Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Right now, ChatGPT says google "ai mediated" is at about 40%. Post xmas I think it will have flipped the other way and closer to the 70% range. 100

Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Not sure why you can't get a page to be seen by ChatGPT - maybe you have a block on it in robots? ChatGPT will dl any page on the net instantly when you ask for it in search. I made a page 2secs ago and there it is. There simply is no evidence that OpenAI is using anything but CommonCrawl db. 020

Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 20/07/2025“SEO is dead” has become a strawman argument being used to dunk on ghosts. The real question is whether search itself is mutating past the metrics we’ve relied on. I'm thinking: not a reboot - just a reset. Remember: The secret to happiness is lowered expectations (eg: traffic expectations) 040
Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 12/07/2025General tech reporters just don't understand that open source Chromium project is run by Googlers - And that any derivative - including Microsoft Edge, Perplexity, Brave, Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo, Opera, Arc, and even Yandex are based on that code. 010

Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I wonder if @unmarketing.bsky.social could push the rock up the hill again? That would be something to see him go "all in" on Bsky the way he did back-in-the-day with the tweet-tweet and all. 100

Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 07/07/2025If they "run to publish" keyword generated slop at scale, then they have earned their results the old fashioned way ;-) lol However, if you are using AI to generate quality ideas, direction, summaries, and occasional core content - have at it without fear! 010

Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 29/05/2025The thing we got wrong about Code Red Dec 2022? G may have been napping, but that shock turned into euphoria as they realized that they had legit excuse to "Take Everything". Many have mistaken the last 30mons as just "catch up" but it really was "STFU: Watch this, and stay in your lane internet". 000

Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Google AI hoovering up the clicks, reminds me of Ross Perot. But that's the problem with getting older - few will know your cultural references from the 90's. 000
Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Best I can figure QStar *is* the EEAT metric of page quality. 030
Brett Tabke @btabke.bsky.social · 12/05/2025This part is the most interesting thing for me. Q* just isn't detailed anywhere and it sure seems to be a mega-metric like pagerank almost 020
