I've built a number of demos already using Bluesky's APIs, and for the most part, they're easy to use and "just work" - which is all you want from an API. That was my expectation going into this little demo, but what I was really surprised by was the fact that everything I needed to do could be done without any authentication at all. I didn't need oAuth, I didn't need an API key, I just hit public endpoints and everything just worked.
Traffic. Focusing on traffic obscures the purpose of AI answers: to satisfy a need on-site, not to generate clicks. AI-generated solutions do not typically include links to branded websites. Google's AI Overviews, for example, sometimes links product names to organic search listings. Thus visibility does not equate to traffic. A merchant's products could appear in an AI answer and receive no clicks.
Google AdSense seems to be rolling out new metrics for the AdSense reports in the console. These include Browser breakdown, Hosting App breakdown and Operating system breakdown metrics and data. Browser breakdown: You can use this breakdown to understand the browser from which your ads were viewed. It categorizes browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and "Other" browsers. Hosting App breakdown: Use this breakdown to understand the origins of your page traffic. Whether from a webview or a Non-webview source.
