Companies such as TollBit, Cloudflare and others are offering tools to detect, block, or monetize bot access, while a growing market promotes services that help content appear in AI-driven search results. The shift is reshaping how the web functions and creating new revenue streams for digital publishers. Leer más →

Google’s search head Liz Reid wrote a blog post asserting that artificial‑intelligence features are not reducing website clicks and are actually driving more searches. The post responds to a Pew Research Center analysis that suggested AI Overviews lower click‑through rates. Reid claims total organic click volume has stayed relatively stable year‑over‑year and that AI tools are an evolution of earlier features like the Knowledge Graph, which also did not cut clicks. She notes users increasingly seek authentic voices, referencing Google’s partnership with Reddit, but provides no specific data to back the claims. Leer más →

Google Search executives say AI‑driven Overviews are increasing the number of searches and improving the quality of clicks to websites. The company argues that overall organic traffic remains stable year‑over‑year and that users are engaging more deeply with content after seeing AI summaries.

Cloudflare’s CEO also notes a sharp decline in referral traffic from Google over recent years. The contrasting viewpoints highlight uncertainty about AI’s impact on web traffic. Leer más →
