Hi iwan,

Google's August spam update turned into a 26-day disaster that broke half the tools SEOs depend on.

Meanwhile, YouTube quietly became the most important platform for AI search visibility.

This month's roundup covers several stories you need to see:

  • The spreadsheet guy making $65K per video with "boring" content (his simple formula works for any niche)

  • New data from 35,000 links reveals which backlinks actually move the needle with AI (the answer shocked researchers)

  • Why YouTube gets cited 200x more than any other video platform in ChatGPT and Perplexity (and what that means for your content strategy)

...plus critical updates on Google Ads AI, YouTube's creator changes, and the chaos around Google's tool restrictions.

To your continued success,
