Why e-commerce and UGC are crushing for SEO while affiliate sites are dying, and MEI (Merit, Excellence, Intelligence) vs DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion)
July 04, 2024

In episode #2772, we discuss the shift in search engine results pages (SERPs) from displaying more affiliate product review content to more e-commerce and user-generated content (UGC). This shift makes more sense for users who want to see the best products and make a purchase directly. We also touch on the topic of hiring based on merit and diversity, with contrasting responses from different platforms.
