Did Google Ruin the Internet? + AI Challenge Update!

So, did Google ruin the internet?

Or is search better than it's ever been?

Jared Bauman and I just released a news podcast episode where we dive deep into a recent opinion piece from the Verge about SEOs, Google, and the quality of SERPS.

In addition, there are SEVERAL major changes or news stories that came out this week including:

  • November Google Core Update just announced.
  • Google Adsense moves from pay-per-click to impression-based.
  • In-depth study on how Reddit has become the largest product review site in the world.
  • A Google Discover bug
  • Google testing paid ads in the middle of SERPS
  • Major update to Google's Knowledge

And of course we both cover a couple of side hustle projects we are working on.

And then we bring it home with 2 weird niche sites.

A celebrity dating site and a very odd way to see the most UNPOPULAR videos on Youtube.

In my opinion, this is a great episode! Listen to Watch, or Read the full News Episode Right Here


1,600 Organic Sessions from AI Content with a New Site?

I'm excited to announce that the 1st FULL month report for the "Build a NEW Site with AI" Challenge is now available!

You can see all the progress reports, stats, and video updates right here.

I will simply say that I'm SHOCKED that the person in first place got over 1,600 organic sessions to their site in the very first full month.

That's crazy good.

As a reminder, this challenge lasts for 6 months, and I'm awarding $2,500 to the person who has the most organic traffic in the last full month.

So, all the participants still have a shot...but there is clearly a front-runner right now.

See all the reports for the AI Site Challenge Here.

Thanks again,

Spencer
