E932: I break down the most interesting marketing opportunities I'm seeing right now and why they matter if you care about getting in early.
We start with the Digg relaunch and why, despite recent crackdowns on obvious SEO spam, it's still one of the most compelling platforms to pay attention to. I explain what's changed since the first Digg episode, which niches are being targeted, which ones are not, and how non-SEO brands can still use Digg effectively for long-term marketing and visibility.
Next, we cover the announcement of ads coming to ChatGPT. I walk through OpenAI's stated ad principles, what this likely means for AI SEO, and why ads probably won't influence model responses. I also talk about the opportunity window that tends to open when a major platform launches ads and why early experimentation often matters more than perfect execution.
Finally, I share real results from the recent press kit episode and explain why every serious marketing or SEO strategy should include one. We look at how press kits affect backlinks, topical authority, and brand searches, and why journalists rely on them more than most people realize.
