Some automated scrapers appear to be bypassing Google's num=100 block, causing impressions to rise and average position to drop for some sites.
Google Search seems to be testing dropping the ability to see 100 search results on a single page. When you add the results parameter to the end of your search results URL string, i.e. &num=100, it works about half the time. This was spotted by SEOwner on X and I can replicate it, as can many others. The thing is, sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not. Which leads me to believe it is a test.
