book, I remember it being 1st or 2nd with Amazon having the other spot. It's fallen way down lately. Any idea why?

I have no insight on Google's practices or reasoning. But Goodreads is now widely considered a failed service:

It's generally difficult to say exactly why but Google did a core update on Aug 22, and also a helpful content update which added a new ranking signal
