Big Reddit news -> Reddit Accuses ‘Data Scraper’ Companies of Theft (including Serpapi, Perplexity, and 2 other companies)

"In a lawsuit, Reddit pulled back the curtain on an ecosystem of start-ups that scrape Google’s search results and resell the information to data-hungry A.I. companies..."

Did you know that, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible?

When Online Content Disappears

A quarter of all webpages that existed at one point between 2013 and 2023 are no longer accessible.

honestly cannot remember the last time google serp volatility was in the "normal" range

unprecedented

now that ai tools scrape every-dang-thing, bing’s approach is surprisingly based

it lets publishers balance visibility and ip protection

smart move, especially for publishers trying to stay discoverable without being fodder for ai training data and live retrieval

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 6d

protect paywalled or premium content,

keep ads, disclaimers, or reviews out of snippets,

stabilize A/B tests, and

fine-tune how much ai models can preview from your pages

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 6d

microsoft just handed publishers something google never truly has: control over what ai can crawl

uh-huh, bing now supports the data-nosnippet HTML attribute, something google’s had for years, but bing’s version goes a step further

with it, you can:

every “people also ask” question that goes ai-generated means one less organic click opportunity

just another reminder to diversity your traffic sources beyond google

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 6d

google’s people also ask boxes are being taken over by ai

new data from alsoasked shows ai-generated answers now appear in 38% of english queries, up from 18% just three months ago

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 7d

your past activity, interests, and the sources you trust shape what you see

so if google’s ai answers start reflecting your history and preferred outlets, you'll now know why: it’s personalization layered on ai search

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 7d

google ai mode is going personal

yup, for signed in users, google is testing ai mode prompt suggestions based on your search history

this isn’t unlike how google already personalizes the SERPs for signed-in users

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 8d

it’s a good reminder: what feels like common knowledge in our bubble is often news to everyone else

there's opportunity in that, and it might just save your arse come next budget review

it’s easy to assume “everyone knows,” but the truth is, outside seo linkedin and twitter, barely anyone’s even heard of &num=100

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 8d

reddit is currently flooded with questions surrounding dropping impressions, but stable clicks

at this point, most of us know this is because google killed the &num=100 parameter

but there are plenty of website owners and marketers who have no idea the reason behind this

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 8d

we exist in information bubbles

here's an example of that:

Something tells me Google's August 2025 spam update—which lasted 26 days(!)—was more significant than we realize

Seeing many *legitimate* sites with significant movement beginning mid-September, reminiscent of the declining slopes we saw with the Helpful Content updates 📉

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 10d

hahaha! AIOs clearly weren't trained on enough youtube cricket highlight videos

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 10d

interesting article! personally, transformative or not, i believe publishers have a right to protect their IP

the inability to opt out of AIOs without being deindexed is a monopolistic tactic by google

Just another data point regarding the % of traffic from AI Search -> Raptive explains that traffic from ChatGPT makes up just .2% of traffic to its network of sites (5.2K sites as of April 2025). That's .2 with a decimal.

Oh boy -> Perplexity has paused accepting new advertisers as it rethinks how ads fit into its AI search experience, signaling a change in its monetization push

"Jessica Chan from Perplexity said that they are not “taking any new advertisers,” and that ads aren’t currently on the roadmap for Comet."

Perplexity Pauses New Advertising Deals to Reassess Ambitions

The move highlights the AI search startup's monetization challenges.

there’s still no evidence that openai, perplexity, or anthropic respect your robots.txt wishes.

and in google’s case, if you want to stay indexed, you’ll need to let its ai crawlers in.

leaving publishers stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 13d

publishers are finally drawing clearer lines around how (and by whom) their content gets used for ai training.

but with ai overviews and retrieval models expanding fast, the question remains:

who actually honors those robots.txt rules and who ignores them?

Loganix @loganix.bsky.social · 13d

more than 3,800 top domains are now blocking ai crawlers, and it’s not just openai's bots that are receiving the cold shouler.

cloudflare’s new data shows gptbot, ccbot, and google-extended lead the pack of most-disallowed ai agents.
