Download Perplexity Comet: AI-native Browser; Web Adoption and Security Talk with Favour Obasi-Ike | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.Perplexity AI's free "Comet" web browser, which occurred this past Thursday. We expressed excitement over this development, highlighting Comet's functionality as an AI-powered browser that can import Google Chrome extensions and act as a personal assistant, shopping, and email agent. The conversation extensively examines the implications of Comet's introduction on the browser market share, particularly in relation to the dominance of Google Chrome, and explores how this new tool affects Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies and content visibility for businesses. Finally, a significant portion of the discussion addresses crucial concerns regarding user privacy and data security when utilizing these advanced AI tools, emphasizing the need for caution and strategic use.Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services? Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> Need more information? Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.>> Visit our Official website for the best digital marketing, SEO, and AI strategies today!FAQs about this episode1. What is the Perplexity AI Comet Browser?Comet is an AI web browser released by Perplexity AI. Comet essentially integrates Perplexity AI capabilities into a browser format. The concept involves having an AI web browser, similar to using Google Chrome but with AI integration.2. When was the Comet browser released, and to whom?The free Comet browser was recently made available to everyone worldwide. It was announced on a Thursday. However, Comet was initially released to people who had Perplexity Max in July. This three-month period (July to October) allowed Perplexity to keep it exclusive within their beta program or exclusive community before releasing it universally.3. How can I download the Comet browser, and what platforms is it available on?You can download the Comet browser by visiting perplexity.ai/comment. It is available for both Mac and Windows.4. What are the key features and capabilities of the Comet browser?The Comet browser offers several features that distinguish it from traditional browsers:• Extension Import: You can import your Google Chrome extensions into the Comet AI browser.• Agentic Capabilities: It is described as a personal assistant that helps with many things. It can: ◦ Autonomously control browser actions, such as closing tabs and opening pages. ◦ Fill out forms. ◦ Control Google Drive. ◦ Shop for you. ◦ Send out emails, leveraging a feature called "background assistant".• Current Focus: It is currently heavily focused on the web, though a mobile app is anticipated, similar to the existing Google Chrome app and Perplexity app.5. Why did Perplexity AI release the Comet browser?Perplexity is doing this to gain market share and compete with major rivals, particularly Google. The current browser market is heavily dominated by Google Chrome, which holds about 72% of the market share (specifically cited as 71.77% to 71.86% recently).6. How is Perplexity AI related to Microsoft and other platforms?Perplexity is closely associated with Microsoft and Bing. The platforms are interconnected, as LinkedIn is also owned by Microsoft. It is noted that Microsoft is also involved with Copilot and is "somewhere in the mix" of OpenAI/ChatGPT content, further connecting it to Comet.7. What are the major concerns regarding security and privacy with agentic AI browsers?The primary concerns revolve around security, privacy, and user adoption. Since the Comet browser can autonomously control browser actions, access Google Drive, and fill out forms, there are questions about how much security is provided.• Data Compromise: One critical concern is that if a company's chosen AI platform (like Comet) lacks necessary security measures, a client could be exposed to a hack, potentially compromising years of hard work.• Lack of Regulation: There is a belief that there is not enough regulation surrounding privacy in the AI space, often favoring convenience and productivity over individual privacy.8. How will AI search browsers impact SEO and business visibility?AI search models are changing how businesses achieve visibility:• Beyond Top 10: AI models are no longer just scanning the top 10 search pages; they are scanning anywhere between 10 to 40 links or sources. Businesses should aim to be in this "Top 40 listing".• Platform Diversity: Visibility is achieved when a brand is interconnected across various platforms, including LinkedIn, YouTube, Google, Pinterest, the website, blogs, videos, audios, and podcasts.• LinkedIn Importance: If Perplexity uses LinkedIn as one of its information sources, having a complete and active LinkedIn profile is significant for search results.• Contextual Content: Content needs to be contextually relevant, moving beyond just typing basic search phrases like "best restaurant near me".• SEO Relevance: SEO remains important; even if AI models like ChatGPT handle e-commerce orders, they are still pulling information from sources with high domain authority, which is based on SEO principles.9. What are the best practices for leveraging AI tools like Comet?Users should adopt a strategic approach when using these new AI tools:• Strategy and Learning: Use AI to strategize, discover different angles, and find solutions to problems you haven't considered. Ask AI how to improve upon an idea or find what is missing from your strategy.• Strategy vs. Dependence: Use AI as a tool to improve yourself and learn, but do not depend on it.• Privacy Protection: Exercise caution regarding privacy. Do not give out personal identifying information (PII) such as your specific address, phone number, or names of family members. Ask general questions instead of highly specific personal ones.• Prompt Awareness: Be aware that all prompts written into ChatGPT are typically indexed into Google unless you change your settings.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Need SEO Services?

Can high-precision radiation change how we treat metastatic prostate cancer? In this episode, I'm joined by Ronald C. Chen, MD, MPH—radiation oncologist, national guideline author (AUA/ASCO), and clinical-trial leader with 170+ publications—to unpack stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for disease that has spread to lymph nodes, bones, and beyond. We get practical about who benefits, where SBRT shines, and how to balance treatment intensity with quality of life.SBRT offers highly focused, short-course radiation that can control limited (“oligo-”) metastatic prostate cancer and delay systemic therapy for many men. Dr. Chen explains when to treat individual nodes/bone lesions versus comprehensive nodal fields, how anatomy determines dose/fraction choices (often 3–5 treatments), and why modern SBRT sometimes reduces the need for concurrent hormone therapy. We cover salvage options after prior radiation (brachytherapy seeds, HIFU, cryo, repeat SBRT, or salvage prostatectomy), the role and limits of PSMA PET, fracture risk and bone health (DEXA), and the evolving data—including the large NRG-GU013 trial—for higher-risk disease. Throughout, we emphasize shared decision-making, realistic expectations, and considering clinical trials when data are evolving.00:00 – Can SBRT change metastatic prostate cancer care? Meet Dr. Ron Chen.01:00 – Disclaimer: Views are Dr. Geo's and guests'—independent of NYU Langone.07:00 – Recurrence scenarios: prostate-only, nodal, or bone/other; why catching early matters.12:00 – Five salvage options after prostate radiation: seeds (brachytherapy), HIFU, cryo, SBRT (focal or whole-gland), or salvage prostatectomy.19:00 – Nodal relapse: treat all pelvic nodes + ADT ± abiraterone vs. SBRT to a few nodes only—how patient priorities drive the plan.26:30 – Oligometastasis: SBRT alone can control disease for many men ~2+ years on average, delaying hormones.30:00 – Fractions: why 3–5 treatments is typical and how adjacent bowel/organ anatomy sets the pace.31:00 – SBRT in 2 fractions for select primary cases looks promising; high-risk SBRT under study (NRG-GU013).37:00 – Bone mets: SBRT preferred; understanding fracture risk (tumor size, dose, shrinkage).40:00 – DEXA before ADT; spine SBRT can spare the spinal cord with modern planning.48:00 – Clavicle/hilar nodes: SBRT near lung/heart/esophagus—safe with careful dose constraints.56:00 – Why clinical trials matter for “how long on hormones?” and other open questions.57:00 – Soft-tissue mets (liver/brain): SBRT can help, often alongside systemic therapy.59:00 – Parting advice: early detection, close follow-up, and hopeful trajectory of care.___________________________________

AI SEO: What's the Best Way to Structure Internal Links? Email Marketing Bonus with Favour Obasi-Ike | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.This episode unveils an extensive discussion about the optimal methods for structuring internal links within your website to improve search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience. I explain that internal links should be contextually relevant, often using the analogy of a "sandwich" where the highlighted text (anchor text) aligns directly with the content of the linked URL. The conversation emphasizes that effective internal linking creates a "spiderweb" structure, connecting old and new content to enhance readability and discoverability by algorithms like Google. Finally, I discuss related digital marketing topics, including the benefits of leveraging email marketing platforms like Flodesk for cost efficiency and high deliverability, linking this back to the importance of a strong online structure.Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.>> Visit our Official website for the best digital marketing, SEO, and AI strategies today!10 Answer Keys for this episode1. An internal link is a word, phrase, or sentence that is highlighted to become a hyperlink. This link connects the current page to another relevant page or resource that exists within the same website domain.2. The "sandwich" effect occurs when the highlighted text (anchor text) uses the same words or phrase as the keywords found in the destination page's URL. This creates a strong contextual connection that is easily understood by both human users and search engine algorithms, improving the chances of the page ranking for those terms.3. Linking new and old pages creates a "bridge" or a "spiderweb" structure across a website. This practice helps search engines and users discover all related content, regardless of its publication date, ensuring that value is passed between pages and creating more pathways for visitors to find relevant information.4. Linking directly to a checkout page is a strategy to reduce friction and save the customer time, potentially leading to higher conversions, especially if the customer has already seen the product and has all the necessary information. Linking to a product page allows the customer to read more details and make a decision, but it introduces an extra step and risks them getting distracted by other items.5. "Structural marketing" is a concept where marketing efforts are built with discipline, rules, and a foundation, much like a physical structure. The website serves as the foundation, and its pages, connected by internal links, must be active and structured logically to support marketing goals.6. A website's search bar functions like Google's own search. When a user searches for a specific term like "candy" or "flowers," the website pulls results from its own internal index or inventory. If the website's content (the resource) is not properly structured and indexed, the search function (the source) is useless, like a well with no water.7. Local businesses should highlight the text of the city or state they want to be found in and link it to a relevant page. This is a form of on-page SEO that sends a signal to algorithms that the business serves that specific location, which can have a large long-term impact on local search visibility.8. HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP. Using an HTTPS link for hyperlinking ensures a clean, direct, and secure pathway for the user and search engine crawlers. Using an HTTPlink can result in a different, less secure experience that might cause the link to bounce back or redirect unnecessarily.9. A "do follow" link signals to search engines that you endorse the destination page and are attributing value or "link juice" to it. A "no follow" link tells search engines that you are citing or suggesting the link but are not endorsing it, so no domain authority or ranking signal is passed.10. When you update and republish one page that is internally linked to many other pages (e.g., 10 or 20), it sends a new signal to search engine algorithms for all connected pages. This one update effectively "republishes" all the linked pages in the eyes of the algorithm, signaling fresh activity across a wide swath of the website without having to manually update each page.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Need SEO Services?

What happens when the communications function stops being about messaging and starts being about business transformation? When your stakeholders include 10,000 employees, 94,000 students, 350,000 alumni, plus investors, policymakers, and healthcare partners? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle reconnects with Megan Noel, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Adtalem Global Education, to explore why the CCAO role is a fundamental reimagining of what communications does. Megan leads government relations, investor relations, public affairs, impact and sustainability, and alumni relations under one reputation-focused banner. From managing the fallout of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" over July 4th weekend to navigating AI search optimization and Wikipedia's importance in reputation management, Megan and Dan dig into the practical realities of corporate affairs at scale. They explore how business acumen has become a hard skill, why curiosity beats credentials, and how communicators can avoid becoming "negative Nancy" while still providing strategic counsel. Listen in and hear about... Why corporate affairs unifies storytelling across all stakeholder groups under a reputation banner How business acumen requires being "dangerous enough" in finance, law, and HR without becoming an expert The surprising importance of Wikipedia and specific media outlets in AI search and GEO optimization Why saying "yes, how" beats saying "no, but" when working with business leaders How curiosity and innovation mindset separate entry-level candidates who get jobs from those who don't The challenge of maintaining unbiased reputation when AI search platforms pull from potentially compromised sources Notable Quotes On Corporate Affairs Evolution: "The corporate affairs model is just the next step in that evolution. We used to just communicate what the business wanted. Now we're more than just a channel strategy to push things to different audiences." - Megan Noel [07:30] On Business Acumen: "I certainly don't need to be as sophisticated in our numbers as our CFO. But I need to be dangerous enough in all of them to be able to sit down at a very senior level and have a thoughtful conversation." - Megan Noel [20:29] On Strategic Counsel: "Instead of saying no, but—offer alternatives or other options so that we could potentially get to yes. When you do have to say the no, it feels like you're using that really thoughtfully and people will take you seriously." - Megan Noel [23:39] On AI Search Reality: "There is a perception that whatever question you ask AI is unbiased, when in fact it's pulling information through just a different algorithm. It could be just as biased with other bad data." - Megan Noel [46:56] On Innovation Mindset: "The hiring manager said it was because she showed an appetite to push and to learn and to innovate. That skill, even at the very entry level, matters." - Megan Noel [59:35] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Megan Noel Adtalem Global Education | Website Megan Noel | LinkedIn Timestamps 0:00 Intro: Change in PR and marketing 5:47 Evolution of Chief Corporate Affairs Officer role 13:06 Reputation as unifying banner for corporate affairs 19:40 Importance of business acumen for leaders 24:39 Communications as a critical business skill 27:46 Relationship between corporate affairs and marketing 31:28 Fostering disagreement and diverse perspectives 35:41 Impact of AI on search and reputation management 41:24 Proactively managing reputation in AI era 49:28 Balancing content creation and stakeholder engagement 53:43 Innovation as key leadership trait 57:41 Cultivating curiosity and innovation across teams 1:03:31 Closing remarks and contact information (Notes co-created by Human Dan, Claude, and Flowsend.ai ) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Joshua Davidson, CEO and founder of Chop Dawg.Growing up just outside of Atlantic City during the Great Recession, Josh saw firsthand how fragile traditional industries could be. Watching friends' families lose homes and his father work multiple jobs gave him a survival instinct and a drive to create opportunities for himself. By the time he was a teenager, Josh was building websites door-to-door and helping small businesses grow, even in the middle of an economic downturn.

In Part 3 of The Algorithmic Trinity, Daniel Ramsey (MyOutDesk) and Jason Barnard (Kalicube) unpack why Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is already outdated — and why the future is AI Assistive Engine Optimization (AAEO).
"ChatGPT is not that sophisticated yet. So for marketers, what that means is there are real ways right now for arbitrage in this short period of time before ChatGPT gets good enough to say, no, we're only showing the proper result."Mac King from Domaine breaks down why merchants are seeing ChatGPT and Perplexity show up as referral sources in their analytics—and what to do about it. We talked about the terminology wars (GEO vs AEO vs AI search optimization), why AI engines favor content from Google's 10th page, and the Reddit strategies that actually work without getting banned.SPONSORSSwym - Wishlists, Back in Stock alerts, & moregetswym.com/kurtCleverific - Smart order editing for Shopifycleverific.comZipify - Build high-converting sales funnelszipify.com/KURTLINKSDomaine AI Commerce Suite: https://www.meetdomaine.com/insights/domaine-news/domaine-launches-ai-commerce-suiteMac King on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mackenziepking/Mac King on Twitter: https://x.com/MacKing/Profound (tracking tool): https://www.tryprofound.com/Shopify Knowledge Base app: https://apps.shopify.com/shopify-knowledge-baseSEOFOMO newsletter: https://seofomo.co/Commerce GPT newsletter: https://www.yotpo.com/commerce-gpt/WORK WITH KURTApply for Shopify Helpethercycle.com/applySee Our Resultsethercycle.com/workFree Newsletterkurtelster.comThe Unofficial Shopify Podcast is hosted by Kurt Elster and explores the stories behind successful Shopify stores.

Structure sends signals. In an AI-driven attention economy, how a company organizes its communications function can sharpen its corporate narrative or splinter it - and this has big implications for trust both inside and outside an organization's walls.Anne Green sits down with seasoned communications leader Chrissy Jones to unpack centralized and decentralized models, the real risk of fragmentation in a volatile reputation environment, and how a focus on communications structure and governance can help protect reputation in complex and regulated spaces.

Tiziano Fratus"L'affaire Simenon"Solferino Libriwww.solferinolibri.itQuello di Georges Simenon è un caso editoriale eccezionale: un successo mondiale che dura da quasi un secolo, anzitutto grazie alla serie del commissario Maigret.Tiziano Fratus, che di Simenon è esperto e appassionato lettore, ci accompagna in un viaggio nella sua vita e nei segreti della sua opera sterminata per conoscerlo meglio e orientarsi nella selva dei suoi scritti. Un'immersione nella voracità esistenziale di uno dei più prolifici autori del XX secolo quanto nella vasta “commedia umana” che ha imbastito, così ricca di volti, storie, ambientazioni, crimini e omicidi. Da Il porto delle nebbie a Il caso Saint-Fiacre, da Il testamento Donadieu a Pedigree, questo libro è un'indagine sui personaggi cui lo scrittore belga ha dato vita, sui luoghi (non solo del delitto e non solo francesi), sugli argomenti affrontati. Quali sono i temi ricorrenti e quelli isolati? Come evitare di incorrere nella medesima raccolta di racconti o nel medesimo romanzo ma con titoli diversi?L'Affaire Simenon è un vero e proprio vademecum letterario che, dietro la lente del commissario più famoso di Parigi, permetterà al lettore di guardare il mondo con occhi nuovi, curarsi con la letteratura e, perché no, vivere meglio.Tiziano Fratus è nato a Bergamo nel 1975 ed è cresciuto tra Lombardia e Piemonte. In oltre vent'anni, ha pubblicato un vasto “silvario” di opere quali Manuale del perfetto cercatore d'alberi (Feltrinelli 2013), Ogni albero è un poeta (Mondadori 2015), L'Italia è un bosco (Laterza 2014), Il bosco è un mondo (Einaudi 2018), I giganti silenziosi (Bompiani 2017), Sogni di un disegnatore di fiori di ciliegio (Aboca 2020), Alberi millenari d'Italia (Gribaudo 2021), Giona delle sequoie (Bompiani 2019), Alberodonti d'Italia (Gribaudo 2024), Sutra degli alberi (Piano B 2022) e Una foresta ricamata (Mimesis 2025).

Akiba Leisman, President and CEO of Mako Mining (TSX.V:MKO – OTCQX:MAKOF), joins me to review the news release today, on September 30th, announcing that the Company has entered into of a binding term sheet with Sailfish Royalty Corp. to acquire the Mt. Hamilton Gold-Silver Project located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA, through the acquisition of 100% of Mt. Hamilton LLC, the direct owner of the Mt. Hamilton Project, through a series of transactions. Sailfish will acquire MH LLC on an arm's length basis from Mt. Hamilton Holdings LLC, and subsequently transfer the interests to Mako in consideration for a corporate gold stream, and a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on the Mt. Hamilton Project from Mako. Neither Mako nor Sailfish will issue any equity to complete these transactions. The Mt. Hamilton Project has all major state and federal permits to allow construction of an open pit, heap leach gold-silver project, and has a current mineral resource estimate with an effective date of September 23, 2025 (the "Mt. Hamilton MRE") that was prepared by James N. Gray, P.Geo., of Advantage Geoservices Ltd., out of Vancouver, British Columbia. Additionally, we discussed the 2nd layer of mineralization and value proposition of the Mt Hamilton Project, because it also hosts a tungsten/copper/molybdenum target, located below and independent of the gold and silver Mt. Hamilton MRE. This tungsten target has been defined by over 100,000 ft of historical exploration drilling. In a report by the Department of the Interior, dated August 25, 2025, tungsten (W) was named as one of the top 10 critical metals listed by their estimated probability-weighted impact of supply disruptions on the U.S. economy. There is the potential to seek government funds allocated for the development of critical minerals for this portion of the deposit down the road as another potential opportunity. We also unpack the anticipated mining to begin in Q4 at the Moss Mine, and what to anticipate for the several months of ramp up of increased production. Additionally, we delve into the next key steps for permitting and development work at the Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana; set to be in construction in late 2026 and production by H2 of 2027. This is a longer-format interview where we get into many nuances of operations and coming catalysts in all 4 jurisdictions.

Web Optimization: Technical SEO and Content Marketing Best Practices with Favour Obasi-Ike | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.Focusing on web optimization, technical SEO, and content marketing, likened to building a durable house or maintaining a high-performance car. The discussion features several experts who explore strategies for increasing online visibility and revenue, emphasizing the critical role of a strong website foundation, reliable hosting, and effective content creation, particularly through blogs and YouTube, to address customer questions. We also debate the impact of AI on search and the necessity of SEO versus relying on other traffic channels like TikTok, concluding that a unified, authoritative online presence is key to gaining trust and accelerating business growth.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services? Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call with Favour Obasi-Ike>> Need more information? Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.>> Visit our Official website for the best digital marketing, SEO, and AI strategies today!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------What marketing topics are central to this discussion? The core topics discussed are web optimization, technical SEO, and content marketing.Why are technical setup and content vital for a website? Technical and content aspects should work together to make your website an "optimized place" and an "optimized greenhouse" for your business online. When you combine technical elements and content, you create a much wider network and a more extensive resource.What does the term "optimization" imply? Optimization is equated with consistency. If a website is not being optimized consistently, it is metaphorically stuck, like a car not moving in a driveway.How should a business approach content creation to serve both people and algorithms? Website owners should write for people first, but they must also keep the search algorithm in mind. The goal is to create many pages that interlink, providing a journey from discovery to decision for the user, utilizing various formats like video, audio, infographics, FAQs, or glossaries.How does authorship relate to building credibility online? When content is created on your website, it should be attributed to an author page originating from the person writing the content. Including expert quotes within a blog that has your name attached builds credibility. Furthermore, having your name indexed by Google as a blog author via a profile link can put you ahead of the competition.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Technical SEO and Website FoundationWhat are the fundamental components necessary for a website? The process starts with your domain, followed by your hosting, and then your website. Key technical considerations include where you host the website, the CMS platform used, and how your DNS records are configured.Why is choosing a quality host important? You must have the correct hosting, meaning the host should not go down. Many cheap hosting services put literally thousands of websites on the same servers. It is better to pay more for a higher quality server.How can I monitor if my website is experiencing downtime? You can use free monitoring tools, such as Uptime Robot, which will monitor your website's uptime and send you an alert if the site goes offline.What is a major technical mistake regarding domain names? A "big one" is simply keeping track of your domain name. It is recommended to renew your domain name for a couple of years at a time, rather than just one year.What is the distinction between technical setup and content in an analogy? Technical SEO is like the exterior of a car—the battery, engine, oil, and fluids—determining speed and duration. Content marketing is the interior—the steering wheel, comfort, and aesthetics.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------AI, Schema, and Search StrategyWhat is the relationship between AI, search, and structured websites? The rise of AI suggests a thin line is developing between unstructured websites and structured websites. AI is actively affecting the way people search.What is schema, and how is it used on a website? Schema refers to structured data. When implementing schema on a web page, you should focus on elements like breadcrumbs, FAQs, and price/stock information, as these elements allow you to have a much higher signal. Structured data involves taking unstructured information (like a general blog post) and organizing it using visual elements, examples, statistics, and expert quotes.How can a business influence LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT? AI platforms (LLMs) seek to grab information. The "secret key" is to release news about your business through press releases. This process helps your information get into Google News, which the LLMs will then pick up.In terms of building authority, what should a business prioritize? The priority is to first be known, as you cannot be trusted if you are not known. Putting out content on how you solve problems is essential for gaining recognition.What specific content strategy is recommended for building authority (e.g., for an auto dealership)? A good strategy is to find long-tail keywords, particularly questions, using tools like ChatGPT or the "People Also Ask" section on Google results. Then, create content answering those questions, allocating one question per blog post. These articles should be at least 300 to 500 words long. To enhance this content, you can create and embed a related YouTube video on that specific blog page.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Content Distribution and Platform UseWhat platforms should be used to support a website's foundation? In addition to a strong website, you should have supporting foundations such as YouTube, social media, or news outlets. The game is distribution; the more you can distribute your content, the more you can increase your capacity.If a client is highly successful using a non-search channel (like TikTok), is SEO necessary? If a client has an amazing traffic funnel on a channel like TikTok or YouTube, they do not necessarily need SEO; they should focus on doing more of what is already working. However, if the market relies more on search, setting up a broad SEO net is highly recommended.What is the key difference in content interaction between Pinterest and Instagram? On Instagram, you can save a post, but you cannot click on the image to go to a destination link outside of the platform (unless you use the link in the bio). On Pinterest, you can click on an image, and it will take you to a destination link, providing a "soft backlink".What unique data intelligence does Pinterest provide to business owners? While Instagram saves are private, a business owner with a Pinterest business account can see the names of the boards that users saved their pins to (if the boards are public). This information tells the business owner what context the user assigned to the content (e.g., "mentorship," "food"). This data intelligence allows the business to create more relevant content.What category of platform is Pinterest considered? Pinterest is viewed as a hybrid of both search and social. People use Pinterest to plan.Why is it important to consider factors like font size in web content? When optimizing content, size matters. A font size of 20 pixels will likely be read faster than a font size of 12 pixels, as people often skim or scan content rather than reading every detail. Similarly, small text in emails can be ignored because people do not want to squint.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Glossary Term & DefinitionAuthorshipThe practice of associating content with a specific person or brand name. This builds credibility and helps Google and other search algorithms recognize the entity as an expert, which can improve search rankings.CMS (Content Management System)The software platform used to build and manage a website's content. The choice of CMS is a foundational technical decision that impacts how a site is built and maintained.Content MarketingThe strategic practice of creating and distributing various forms of media (text, audio, video, images) to attract and engage a target audience. In the session's car analogy, it represents the "interior" of the car—the user's experience.DeepseekAn AI search tool mentioned as an alternative to ChatGPT. It was noted for providing more detailed, contextual answers compared to just a list of questions, suggesting it performs a deeper data crawl.LLMs (Large Language Models)The AI systems, like ChatGPT, that power modern search and chat platforms. These models crawl the web for information, and the discussion focuses on how to get a website's content indexed and recommended by them.llms.txtA file, similar to robots.txt for search engines, that is intended to control how AI Large Language Models crawl and use a website's content.PinterestDescribed as a "hybrid of both search and social," this platform is highlighted as a powerful tool for web optimization. It functions like "Google Images," driving traffic through clickable pins and providing deep user insights through public board names.Press ReleaseA news announcement distributed to media outlets. It is presented as a key tactic to get a business featured in Google News, which helps it get noticed by LLMs and establishes the business as "known."SchemaA form of structured data markup added to a website's code. It helps search engines understand the content more deeply, enabling features like FAQs, price ranges, and breadcrumbs in search results, which is crucial for ranking in AI-driven search.Sigmoid CurveA concept mentioned by John to describe the adoption rate of new technology. It illustrates that different demographics (e.g., older vs. younger generations) are at different points on the curve in their adoption of tools like AI search.Technical SEOThe process of optimizing the technical aspects of a website to improve its performance and crawlability for search engines. In the session's car analogy, it represents the "exterior" and "under the hood" components like the engine and battery, which dictate speed and reliability.Uptime RobotA free online tool recommended for monitoring a website's availability. It alerts the owner if their website goes down, preventing loss of traffic and revenue from unnoticed outages.Web OptimizationA consistent, ongoing process of improving a brand's entire online presence, not just the main website. It involves technical SEO, content marketing, and leveraging surrounding platforms (like YouTube and Pinterest) to drive traffic and engagement.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Need SEO Services?

The central theme is a therapeutic and educational approach to skincare that extends beyond traditional spa facials.Faiza Tahir, an Esthetician with 13 years of experience, specializes in a holistic methodology, combining advanced in-office treatments with client education and at-home care. A core offering is the Face Reality "Acne Boot Camp," a 100-day program designed to clear acne through bi-weekly treatments and a dedicated product regimen.The spa's philosophy emphasizes treating the skin from both the inside and outside, using modern modalities like LED light therapy and providing clients with a deep understanding of product ingredients and proper skin maintenance. The overall client experience is designed to be efficient, with 50-minute sessions and no downtime, aiming to produce tangible results and a feeling of rejuvenation.Business and Contact InformationYou can connect with Somatic Massage Therapy and Spa through multiple channels for information or to book a free consultation.• Business Name: Somatic Massage Therapy and Spa• Location: 113 Jericho Turnpike, Floral Park, NY (on the border of western Queens and eastern Nassau County)• Website: somaticmassagepc.com• Phone (Call): 516-686-9557 ◦ Fisa's Direct Extension: 7• Phone (Text): 516-447-4373• Booking: Can be done online via somaticmassagepc.com/book-appointment or by calling in.• Remote Consultation: Prospective clients can text a picture of their skin concern for an initial assessment from Fisa.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Key Personnel and ExpertiseFaiza Tahir, Esthetician• Experience: 13 years in the aesthetics industry.• Education: Licensed through the New York Institute of Beauty (NYIB).• Certifications: Acne certified by Face Reality.• Dual Expertise: Holds experience working in both day spas and medical spas, giving her proficiency in both "relaxing facials" and "clinical graded facials."• Role: Serves as the Master Esthetician at Somatic Massage Therapy and Spa, performing all facials, peels, and skincare treatments. She is driven by a passion to "make a difference in the skins."Cameron Richards, Licensed Massage Therapist• Role: As a licensed massage therapist, Cameron highlights the critical need for skincare education, which he personally received from Faiza• Perspective: He emphasizes that the average consumer often lacks the knowledge to select appropriate skincare products, potentially causing more harm than good. He notes, "...if I don't know much imagine the average person out there who just walks into a Target Walgreens and just pick up anything off the shelf because they think it's going to work and they end up doing more harm."• Focus on Education: Cameron ensures that education is a key component of the client experience at the spa, particularly for men who may not be aware of proper skin cleansing and exfoliation techniques post-shaving.Core Skincare PhilosophyTherapeutic Treatments over Standard FacialsFaiza distinguishes the spa's services from conventional facials, framing them as targeted treatments.• Quote: "These are not only facials. These are therapeutical treatments we do. We do not use the word treatment at this spa, but these are the therapeutical... facial for them."• Day Spa vs. Med Spa: Fisa clarifies that while med spa products contain highly "active" ingredients used under a doctor's supervision, the spa's professional-grade products are highly effective and bring about significant changes in the skin.A Holistic "Inside and Out" ApproachThe treatment philosophy is comprehensive, addressing skin health from multiple angles.• External Healing: In-office treatments focus on healing the skin from the outside using professional products and modalities.• Internal Healing: Clients are provided with products, such as vitamins from the Face Reality line, to promote healing from within.• Hydration: The importance of hydration, both oral and topical, is stressed for all skin types, including acne-prone and mature skin.Specialized Acne Treatment Program: The Face Reality Boot CampA cornerstone of the spa's offerings is a structured, results-oriented program for acne clients.• Objective: To clear the client's skin within 100 days (approximately 3 months).• Process: 1. Free Consultation: The process begins with a skin analysis and a thorough review of the client's current home care products and their ingredients. 2. Bi-Weekly Treatments: Clients come in every two weeks for in-office procedures. 3. Dedicated Home Care: Clients are instructed to use Face Reality products at home, which Fisa describes as "amazing" and working "like a magic."• Results Timeline: Clients typically begin to see a noticeable difference in their skin after just three weeks of consistent in-office treatments and home care.The Client Journey and Treatment ExperienceConsultation and In-Office Procedure• Initial Step: The client journey starts with a free consultation to analyze the skin and educate the client about products that may be exacerbating their condition.• Treatment Duration: The in-office session is efficient, lasting approximately 50 minutes.• Treatment Steps: A standard session includes cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and calming the acne.• Client Feedback: Following a treatment, clients report a distinct sensation of freshness. Fisa notes, "Most of my client... they tell me... we are feeling that our skin is breathing now." This is attributed to clearing clogged pores, allowing oxygen to penetrate the skin.Post-Treatment and Downtime• No Downtime: Clients can immediately return to their daily activities.• Minor Side Effects: There may be slight edema (swelling) or redness for 20 minutes to one hour following extractions, but this subsides quickly.Available Technologies and Targeted ConcernsSomatic Massage Therapy and Spa is equipped with modern modalities to address a variety of skin concerns.Technology / Treatment PurposeSaluma LED Light TherapyUtilizes different light wavelengths to treat skin.

Addicted to the Mouse: Planning Disney World, Disneyland, and All Things Disney
On today's Disney Podcast, we are ranking our favorite 12 Lounges at Disney World. From the newest lounges – The Beak and Barrel and GEO-82 to old favorites we've been going to for years, we're talking through why all of these made our list of favorite lounges and tips for how to enjoy them on […] The post Ranking the Best 12 Lounges at Walt Disney World appeared first on Addicted to the Mouse.
The Cake Bake Shop and GEO-82 are two new dining experiences in the EPCOT Resort Area, both opening in 2025. The Cake Bake Shop is a family-owned small business run by Gwendolyn Rogers at Disney's BoardWalk, featuring breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner at the main restaurant and baked goods at the adjacent bakery. GEO-82 is the newest adult-exclusive lounge at EPCOT (all guests must be 21 or older to enter this venue) located in the Spaceship Earth pavilion, serving cocktails and small plates immersing guests in the flavors, views, and legacy that shape modern-day EPCOT. In this episode, I share my honest reviews of both The Cake Bake Shop and GEO-82 after my first time dining at each location in Walt Disney World.

Google Celebrates 27th Year Anniversary:
Is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) always necessary when prostate cancer patients undergo radiation? And if so, for how long—six months, a year, two years? In this insightful conversation, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Nima Aghdam, radiation oncologist at NY CyberKnife and NYU Langone, to explore the evolving role of ADT in prostate cancer treatment.Dr. Aghdam shares his expertise on advanced radiation techniques like SBRT, personalized approaches to ADT duration, and the importance of lifestyle interventions. Together, they highlight how individualized care can improve survival, minimize side effects, and help men thrive beyond diagnosis.If you or a loved one are facing decisions about radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer, this episode offers clarity, evidence-based guidance, and hope.Radiation vs. Surgery: Both are highly effective; choice often comes down to quality-of-life goals and patient preference.Lymph Node Positive Disease: Options include focal SBRT or comprehensive external beam therapy; treatment decisions must balance efficacy and quality of life.Lifestyle's Role: Exercise and nutrition create a “hostile microenvironment” for cancer, improving both survival and side-effect management.Radiation Innovations: From rectal spacers to fewer treatment sessions (trials reducing SBRT from five to two fractions), techniques continue to evolve.ADT Considerations:Historically prescribed for up to 24–36 months with radiation.New genomic and AI-based classifiers may allow some men to stop ADT earlier (6–12 months).Balancing survival benefits with quality of life is critical.PSA Anxiety: PSA fluctuations don't always equate to recurrence or mortality. Context and long-term monitoring matter more than isolated numbers.Finding the Right Oncologist: Beyond equipment and technology, trust and honest communication with your doctor are essential.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Is ADT always necessary during radiation?05:00 – Radiation vs. surgery for localized and advanced prostate cancer.10:00 – Salvage options: what happens if radiation or surgery fails?13:00 – Treating prostate cancer with lymph node involvement.17:00 – Communicating metastasis risk and long-term outcomes to patients.18:30 – Lifestyle interventions as part of prostate cancer care.21:00 – Rectal spacers and preparation for SBRT.23:30 – Advances in SBRT: reducing from five fractions to two.25:30 – Understanding fractions, dosage, and radiation delivery.32:00 – Personalizing ADT: who benefits, and for how long?36:00 – Clinical trials on ADT duration (6, 12, 18, 24+ months).39:00 – Radiation's long-lasting effects and how ADT fits in.42:00 – PSA recurrence vs. actual risk of mortality45:00 – Patient anxiety and the psychological impact of PSA testing.47:00 – Exercise and lifestyle: evidence for improved survival.49:00 – Supplements, PSA manipulation, and misinformation.51:00 – How to choose a reputable radiation oncologist.56:00 – Evolving evidence: are radiation-related risks lower today?58:00 – Parting words: seeing prostate cancer as a chance for transformation.___________________________________

You've probably seen people on TikTok say GEO is the new SEO. But here's the problem… most of them are mixing up two completely different GEOs. One is Generative Engine Optimization, how AI engines like ChatGPT decide who to recommend. The other is geo-positioning, making sure your service and location actually show up together online. Both matter. And if you don't get this straight, you'll stay invisible in 2025. In this episode of Branding Momentum, I'm breaking down: The difference between GEO, AEO, and SEO (and why service pros can't ignore them) Why AI doesn't care about your Instagram if your service and city aren't paired clearly A simple real-world example of who AI chooses first… and who gets erased

Smallsats have defined the last decade of space, but their limitations are clear: low power, limited throughput, and fragile unit economics. K2 Space is betting on the opposite. The company is building mega class and giga class satellites, platforms measured in tons rather than kilograms, that deliver unprecedented power, capacity, and resilience. By vertically integrating 80 percent of their systems in house, K2 is cutting costs by an order of magnitude and making industrial scale spacecraft a reality.On this episode of Valley of Depth, we're joined by Neel Kunjur, cofounder and CTO of K2 Space. Neel traces the journey from early Slack messages about the promise of MEO to a 160 person team building the largest commercial satellites ever attempted. He shares how K2 has reimagined subsystems like reaction wheels, high voltage power, and 20 kW propulsion to unlock entirely new mission architectures in MEO, GEO, and beyond.

Technical SEO Study with Favour Obasi-Ike: Website Speed / Content Delivery Network (CDN) / Content Management System (CMS) = Why Is My Website Slow?| Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.Technical SEO is a major common issue for websites causing them to start loading slowly. We discuss that slow speeds are often caused by poor hosting platforms lacking sufficient bandwidth and uncompressed media, particularly images and videos.Crucially, we emphasize the importance of acquiring and maintaining intellectual property ownership, including the domain and C panel (Control Panel) access, to prevent developers from holding site information hostage.Additionally, the conversation highlights technical aspects like utilizing a Content Delivery Network (CDN), compressing files using tools like compressor.io, and employing proper image file types and alt text for improved search engine optimization.Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.>> Visit our Official website for the best digital marketing, SEO, and AI strategies today!Answer Key1. What is "Technical SEO"? Technical SEO, or "technical search engine (everywhere) optimization," refers to the technical methods used to ensure a brand or business shows up on web servers and desired websites, typically in the form of a link. It involves optimizing the underlying infrastructure of a website to improve its visibility and performance in search results.2. Identify and explain the two primary factors discussed that cause a website to load slowly. The two primary factors are the hosting platform and the presence of numerous uncompressed images. A poor hosting platform may have insufficient bandwidth or be an overloaded shared server, while large, uncompressed image files significantly increase the amount of data a user must download, slowing the entire loading process.3. What is a "high bounce rate," and how does it relate to a website's performance? A high bounce rate occurs when a visitor comes to a website and leaves quickly without interacting further. This is often caused by slow loading times, as users lack the patience to wait for content; another website might provide the same information three seconds faster, which is enough to make a user leave.4. Define what a Content Delivery Network (CDN) is and name the two types of servers that comprise its network. A CDN, or Content Delivery Network, is a system that stands between a website's hosting (the origin) and the end-user. It caches and compresses website files, like images, across multiple geographic locations to deliver them to users more quickly. The two types of servers within a CDN are the origin server, where the website's original content is stored, and the edge server, which is geographically closer to the end-user and delivers the cached content.5. Why is it crucial for a business owner to have direct ownership of their website's hosting server? Direct ownership of the hosting server ensures control over one's intellectual property and prevents being held "hostage" by a developer. If a business is on someone else's overloaded shared server, performance issues on one site can affect all sites (a "domino effect"). Owning the server provides direct access to the control panel, backups, and the website's blueprint, which is vital for management and troubleshooting.6. Explain the role of "alt text" and how it contributes to a website's visibility and accessibility. Alt text, or alternative text, is a description added to an image's code. It provides context to search engines like Google and AI indexers, making the images searchable and improving the site's overall SEO. Furthermore, alt text is critical for accessibility, as it allows screen reading software to describe the image to visually impaired users.7. What is a "cPanel," and what critical functions can be performed by accessing it? "cPanel" stands for Control Panel. It is the administrative dashboard for a website's hosting server. Accessing the cPanel is critical because it allows a user to get backup data, access the actual blueprint of the website, and see technical details like the file sizes of stored images.8. Describe the significant negative impact that uncompressed images can have on a website, using the specific numerical example from the discussion. Uncompressed images drastically increase a website's loading time because of their large file size. The example given was an online store with 50 products, each with two image variations. If each uncompressed image is 5 megabytes, the total data added to the site's front-loading speed would be 500 megabytes, whereas compressing those same images could reduce the total size to just 50 megabytes (10% of the original) without losing quality.9. What are the two recommended methods for incorporating video content on a website without negatively affecting its load speed? We strongly advises against directly uploading video files (e.g., MP4s). Instead, the two recommended methods are: 1) converting the video into a GIF and uploading the much smaller GIF file, or 2) embedding the video from a third-party platform like YouTube, which ensures the video is streamed from YouTube's servers and not the website's own server.10. Name at least three free tools mentioned that can be used to analyze a website's performance and health. Three of these are GTmetrix, Google Page Speed Insights, and Siteliner. Other mentioned tools include Compressor.io and iLoveIMG.com for image compression and iLovePDF.com for documents.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Need SEO Services?

What if everything you know about SEO is becoming obsolete? Dale Bertrand, founder of Fire and Spark, brings a refreshingly technical yet human-centered perspective to digital growth strategy—a perspective forged through his journey from building government supercomputers to revolutionizing how businesses approach organic traffic."Rankings and traffic that don't convert are worthless," Dale asserts, challenging the vanity metrics that have dominated digital marketing for years. His "SEO for Revenue" methodology cuts through the clutter, focusing on customer acquisition rather than keyword rankings. This approach has yielded remarkable results, including helping GrabCAD achieve 30x growth in organic traffic that ultimately led to a successful acquisition.As artificial intelligence reshapes search, Dale identifies three critical shifts: the tools marketers use, the algorithms powering results, and how customers seek information. This trifecta demands new strategies where content must be "semantically dense" and "snackable" for AI training. The counterintuitive outcome? Less traffic but more revenue—a concept many marketers struggle to embrace.Perhaps most surprising is Dale's deceptively simple advice for understanding customer behavior: just ask them. "We've gotten used to hiding behind analytics," he notes, advocating instead for direct conversations that yield insights no dashboard can provide. This human connection extends to his recommendations for product selection, where he encourages entrepreneurs to find the sweet spot between passion for a customer community, viable sales channels, and healthy unit economics.For those building online businesses in 2023 and beyond, Dale offers a roadmap for navigating the transition from traditional SEO to what he calls "Generative Engine Optimization" (GEO). Early adopters who master these dynamics stand to benefit significantly, just as early SEO practitioners did years ago.Connect with Dale at fireandspark.com or reach him directly at dale@fireandspark.com to learn how your business can thrive in the age of AI-powered search.Ready to scale your Amazon business?
