The traffic bargain was a lucky externality, not a contract. Nobody signed anything.

AI systems don’t cite sources because they metabolise them. Asking for attribution is like asking someone to cite the conversations that shaped their personality.

The traffic bargain was a lucky externality, not a contract. It's time to stop mourning it.

Dilemma:
🥳 - Publish a good technical guide today
😰 - Realise it'll become a "last year's" piece in 3 days

My VP to me:
- "Is this SEO thing always this stressful?"

Me:
- How much time do you have?

This wave of bipolar disorder going around making people uncertain of what they've been doing in an industry that's been around for ~20 years is concerning.

IT'S NOT AN EVOLUTION IF THERE'S NOTHING DIFFERENT TO IT!

I guess Page Indexing Coverage in GSC is stuck on "Last updated: 12/07/2025"

My heartfelt support for all in-house SEOs being bombarded with questions from their teams about some article they read written by a random GEO/AIO/LEO scam artist.

Some days, my LinkedIn feed is so old, I can see SEOs posting about how Altavista might be a DMOZ killer!
July 9, 2025 at 12:44 PM
This is what I've come across on X, from someone recommending "How to do LEO (LLM Engine Optimization) for your startup"

If this is not old school SPAM, I don't know what is

It’s still SEO!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

If you received one of these on the left, you can do a test and verify your GSC bulk exports are still working.

This message is just a byproduct from GCP outage yesterday.

Random SEO Tip:
Actually, a reminder—Do you know what matters most? Talk to your users

I'm expecting any AI Mode data potentially coming to GSC will very likely be anonymised
