Spreadsheet showing various inputs used to forecast expected AI traffic at a 95% confidence interval. The chart shows in this example, to expect between 10,342 and 11,431 sessions from AI sources over the next 90 days.

I'm working on a basic data model to project AI traffic (sessions) a website can expect over the next 90 days based on the previous 90 days.

For now, this is manual effort. If you're interested in test driving it, let me know. The example uses actual client data. I'm be monitoring for accuracy.

Title says "HOW TARIFFS WORK:" Image: A caricature of Donald Trump urinating Infront of a fan with a red maple leaf on it. The urine stream is being blown back into the face of Donald Trump.Lower right is the signature of the artist (Bruce MacKinnon:) who created it.

The U.S. trade war with Canada & Mexico will hurt everyone. Tariffs raise costs, shift jobs, and spark retaliation—like Ontario cutting $1B+ in U.S. alcohol imports. Less trade means fewer choices, less innovation, & higher prices long-term. This won’t help consumers. Thoughts?

Why UX is critical to digital marketing | MarTech UX design strategist Jared Spool explains that experience can't be divorced from product and service.

@jmspool.bsky.social posted "UX should be part of your digital marketing strategy. Failure to incorporate UX into campaigns, typically results in poorer performing campaigns which could have been much better. Experience can't be divorced from product & service."

image reads "SEO is not rocket science. It is, however, search science. Spitballing tactics may work. Good luck with that. Top left corner of image features my stylized "owl", in a two-tone blue design and big, inquisitive eyes. This is my business logo. Bottom right is a headshot of me in the late 70s, with a massively large "afro" styling to my naturally very curly hair. I'm sporting a big mustache, thick sideburns, and I'm wearing a large collared silk shirt.

PRO SEO TIP

Stop guessing at what you need, to rank. Understand only a proper audit will identify tasks worth pursuing.

SEO is not rocket science.

It is, however, search science.

Spitballing things to do may work. Good luck with that.

Who's interested?

Not sure but have heard rumours of it happening.

What a great idea!

Question for the great mines here!

May of us have abandon X/Twitter over the past year+.

I know not to delete my account as I don't want some spammer grabbing it etc.

My question is, how often should I post something to keep the account active? I'm worried if it goes inactive, it will be cald.
