Today’s decision

Watch

Watch controls, recheck attribution

Leave robots.txt as is until Google's shared AI training control actually ships, and note which new controls Bing offers you. Expect Gemini citations to arrive without UTM tags, so don't treat a dip in tagged AI traffic as lost visibility.

Google plans to support a shared AI training control in robots.txt, and Bing is expanding publisher controls over how AI uses content, so the rules for who can learn from your pages are taking shape. At the same time, Gemini cited links no longer carry UTM parameters, and a study finds AI Overviews pushing News Boxes out of search results, which makes AI-driven visits harder to see and classic news placements harder to win. The front is significant and still moving: keep watch rather than overhauling anything today.

Observed, measured, recorded, forecast, decided

Five instruments and one decision. That is the whole job, and the last station is the only one that is yours.

From observation to one decision A coast on the left where a storm is raining onto the sea, and a horizon running inland to a sunny shop, the ground cut open beneath it. A cup anemometer on a lattice mast and an instrument screen with a rain gauge send their readings by buried cable into one forecast office, and a weather balloon rising ahead of a rain front sends its reading by radio to the office antenna. Inside the office a logbook lies open on the desk under a chart. One cable runs out of the office to a signal mast flying a single flag, within sight of a storefront.
