Senior executives at Meta repeatedly warned that encrypting Facebook Messenger would make it harder to detect child exploitation, according to newly unsealed court filings tied to a lawsuit brought by New Mexico’s attorney general. Internal emails, chats, and briefing documents show company safety and policy leaders raising alarms as early as 2019, when CEO Mark …
SerpApi filed a motion to dismiss Google’s federal lawsuit, two months after Google sued the company under the DMCA for allegedly bypassing its SearchGuard anti-scraping system. The filing goes beyond disputing the technical allegations. SerpApi is challenging whether Google has the legal right to bring the case at all. The Standing Question SerpApi’s core argument …
TVs are always better than smartphones for media consumption. When I want to watch something from my phone, like videos or photo albums, I simply cast it to my TV using the Smart View feature on my Samsung phone (other phones have similar features too), and all you need is both devices connected to the …
Information retrieval systems are designed to satisfy a user. To make a user happy with the quality of their recall. It’s important we understand that. Every system and its inputs and outputs are designed to provide the best user experience. From the training data to similarity scoring and the machine’s ability to “understand” our tired, sad …
My Outlook email inbox has been a big mess with over 30,000 emails in multiple folders. Sure, you can adopt some habits that can help you achieve inbox zero, but they still don’t fix the existing mess that’s in my inbox and the future messages that I’ll receive. While looking for ways to automate the …
Microsoft’s Defender Security Research Team published research describing what it calls “AI Recommendation Poisoning.” The technique involves businesses hiding prompt-injection instructions within website buttons labeled “Summarize with AI.” When you click one of these buttons, it opens an AI assistant with a pre-filled prompt delivered through a URL query parameter. The visible part tells the …
You spot a quote on Instagram you want to save, a product name buried in a YouTube comment, or an address tucked inside an X post, and the moment you long-press to copy, nothing happens. The app just won’t let you. So, my workaround was embarrassingly low-tech: take a screenshot, squint at it later, and …
Some advertisers are now seeing Performance Max placement data populate in Google Ads reporting, including Search Partner domains and impression counts that had previously been absent from the report. PPC marketer Thomas Eccel flagged the change on LinkedIn, noting the report had been empty for his PMax campaigns until now. “I finally see where and …
I didn’t switch to AwesomeWM because I wanted to optimize my workflow. I switched because I was annoyed. Not dramatic-annoyed, or “throw the laptop out the window” annoyed. Just that low, steady irritation that builds when you realize you’ve resized the same two windows three times in 10 minutes. When the browser is slightly too …
The middle is where your content dies, and not because your writing suddenly gets bad halfway down the page, and not because your reader gets bored. But because large language models have a repeatable weakness with long contexts, and modern AI systems increasingly squeeze long content before the model even reads it. That combo creates …
There’s no shortage of online cloud storage providers in 2026, but the majority of users are only familiar with a handful. These big players are great for convenience, but if you’re looking for a privacy-first storage solution, you’re going to have to look elsewhere. Sure, you can self-host your own cloud storage using tools like …
The UK builds digital PR around press releases, while the US relies more on newswires and avoids full releases in outreach emails. US PR pros personalize more often and more deeply than their UK counterparts. AI adoption in pitching is much higher in the US than in the UK. UK campaigns secure coverage faster, while …
I recently wrote about an unconfirmed Google algorithm update that rolled out in mid-January 2026, which negatively impacted the organic search visibility of dozens of major brands. For most of the impacted sites I analyzed, the impact was disproportionately targeted to the company’s blog, or another folder containing informational articles and resources. That same organic trajectory …
Using Photoshop inside ChatGPT sounds like a heavyweight crashing a welterweight’s bout. Image generation is baked into ChatGPT after all, with DALL-E 3. But after running a sample batch of ten photos through it, I get the logic behind using an outsider like Photoshop as a connected app in ChatGPT. Even if you don’t get …
PR must be social-first because news and trends now break on social before traditional media. Strong campaigns build social-ready soundbites and stats into the strategy from day one. Brands shouldn’t chase every viral moment—only trends that fit their audience and relevance. The future of PR is integrated with SEO, social, and influencer marketing, not siloed …
An analysis of 16,000 U.S. search queries found that text ads gained 7 to 13 percentage points of click share between January 2025 and January 2026. SEO consultant Aleyda Solis used Similarweb clickstream estimates to measure click share across classic organic results, SERP features, text ads, PLAs, and zero-click behavior. She also tracked how often …
I’ve relied on Google Photos for years, mainly because it made backing up my pictures effortless and offered handy editing tools in one place. At first, it really felt convenient and dependable. Over time, though, the experience started to feel overwhelming. The interface now feels crowded, and finding older photos or searching for something specific …
When the average customer age increases for a brand, it’s rarely a platform failure. It’s usually a signal that younger audiences are discovering, evaluating, and buying in different places, and older established brands haven’t kept pace. As of 2026, Gen Z spans ages 14 to 29. They’re the first generation raised in a digital online …
I’m an avid note-taker, and for years, I’ve used several note-taking apps, including open-source options and even Notion. Notion, at one point, felt like a second brain holding my dashboards, linked databases, content pipelines, reading trackers, and more. The only problem was that it stopped feeling like an efficient note-taker the moment I realized I …
Google’s John Mueller offered a simple solution to a Redditor who blamed Google’s “AI” for a note in the SERPs saying that the website was down since early 2026. The Redditor didn’t create a post on Reddit, they just linked to their blog post that blamed Google and AI. This enabled Mueller to go straight …
Graphic design was revolutionized when Canva first came around. No longer do you need to be a graphic designer and Photoshop expert to craft compelling thumbnails or make graphical assets of any kind. Canva did all the hard work with a simple web-based editor, a huge selection of templates, and access to a large library …
Google’s SERPs are changing faster than most SEO strategies can keep up. Does AI Mode change which keywords are still worth targeting? Which SERP features actually drive organic traffic in 2026? The expansion of AI Overviews into new keyword and intent queries, AI Mode’s attempt to dominate the search experience, and ongoing experimentation with new …
Fixing formatting in Microsoft Word can often take you away from the business end of writing. If it’s a long document, headings jump, images refuse to align, and working with a technical document can be a challenge. Every long document saved in your local drive often feels fragile. Cloud document editors like Typst are based …
Google’s Search Relations team was asked directly whether you still need a website in 2026. They didn’t give a one-size-fits-all answer. The conversation stayed focused on trade-offs between owning a website and relying on platforms such as social networks or app stores. In a new episode of the Search Off the Record podcast, Gary Illyes …
Antivirus programs for Windows have been around almost as long as Windows itself. Recently, I decided to stop relying on one of the many antivirus programs for Windows. Instead, I started using Microsoft Defender’s behavior monitoring instead. The result: no more bloated antivirus suites for me! Traditional antivirus software, such as that from Norton and …
In the recent episode of Google’s Ads Decoded podcast, Ginny Marvin sat down with Brandon Ervin, Director of Product Management for Search Ads, to address a topic many PPC marketers have strong opinions about: campaign and ad group consolidation. Ervin, who oversees product development across core Search and Shopping ad automation, including query matching, Smart …
At the start of 2026, I revived my old laptop by installing Linux. It was too old to run Windows 11, but it was still in good condition, so I didn’t want to throw it away. And to my surprise, everything was going smoothly. Performance was fine; the latest Linux distros felt complete, until I …
Google’s VP of Ads and Commerce, Vidhya Srinivasan, published her third annual letter to the industry, outlining how the company plans to connect advertising, commerce, and AI across Search, YouTube, and Gemini in 2026. The letter covers agentic commerce, AI-powered ad formats, creator partnerships, and creative tools. Several of the announcements build on features Google …
Many people would agree that Windows Search is unreliable. In fact, it’s not uncommon for experts to suggest other tools to address Windows Search’s shortcomings. This points to a fundamental issue. I have had times when I typed something into Windows Search and got only half-relevant results. However, what if the problem isn’t just about …
Common Crawl is a large, open web dataset that was historically used in early LLM training. According to Metehan, blocking Common Crawl may not remove a site’s link influence, because inbound links still affect its metrics. Harmonic Centrality and PageRank reflect authority and visibility in Common Crawl, but should be used only for benchmarking, not …

Your router is your portal to the outside world and a vital part of how you interact with the internet. Most of the time, you’re advised to leave your router alone unless you know what you’re doing. There are settings in there that, once tweaked, could stop you from getting online. But there are also …
When we launched our first State of Digital PR last year, digital PR was entering a resurgence. This year, many say digital PR is even more effective than last year (driven in part by AI), yet it’s reportedly becoming more challenging. We interviewed 150+ digital PR professionals to understand how they were addressing challenges and …
Most SEO teams believe they need more data to report success, but what they actually have is metric debt, at least that’s what I keep seeing. The accumulated cost of optimizing for key performance indicators that no longer reflect how growth happens. The environment has changed, mostly because economic pressure has shifted expectations. At the …
Summary Discord is rolling out new account defaults to help protect younger users. Age checks using facial scanning or IDs will be required to enable full access to content.

Google revised its “Get on Discover” documentation following the lauch of the February Discover core update. On its documentation updates page, Google said it added more information on how sites can increase the likelihood of content appearing in Discover. Here’s what was added. What Changed Comparing the archived version with the current page shows Google …
I’ve seen people keep their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off and then turn them on each time they need to use a Bluetooth device or connect to a wireless network. When asked why, the most common answer is battery life. But are the gains from turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi big enough to be worth the …
A 90 Day Plan to Prepare Every Location for AI Search AI is changing how consumers discover and choose local brands. For multi-location businesses, visibility is no longer decided only by search rankings. AI agents now evaluate location data, reviews, content, engagement, and brand trust before a customer ever clicks. This shift means each individual …
I remember the sad times before SSDs were ubiquitous. We are now spoiled by lightning-fast boot times, near-instant app launches, and transfer speeds that make hard drives look like they belong in the Stone Age. So when I came to realize that SSDs slow down over time, it felt like a design flaw, or, worse …
Welcome to the week’s Pulse for SEO: updates affect how Google ranks content in Discover, how it plans to monetize AI search, and what content you serve to bots. Here’s what matters for you and your work. Google Releases Discover-Only Core Update Google launched the February 2026 Discover core update, a broad ranking change targeting …
For years, IT departments have drilled the 90-day password change rule into our heads, and most of us never questioned it. The logic seemed sound when computing power was more limited and cracking a password hash took considerable time. The rule was to change your password regularly and stay secure. However, security experts, including NIST, …
Google has launched a core update specifically for Discover, rather than Search more broadly. The February Discover core update began Feb. 5 for English-language users in the U.S., with plans to expand to other countries and languages. Google says the rollout may take up to two weeks. Google has started a Discover …
I’ll be honest, I’ve always been awful at remembering names. You know that embarrassing moment when someone greets you enthusiastically, clearly remembering your last conversation, and you’re frantically trying to recall what their name is. Or worse, whether you’ve even met them before. Your local LLM might turn any file into a mind map, but …
Most SEO failures are not optimization failures. They are reasoning failures that occur before optimization even begins. In enterprise SEO escalations, the pattern is remarkably consistent. Teams jump straight to causes, debate theories, and assign blame before anyone clearly articulates the actual problem they are trying to understand. Once blame enters the conversation, problem definition …
Summary The Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series are being moved to a quarterly update schedule. Affected devices include the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro.

There’s nothing more frustrating than being out and about and needing some minor tech accessory you accidentally left at home. We’ve all done it, and for the sake of preparedness, I’d rather carry a small pouch with the essentials daily if it comes in clutch just one time. I’ve put together the perfect kit of …
LinkedIn published findings from its internal testing on what drives visibility in AI-generated search results. The company, reportedly among the most-cited sources in AI responses, shared what worked for improving its presence in LLMs and AI Overviews.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra as my main Android phone. While Apple took a while to introduce the Always on Display (AOD) feature, Android phones have had it for a bit longer. I use AOD to have a quick glance at the time, notifications, and what music I am listening to. Although there …

If your phone ever connects to a 2G network, you’re putting yourself at a grave security risk that could let hackers monitor all of your data, including passwords. Depending on where you live, it’s unlikely your phone will ever drop to 2G, but if you live in a rural area or in a location where …
AI tools produce different brand recommendation lists nearly every time they answer the same question, according to a new report from SparkToro. The data showed a <1-in-100 chance that ChatGPT or Google’s AI in Search (AI Overviews/AI Mode) would return the same list of brands across repeated runs of the same prompt. Rand Fishkin, SparkToro …
Investing in security cameras for your home can be a costly endeavor. The hardware itself can be pricey, many cameras now require subscriptions for full functionality, and you’ll need to make sure your home Wi-Fi network is up to snuff as well. An easy way to avoid spending a small fortune on security cameras is …
You publish a page that solves a real problem. It reads clean. It has examples, and it has the edge cases covered. You would happily hand it to a customer. Then you ask an AI platform the exact question that page answers, and your page never shows up. No citation, no link, no paraphrase. Just …
When someone tells you to buy a graphics card that launched back in April 2017 in 2026, your first instinct would likely be to laugh and scroll away. There are plenty of tips and tricks for buying GPUs on launch day, but when you’re building a budget rig, these older GPUs can really come in …
Schedule regular conversations with customers to uncover repeatable pain points, not just opinions. Choose marketing channels based on where your audience already gathers, not on what your team is most comfortable with. Broaden your definition of content beyond articles to include experiences, tools, and interactions. Tie every creative idea to a clear path toward leads, …
TL;DR Disambiguation is the process of resolving ambiguity and uncertainty in data. It’s crucial in modern-day SEO and information retrieval. Search engines and LLMs reward content that is easy to “understand,” not content that is necessarily best. The clearer and better structured your content, the harder it is to replace. You have to reinforce how your brand …
Google Photos has a lot of excellent features, including Cinematic Photos, animations and AI enhancements, a decent image editor and collage maker. But some features can be really annoying. For instance, I don’t want to see all my screenshots and GIFs in the library after they are backed up, hide specific photos from Memories that …
Digital PR places brands on sites and platforms where most Americans actually consume information. Digital PR–driven rankings and brand mentions correlate with AI citations and AI-generated answers. High-authority publisher links and brand mentions secured through digital PR likely influence AI. The traditional throughline of digital PR to rankings and blue-link SEO may matter less, since …
Google is making Gemini 3 the default model for AI Overviews in markets where the feature is available and adding a direct path into AI Mode conversations.

Over the past decade, I’ve gotten more value out of the Google Nest Hub than any other smart home gadget — or any other tech product, for that matter. The 7-inch smart display launched in 2018 for $149, but was frequently sold for much less than that, and I’ve been using it almost every day …
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said Google doesn’t have any current plans to introduce advertising into its Gemini AI assistant, citing unresolved questions about user trust. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Hassabis said AI assistants represent a different product than search. He believes Gemini should be built for users first. “In the …
Smart TVs are meant for personal entertainment. You buy it for its crisp 4K resolution, the deep blacks, vibrant HDR, and cinematic sound quality.

Building a smart home that’s actually functional takes time. You need to decide on the most important smart home devices for you and you need to acquire them.

A security advisory was published about a vulnerability in the Photo Gallery by 10Web plugin that has over 200,000 installations.

I have been a proponent of smart lighting since I installed the first bulb in my home. I’d lived in apartments for years and had never thought I needed smart lighting. But when I moved into my house, it seemed like a reasonable idea to have lights that could be turned on even when no …
Data becomes useful when it’s translated into everyday language people can act on, not left as spreadsheets, KPIs, and jargon. The biggest mistake is drowning in the details; strong data work starts by zooming out, understanding the user journey, and then checking whether the right data exists. Internal (first-party) data is the best starting point …
The debate about AEO/GEO centers on whether it’s a subset of SEO, a standalone discipline, or just standard SEO.

When you’re trying to improve your home, it matters what tools you have. You have to have the right paintbrushes if you want to paint at an angle and the proper rollers for the specific wall you’re painting. You might be like me and have purchased a tool for one specific job and then haven’t …
Most Americans do not rely on AI for news, with roughly 60% saying they never or rarely get news from AI. AI has not replaced traditional news habits, as user behavior is shifting more toward social. 71.7% of Americans who use AI for news have seen it produce false information. Only 7.1% of Americans trust …
SEO died as a traffic channel the moment pipeline stopped following page views. Traffic is either down for many sites, or its growth nowhere near reflects growth rates of 2019-2022, but demos and pipeline are up for brands that shifted from chasing clicks to building authority. What you’ll get in today’s memo: Why traffic and …
My three-season room is maybe 15 feet from the living room. A glass slider separates them. There are no ducts running out there, no vents, and nothing tying it to our HVAC system (besides keeping the slider open) — so it roasts in summer and turns into a freezer come January. I’ve fixed other temperature …
TL;DR To generate the most value from Discover, view it through an entity-focused lens. People, places, organisations, teams, et al.

What makes …
Upgrading your home doesn’t mean that you need to buy the latest and greatest device on the market. While it may be cool to splurge on a fancy new purchase, like a new TV, most of your purchases for your home aren’t going to be as sexy. I am always thinking about the reality as …
Google’s John Mueller recently answered a question about phantom noindex errors reported in Google Search Console. Mueller asserted that these reports may be real.

Smart home electronics feel like a thing of the future, even though they’re very much available now.

Wi-Fi smart bulbs promise an easy entry point into home automation. Screw one in, download an app, and suddenly you’re living in the future. At least, that’s how the marketing goes.

It’s happened to all of us. You make something for lunch or dinner, and then you can smell it in your home for hours afterward. It can get in your hair, and on your clothes, and even at the end of the night, you can smell it in different rooms. This isn’t specific to one …
Synapse was built to move PR pitching out of overloaded email inboxes. Even perfectly targeted pitches fail when mass “spray-and-pray” outreach overloads the system, so the channel—not just the message—has to change. Synapse keeps requests, replies, and DMs within the platform. Traditional media databases are becoming less effective because maintaining accurate contact data is expensive. …
The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has published its annual predictions report based on a survey of 280 senior media leaders across 51 countries and territories.

When one thinks of smart home technology, even the best smart plugs on the market are perhaps the last thing that comes to mind. These entry-level devices are discussed far less than high-end security cameras and smart thermostats. And yet, it’s the simplicity of these accessories that can make them among the most versatile tools …
OpenAI partners broadly, but partnerships don’t guarantee ChatGPT citations. Google uses very little licensed news data for LLM training beyond Associated Press. Perplexity signs the most publishers, and gets blocked the most. Microsoft’s deals mainly support Copilot. Meta mixes licensed news with user content, limiting partner impact. No AI company clearly explains how licensed content …
YouTube is updating its Advertiser-friendly content guidelines to allow more videos about certain “controversial issues” to earn full ad revenue, as long as the content is non-graphic and presented in a dramatized or discussion-based context. The change was outlined in a Creator Insider video and is reflected in YouTube’s Help Center policy language. What’s Changing …
Nobody wants to feel unsafe in their own home. It’s like the song “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell. The lyrics “When I’m in the shower, I’m afraid to wash my hair because I might open my eyes and find someone standing there” can show how uneasy someone might be in their own home. Okay, maybe …
Right now, we’re dealing with a search landscape that is both unstable in influence and dangerously easy to manipulate. We keep asking how to influence AI answers – without acknowledging that LLM outputs are probabilistic by design. In today’s memo, I’m covering: Why LLM visibility is a volatility problem. What new research proves about how …
Technology is advancing at an alarming rate, and I’m glad that I’m here to witness it happening in real time.

When Google announced that shoppers could complete purchases directly in AI Mode, the focus was on convenience and technical capability.

The retailer cited concerns that customers never visit the store, see accessory recommendations from …
If you’re like me, one of your household tasks is doing the dishes. It’s not a fun chore, but it has to get done each day to give you clean utensils and plates to eat with. After cooking a big meal, the last thing you want to have to do is clean all the dishes …
Google announced tools that let shoppers complete purchases directly within AI Mode and chat with branded AI agents in Search results. Users can purchase from eligible product listings on Google. Retailers are still the seller of record, while the checkout happens on Google surfaces instead of the retailer’s website. Universal Commerce Protocol Powers AI Mode …
Having a smart home is pointless if you have to intervene and tell your home what to do. But if you take advantage of the automations that run silently in the background without you having to do anything — now that’s smart!

Enterprise SEO is at the center of some fascinating and fundamental shifts right now.

As someone who is not the most handy person, I have tried to learn as much as possible about household chores and tasks. Being a first-time homeowner has brought on plenty of challenges, and there are still plenty of jobs I don’t feel comfortable enough with my skills to even attempt on my own. But …
Paid media didn’t slow down last year. If anything, the platforms made sure we stayed busy. Google rolled out more AI-assisted ad creation features, new Performance Max reporting updates, and continued refining how AI-influenced results shape visibility across search. Microsoft pushed forward with its own set of AI tools inside Ads and Copilot, along with …
My wife and I bought a house a few years ago after searching for one for months. Once the home was finally ours, we were thrilled to start making it the home we would raise our kids in. After our daughter was born, we made some upgrades so the house would be a better space …
ChatGPT accounted for 64% of worldwide traffic share among gen AI chatbot websites as of January, while Google’s Gemini reached 21%, according to Similarweb’s Global AI Tracker.

Think about all the times you’ve had to do small jobs around your home that involve a screwdriver or an electric driver. Whether it’s hanging up pictures, curtains, or shelves, or assembling furniture, your hand can get a workout while you’re twisting and turning. Some jobs are too delicate for an electric screwdriver or drill. …
Digital PR works when it’s “good PR” grounded in SEO fundamentals. Traditional and digital PR are rapidly converging into one discipline. A sustainable digital PR offering is usually retainer-based and requires steady coverage and links. The strongest digital PR programs prioritize link value over link volume. Track things like link relevance, new referring domains, and …

Organizing my Downloads folder has never been something I enjoy. All kinds of files, including PDFs, installers, images, and ZIP archives, pile up quickly, and sorting them manually feels like busywork I’d rather avoid. I used to let things accumulate until the clutter became unbearable, then spend time dragging files into their proper folders. However, …
Google’s December core update ran from December 11 to December 29. Early analysis shared after the rollout points to a familiar pattern. Sites with narrower, category-specific strength appear to be gaining ground against broader, generalist pages in several verticals. Aleyda Solís, International SEO Consultant and Founder at Orainti, published an analysis on LinkedIn breaking down …
I’ve used Linux for several years. My introduction was with Kali Linux, but it turned out not to be the ideal starting point, so I left the ecosystem for a few years. When I next tried, it was Zorin OS, one of the most beautiful Linux distributions. Ever since, I’ve used Fedora, Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, …
Every December, brands battle for something far more valuable than views: emotional resonance. And according to new data from DAIVID, 2025 may be one of the strongest holiday seasons yet for emotionally engaging advertising across North America. This year shows an acceleration of trends I’ve long argued shape effective holiday storytelling: nostalgia, warmth, joy, and …
Google’s default Android apps aren’t bad, but they’re not great either. The file manager is still very basic and lacks FTP features, the media player only supports standard formats, and the authenticator app lacks a local-first encrypted export. Then there’s a genuine concern about privacy and data ownership. Open-source alternatives have quietly solved these problems. …
Santa’s coming! The world waits with excitement and anticipation for the arrival of Santa Claus as he starts his world tour for 2025. Children (and adults) everywhere are eager to track the man in the red suit as he defies the speed limit to make his journey across the globe in just one night. To …
Benchmark scores are one way to measure the performance of your PC, but they don’t tell the full story. Windows also has a rather annoying habit of burying important information under layers of menus or obscure tools that the average user rarely encounters. Just like there’s a hidden score that shows how well your PC …
Figuring out how to divide your budget between SEO and PPC is one of those decisions that looks simple on paper but feels complicated once you start running the numbers. Both channels play very different roles, and both come with their own timelines, risks, and expectations. Leadership wants predictable performance. Teams want room to test. …
I had to borrow and work entirely from my partner’s Mac Mini for two weeks when my Windows laptop had to be sent to the service centre for a motherboard-related issue. After two weeks, while I still prefer my Windows laptop over macOS, there were two features that I wished Windows had: Quick Look and …

I don’t know if you’ve paid attention, but installing apps on a PC can be a real pain. While the Microsoft Store is the safest and easiest way to install apps, there are way too many issues to ignore, from app availability to the lack of ability to install apps in bulk. And we all …
Enterprise SEO is at the center of some fascinating and fundamental shifts right now. From mainstream media coverage in the Wall Street Journal and Forbes to the Associated Press, Business Insider, Entrepreneur, and more. The role of search and SEO and its impact on enterprise brands and their visibility in a new AI era made …
Google Maps has always been a source of mixed feelings for me. On the one hand, it’s undeniably powerful and intuitive. On the other hand, there is a discernible trade-off regarding privacy, openness, and user control that I’ve never been entirely comfortable with. For this reason, I’ve experimented with various alternatives, including OpenStreetMap-based apps like …

Since I started working here at MUO, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find ways to modernize and update my smart home.

When OpenAI quietly added native shopping to ChatGPT – alongside a partnership with Walmart – it marked more than another AI feature rollout. It signaled a fundamental shift in how consumers discover, compare, and purchase products online. For the first time, shoppers can browse and buy directly inside an AI conversation – no search results, …
Microsoft’s strategy for AI has been a bit strange from the very beginning. It’s partly leveraging its stronghold on business software, delivering key AI integrations in Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 with the Microsoft Copilot chatbot and voice assistant. However, it’s also dead-set on making Copilot a cross-platform site while partnering with OpenAI to use …

When looking for a portable monitor, I explored a few options ranging from $60 to $150, including ASUS’s ZenScreen. But since I only needed a portable monitor for my laptop when traveling (it’s not feasible to carry around my bulky ultrawide monitor), I tried a DIY method first by repurposing my old Android tablet to …
This year has been a continuation of learning and understanding about how AI impacts our industry. It’s been less about the chaos of the initial disruption and more about “how do we leverage this?” My belief is that SEO is a practice that needs to be adaptable to the end goal and not fixed to …
Storage space on Windows has a way of disappearing when you least expect it. Your drive fills up faster than you’d expect, thanks to system files, app caches, and updates.

Most of the software installed on our devices today is working a double shift. Its primary job might be to play music or open an image, but its secondary job (and the one that pays the developers’ bills) is to upsell subscriptions, harvest behavioral data, or keep our eyeballs glued to a feed. We have …
In 2025, Google’s AI tool Gemini topped global searches. People tracked cricket matches between India and England, looked up details on the new Pope, and searched for information about Iran and the TikTok ban. They followed LA fires and government shutdowns. But between the headlines, they also looked up Pedro Pascal and Mikey Madison. They …
It’s frustrating that the most important website accounts are often the ones with the worst security options. I can set a 100-character password on a random forum account, while banks commonly limit your password to 20 characters (and sometimes without symbols). My bank’s security options are poor compared to many other accounts, but I’ve still …
Focus on what sparks public opinion and conversation. Surveys with just 1–2 well-crafted questions can yield strong PR results—don’t overcomplicate it. Simplicity is key for headlines. Trending or overdone topics (like tipping) can still succeed with fresh, up-to-date data and emotional framing. Demographic splits (e.g., Gen Z, political affiliation) are essential for pitchable headlines and …
I recently became frustrated while working with Claude, and it led me to an interesting exchange with the platform, which led me to examining my own expectations, actions, and behavior…and that was eye-opening. The short version is I want to keep thinking of AI as an assistant, like a lab partner. In reality, it needs …
The Mac mini was never meant to replace my existing setup. Windows had been my default for years, and it still handled my work reliably. Most of what I do involves writing, researching, and keeping dozens of browser tabs open at once, so I didn’t have a strong reason to switch platforms. Because of that, …
Microsoft has shared new guidance on duplicate content that’s aimed at AI-powered search.

If you lean toward open source or simply want an Android setup that attracts less attention from big tech, you already know how tedious it can be to keep sideloaded apps up to date.

Google sued SerpApi in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging the company developed methods to bypass protections Google deployed to prevent automated scraping of Search results and the licensed content they contain. Why This Case Is Different Unlike previous cases that focused on terms-of-service violations or broader scraping methods, Google’s …
I have cleverly used my old Android phone as a TV remote, a security camera, a baby monitoring device, and even turned my phone into a webcam. However, tablets with their large screen sizes are more useful devices, so I decided to use them as a replacement for three expensive gadgets that I was planning …
Digital PR and traditional PR serve different goals: SEO and link-building vs. long-term trust and credibility. Digital PR often reports to SEO or marketing, while traditional PR reports directly to the C-suite. Mislabeling SEO-focused tactics as “PR” creates market confusion and erodes trust in true communications strategy. Successful PR and digital PR collaboration hinges on …

I don’t use Linux religiously, but I work with it regularly to revive older PCs with lightweight distributions and for personal hobby projects. It’s enough hands-on time to form real opinions about both operating systems. In doing all this, I’ve realized how incredibly simple Windows makes certain things I’d always taken for granted. Some of …
Over 50% of journalists rarely receive relevant pitches — hyper-targeted outreach is essential for digital PR success. Use layered Google search tactics (e.g., allintitle:, site:, date filters) to find journalist-written content by format and topic. AI tools like ChatGPT work well for finding *relevant sites*, but are unreliable for identifying specific journalists. Always validate journalists …
The search industry is entering a transition that many people still treat as a footnote.

Summary Mozilla’s new CEO plans to shift Firefox into a “modern AI browser” as part of a broader ecosystem. Users fear AI features will impact privacy, worsen performance, and push needed fixes to the back burner.

Spam is back in search. And in a big way. Honestly, I don’t think Google can handle this at all. The scale is unprecedented. They went after publishers manually with the site reputation abuse update. More expired domain abuse is reaching the top of the SERPs than at any time I can remember in recent …
It’s the 21st century, and our lives are busy. We have to worry about work, connect with family and friends, tend to our health, follow the news, and somehow squeeze in some entertainment to make sure we stay sane.

It’s that time of year again, where everyone gets to debate what’s a Christmas movie and what isn’t.

So many people spent 2025 arguing about whether SEO was dying. It was never dying. It was shifting into a new layer. Discovery continues to move from search boxes to AI systems.

For almost 30 straight years, Westerns dominated Hollywood. They accounted for a huge number of movies produced, including classics like Shane, The Searchers, and A Fistful of Dollars. The lone gunslinger became a stock character, the saloon an iconic location, and the taming of the lawless frontier, a theme that captured the attention of people …
Start audits with brand immersion, then benchmark against 3–5 direct or challenger competitors. Prioritize backlink quality, relevance, and link intersections over sheer quantity. Incorporate AI Overviews (AIOs) and LLM citations into audits, but report cautiously due to evolving tools.

There are three inevitabilities in life. Death, taxes, and big tech companies dumping on the little guy.

To create a value exchange that reduces reliance on third-party …

I ditched cable TV years ago, and Netflix was a big reason for that. But between Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video, I was juggling too many subscriptions. So when Netflix came up for renewal, I figured it was time to cut one loose. To my surprise, I didn’t miss it as much as I thought …

Marketers love using tech buzzwords to trick you into spending more money than necessary.

The “vinyl revival” crept into pop culture in 2007, and new generations are becoming acquainted with it still today.

Adobe just paid $1.9 billion for Semrush. Not for the LLM tracking dashboards. For the platform, the customer relationships, and the distribution.

Adobe’s acquisition proves dashboards were …

That quiet shift (from ranking pages to reasoning with content) is what’s breaking the optimization stack …

1. How AI Overviews and AI Mode Are Disrupting Local Search Visibility “Our data showed a noticeable drop in organic traffic where AI overviews are displacing maps.

Single-question polls with demographic breakdowns (age, gender, politics) are YouGov’s most …

I’ve watched enough comedy that I can now, with a pretty good success rate, determine if a movie I just watched will stand up to a second rewatch.

I still remember the first time I tried to build a dashboard in Excel.

Like many, Google Keep has made its forever home on my smartphone’s home screen. I developed a habit of jotting down everything. Interesting quote? Noted. A to-do list? Noted. Grocery list? Added. A link to that one funny video I found on YouTube? Pasted. Keep was my note-taking, bookmarking, and reminder app, all in one. …
The State of SEO and AI Search Confusion in the space: multiple terms (GEO, LMO, AO, ASEO, etc.) “I just wanted to acknowledge how confusing this space has become.

Windows 11 has a half-decent built-in clipboard manager—press Win + V, and you can access the last 25 copied items from the clipboard history.

Artificial intelligence is transforming how people search, discover, and act on information.

Two forces drive this disruption: rapid …

Google rolled out AI Overviews to all U.S. users in May 2024. Since then, publishers have reported significant traffic losses, with some seeing click-through rates drop by as much as 89%.

As much as I’m a morning person, waking up isn’t always easy. Yes, it’s easier most days, especially at the beginning of the week, but some days it’s hard to wake up on time, no matter how many alarms I set.

Despite years of digital transformation talk, too many CEOs and CFOs still treat the corporate website as a necessary marketing expense, a sunk cost with limited upside.

Three years ago, I downloaded Obsidian, thinking I’d finally found the perfect tool for organizing my thoughts and building a digital brain.

They carry the unfiltered language of …
I won’t say that the easiest way to determine if a photo is a fake is by using our eyes. Deepfakes are inching closer to “reality,” so we have to fall back on AI image detectors. These tools are trained on millions of images, both real and AI-generated, which allows them to recognize the subtle …
For years, the SEO equation appeared to be a fixed and unchanging landscape: optimizing for Googlebot on one side, and creating content for human users on the other.

Note-taking apps are everywhere, but many of the most popular ones—like Evernote or Notion—are closed-source.

Google returns to court on Monday for the remedies phase of the Department of Justice’s ad-tech antitrust case, where the government is asking the judge to order a divestiture of Google Ad Manager.

When was the last time you actually used your browser bookmarks? If you’re like me, the answer is “not recently.” It’s not because we don’t want to save useful pages—it’s because bookmark systems are clunky, hard to search through, and suffer from usability problems that most people either ignore or work around with various hacks. …

Newsjacking has two paths: planned reactive (e.g. budget announcements) and breaking reactive (e.g. heatwaves, celebrity feuds).

Before we dig in, some context. What follows is hypothetical. I don’t engage in black-hat tactics, I’m not a hacker, and this isn’t a guide for anyone to try.

Staring at endless text-based lists and bullet points was killing my motivation to track anything consistently in Obsidian.

Then, I discovered how to transform my Obsidian notes into visual progress charts, and everything …
Reddit and Wikipedia dominate ChatGPT visibility across nearly all major datasets analyzed. Forbes, TechRadar, and Business Insider consistently appear, suggesting strong domain authority and topical relevance. OpenAI data partnerships don’t guarantee increased visibility in ChatGPT outputs. Query type and dataset design dramatically influence which sites are surfaced by AI. Sites with a strong presence on …
Brand marketing is often the silent driver behind successful digital campaigns. People are far more likely to read, watch, click, and ultimately buy from a brand they already know and trust. That’s why doing the harder, slower work of building a strong brand pays dividends when it comes to performance marketing efforts like SEO and …
When Google finally rolled out tables in Sheets back in mid-2024, there wasn’t so much buzz. Maybe it was because the feature felt long overdue, or because Excel has long dominated the conversation around serious data handling. Either way, the update slipped largely under the radar, leaving many people convinced that Sheets still can’t hold …

An iPad is a handy tool to have around, but it always played second fiddle to my MacBook Pro for work and creative purposes.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is emerging as the key framework for increasing brand visibility in AI-generated search results.

The Core Web Vitals Technology Report by the open source HTTPArchive community ranks content management systems by how well they perform on Google’s Core Web Vitals (CWV).

When I first unboxed my gaming mouse, I was thinking about headshots, not spreadsheets. The high-precision sensor, programmable buttons, and RGB lighting—it all screams gaming.

You don’t need to post daily — showing up on LinkedIn once a week already makes you more active than 97% of users.

One of the strengths of WordPress is its extensibility. You can run everything from e-shops and booking systems to massive WordPress multisites from one instance of WordPress.

There are dozens of options to choose from, and plenty of considerations to make, which can make building your setup …
DR/DA are “vanity metrics” and useful for quick validation, but they can be easily gamed. Spammy link tactics (like DR-boosting and HARO overuse) lead to poor keyword relevance, traffic drops, and risk of manual penalties. Google’s SpamBrain evaluates link context and relevance, not just volume. Engagement-driven links hold more value, especially as AI-powered search increasingly …
Bias in search isn’t always negative. It’s easy to frame it as something sinister, but bias shows up for structural reasons, behavioral reasons, and sometimes as a deliberate choice. The real task for marketers and communicators is recognizing when it’s happening, and what that means for visibility, perception, and control. Two recent pieces got me …

The way people find and consume information has shifted. We, as marketers, must think about visibility across AI platforms and Google.

When Judge Amit P. Mehta issued his long-awaited remedies decision in the Google search antitrust case, the industry exhaled a collective sigh of relief.

Email stands at the center of my online life and, like most of the world, this has meant Gmail. Of all the options, Gmail is one of the most convenient choices since it integrates with many other services I often use. But since I’ve been seeking ways to de-Google my life, I started searching for …

I love books, but I rarely finish them these days. My attention span is losing out to 300-page nonfiction doorstoppers. So, to keep learning, I snack on book summary apps and websites.

Let’s reminisce for a moment. Do you remember how, back in 2020, we all obsessed over “link juice” and PageRank flow as far as internal links are concerned?

“Stop trying to make GEO happen. It’s not going to happen.” With apologies to Gretchen Wieners and the writers of “Mean Girls,” the line feels like the only way to start this conversation about a buzzword making the rounds: GEO (which is now, allegedly, supposed to mean Generative Engine Optimization). This article grew out of …
Deleting images and videos from your overflowing camera roll is never fun. It’s time-consuming and, simply… boring.

The horror genre tends to get oversaturated due to how cheap movies are to produce and how profitable they are.

WordPress is still the most popular open-source content management system (CMS) – by far – powering 43.5 % of all websites on the web, and still in my opinion the most adaptable CMS to work with.
