Say what you want but I’m happy for her.

There is a lot of anxiety around AI, and many of us, Millennials, are at a strange crossroads. We were very young in the early years of the internet and social media, and we jumped right in, explored its strange corners, built our identities with the help of online communities, and were excited about the future of technology. Twenty years later, it seems the online world we were once obsessed with has been taken over by a new tech on the block that is expansive and domineering, and it has started to overwhelm, swallow, and replace us. Maybe I'm just a nostalgic Millennial…

Are the developers at Outlook happy with their search function?

@drewdoesmarktng @aleyda @SiteGround amazing, thanks for the update! Adding this to my to-do list for my sites too.

@rachelferrigno @aleyda @SiteGround They did for me, but it took a few tickets/live chats, I can confirm, however, that all of my websites and my client/collaboration websites are now allowing AI web crawlers

🚨 SEOs & Marketers: Beware that some hosting platforms are blocking AI crawlers by default without alerting website owners. I detected yesterday that this was happening with the hosting of a couple of my sites after validating that there were server connection refusal errors to AI bots. I got in touch and their support explained me that: "The growth of AI tools has led to a higher demand for content to train models and make predictions. While some AI companies are clear about their web scraping bots, others are not and the volume of requests from these AI bots and crawlers is too significant to be ignored. To handle this, we’ve added AI bots to a list, which completely blocks their traffic to reduce unwanted load on the sites." While I can understand these reasons, especially if the business model of the sites rely on content access, is also critical that hosting providers are clear about this to their customers rather than blocking by default without alerting and allowing customers to easily opt-out and/or configure which AI crawlers to allow. Thankfully, this was quickly solved; and as you can see in the screenshots, all AI crawlers but the ClaudeBot (which I need to follow up further about) are now allowed to crawl to these sites after requesting it. If you haven't recently checked if AI crawlers are able to crawl or not your site pages, go and check asap! It's also fundamental to start monitoring your server log files closely. You can use free AI bots crawl checkers for a quick validation: maxbraglia.com/ai-bot-analyzer

@drewdoesmarktng @aleyda @SiteGround are there any updates on this regarding SiteGround? Are they allowing us to request to unblock them on a manual site-by-site basis?

@aleyda Looks like @SiteGround is blocking AI crawlers, I just checked my site and all my client sites. Also found this: theseocommunity.com/resources/best… Anyone using SG, beware… if they don’t allow this feature to be configurable soon, I’m gonna have to migrate like 20 sites lol.

Toxic trait is that I wear shorts that are too short for an elder millennial mother of two even though my own mother tells me I shouldn’t
