Here is how keyword length affects revenue. We looked at over 1 million leads collected by businesses to determine the types of keywords generating the most revenue.

Cloudflare has launched a new feature to block AI bots, scrapers, and crawlers with a single click, and it's free. As AI crawlers continue to swallow up web content, this tool helps protect your content from being used without consent. Many AI crawlers ignore robots txt exclusions or spoof their user agents. Up until now, the robots.txt file has been fairly reliable in helping control bots, but data shows that AI bots don't seem to honor that system. Why Use This? 🤖 Prevent unauthorised use of your data for AI training. 🤖 Reduce maintenance of robots txt file. 🤖 Automatically blocks new bots identified by Cloudflare. Top AI Bots Seen on Cloudflare: 🕷 Bytespider - TikTok (40.4% of sites accessed) 🕷 GPTBot - OpenAI (35.46% of sites accessed) 🕷 ClaudeBot - Anthropic (11.17% of sites accessed) Not all websites will want to block AI bots and crawlers, but for those who do, this is an easy one-click solution with little maintenance required.

If you want freedom, build systems.

If you have a bad product, you must act quickly before it hurts your brand. It's what Google is going through right now with AI Overviews. They tried so hard to push it on us... but a lot of the results aren't great, and for many queries, it isn't really needed. At one point, AI showed up for 84% of the search results on Google. Now, it's just 15% according to BrightEdge. It's great to innovate, but make sure you put useful stuff out. Don't just try to ride a trend, make sure whatever you do is the best experience for the user. Just think of Apple... they don't rush to put stuff out, but when they do put something out it usually is amazing.
