2026/01/13

E924: I sit down with Lars Lofgren and Jacky Chou to talk about what's really happening inside search right now - not the PR version, not the Google blog version, but what people running sites, ranking pages, and making money are actually seeing. We dig into why white-hat, content-driven SEO feels like it's collapsing for a lot of people, while black-hat operators, parasite SEO, and forum spam are quietly having one of their best years ever. This isn't a theoretical conversation. Lars and Jacky work

E922: SEO researcher, Mateusz Makosiewicz, created a completely fake luxury brand, published a few fabricated stories about it on Reddit and Medium, and watched as major AI tools confidently repeated the lies as fact. Even when the company's own website said those claims were false, the AI systems still chose the fake stories. This episode walks through exactly how the experiment worked, which AI models failed, which ones held up, and what this means for anyone running a brand, a website, or a

2026/01/10

E920: I break down one of the most unusual and important SEO stories of the decade: how Grokipedia, an AI-generated encyclopedia connected to Elon Musk's Grok, went from almost zero Google traffic to millions of clicks in just weeks - and why that could force Google into a decision that changes the future of AI content in search. Grokipedia isn't just another AI site. It is structured like Wikipedia, fully interlinked, heavily indexed, and now ranking for millions of keywords. But unlike Wikipedia,

2026/01/08

E918: David Quaid returns to the show to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in SEO: XML sitemaps. Every day, people are told that if their pages are "crawled but not indexed," the fix is simple - submit a sitemap. This episode explains why that advice is usually wrong, what XML sitemaps actually do, and why authority is the real factor behind indexing and rankings. This conversation reframes SEO as a system, not a checklist. Instead of treating Google like it follows instructions, we

If you want your content to be shown, cited, or recommended by large language models, understanding how one major AI answer engine works gives you insight into how the rest likely operate.

Barry Schwartz helped add context, and in this I explain how consistency impacts rankings, trust, and conversions across both technical SEO and content. This conversation focuses on why inconsistent implementation quietly holds back many

Why AI Garbage Content Ranks in Google

E909: When you search Google today, you'll often see obviously AI-generated, low-quality content ranking in the top results - sometimes even from big global brands. In this episode, I break down why that happens, what's actually going on inside Google's algorithms, and why copying what you see in the SERPs is often the wrong takeaway for long-term SEO. This isn't an episode about shortcuts or spam tactics. It's about understanding how search really works, where the leniency comes from, and how to
