transcription
Spencer: Hey, everybody. Welcome again to the area of interest pursuits podcast at the moment. We’ll be speaking about the way forward for search. Uh, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has some ideas on what the way forward for search seems like, and he particularly mentions a pivot. In search that he is carried out and he thinks it is paying dividends.
And so we will discuss what that pivot is and general his perspective on what the way forward for search seems like, and naturally, how that applies to you and I as bloggers and area of interest web site creators, uh, after which. Along with that, we will be speaking in regards to the March core replace that is occurring proper now.
We’ll discuss Reddit and Google and that whole relationship. And plenty of this stuff that probably dovetail into the way forward for search. And, uh, so, in order that’s the primary factor that we will discuss right here. However after all, we may also discuss our aspect hustle initiatives that we’re engaged on briefly.
After which two bizarre area of interest websites. Every of us have a bizarre area of interest web site that we have discovered. We’ll share with you and we will dive into what’s working, possibly why it is bizarre and simply why we predict it is an fascinating web site to share right here on the podcast. So having stated all that, Jared, how are you doing at the moment?
Jared: Very effectively spencer welcome again. It has been some time because you or I had been out. You are out of city I imagine final week. I do not know you were not right here final week Uh thomas did an excellent job, however it’ll be good to good to have you ever again within the internet hosting chair
Spencer: Yeah, it is good to be again. I took a bit of trip. I used to be on spring break, you already know acquired outside did some climbing And issues like that and form of unplugged for a bit of bit.
So I do admire thomas and your self um ensuring the The information episode carries on for everyone. Uh, so let’s go forward and soar into at the moment’s high story. As I discussed, uh, Google CEO Sundar Pinchai, uh, he simply did an interview. It seems like with the Stanford college of enterprise or some, um, you already know, college by means of, by means of Stanford.
Uh, and he was requested plenty of questions on what does the way forward for Uh, search appear to be and he form of gave a imaginative and prescient for here is what it is search goes to be like over the following 10 years and this text simply on, uh, search engine journal signal summarizes this interview. The interview wasn’t truly performed with search engine journal or something like that, however they summarize this interview.
Uh, and the massive pivot that, uh, the CEO of Google talked about is, effectively, I will learn his quote. He says, one of many primary issues I did as CEO is to essentially pivot the corporate in direction of engaged on AI. And I believe that can serve us effectively for the following decade forward. And so does, uh, does Google care so much about AI? I imply, there you’ve it.
The CEO says that is the massive pivot he is made to date, uh, as he is been CEO and he is solely been CEO for, I do not know, the quantity 5 years, one thing like that. Um, and, uh, he believes that AI goes to serve them effectively over the following decade. And so he form of offers a, a bit of little bit of a dialogue on all of the R and D that they have been doing.
After all, we find out about Gemini, Gemini professional their AI technology device. And we now have seen as content material creators, the search generative expertise or SGE that’s now occurring instantly inside Google. And he talks about this stuff so much. I, it seems like that’s just about the most important issues that he talked about all through this interview when he seems at, okay, what.
Does the way forward for search appear to be? Nicely, he principally says that expertise is evolving and expertise goes to at all times evolve, however search is basically, um, nonetheless going to be occurring in the identical general method. Individuals are nonetheless going to be looking issues, however the expertise goes to be extra superior, together with, you already know, AI.
And, um, what’s fascinating to me is that he was certain to level out that, Hey. AI is nothing new. Uh, we have been making an attempt to implement synthetic intelligence into our search outcomes for a very long time. We have been doing this by means of featured snippets. We have been doing this by means of, um, all the extra options.
Inside search that, uh, behind the scenes, it is, it has been this synthetic intelligence that has been surfacing a number of the, the most effective content material and even the moment solutions that they’ve. Proper. Um, they have been doing that for a very long time. And so Google or search. I will simply learn this fast quote. Search was textual content and 10 blue hyperlinks, possibly 15 years in the past, however you already know, uh, however you already know, now it is pictures through movies through discovering solutions in your questions.
These are all adjustments. You recognize, to my earlier level, individuals form of, you already know, We have performed all this in Google search for a very long time and other people prefer it, individuals have interaction with it, individuals belief it. So he is certain to level out that, hey, Google hasn’t been simply 10 blue hyperlinks for a very long time. In order that’s my fast take overview.
Jared chime in. What’s your ideas on this interview?
Jared: It is good learn. I believe it is good learn as a result of that is precisely the way in which. I’d think about a CEO would take into consideration search. We, we take into consideration like, I do know a number of the conversations I have been concerned with simply this week is like, how are we going to optimize for SGE?
What does it appear to be to get your content material within there? We discuss load instances and, you already know, all this stuff that we are likely to give attention to. And that is, that is, Many would say most likely fairly generic because it pertains to the way forward for search in 10 years. And on the identical time, it is most likely a really viable have a look at search in 10 years as a result of it is from a really excessive stage and it is actually taking what has been the final 10 years of search or final 15 as he places it and form of makes use of it to transpose what, what the following 10 years would appear to be.
So should you’re searching for website positioning insights right here, you are not going to search out any. For those who’re searching for form of how A broader scale seems at the way forward for search. I did assume it was fairly fascinating. I did have one thing I wished to learn out. I used to be nervous you had been going to form of hijack. I believe that is fascinating.
Um, let me learn this one little half right here for you. Um, one among his quotes, look, I believe it is one of the vital, uh, one of many widespread myths round Google, uh, round that Google has been 10 blue hyperlinks for a very long time, you already know, when cellular got here, we knew Google search needed to evolve so much. We name it featured snippets.
I believe that is fascinating. I by no means had correlated that featured snippets had been a direct response to the rise in cellular utilization and cellular search. Unsure that is precisely what he is saying, however he is insinuating that. And I’m wondering if, you already know, SGE is their related method to AI, akin to cellular, uh, function snippets was to cellular search.
Spencer: Hmm. Yeah. Attention-grabbing. I agree. I believe it is tremendous fascinating, proper? They, they developed when, uh, cell phones had been turning into larger utilization, added, uh, these options snippets. After which after all we now have AI persevering with to evolve search. And I believe that, uh, the, the opposite form of massive factor that he stated is that, um, SGE will not be a chatbot expertise.
Um, principally saying that chatbots. And search are form of two separate issues, proper?
Jared: And that is fascinating as a result of I believe Bing has built-in chat GPT so carefully into their search expertise. They’d nearly say, I do not wish to put phrases of their mouth, however from what they’re doing, they might nearly say that chat bots and search are akin to one another, proper?
Proper.
Spencer: Yeah. And, however he is, he is making an attempt to form of differentiate probably this technique or this manner transferring ahead. Proper. Uh, he says, and so I believe that is totally different from once you’re in a chat bot. And I believe that the extra energetic space of analysis, I believe that is extra, a extra energetic space of analysis the place generally it has its voice.
So how do you get these moments? Proper. And, you already know, once more, for us, I believe it is an space the place we will probably be deeply dedicated to getting it proper. Um, and so. Though, uh, S. G. E. And A. I. Is carried out into search itself, he nonetheless does attempt to differentiate between utilizing a chat bot versus. Search, which once more is an fascinating perspective.
Um, after which the opposite factor that I wish to spotlight, if I can discover the quote, uh, however basically that, um, I do not know if I will discover the precise line I used to be searching for, however principally that, that web sites. crucial to Google. That is not going away. And naturally, that is a giant fear for us as bloggers.
Is SGE going to take over and simply reply all of the questions? Is AI going to reply the whole lot? Uh, however he is certain to level out that web sites, content material creators are very a lot wanted, and he sees that as the way in which. Going ahead sooner or later as effectively, that this content material goes to be wanted. Uh, search goes to be all about surfacing that content material.
Um, however that AI massive language studying fashions are going to. Improve that have of surfacing that data.
Jared: Yeah, I, that is, that was gonna be the one I introduced up subsequent. I imply, I form of summarized it right here in my notes, however he stated, even with developments, and this is not a quote, that is my abstract, even with developments and AI pointing customers to web sites.
Stays a precedence. Um, the main target is on offering prime quality, reliable data, balancing direct solutions with a spread of opinions. Um, and so I, the quote I’ve right here, I believe it form of applies is, um, uh, Uh, I believe we have at all times struck the stability. That is what I am saying. It is not about giving a solution.
There are particular instances you give a solution. What is the inhabitants in the US? Sure. It is an answerable query, however there are occasions you wish to floor the breadth of opinions on the market on the net, which is what search does and does it. Nicely, the abstract can nonetheless level you to the vary of choices on the market.
Proper. And we try this at the moment on a regular basis. So, um, and he had different quotes as effectively, however you already know, he was bullish on web sites stay a really massive a part of the. Search expertise 10 years from now,
Spencer: proper? Precisely. And I believe it is troublesome to foretell even for a CEO to know precisely what search goes to appear to be in 10 years.
Um, you already know, issues are quickly altering with the usage of AI, however not less than publicly, uh, the CEO of Google is form of stating that, hey, We’re we have, we have been evolving for a very long time. We’ll proceed to evolve, however that it should proceed to really feel like only a search expertise. You go and also you search and also you get your solutions.
Um, he definitely will not be making any daring statements that that is altering drastically and I would not count on him to take action.
Jared: How about this for an alternate universe? What about in 10 years, should you go to the Google homepage and there is. Two home windows to kind into. And one says, search S G E A I expertise. And the opposite says, search the Reddit expertise and that is it.
Spencer: That may be a giant change. Uh, form of seems like we’re
Jared: going that manner generally, would not it?
Spencer: It does a bit of bit. And, um, you already know, because you introduced up Reddit, possibly let’s, let’s discuss, you already know, one thing that Lily Ray introduced up not too long ago, you already know, we have talked in regards to the Google. Reddit relationship for a very long time.
It seems like, um, Google’s, I do not know, form of acquired a crush on Reddit a bit of bit. I believe at this level it is greater than a crush. It is a bit of, I believe we’re moving into like a good territory or one thing. I, Oh sure, definitely. I imply, it is, uh, I imply, should you have a look at this, um, Lily Ray pulled out a bunch of knowledge from the website positioning visibility development of Reddit.
And she or he says that it is, she believes, she says, I am fairly certain that the. website positioning visibility development is unprecedented within the historical past of Google search, which is form of thoughts boggling to assume. It’s important to pull up
Jared: the
Spencer: graph
Jared: that she has someplace in there, by the way in which, simply in some unspecified time in the future.
Spencer: Yeah, a few pictures down right here.
That one, yeah. This one right here.
Jared: Yeah.
Spencer: Yeah. Right here we go. We will get that one pulled up. That’s simply. I imply, that is insane. That goes to, and that is even like, uh, the start of March, is not it? With the, uh, Oh my, effectively, okay, no, that is, that is 2023. In order that’s like, so it is the useful content material replace,
Jared: proper? So you may truly see the place we had been speaking a few weeks in the past in regards to the dip Reddit had.
Nicely, they haven’t solely recovered from that dip, however doubled the the the the downward development. Yeah. It is like, even once they dip, we will not even get the information out quick sufficient earlier than they’ve recovered and and regained and and gotten extra visitors, however
Spencer: in any case. I agree. Um, she says right here that Reddit has moved from the eightieth largest website positioning web site on Google final July to now the sixth largest at the moment.
Um, that’s simply thoughts blowing. The, the sixth largest website positioning web site within the planet. Proper. Um, And issues, I imply, this graph form of exhibits all of it. It simply continues to develop. Such as you stated, possibly there’s bumps within the street, however it simply continues to develop. And she or he brings up a degree, which I am nonetheless not likely on board with this idea, and he or she form of says the identical factor.
She’s like, I’ve prevented this idea, however it’s like nearly getting ridiculous, to not not less than look into it additional. Like, is there some form of financial or backdoor relationship with Google and Reddit? I imply, uh, Uh, Google not too long ago had this partnership that we talked about on the podcast.
Jared: Yeah. I used to be going to say there’s a financial relationship.
There, there may be. Yeah. I suppose it is within the
Spencer: open. You recognize, how far does it go? I suppose possibly. Proper. So, um, Google is paying Reddit 60 million a yr, uh, to entry all their information consumer data to coach their AI fashions. Proper.
Jared: And I used to be going to say, and, and to, to your level, Lily’s level, I am being facetious by saying there’s a deal, however the deal has nothing to do with what exhibits up in search.
Precisely. It is strictly for coaching their AI mannequin, proper? So in any case, I, I, I say that, however it should have no impression on what’s rating is,
Spencer: is, yeah. It shouldn’t, proper? However it’s exhausting to disregard when, you already know, Hey, we’re, we’re paying you 60 million and, Oh, we will ship you a bunch extra visitors. So you will get a bunch extra information, you already know, and blame it on the algorithm, you already know, blame it on the algorithm.
That is simply the way in which it really works. So, um, that is simply one other, not essentially. Information story, however an replace to love, okay, Reddit remains to be crushing it in Google. Um, yeah, I suppose that is what the way forward for search seems like. I imply,
Jared: you, you joked about having a crush on Reddit and I joked about having an affair with Reddit, however the final couple of minutes, it nearly feels.
Like that is a great analogy, proper? Like we do not know something’s happening, however we simply seen they’re spending a heck of plenty of time collectively and it is odd they’re spending a lot time collectively. And so it is simply price mentioning that the correlations, there’s too a lot of them to, to Lily’s level, not must form of say it out loud and never say there’s any validity to it, however I believe, and Spencer going all the way in which again to what we talked so much about final yr, which we have not heard something about this shortly, or am I simply residing below a rock what is going on on with the antitrust lawsuit towards Google by the DOJ?
And the truth that this feels so oddly timed as a result of this seems so anti belief esque, this appears so oddly timed to all correlate and occur similtaneously they’re in the midst of an antitrust lawsuit. In order that timing appears very off from a PR standpoint. We noticed Google take an enormous hit of their inventory worth, albeit pretty restricted once they needed to pull again Gemini and the discharge there, like their PR picture is vital to them.
This feels Bizarre and misplaced, particularly given that they are within the limelight for the DOJ lawsuit.
Spencer: And I imply, I, man, any person, and possibly it should must be me doing one other YouTube video, however any person has simply acquired to name out Reddit once more and Google for all of the ridiculous outcomes that get pulled up on Reddit, proper?
Um, it is form of talked about on this dialogue right here that, I imply, Google has spent years and, you already know, Tons of engineers and utilizing AI and all these actually sensible individuals to floor the most effective outcomes potential and the reply they’ve form of ended on as effectively. Let’s floor Reddit on a regular basis. And then you definately get these solutions on Reddit.
Uh, the place does she say this one is simply hilarious. She says yesterday, I discovered an instance of Reddit outcome rating prominently on web page one, after I searched Google for the way to lose 10 kilos in per week. And a Redditor urged. Slicing off your arm, proper? Like that is, is that the reply that Google needs to be giving individuals to shedding 10 kilos?
Oh, it’s. It’s the
Jared: reply they’re giving them. It
Spencer: is the reply.
Jared: They usually’re defending it. You recognize, I imply, they don’t seem to be defending that particularly, however they’re defending the truth that, uh, and I, I do not wish to misquote, however principally a quote of individuals like getting Reddit, Reddit solutions. So we’re surfacing them as if there is no.
Obligation to offer solutions which might be legitimate fairly than solutions which might be what individuals need, you already know Like my get my children need ice cream daily It does not imply as a mum or dad I give it to them each minute proper like I’ve an obligation above that Uh, to, you already know, and so it simply feels very odd that these solutions are being serviced within the response sometimes, or oftentimes it is like, ah, dang it, that is simply form of what individuals need.
Spencer: Yeah, it is like, form of throw out this your cash, your life factor, who cares? Like, simply let Reddit reply all these questions, proper? I, in spite of everything these updates, and so it, it feels a bit of bit disingenuous. I simply, I’ve to assume in some unspecified time in the future, there’s acquired to be some, Uh, reverse PR nightmare, as a result of should you bear in mind, the unique story that was like a PR nightmare was, you already know, a journalist went to Google and could not discover his solutions, after which he went to Reddit and located his solutions.
Jared: And so then he began pending Reddit to the tip of each search.
Spencer: And now, it is like we have come manner too far. At this level, there must be one other story saying, okay, learn it. You went to, or okay, Google, you went too far with Reddit. Proper. And possibly I simply must create that video once more, however, uh, I figured some massive identify journalist for the wall avenue journal simply must cowl it.
I imply, that is only a juicy, juicy story that, uh, You recognize, sadly I haven’t got a sufficiently big microphone, um, to trigger an actual dent in Google’s picture. But when any person covers it, wall avenue journal, should you’re listening, I am completely satisfied to speak,
Jared: we have to all begin going to Reddit and looking, however appending the phrase Google to the tip of our Reddit search.
Oh, would not that be nice.
Spencer: We’ll have come full circle in some unspecified time in the future. Nicely,
Jared: I do not assume anybody’s all that a lot happier with the non Reddit outcomes we’re seeing in Google proper now both. So, between Parasite, website positioning, or no matter they’re calling it and apparently fixing within the subsequent couple weeks, um, uh, to, you already know, simply, you already know, uh, Forbes writing in regards to the, you already know, Uh, the most effective, uh, uh, the whole lot below the solar.
Precisely.
Spencer: They, they’re an knowledgeable in the whole lot now. Um, and you already know, talking of present search outcomes, we do have this March core replace. I am simply sharing a tweet, uh, from Glenn Gaby. I believe he is form of doing this each day right here. Principally saying, Hey, the March core replace, uh, he says his core replace notes, I suppose is what he calls it.
April eleventh. That is at the moment that we’re recording, uh, no end but to the core replace. And so should you do not just like the Google search outcomes, The replace hasn’t completed, however it’s beginning to really feel like we’re attending to the very finish. And in reality, Glenn says he felt like it will be over, uh, by now, however it’s nonetheless happening.
So there’s nonetheless like this sliver of hope that there is going to be, Uh, some adjustments to websites that had been hit by the useful content material replace. After all, the useful content material replace is now a part of the overall core updates. Proper. Um, however as he factors out, sadly, that is, I imply, it, it is form of miserable, however we now have to speak about it.
It is simply that he has not seen any, uh, reversals of the useful content material replace. We now have not seen any websites. Have a restoration in the course of the March core replace, which is what plenty of us had been actually hoping. Um, in truth, simply being, you already know, boots on the bottom, speaking to lots of people, uh, individuals have been hit tougher, you already know, they acquired hit by the useful content material replace and so they acquired hit even tougher by some means, uh, within the March core replace.
And so it is, uh, it is a bit of bit miserable on the market, proper. For lots of listeners. And so I do not wish to make gentle of what is going on on as a result of it, it is I imply, it has lots of people struggling of their enterprise and actually questioning what to do subsequent.
Jared: Yeah.
Spencer: We’ll
Jared: discuss it a bit of bit later as effectively.
We’ll form of contact on, you already know, what the longer term may appear to be and what persons are doing about it, you already know, however you are precisely proper. Like, I believe everyone needs to order closing judgment till this core replace, uh, wraps up, after all. We’re coping with just like the longest core replace on the planet. Um, you already know, Thomas and I talked final week about how certainly, you already know, by the point we acquired on this week, we would be speaking in regards to the wrap of the core replace proper after we acquired off recording because the podcast was going dwell.
Nicely, uh, John Mueller, uh, both slipped or form of let it take out of the bag at a presentation he was doing. I really feel like Berlin, Germany, someplace in Europe, principally that the replace was nonetheless rolling out would have a pair extra weeks, you already know, he stated, I believe one to 2 weeks. And so right here we’re. One week later may very well be one other week.
John Mueller has addressed that. And so certain sufficient, we have not seen the tip. And, uh, I suppose there’s an opportunity it won’t be performed presently subsequent week. Though I believe subsequent Tuesday is the six week mark now. So I believe we ought to be wrapping up. However you already know, however it’s, it is at all times robust, you already know, like once you’re ready for information about one thing as, um, as, as, as devastating because the useful content material replace was to so most of the listeners right here.
And naturally, that is the replace the place we now have to attend the longest for that information. So that you’re proper. It is a form of a troubling time for a lot of and hard, and you do not wish to put the nail within the coffin till we’re there but. However on the identical time, you already know, Glenn is documenting daily how there’s simply hasn’t been any motion but.
So.
Spencer: Yeah, precisely. So, you already know, form of simply maintain on on the market, you already know, give it one other week. And, uh, we’ll be hopefully by then speaking a couple of abstract of the March, uh, core replace, hoping, you already know, fingers crossed that there are some constructive updates, uh, one thing constructive to say, you already know, in regards to the replace as an alternative of, Oh, Reddit simply acquired a bunch extra visitors, you already know, after the replace,
Jared: I imply, we, we, I do know you and I each have already got so many, Ideas to share about
Spencer: all
Jared: this matter, proper?
We discuss offline on a regular basis and stuff, so I will reserve it for subsequent week and the next weeks, however suffice to say, like. Seen zero motion on any of the websites impacted by the HCU is, is simply, it is an enchanting method to the bigger subjects we have already addressed at the moment. So, yeah, I will depart it at that and keep tuned for extra ideas later.
Spencer: Yeah, precisely. Particularly with all of the chatter and, you already know, form of the communication with, uh, Danny Sullivan, Google search liaison on Twitter, you Dived in deep into all these Twitter threads and form of tried to offer consoling, uh, phrases, um, and to not see any motion on that entrance is a, is a bit of bit irritating.
So, um, we are going to. So we are going to depart it at that, uh, however we do have one different, uh, fascinating, uh, factor that I, I believe you touched on a bit of bit with, uh, with Thomas final week, I believe you stated is, um, form of the utilization of being proper? Um, that being utilization is on the rise. It truly gained, um, some, some footing or variety of customers or % complete utilization of search, proper?
There’s a bit of bit extra occurring on being now versus, uh, Google, uh, than earlier than. So, uh, However it was the being now remind me, who is that this individual? Uh, for a breeze canal, she is the principal product supervisor at Microsoft being, and he or she says the being utilization extends past what many SEOs could understand. Uh, after which he goes on to principally say that, um, Along with simply being, you already know, you are hopping on being and utilizing the search engine instantly, being truly powers a number of different search engines like google, together with DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Ask, Ecosia, Swiss cows, and extra surfaces as home windows co pilot and extra.
So should you sum up all of that, the impression is much more important. So should you’ve seen your Bing search visitors enhance, nice. However should you’ve seen, you already know, extra visitors coming from DuckDuckGo or Ask or Ecosia or all these. That is actually simply being proper. So, uh, should you optimize on being proper, that is a approach to faucet into form of all these, um, a bit of bit extra.
Jared: You are not simply, and never that we’re there but, possibly as website positioning is for optimizing particularly for being, however I believe should you, to your level, precisely, should you optimize for being, you are truly additionally optimizing for duck, duck, go. You are truly additionally optimizing for Yahoo. And, um, you already know, Thomas form of introduced up a great level final week that, you is price mentioning, like In case your goal demographic is a bunch of millennials, effectively, possibly you need not do it.
However, to his level, like, boomers love Bing, proper? As a result of it is defaulted on the Web Explorer. And, you already know, so if that is your goal market, you already know, Man, there’s increasingly more of a case. That is increasingly more fascinating to consider optimizing round a Bing, due to all of the platforms it is on.
Spencer: And, um, the opposite fascinating factor, uh, to notice is that, uh, the desktop search market share, so desktop, once more, that is, you already know, the boomers, they don’t seem to be utilizing the cellular system.
So it does skew to an older viewers. In all probability, uh, the desktop market share exhibits the being at over 17 % share with Google at 76%. In order that may be very fascinating. Um, after which additionally Yahoo is nearly 4 % DuckDuckGo is 2 % and others, proper? So that you get effectively over 20 % of the desktop search share is going on actually with being search engine.
Jared: And, and I imply, that is a staggering quantity, 17%. I do know that the majority search occurs on cellular, so let’s not, you already know, let’s not get carried away right here. Extra persons are looking on cellular, however. That is nonetheless such as you’re moving into, you are getting these figures, you are getting these information factors which might be suggesting increasingly more of that being as a robust, uh, search to be reckoned with, particularly going ahead.
Spencer: Precisely. And I suppose the general stat that, I imply, form of began all of this off is that, um, you already know, stat counters confirmed that Google. Misplaced about 2 % market share. And, uh, being was the one which gained nearly all of that share. So, and that was the article that we lined that
Jared: we lined final week.
So it form of dug down completely.
Spencer: Yeah. So, um, yeah, simply, simply fascinating tidbit to see, you already know, form of take into consideration the place being powers, the whole lot, and possibly it is time I’ve truly been considering is possibly it is time to, uh, mud off and even see if I’ve a Bing webmaster instruments account. I believe possibly 10 years in the past, I set one up, however.
You actually would
Jared: have, uh, you’d have loved final week’s episode.
Spencer: I’d have that. Is that what it was all about? See, I used to be out climbing Bryce Canyon and sadly not listening to the. I
Jared: do not blame you. I do not consider it for me, a trip doesn’t represent listening to the area of interest pursuits podcast, so I completely perceive, however we, we, we joked about how, you already know, it is time for when to mud off their Bing webmaster instruments and get their logging out and form of return to it.
Spencer: That is precisely proper. So, uh, you already know, shout out to final week’s podcast. There’s most likely a hyperlink someplace. Um, however yeah, if you wish to hear that dialogue a bit of bit extra, go for it. Nicely, we’ll simply finish it there.
Jared: One other week of being within the information. I believe that is the vital factor. One other week with being, I suppose, success being within the
Spencer: information, you already know.
And that is information itself proper there, proper? Being talked about twice in a row on the Area of interest Pursuits podcast. Uh, so, um, that, that form of summarizes all the massive information tales that we wished to talk about. Um, and so we will transfer into our shiny object shenanigans, uh, that we now have to speak about. And curiously, Form of the information thread ties into our shiny objects right here in addition to I will focus on, however principally, you already know, a fast replace on, on issues I have been engaged on, I’ve talked about so much up to now is one Amazon influencer, proper?
I set that, been speaking about that for a couple of yr now, however that is, you already know, one thing completely. Completely different than Google, you do not ship any visitors to your web site. Um, however you already know, I am nonetheless making 1500 to 2, 000 a month this yr after having placing, put minimal effort into that over the past three, 4 months.
Um, and, and issues are going nice there. Um, after which the opposite form of aspect hustle that I have been engaged on for a very long time, over a yr. Is making an attempt to get increasingly more visitors from Fb. Uh, so I’ve a separate model, a separate web site that actually the one supply of visitors proper now could be a Fb visitors, you already know, it has a Fb web page and I am making an attempt to drive visitors there, you already know, and it will get wherever from 10, 000 to as excessive as 50, 000 guests a month.
If it will get, you already know, a few items that do very well, however what’s fascinating, after all, about these two aspect hustles is that they do not depend on Search engine visitors actually in any respect. Um, you already know, they don’t seem to be Google reliant. It is not website positioning. And these are a few initiatives I have been engaged on for a couple of yr now.
And once more, I simply say it is fascinating as a result of. There’s a lot extra curiosity now in form of these various sources to Google, this additionally various supply, um, of visitors or enterprise, um, that, you already know, there wasn’t fairly as a lot curiosity in six or eight months in the past when the useful content material replace first got here out, um, which I can cease sharing this text on my display screen, however, um, so.
I do not know. Possibly I will allow you to form of announce what you’ve arising, Jared, because it ties into this, um, various supply of visitors. And, um, I will share a bit of bit extra after you form of say what is going on on there. Yeah, it’s
Jared: humorous.

Um, so yeah, that that dialog has been going by means of my thoughts fairly a bit, you already know, and I am with you. I did a e-newsletter final yr as one among my aspect hustles. We will development did the Amazon influencer program with you and people are all totally different types of visitors to Google. And that query then clearly banging round for thus many individuals proper now who’ve seen their, their content material, their web site, get hit by the HCU, the March core replace, et cetera, et cetera.
Questioning in regards to the enterprise mannequin going ahead. In any case. So, um, I assumed we would get collectively a bunch of various people who find themselves having success on totally different platforms and put a full day collectively the place we discuss every of those various visitors platforms and discuss it from a standpoint of what does it appear to be.
How viable is it? And possibly most significantly, is it a course you must begin going? And so it is referred to as the, uh, the alt G convention. I believe you’ll be able to all work out what the alt stands for and what the G stands for. However, uh, we’ll depart it at that. The alt G convention it is free. And it should be occurring on Wednesday, April twenty fourth.
And, um, suffice to say, you already know, I imply, we will form of go into a bit of bit extra element, however we will be speaking about all of the alternative ways to get visitors to your content material exterior of Google and you will be a speaker.

After which similar to, we acquired it. Get away of our shell and do one thing recent and new
Jared: so subsequent week subsequent week.
Spencer: All
Jared: proper
Spencer: section. Okay, I will be right here Let’s let’s do it Okay, superb. So let’s go forward and save a couple of minutes now for our bizarre area of interest websites and So I will go forward and go first I’ve acquired this bizarre area of interest web site and Once more, simply thanks to the area of interest pursuits group I’ve a big backlog now of bizarre area of interest websites.
And so I tapped into that and located, discovered this one which I believe it is actually fascinating. Um, you already know, Jared, possibly I will ask you this query. Have you ever ever in some unspecified time in the future in your life, you already know, possibly it isn’t been not too long ago, however in some unspecified time in the future in your life, have you ever ever been driving down the street and noticed similar to a, Outdated rusty heap of metallic or one thing like that.
And thought, you already know, I wish to simply throw that at the back of my automobile. Go see if I can flip that in to money, you already know, flip it in as scrap metallic. How a lot may I make from that? You recognize, I, have you ever ever dreamed that I’ve, I will, I will be sincere. I’ve considered doing that.
Jared: Uh, equally, we redid our yard a pair years in the past, and so they had been ripping out a number of the stuff that was there from once we moved in, and so they had been, they had been like, you need us to haul this away, proper?
And I used to be like, yeah, yep, yep, that is what I requested, and he is like, I, I agree, haul the whole lot away, however this, you have acquired plenty of brass that was used to line your walkway, you most likely must go take that in, that is most likely three or 4 hundred {dollars} price of brass. What? That is a factor. And he is like, it is positively a factor.
That is a factor. So that you’re, I have never pushed by the aspect of the street, however
Spencer: that is a narrative that got here to thoughts once you, once you introduced that up. Yeah, no, it, it is a factor and it is a aspect hustle factor as I will present you right here. Uh, in a minute, you already know, I I’ve dreamed massive of plenty of issues and I’ve truly tried some, some bizarre issues like making an attempt to get golf balls out of ponds and issues like that for cash, however.
I by no means truly acquired my scrap metallic cash, uh, however I at all times considered doing it. However if you wish to do it, I’ve acquired the web site, like it’s essential to know. Um, it is my bizarre area of interest web site right here at the moment. It’s, uh, I scrap. I scrapped app. com I scrapped app. I learn that
Jared: completely totally different. I learn that as is crap app doc.
Spencer: Yeah, I did too. The primary time I noticed it, I assumed that is going to be very bizarre, however it’s I scrap, uh, and so they have it lowercase. So possibly it was an iPhone app to start out. In all probability. I do know it did begin as an app. Uh, for a telephone and, um, it truly began by an area, uh, scrap yard, any person that owned this and he is like, you already know, my prospects are at all times calling in asking what the present.
Um, metallic costs are proper. Like how a lot can I get for this pile of brass? Uh, or no matter it’s. Metal, copper, aluminum, um, catalytic converter listed on the high. Yeah. It will probably’t be good for
Jared: theft.
Spencer: Yeah, I do know. Um, however, uh, so he, he is sick of answering all of the calls. So he created an app and began having all his prospects simply set up that, go to the app.
Increase. You get, you get your worth. And so now there’s an accompanying web site. And so all his prospects began utilizing it. A whole lot of different prospects began utilizing it broader, after which he began getting different scrap yards that additionally wished to be listed. And so, um, I do know that there’s now a premium worth you’ll be able to pay.
Um, Oh, that is simply costs for metallic, however you’ll be able to truly pay the I scrap app. For those who’re a scrap yard to get like premium featured, as a result of you’ll be able to come up right here and you are able to do a seek for your native space. Proper. Uh, you could find a scrap yard and like, it is a premium yard right here. That is not too removed from me.
I believe they’re paying 30 bucks a month to be listed, proper? It is like a listing, uh, kind kind web site, you already know? So, um, additionally they have. A bunch of articles, um, you already know, they have information, however they, uh, they do fairly effectively in Google search. So let me pull up their Ahrefs. Um, you’ll be able to see that they are getting about 138, 000 natural guests a month.
Um, they sailed proper on by means of, um, all of those form of updates. Which have occurred, uh, did effectively within the useful content material replace. It seems like, and, uh, performed simply high-quality. And they also’re getting, I believe I went over to related net and it exhibits, effectively, let’s share it, um, that they are getting, you already know, round 300, 000 guests a month, generally extra, proper?
About 300, 000 guests a month. And, uh, so that they have show advertisements, so that they’re making income from that. Uh, additionally they have, um, You recognize, their, their premium, uh, listing listings. So I believe their enterprise is doing, you already know, fairly first rate only for this app. And once more, it was began by a man that owns a scrap yard.
And so that is his most likely aspect hustle little app, I’ve to imagine. However, uh, I did. Form of must chuckle after I see, you already know, you will get the value for a catalytic converter. And now here is this text for 4 methods to organize your catalytic catalytic converters for scrap, proper? Um, a number of the clientele that possibly are studying these articles, possibly will not be essentially the most upstanding, however hopefully most of them are.
Jared: Nicely, I, you already know, we, we I will depart it there. Uh, yeah, additionally they simply depart that one there. In addition they have a store, um, not a Shopify web site. Huge cartel. Sure. Which is Shopify competitor. Um, I do not get the hustle theme. Have you learnt what’s, what is the hustle angle? The whole lot on their store, should you’re not wanting is all hus, you already know, the, all of the paraphernalia is all hustle.
Um, possibly hus like should you’re scrapping, you are hustling.
Spencer: I do not know. You recognize? Precisely. Yeah. That is, that was truly my level, you already know, is form of. The, the story I requested you, you already know, is like, Hey, have you ever ever wished to cite unquote hustle? You see one thing on the aspect of the street, you decide it up, throw in your pickup, go make some cash.
You are scrapping, proper? Yeah. For those who’re scrapping, you are a hustler, A hustle hustler. Like that is legit hustling. Like this isn’t like running a blog, hustling. Like, oh, my fingers are so drained. Yeah. Like, I am typing, that is like carpal
Jared: tunnel. My
Spencer: arms are drained as a result of I am lifting scrap. Proper? So. Yeah, I adore it.
The t shirt construct wealth, the hustle, the scrapper. Construct wealth.
Jared: All proper. That is perhaps a little bit of a stretch.
Spencer: It
Jared: construct the wealth. I do not know. The catalytic converters, you already know, it would not take a lot of these to, to
Spencer: equal what blogs are placing out today. Yeah. Yeah. I imply, you bought magnets, sweatshirts.
So I assumed this was form of humorous. I do not know if he is promoting any merch, however like there have to be. You recognize, hus, scrap hustlers. I suppose. So
Jared: here is a, here is a query again to the unique query you had for me. Will they arrive, will they, will they line up somebody that may come decide up my medal and pay me for it?
I get it most likely for a much less of a price, however can they line up a scrapper who needs to come back to my yard? ‘trigger I nonetheless acquired that copper in my yard 4 years later. ‘trigger after all I have never performed something with it. . I most likely, uh, if it is of a sure, that may be good too. Think about if I may pay as a scrapper to get leads on scrapping spots or scrapping locations.
Spencer: There you go. I prefer it. You bought a giant truck and all you are doing is you already know, you are loading stuff
Jared: Proper now you are counting on appropriate me if i am unsuitable It sounds such as you put plenty of thought on this you are counting on simply driving by a pile of scrap However what if the scrap leads got here to
Spencer: you? That is even higher.
That is even higher Um, you already know, I do know that I imply a a giant a part of scrapping is automobiles proper, um, though This has acquired to be a typo. I simply seen this up within the header. It says promote cats Oh So catalytic converters. I assumed it was automobile. I assumed it was automobiles as the entire. I am embarrassed to say I do know
Jared: that.
And no, it isn’t for the explanations you assume, however yeah, yeah, proper. Uh huh.
Spencer: Um, and it is
Jared: perceived that podcast is not paying the payments, Spencer. What can I say?
Spencer: A bit of aspect hustle that you have not instructed us about. Um, however automobiles are a giant factor, proper? So like I did principally have a junk automobile. Proper. At one level in my life the place I principally had the junkyard come and decide it up.
And, and so they, they did come decide it up. I did a name with a man on the telephone and stated, Hey, you wish to scrap my automobile? And he stated, certain, I will come decide it up. Proper. So I am, I assume there’s some form of pickup service.
Jared: Yeah. That is a complete, I imply, your automobile will get totaled. You possibly can both have a, given to a junkyard, you’ll be able to scrap it for elements, proper?
Like that is form of what they confer with. Like you’ll be able to unload the person elements and other people purchase. Outdated junk automobiles as a result of they will shortly consider how a lot the elements scrapped, pulled off, and individually offered are price versus the entire automobile itself at that
Spencer: level.
Jared: Yep, precisely.
Spencer: So I, I severe manner of doing enterprise to a, to a man that then scrapped it out and possibly most likely
Jared: use this web site then to determine the place to take the catalytic converter out of your automobile.
Spencer: That is precisely proper. That is precisely proper. So, um, I, I simply, I discover it form of an enchanting, cool, uh, web site, you already know, Hey, it is form of like, um, you already know, checking the inventory market. What is the scrap costs for the whole lot. I will go to the current web page and, uh, See if I, see if I acquired a cash maker right here on the aspect of the street.
Jared: That is enjoyable. I like that. I, I agree with you. Um, it is a bit like, um, I do not know the group in any respect, however simply speaking it out. You are proper. There’s positively like a group round scrapping scrap metallic. And that is simply, once more, we have talked on and on and on about this on the podcast, like form of keying in on I will even say like most likely a considerably passionate group, you already know?
Spencer: Yeah, no, completely. I imply, I, I imply, I do not, I do not know the way a lot cash a few of these guys are making, however yeah, should you’re actually hustling, like why not make a reputation for your self? You get all of the leads, you get all of the scrap.
Jared: Superb. All proper. Nicely,
Spencer: all proper. What do you bought for
Jared: us, Jared? I’ve a bizarre one.
Uh, this was shared by a listener. Thanks very a lot. Um, the, uh, the location is named, uh, dwell sprint oasis. com. Uh, it it is, it is, uh, it is a lot to speak about with this web site. So I hope, I hope I do not go on. It seems like we even have a bit of little bit of time right here. We, we. Um, principally it is, it is, it is centered across the thought of, have you learnt what’s in your water?
90 % it says on the, above the fold right here on the homepage, 90 % of your water sources include toxins, microplastic and different contaminants. And so you’ll be able to principally search the, Rankings the toxicity report for, I imagine, nearly each model of water firm on the market, you already know, um, and so they have it, I imagine, listed in alphabetic order there, however they do not have, or they really, they name it the bottom rated bottled water.
Um, uh, and so that you form of, you already know, search aquafina or, you already know, no matter you need there. In addition they. Will price the water that comes out of the faucet in varied municipalities, uh, Denver, Colorado, Lansing, Michigan, Honolulu, Hawaii, Minneapolis, Minnesota. So that they have form of two sides to their web site and, uh, you already know, so you’ll be able to form of get just like the toxicity report in your favourite, uh, bottled water firm after which for the locale that you simply dwell in.
Now, Spencer, as you are already discovering, there may be not so much you will get from this web site. Not with out logging in of some sort. There is a paywall, I imply, for the whole lot, like nothing is unpaywalled. So I form of needed to make the choice, how a lot do I actually wish to discuss this web site? So I went forward and, uh, uh, entered my electronic mail handle there.
You do not have to enroll to pay. You simply acquired to offer them your electronic mail handle. To see the outcomes. So that you assume, no, you give them their electronic mail handle. They electronic mail you a affirmation. You affirm, and then you definately nonetheless cannot see something. That is all proper. Yeah. I truly put a screenshot within the, uh, within the, uh, within the agenda there.
I ought to’ve instructed you about that forward of time, however, um, so it is, It is actually, uh, I’d say that this web site is lengthy on prospect, good in some ways when you consider, you already know, I’ve by no means actually spent a lot time researching the water sources I drink and I’d, I’d be fascinated to spend 10, quarter-hour diving into that.
And it is lengthy on these concepts and really brief on the, uh, on the, uh, implementation of them, not nice but on the implementation. What you are able to do once you get by means of all that’s improve your well being by spending 5 a month to have entry to all these items. Now, Spencer, to me, this does not seem to be one thing I will be researching on an ongoing foundation.
It seems like one thing I will do as soon as. Proper. I am gonna be like, how’s my water in San Diego? Cool. It is unhealthy. All proper. I acquired to place a water filter in or, you already know, proper. Get my query, resolve my downside, transfer on. Like I am not a water snob. I am not likely inquisitive about studying ongoing. Awkwafina. How unhealthy is it?
It is unhealthy. Okay. Ought to I swap to Fuji? Okay. Or, you already know, what Fiji, no matter it’s. Proper. And so I simply really feel like their enterprise mannequin of charging you on a month-to-month subscription foundation for data. I form of anticipated to already get without spending a dime might be not changing too effectively but.
Spencer: Yeah, I are likely to agree.
I am making an attempt to consider who’s going to pay 5 a month to know that Agua Vida has this many microplastics, fluoride, pH, et cetera. Who who’s going to pay for that.
Jared: So that is a kind of issues the place, and we see it so much in life and we most likely all made this error the place we form of have what they name product market match misalignment.
And possibly I am unsuitable. However I do not assume the product market match right here is dialed in. Let’s speak in regards to the web site itself. Let’s discuss like, you already know, a number of the different issues we like to speak about. Proper. Trigger I do assume this half’s fairly fascinating. So that is, um, that is, uh, uh, uh, from what I can inform, this web site’s a month previous.
So in ICANN, it was registered in March of 2024. Okay. Model new. Yeah. Now, uh, it is, it is a DR 0. 9, however it’s rising quick. It already ranks for a number of hundred key phrases. Which is nice. What’s, what’s Google rating? Like paywalled content material? I do not get it. However they’re rating all these direct queries that folks have.
And so it is tremendous fascinating that after a month, it is, it is acquired plenty of key phrases. It does. So I needed to instantly say like, okay, what is going on on? So I needed to pull this into archive. org to see, are they working off of a, like an age area right here? I imply, it is a DR 0. 9. So no matter it’s, would not is not a lot.
And, uh, yeah, I imply, not that it is having any impression, however this area does have a earlier historical past. It has been round in suits and begins since 2004. Uh, and it wasn’t even an English web site again then. For those who have a look at a few of that stuff from, yeah, from again in 04 and 05, uh, it got here again on-line in 07 and 08 had a bit of temporary stint again on-line, 2010 and 11.
Uh, we had a bit of bit within the mid 2010s after which we now have this web site launching once more.
Spencer: Appears Japanese or one thing like that. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Okay. Attention-grabbing.
Jared: So, um, you already know, I believe general, like, fascinating web site. It is paywalling principally the whole lot. It is popping out of the gates rating like loopy. It is acquired this lengthy historical past.
Not. Strong, however it’s acquired all types of various makes use of over time, however a bizarre area of interest, what a bizarre web site. What a bizarre venture.
Spencer: I agree. It’s a little bit bizarre. And I’ve to surprise, like, are they pulling in plenty of this information simply mechanically from someplace? Like, did they actually undergo and Do that large examine or one thing to get all of this information or is, is there just a few massive useful resource that already has this and so they’re simply programmatically form of populating all these items?
Jared: Yeah. You recognize, they’re about pages. Um, uh, fairly gentle suffice to say, would not actually say, would not actually inform you a lot. Um, uh, the, uh, the FAQs, there’s a part for you. I did discover this. For those who click on FAQ within the backside, does it handle your precise query? The place do you get your information from? For these of you not watching on the display screen, it says, Uh, don’t be concerned, it will not take me lengthy to say it.
We get our information from science backed analysis papers, official water testing studies, non revenue analysis facilities like EWG, and from main scientific consultants.
Spencer: Sounds actually, actually official there.
Jared: Very
Spencer: imprecise. Sure.
Jared: It is all of the issues Google doesn’t need us to do anymore.
Spencer: They usually do use affiliate hyperlinks to fund this venture.
Jared: So, Aquafina is horrible, do not buy it, however if you wish to, here is our affiliate hyperlink. Is that form of what you are saying? Yeah, may as effectively.
Spencer: Yeah. Would possibly as effectively click on right here. So, fascinating. Okay. Alright. Um, it is fascinating {that a} listener urged this to you. I requested them, is there a web site, as a result of I am like, I do not wish to be, and so they stated no.
They
Jared: stated ha ha,
Spencer: no. Okay. That, That was my query. I figured that is proper. You are
Jared: going with that.
Spencer: They actually simply come throughout this within the wild. I imply, it is model new. They will need to have randomly searched one among these key phrases or one thing. Nicely,
Jared: they’re rating. I imply, I do not know why but.
Spencer: Mm-Hmm.
Jared: you, you wouldn’t again to Sundar pinchy, uh, line, you wouldn’t get the reply you are searching for should you got here to this web site.

Jared: I imply, once more, flipping the mannequin on its head a bit. You recognize, what if as an alternative of doing this, you could possibly use that information and floor it.
So as an alternative of, uh, as a result of clearly like both they’re in a really untapped area of interest or, um, uh, you already know, there, there’s not very a lot competitors or one thing. There’s not very many good solutions right here, however like they’re already rating out of the gates for lots of key phrases. So what about offering that data after which discovering methods down the street?
When you form of perceive the consumer journey that persons are on to monetize, Moderately than getting the whole lot, you already know, prefer it’s nearly like that is nearly in some ways. And once more, I do not wish to be too presumptuous, however it’s nearly just like the anti method, like, you already know, however, however good thought in an trade or a distinct segment that is clearly has tons of alternative.

That is going to provide the finest water ever. I imply, um, there’s so many angles. Uh, I believe, you already know, I believe that, however I really feel like each time I am touchdown on something, this web page goes to rank for it as a result of I wish to know if my water is sweet and if it isn’t, I wish to resolve it. So do not cost me for that.
Cost me for the
Spencer: resolution. Precisely. And so, yeah, it does make you surprise how lengthy they will be rating in Google with restricted data. You recognize, if individuals go and get no data, they only bounce again. And I do not assume Google likes that. So
Jared: we all know they do not like
Spencer: it now. Nicely, uh, yeah, we’ll must put, um, a word or one thing of like, okay, in six months, let’s check out this.
