Crypto Narrative Hype Is Not Search or AI Visibility: Use AVS to Find the Gaps, Not to Call the Next Cycle (2026)
Narrative hype and KOL reposts do not mean search or AI answers can see you. Use AVS to find the gaps. Correlation is not causation; no ChatGPT recommendation is guaranteed.
Being Cited by an AI Overview Does Not Mean It Said What You Said: How a 98,020-Claim Study Measured It
A May 2026 preprint split Google AI Overviews into 98,020 claims and checked each against the pages the Overview itself cited: 11.0% were not supported, of which 7.0% were not mentioned on the cited page and 2.7% were contradicted by it. This post unpacks the method and its limits, and separates a common mistake: the widely quoted 60% trigger rate comes from a different study with a different denominator. It ends with five things site owners can do.
UltraProbe vs TWTools: Choosing a Free AI and SEO Website Scanner (2026)
Both are rule-based website scanners, not Semrush-style brand-mention trackers. TWTools: SEO / GEO / AEO across 18 sub-indicators, Taiwan-local signals, side-by-side comparison of up to 10 sites, PDF / CSV export. UltraProbe: SEO + AEO + AAO combined into AVS with a published formula, plus Prompt Security scanning and an npm CLI. The two scores cannot be compared, and a high score does not guarantee ChatGPT will recommend you.

Uploading a Selfie to ChatGPT Is Not a Filter: Your Face Is a Credential You Cannot Reset
Social feeds are full of "ask ChatGPT what I would look like as a Japanese gangster": upload a selfie, get a generated image back, then tag someone with "your turn". This is not a filter. A face is a credential that cannot be reset, consumer accounts by default allow content to be used to improve models, turning the setting off is not retroactive, and deleting a chat does not pull it back out of a training batch. With the original text of the terms, the full pipeline, the line between what can go to the cloud and what should never be uploaded, and the two paths in our own products that touch faces.
Google Now Pays for AI Citations, and the Search Console API Cannot Measure Them
Google confirmed the AI contribution pilot: content that significantly contributes to answers in AI Overviews, AI Mode and Gemini gets paid, through Search Console. The formula is undisclosed, and when I tested our own property the Search Console API returned no AI surface data at all, even though the interface gained an AI report in August. Here is the test, how to rerun it, and what to measure instead.
