Focus on news SEO? -> How Forbes, the Financial Times, Snopes, Trusted Media Brands, and other news publishers are updating on-site search with AI chatbots "Beyond improving the functionality of on-site search, the 9 publishers that spoke with Digiday said the goals behind

i am LOVING the nasa commentary on #Eclipse2024 day. especially when they said "i see Jupiter!!" and I thought, me too! but it was dirt on my laptop🙃

Pleased to report I can crochet and walk at the same time. Slowly. And not well (for both the walking and the crochet).

Both Shelby Blackley and I have long and winding career paths. We're in news SEO because it blends together all the skills we've developed in previous roles. Join us April 17 (WEDNESDAY) for a fun chat all about learning and leveling up on the job. seoforjournalism.com/p/april-2024-c…

my career path = 7 different jobs in 3 years. i'm not even kidding. come learn how Jessie Willms and i navigated this thing called audience development and landed as news SEOs — and how YOU can too! 💫

Inclusion rate or tax rate? Taxes on wages vs capital gains? Lots of confusion out there. It's simple: $1 in wages. Top marginal tax rate = 53%. Keep $0.47. $1 in corporate profit --> 26% corporate tax rate = $0.74 distributed as capital gains --> 50% inclusion rate = $0.37

Counterpoint: if you’re gonna interview economists working for capital, then also interview economists working for labour.

Over a 10 year period 80% of taxpayers NEVER generate a capital gain ever. Of 20% who do, avg is $5,200. And number who would actually hit $250,000 for cap gains alone would be about 1-2% (of the 20%). This doesn’t cover corps but you get a very clear sense — impact is narrow.

The GoogleTrends data showing on puzzle searches is wild — "All of the top five trending definition searches over the past year in the US are from the New York Times Connections." To quote a tweet I read but can't find: Is the NYT a Games company branded as a news company

Just wondering how online publishers SHOULD make money these days, like what is left for them? Subscription/paywall only, which everyone also hates?

Looks like the ride's over for publishers with coupon integrations. Google's guidance would have you believe 3rd party coupon integrations with close supervision are "not spam," but the proof is in the pudding here.

Obviously not surprised, but wouldn't it be nice if Sundar Pichai mentioned a single sentence or idea related to: - The extreme devastation (or they could frame it as 'improvements') Google search has caused thousands, if not millions of websites, with recent algorithm updates

A work of art tbh

...The Featured Snippet was more than sufficient.
