From algorithmic pricing to supply-chain malware to government scanning to cloud-AI assistants — and the hopeful counter-move, taking your data back. The episode theme is curiosity: in every story, one extra question would have changed the outcome.Segment 1 — Surveillance PricingInspired by More Perfect Union, "We Found the Radical Solution to Surveillance Pricing"Surveillance pricing (a.k.a. personalized / surveillance-based pricing) = charging you an individual price based on sensitive data about you — purchase history, browsing, geolocation, social activity, even biometric and financial signals. The economic endgame is "perfect price discrimination": charging each person their exact maximum.DoorDash holds a patent describing promotions based on a user's stress level.Delta Air Lines (with AI firm Fetcherr) has talked about expanding generative-AI pricing to ~20% of domestic fares, with ambitions to go further. Senators (Gallego, Blumenthal, Warner) and House members demanded answers.A Groundwork Collaborative / Consumer Reports / More Perfect Union study found different shoppers charged different prices for identical Instacart items. Former FTC chair Lina Khan has voiced concern.The "radical" fix is a law: New York's proposed One Fair Price Act would ban surveillance pricing outright — one posted price for everyone.Defensive moves (partial): private/container browsing, block cookies, disable ad personalization, use a VPN, compare logged-out vs. logged-in prices. Honest caveat: this is a structural problem — regulation, not browser tricks, is the real fix.Curious question: Is this price the market — or is it me being read?Segment 2 — "Arch malware btw": the AUR supply-chain attackInspired by Michael Tunnell and Switched to Linux — developing story, June 2026.The Arch User Repository (AUR) is community-maintained, unvetted package build scripts (PKGBUILDs). In a ~24-hour window, a coordinated attack poisoned a large number of packages — reports cite 1,500+ touched, with community trackers confirming ~400–500 malicious package names and rising.How: Attackers adopted orphaned packages (abandoned by maintainers — anyone can claim them) and edited the PKGBUILD to add a pre/post-install hook that pulls a malicious npm package, atomic-lockfile (Sonatype tracked one strand as the "Atomic Arch" campaign).Payload: A Linux infostealer + optional root-only eBPF rootkit. Targets developer secrets — browser creds/cookies, SSH keys, GitHub creds, Vault/npm tokens, Docker/Podman, VPN configs, shell history, Slack/Teams/Discord/Telegram, crypto wallets. eBPF lets it run in-kernel and hide processes/files/connections.If you were hit and the rootkit deployed: rotate every credential (from a clean machine) and reinstall from scratch. A normal uninstall is not enough.Status: Maintainers are removing malicious commits and banning accounts; the official repos of Arch-based distros (CachyOS, Garuda, Chaotic-AUR) were not infected — only users who installed/upgraded a compromised AUR package during the window. Community checker script + affected-package list were published within hours.Action checklist (Arch users):pacman -Qm → list your foreign (AUR) packages.Compare against the community list / run the checker script (CachyOS advisory).If matched → rotate credentials from a clean machine, then clean-reinstall.Curious habit: Before installing, ask who maintains this, when did it last legitimately update, and did ownership recently change? On the AUR, read the PKGBUILD — the malicious line was visible to anyone who looked.Segment 3 — UK Device Scanning: 90 Days to ComplyInspired by "Signal's Warning: The UK's Phone Scanning Plan Just Got Real"The UK government signaled that phone makers (Apple, Google) will get ~90 days to start scanning photos on young people's devices for nude images. Running alongside: Online Safety Act powers for Ofcom aimed at encrypted messaging (key report expected ~April). The mechanism: client-side scanning — every message/image checked on your device, before encryption.Why it matters: Client-side scanning doesn't break encryption directly — it inspects content before the lock clicks shut. The "end-to-end encrypted" label survives, but the privacy guarantee (nobody is looking) is gone.Signal's position: scanning won't protect children and builds surveillance infrastructure that "endangers us all."Security: once scanning exists on every device, the match-database can be expanded — swap it and you're scanning for slogans, documents, faces. Signal would withdraw from the UK rather than build a backdoor. Mullvad raised parallel alarms.Misdiagnosis: real child safety = better-funded education, social services, AI-platform guardrails — not default scanning. Rallying phrase: "Surveillance is not safety."Bigger picture: This is a template (cf. the EU's "Chat Control"). Sympathetic justification + a mechanism that, once built, can point anywhere.Curious question: Not is the goal good? (it usually is) but what else can this machine do once built, and who decides what it points at next?Segment 4 — iOS 27 at WWDC: the Privacy Fine PrintApple WWDC 2026 keynote coverage.Genuine wins: New Siri AI (next-gen Apple Intelligence) uses a tiered architecture — simple requests on-device, moderate ones via Private Cloud Compute (inspectable, hardened). Plus stronger family safety: child-account setup, parental controls, redesigned Screen Time, new Safari safeguards.The fine print (two concerns):Total context access. Siri AI indexes across your messages, emails, photos, and apps — a unified, queryable view of your whole digital life. Conversation history syncs via iCloud ("with privacy protections"), but strength depends on whether you've enabled Advanced Data Protection (Apple's E2EE for iCloud — not on by default).New Google dependency. Apple made official a Gemini partnership — the heaviest reasoning routes to Google Cloud. Apple says queries are anonymized and tokenized so neither Apple nor Google can link them to you (Federighi: "privacy in AI is non-negotiable"). Critics counter that PCC/anonymization is "only as private as the weakest link" — if Google retains any path to usage data for training/debugging, the guarantee weakens.Takeaway: Apple's defaults are still among the best of the mainstream — but don't let "privacy" in a keynote switch off your curiosity. On update: review Siri AI indexing settings, turn on Advanced Data Protection, and understand where your hardest queries travel.Curious question: A magical assistant that knows everything about you is, by definition, a system granted everything about you. Did you make that trade on purpose?Segment 5 — Self-Hosting 101: What to Migrate FirstOriginal recurring segment — Part 1 (scope). Part 2 next week: hands-on photos build.Self-hosting = run the services yourself, on hardware you own, instead of renting space on a company's servers. It's the deliberate counter-move to every other story this week. Honest caveat: you become your own IT department (backups, updates, downtime). Don't eat the elephant at once — scope first.The five candidates (ranked by impact-to-effort):Photos — highest emotional and surveillance value (faces, locations, timestamps). Self-host with Immich (Google-Photos-like: app, auto camera-roll backup, face/object search). Difficulty: moderate; biggest single win.Calendar — a forward-looking map of your life. CalDAV via Radicale or Nextcloud; syncs to your existing calendar app. Easy–moderate; great first project.Contacts — your social graph (everyone else's data too). CardDAV on the same Radicale/Nextcloud server — bundle it with calendar. Easy.File backups — documents and digital paperwork. Often Nextcloud.

AI is taking on a growing role in cybersecurity (whether we like it or not), from vulnerability discovery to faster exploit development. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jeff Gamet, and Marty Jencius look at both sides oof the issue and  push back on “Bugmageddon” hype. The discussion also covers X post limits, Microsoft Teams retiring the misguided Together Mode, safer login practices, AI-run radio chaos, Google's Apple-like naming choices, and free storage tied to phone numbers.  This edition of MacVoices is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

This week, we had both Google I/O and Google Marketing Live, so we have a lot of news. Google launched a new search box it is calling the intelligent search box. Google also launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, which is now powering...

A new Google Core update is rolling out, which means now is the perfect time to talk about what to do (and what NOT to do) when Google makes changes—whether they're big, small, or just plain annoying.In this episode of Everything SEO, McKayla breaks down what a core update actually is, why your search console might look a little wild right now, and how to navigate the volatility without spiraling. She's sharing her own experience of losing 90% of traffic on one of her sites (and waiting over a year for it to recover), plus what steps to take once the dust settles. Spoiler: panicking is not on the list.Questions answered in this episode:What is a Google Core update and how is it different from other updates?Why do rankings fluctuate so much during a core update rollout?What should you NOT do while a core update is happening?How long should you wait before making changes to your site?What steps should you take after the update finishes rolling out?Connect with Mckayla:Blog: www.thecommamamaco.com/blogInstagram: @‌commamama.coDon't forget to follow and subscribe to the show to be notified when new episodes are available!

How should PR pros react to Reddit's surge in popularity? PRWeek's latest podcast takes a look.Joining the latest episode of Beyond the Noise are Paige Hiley, director of social at Golin; and Jo Bromilow, director of social and influence at MSL.Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform.Speaking to PRWeek UK deputy news editor Evie Barrett, the guests discuss clients taking an interest in social media platform Reddit, and how its community focus requires an entirely different approach to other channels.Reddit's changing userbase, and its links to Google and OpenAI, are also discussed within the episode.Bromilow and Hiley give advice on communicating with Reddit moderators, as well as using the app as a social listening tool.The episode was recorded prior to the news of Reddit being fined £14m by the Information Commissioner's Office for failing to properly check the age of its users, as reported on Tuesday (24 February).Commenting after the announcement, Bromilow said: “Reddit's response – that it intends to appeal and that it feels like it treads a delicate balance between protecting users' privacy and policing its platform – is a consistent one with how it has always operated and helps reinforce some of the points we made about the platform self-policing and the moderators existing to protect the userbase.“There have been lots of headlines recently about various social networks from TikTok to Meta being hit with fines in this regard, so this isn't a Reddit-specific issue. I anticipate a lot of back and forth along these lines as the online safety act comes into effect, and the reality of enforcing it vs the PR power of talking about it.” Hosted on Acast.

In this Omni Talk Retail episode, recorded live from NRF 2026 in the Vusion Podcast studio, Angie Brown, Chief Information Officer at Home Depot, reveals how 27 years with one company positions her to witness retail's transformation from mobile to e-commerce to AI and why waiting on agentic commerce is not an option. From announcing an expanded Google partnership with Gemini rollout to piloting Magic Apron agents in physical stores, Angie breaks down how AI is solving problems Home Depot couldn't tackle before. She shares insights on accelerating software development cycles, why five-year plans no longer work, delivery routing intelligence that accounts for gates and narrow roads, and the strategic bet on learning agentic commerce across multiple partner platforms simultaneously. If you've wondered what purposeful AI deployment looks like at retail scale, this is your roadmap from one of home improvement's top technology leaders.

They start with the tricky world of AI governance in education, where Ray explains how schools and universities can simplify their policies instead of writing 26 new ones. The conversation then turns to a Washington Post piece on the rise of new AI-driven jobs - from conversation designers to human-AI collaboration leads - and what this means for the future of work and capability-building. They also unpack new insights from cechat about how teachers are creating and using AI agents, explore Microsoft's AI Diffusion report, and look at La Trobe University's staff chatbot, "Troby." They discuss Google's education research, Claude's pilot in Icelandic schools, and the latest update from OpenAI, before closing with a fascinating study on how students respond differently to teacher versus AI feedback. Listen in for practical insights, fresh data, and a few laughs along the way.   News   As AI reshapes the job market, here are 16 roles it has created - Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/10/29/ai-new-jobs/    CENet analyses teacher created AI agents https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cenet---catholic-education-network_aiwithheart-catholicschools-catholiceducation-activity-7393528419411668992-nQc1    Microsoft AI Diffusion research https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/group/aiei/ai-diffusion/    Mustafa Suleyman - Human super intelligence https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/microsoft-launches-superintelligence-team-targeting-medical-diagnosis-to-start/ar-AA1PWmIO    Microsoft will offer in-country data processing in Australia & UK for Microsoft 365 Copilot https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2025/11/04/microsoft-offers-in-country-data-processing-to-15-countries-to-strengthen-sovereign-controls-for-microsoft-365-copilot/    Case Study "La Trobe University supercharges academic productivity with AI and Copilot Studio" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/case-studies/latrobe-supercharges   New Google paper on AI and the future of learning https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/education/ai-and-learning/    Iceland goes Anthropic https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-and-iceland-announce-one-of-the-world-s-first-national-ai-education-pilots    Open AI - ChatGPT's new personalities https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/openai-says-the-brand-new-gpt-51-is-warmer-and-has-more-personality-options/ar-AA1QjoBA    Competitions for students to get involved in:   CSIRO want you to predict pasture biomass from images - global https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/csiro-biomass   United States Artificial Intelligence Institute Hackathon - US only https://www.usaii.org/ai-insights/usaii-kicks-off-the-ai-nextgen-challenge-2026-americas-largest-scholarship-program    How confidential is your chat with AI? https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/11/12/australia-national-security-chief-ai-speech-writing/    Research   Teacher, peer, or AI?

We look at the new the new Google Pixel Watch 4. See more about the details of the watch here. Here comes the new Google Pixel Watch 4, reviewed We aimed to give the Pixel Watch 4, from here on, pixel watch, a good and thorough testing. First up, in a no brainer, but still helpful way, it is straight forward to configure for lefthanded wear - kinda obvious perhaps, but still good for those 20% out there who are not part of the majority in terms of handedness. The look and feel are pretty good, it feels smooth, elegant, while also seemingly durable too. In the product specs it lists sustainability aspects in regards to the materials used. This is a good thing, perhaps to be expected, but you at least want to have clear information about it. 100% recycled aluminium is mentioned, but of course we have no way to verify that within the scope of a product review. The packaging also seems to follow this ethos and quickly went into the compost. We wondered about the strap. It does work, and yet, was hard to find a setting that was not too tight, nor, Goldilocks-like, too loose. You loop over and then tuck it under itself. This makes it secure, but not super comfortable. At looser settings it then slightly dangles and shifts, not ideal either. This is all the more relevant when, or rather perhaps, if you are also planning to sleep with it. We are not sure about you, but we generally take off our normal (and looking slightly hang-dog at the moment, while the new toy is in town) watch when we go to sleep. If you want to get all the sleep tracking and good stuff, then you will however need to keep this watch on of course. It does give interesting information, REM sleep, awake, light sleep, deep sleep. Rating your sleep out of a 100 is perhaps taking the gamification a little too far. How do I, can I, improve my sleep score when you might have a baby, toddler, or older child coming into your bed? That said, using it for any nights was interesting and informative. One colleague said that, by sleeping with a similar watch on, it spotted irregular heart activity, which prompted him to visit the hospital and he ended up spending a week there to recover. Therefore, there could be clear benefits to devices like this, give or take the degree of their physical impact. We spoke to one fitness enthusiast, and we are talking hardcore, they are planning to run the Marathon Des Sables (250kms in 6 days across the Sahara!…). Their wise words of advice were, what do you want to track, what do you really need to know, this will guide how good a fit or otherwise any smart watch will be for you. The Pixel Watch delivers well on a few key areas. It is relatively unobtrusive, it is not heavy or chunky to wear. It charges pretty darn fast, as some of our testers opined, the challenge with earlier watches was the amount of time needed, off-wrist to get it charged up again. You will get a rapid reboot of charging from the charger for this watch, enabling you to keep it on for the rest of the day to get all the valuable data. Which is of course another pro/con, in terms of how connected you want, need to be, and the trade off in term of your personal health data. What is it being used for, by whom, how often? You can dial down some of this, and, as always, it is a transactional trade off, where it delivers interesting information about ourselves, to ourselves! You get used to moving around the screen fairly quickly, and soon you start to work out what your most desired places to go are. It still does somethings that we are not completely sure why, and talking to you, while you are still running, and have not stopped the run tracking yet, is a bit irksome. Maybe it was noting two miles hit, but it seemed a bit arbitrary. With all these things, the more you use it, the more you will work out these minor things. There are good user guides as always too. So far it is fun, and also definitely habit nudging. This is the area where it has the greatest potential for g...

** Episode Sponsor: Google Trainer Academy: GoogleTrainerAcademy.com ** Over the past month I've been able to visit a half-dozen different schools across the US sharing tips and ideas for using AI in the classroom. While there are a LOT of AI tools available, there's one that I think is at the top of the list: Google Gemini. Gemini has become my go-to AI tool. It's fast, flexible, safe, and free! Using Gemini with your school account means you get advanced features AND data privacy that's not included with a lot of other applications (looking at you ChatGPT!). If you haven't used Gemini recently, take another look...there have been a LOT of update and several new features specifically designed for the classroom.

In this episode of the Your Digital Marketing Coach podcast, I'm diving into one of the biggest changes to how we show up in Google search results—the AI overview box. If you've noticed a drop in your traffic, you're not alone. These new AI summaries are changing how people click, what links they trust, and which brands get noticed. I went deep into the data—10 studies from the past year—to find the real patterns that help content get featured. From building stronger topic clusters to writing short, clear answers and updating your posts more often, I'll show you what works right now. This matters because showing up in these AI results can bring the most valuable visitors to your site—people ready to learn and take action.Links to Data Sources Usedhttps://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/google-ai-overviews-sge/https://www.conductor.com/academy/search-generative-experience/https://www.advancedwebranking.com/blog/how-to-takle-google-ai-overviews-search-generative-experiencehttps://www.resultfirst.com/blog/ai-seo/ai-overviews-explained-the-ultimate-guide-to-googles-search-generative-experience-sge/https://exposureninja.com/blog/how-to-rank-ai-overview/https://seowind.io/how-to-optimize-for-google-ai-overview/https://seranking.com/blog/how-to-optimize-for-ai-overviews/https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/143199/how-to-optimize-a-website-for-google-search-generative-experience-sgehttps://www.rocktherankings.com/how-to-rank-google-ai-overview/https://hawksem.com/blog/google-ai-overviews/Learn More: Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazon Buy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazon Join My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmo Download My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschaffer All My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

According to the BBC, privacy campaigners are calling Google's new rules on tracking people online "a blatant disregard for user privacy." These changes permit "fingerprinting," which allows online advertisers to collect more data about users including their IP addresses and information about their devices.

Meet Google AI mode, a new search experiment requiring application for access (which I got today).This feature provides AI-powered responses and follow-up capabilities, akin to other AI tools. I emphasize the importance for businesses to understand this shift, highlighting the necessity of a strong technical SEO foundation and relevant content to be discoverable.Furthermore, the discussion touched on Google Search Console, website performance as a car, the value of answering questions online, and the significance of platforms like Pinterest for business reach, ultimately urging businesses to adapt to evolving search technologies and build a solid online presence.Frequently Asked Questions: Understanding Google AI Mode and Its Implications1. What is Google AI Mode?Google AI Mode is a new search experiment being rolled out by Google. It represents an evolution of the AI Overviews feature, aiming to provide more comprehensive, AI-powered responses to user queries. This experiment allows for follow-up questions, creating a more conversational search experience similar to interacting with other AI tools like ChatGPT. It signifies a shift in how Google Search may function in the future, integrating AI more deeply into the core search experience.2. How is Google AI Mode different from current Google Search and AI Overviews?Currently, Google Search displays traditional listings along with AI Overviews for some queries, which provide brief AI-generated summaries. Google AI Mode appears to be a more immersive AI experience. Instead of just a summarized overview, users will engage in a more dynamic, conversational interaction with AI to get answers and explore topics. The interface itself on google.com is expected to change, potentially featuring an "AI Mode" alongside options like "Images" and "Videos."3. How can I access Google AI Mode? Is it available to everyone?Access to Google AI Mode is currently limited. It is being rolled out as an experiment, and users need to apply and join a waitlist to potentially gain access. As of late March 2025 (based on the source's timeline), it appears to be available as a test within Google Labs and requires opting in. Furthermore, it seems testing is restricted to personal Gmail accounts rather than Google Workspace accounts. Initially, it's available in the US, with potential expansion to other regions in the future.4. What are the potential benefits of Google AI Mode for users?Google AI Mode promises a more efficient and in-depth way to find information. Users can ask complex questions and engage in follow-up queries to refine their understanding without needing to navigate multiple traditional search results. This conversational approach could lead to quicker answers and a more guided exploration of topics, similar to having a knowledgeable assistant.5. How might Google AI Mode impact businesses and website traffic? The integration of AI Mode could significantly alter how users discover websites. If AI-powered responses become the primary way people get information, websites that are not referenced or linked within these AI interactions may see a decrease in organic traffic. It will become crucial for businesses to ensure their content is high-quality, trustworthy, and easily understandable by AI algorithms to be considered as a reliable source. Being linked in AI responses could become a significant driver of relevant traffic.I hope you learn something new from the new Google AI Mode.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> START YOUR 14-DAY FREE TRIAL WITH FLODESK FOR BETTER EMAIL MARKETING TODAY

Google is requiring advertisers to opt into call recording for its Click-to-Call feature, creating potential HIPAA compliance risks. Jenny explains the changes, why they're a concern, and what steps you need to take to protect your organization.   Key Points: • Google's new terms for Click-to-Call could result in PHI or PII being recorded, violating HIPAA. • The rollout is inconsistent, so accounts must be monitored closely. • You can contact Google support to opt out of call recording.   Action Items: • Check if the terms were accepted for your account. • Share this episode with your team or agency to ensure awareness.   More Information •Search Engine Land Article •Search Engine Journal Article   Connect with Jenny: • Email: jenny@hedyandhopp.com • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennybristow/   If you enjoyed this episode we'd love to hear your feedback!

Air Date 9/13/2024 We've been living through the modern equivalent of the oil boom, back when poking a hole in the ground would make one of the world's most valuable substances, upon which entire economies would be built. But in our case, it's not oil, it's data. Now we are at a pivotal moment as the old unchallenged master of data, Google, has been found guilty of illegal anti-competitive behavior at the same time as generative AI companies are in a new desperate rush to stake claims on every last piece of data they can find.

Welcome back to another episode of the Niche Pursuits Podcast, where Spencer and Jared cover the latest news in SEO, AI, affiliate marketing, and content creation. As always, there's a lot that happened since the previous episode, and they talk about the best Black Friday deals, so don't miss this one! The first news story they cover was the major upheaval at OpenAI over the last few days. Essentially, the board ousted Sam Altman as its CEO due to a lack of confidence and trust in him.  This led to a whirlwind of events: other employees quit in solidarity, he was hired by Microsoft, and then the board at OpenAI changed course and hired him back.  What does this all mean and how will it eventually play out? How did Sam and Microsoft really fare in this debacle? And how does this ultimately impact content creators? Tune in to hear Spencer and Jared's takeaways. The next bit of news they cover is that Google is testing out a “Simple Search” function, which would allow users to filter their search queries and simplify them.  How exactly does it work? What does this mean for the Search Generative Experience? What is Google really doing as it implements all of these changes? And what does it mean for bloggers? Listen and find out. The next topics are about shopping, which could not be more appropriate, since it is Black Friday after all. Google is now using AI to help people shop for their holiday gifts. Spencer and Jared discuss how it works and show the demo. Essentially, AI will help refine gift categories and help people find exactly what they're looking for. The new functions even let you virtually try on clothes! In other shopping news, Amazon has announced that, on Black Friday, its Prime Video will feature shoppable ads, allowing users to scan QR codes to make “instant purchases” during the NFL game. Speaking of shopping, as it's Black Friday, Spencer and Jared forgo the usual Shiny Object Shenanigans portion of the podcast to share some of the biggest and best deals they've seen this season. They talk about special discounts on Spencer's tools, like Link Whisper and Rank Logic, as well as on Jared's photography course. To save big on the best tools, check out the Niche Pursuits Black Friday Deals page! As for this week's Weird Niche Sites, Spencer goes first and reveals Rhyme Zone which, as the name suggests, identifies words that rhyme with your chosen word. The extensive results are organized by syllable. But what's really shocking is how much traffic the site gets! It's off the charts! How is it monetized? And what could it do better to earn more from ads? Listen to the episode for all the details. Jared's site is a bit more whimsical: Cloud Appreciation Society. This weird site features everything from the cloud of the day and cloud of the month to a “Recent Clouds Spotted” section. It also has a very cool UGC feature that Jared and Spencer discuss, as well as the possibility of buying a membership. Is this DR69 site ranking for a lot of keywords? How is it probably doing in terms of revenue?  And that brings us to the end of another episode! Hopefully, you feel like you're in the loop and caught up on recent happenings with Google and SEO.
