One in every five off-page citations in AI search answers comes from Reddit, and that share is growing 30% year over year. That data point drove an entire session from Amanda Kusner, Senior Solutions Consultant at Uberall, and Peter Wischmann, Senior Client Partner at Reddit. Their core argument: AI models decide which businesses to recommend […]
Katie Morton, editor-in-chief of Search Engine Journal, and I recorded the debut episode of Search Engine Journal’s revamped podcast, focusing on a recurring theme in our coverage. We discussed how clicks are declining on the open web, a trend many in search have noticed. We argue that much of this attention hasn’t vanished but has […]
A recent look at U.S. desktop browsing shows ChatGPT directed people to outside websites in 5.2% of sessions, compared to 31.1% for Google searches. The paper, conducted by Bocconi University researchers, examines Comscore clickstream data to gain insight into how broader access to ChatGPT has impacted traditional search. What The Data Shows When people click […]
The protocol layer of the agentic web is splitting into two bets, and most websites have already placed one of them without knowing it. The first bet is about identity: a file called llms.txt that tells AI models who you are and what your content covers. The second is about capability: a browser standard called […]
Most multi-channel strategies are not actually strategies — they’re a pile of channels reporting to the same conversion goal, judged the same way, regardless of what each one is actually built to do. Paid search gets a report. Social gets a report. Email, organic, and video each get their own scorecard. Everyone can tell you […]
For more than two decades, digital strategy has revolved around a deceptively simple objective: Drive people to webpages. Search engines rewarded documents. Analytics rewarded pageviews. Marketing rewarded engagement. As organizations matured, they invested heavily in designing increasingly sophisticated digital experiences that guided customers through carefully orchestrated buying journeys. Information was intentionally distributed across dozens, sometimes […]
Last year, 2.5% of Writesonic’s leads came from AI search. As of March, 35% do. Samanyou Garg, Founder and CEO of Writesonic, showed the system behind that number in his Search Engine Journal webinar: agents surface what moved across every search platform, practitioners prioritize and act. “AI search didn’t necessarily kill SEO, but it turned […]
Google’s John Mueller answered a question related to something a Redditor was using that’s called an llms-author.txt. The person who posted the question is having a hard time being found for their name because it is the same as two other more popular entities, making it more difficult for people to find them and discover […]
Last week, I argued that habitual publisher traffic – direct and branded – has been eroding for years, and that the under-35s are leading the charge. Not directly provable, but a theory. Now that I am no longer part of that cohort, it’s easier to pin the blame on them. Which is entirely what I […]
AI has been public enemy No. 1 for at least two years. As the early wave of excitement wore off, people realized the content we, as SEOs and publishers, had spent years flooding the internet with was being used to make the richest even richer. We cannot deny the open web is changing – AI […]
