A question about <lastmod> in a sitemap index file. If a referenced URL is removed from a sitemap, should the <lastmod> of the sitemap in the index file be updated too? There isn't anything new for Google to see in that sitemap, so it feels a bit odd.

One for @johnmu.com or @methode.bsky.social ?

Can I get some accessibility guidance? On a page that lists articles, such as the BBC News homepage (www.bbc.co.uk/news), should each image include alt text? Or is that actually bad? Do readers instead need/want the alt text to be blank so the screen reader can move on to just reading the headlines?

Or ranking for a load more terms, but low enough on page 1 to not get clicks.

What is the environmental cost of Google's AI Overview Searches? | Matt Tutt Between March and April Google began rolling out their AI Overview search results in the UK. These have largely already been rolled out elsewhere, including across the US and Europe. Speaking to my UK...

I've been thinking about the environmental cost of Google's AI Overview searches. I don't have any concrete data on this, yet, I have decided to write a short piece on the topic.

I hope to find (steal?) such data (eg carbon emissions, water usage per query)

Was this seen for all 20 of them? Or are there some more serious losers in the pack dragging down the average?

Being a mediocre, forgettable publication is a death sentence. You need to stand out and produce content worth consuming, worth subscribing to, and worth paying for. Anything less than that, and you will find yourself drowning in an ocean of GenAI mediocrity.
