I stare at data and I wish I could stop. Staring at SERPs since 1996-ish. Old enough to remember how it began, too old to care how it ends.

I think way too often about that software engineer who said that Google LaMDA was sentient
An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

In a sea of distraction it’s good to see how searchers gravitate to my well contrusted text Ads. 80% CTR is exceptional but around 10% is normal. Maybe searchers are tired of the distractions and text Ads are seen as more attractive because our B2B searchers want websites.

From my journal: Yesterday on Google Ads got 6 clicks for xxxx xxx CPC 1.70 and CTR 35% This phenomenal CTR is a result of matching the heading to the search term in an ocean of less relevant distractions which I guess searchers hate. #ppc

To hide or not to hide? Gemini says hide rich editorial content. Not sure I agree with that one. This comes after I suggested our visitors are only interested in navigating away from the category page to the product page. Maybe Gemini is trying to satisfy my opinion.
