even AI mode gets it

The issue isn't that Google is using an excavator but that Google is using an excavator to build their store building (AI mode) on our property (content) and claim everything as their own.

Don't shoot the messenger, but the manufacturers of gas-powered cars opposed electric vehicles. Similarly, the manufacturers of vinyl records opposed CDs. Now, SEOs oppose AIOs and AI mode. Those who invest in their technology will always oppose new developments — that's how it's always been.

I really enjoyed listing to the newest episode of "search of the record". So I would like you to continue this conversation @divingfor.fun & @methode.bsky.social Two comments:

Google AI Overviews will give you an answer even if what you’re searching for is the meaning of a made up idiom. They are killing thousands of websites for this crap.

how to exit vim 😏

I have to say I am really impressed by Claude 3.7 Sonnet. "Create a website in the style of the 'Still Alive' from at the end of Portal during the credits." didn't even take a minute to create a nice page which even could play music. Sure this isn't advanced programming but still very impressive.

Don't mention Trump or Musk as disinformation spreaders -was apparently a Grok system prompt that was exposed in its "thought process" output. A few people on Reddit claim to be able to reproduce this:

Does anybody have anxieties about asteroids hitting the earth? If so this site is not for you, don't look. This one took about 2 hours to build using NASA's NEO API and some measurements to help the mericans. rockdodger.com

Did Google lift a site reputation penality (in Germany) over the weekend?

Did you know I built a free local ranking checker tool? I think it's the best one of these out there, but I guess I'm biased freelocalrankingchecker.com

Free Google Local Rankings Checker & UULE Generator

Check Google search results from any location with this free UULE generator tool.

Some observations I didn't read about anywhere: - there is at least one publisher still present in the coupon space (because of not using a subdomain but a subdirectory?) searchengineland.com/google-sendi...

Google sending manual actions for site reputation abuse in Germany

This comes a week after Google expanded enforcement of this policy in Italy, Spain and France.

right-arm Elon running election interference – anyone surprised by this?

Matt Tutt@matttutt.me · 2y ago

Anybody read this substack from a twitter/x "whistleblower" about how they manipulated the algorithm to help Trump win the US election? Anyone able to decipher from the code if there were other breadcrumbs left? All feels a bit too convenient... 🤔 From: theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

Did you know that you can temporarily logout in Google Search using a GET-parameter? A lot of people know that adding &pws=0 to the url disables some personalization features but far fewer people know that adding &igu=1 makes search ignoring the current user login. That way you can…

I am pleasantly surprised on how well NodeJS does in this benchmark hez2010.github.io/async-runtim... As someone who does a lot of frontend and backend JS development.

I love stuff like this: danielmangum.com/posts/this-w... @danielmangum.com (mis)used the AT protocol which Bluesky uses under the hood to host his proof-of-concept "website" porcini.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atp... And Google has already indexed it.
