Will small publishers survive Google "AI Overviews"?

If you are a small online publisher or niche website owner, you likely are thinking about AI Overviews and how they will impact your traffic from Google.

Today, Jared and I sat down and recorded a podcast to talk about this specific question.

However, what makes this episode fascinating is that Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, was asked specifically about small publishers and the impact of AI on their business.

The Verge conducted an excellent interview with the Google CEO and asked some very hard hitting questions specifically related to SEO, niche publishers, and AI Overviews.

Jared and I break it all down for you.

Go ahead and listen to todays episode right here.

During the 2nd half of today's podcast, we discuss a couple of side projects we are working on as well as share 2 weird niche sites.

I found a site getting over 16 million visitors a month and has actually seen a massive spike in Google over the past couple of months.

We chat about this site in depth as well.
