@joshuamaraney: Major Publishers Are Considering Blocking Google’s Crawlers. Here’s Why. Some of the world’s biggest publishers are considering restricting or even blocking Google’s crawlers because AI Overviews are answering users’ questions without sending as much traffic back to their websites. Companies including USA Today, Reuters, Politico, The Economist, Reddit, and People Inc. have reportedly discussed limiting Google’s access as referral traffic continues to decline. If major publishers block Google from accessing their content, there may be fewer large publishers competing for visibility in Google’s search results. That gives smaller publishers producing high-quality, original content a better chance to rank and attract organic traffic. Now is the time to invest in technical SEO, helpful content, and quality backlinks. The next generation of successful publishers may not be the biggest. They may simply be the most visible. #Google #SEO #ContentMarketing #DigitalPR #OrganicSearch
