The importance of good search engines and good discovery engines will grow even more.

Search engines got SEO'd to death decades ago

  • What good is SEO if people just read the Gemini summary at the top of Google and don't click the links? We have a chance at a real search engine again, now that there's no money in it.

Can such a thing even exist now? Any search engine algorithm can be gamed by AI.

  • I actually think the good old Page rank[0] is crucial because if the authoritative sources link to some website, webpage or content it means that particular item provides some kind of value to the entity that linked it. I'm also a big fan of metadata which can be used to describe web content and make the content more usable to the search engines and the Web users.
