What was the SEO site called? Was it a directory? In 2009, it was a great era, especially if you submitted a post on Digg or StumbleUpon and it went viral. This method could easily attract a bunch of backlinks to your website and boost your traffic.

Backlinks are an important part of SEO and can either make or break your website when it comes to your site’s rankings on search engines. So, whether you’ve been building backlinks for a while or are just starting out, how many backlinks does your site have? According to my Google Search Console stats, my site currently has 14k backlinks. Most of these backlinks point to various pages on my forum, allowing each page to rank accordingly. Of course, my homepage has the most links. What about you? How many backlinks does your site have? Are you working toward a specific goal when it comes to building links?

Google has announced plans to introduce changes to its Search feature, aiming to provide clearer identification of images that have been created or modified using AI tools. Over the coming months, Google will start flagging AI-generated and AI-edited images in the “About this image” section on platforms like Google Search, Google Lens, and the Android-exclusive Circle to Search feature. These disclosures could extend to other Google platforms, such as YouTube, though more details on this will be revealed later this year. The key point is that only images containing “C2PA metadata” will be marked as AI-altered in Search. C2PA, or the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity, is working on standards to track an image's origin, including the devices and software used to capture or create it. This initiative is supported by major companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Adobe. However, as highlighted by The Verge, C2PA’s standards face adoption and compatibility issues, with only a few generative AI tools and select cameras from Leica and Sony currently supporting them. Furthermore, C2PA metadata can be removed, corrupted, or rendered unreadable, making it a less than perfect solution. Some widely-used AI tools, such as Flux (utilized by xAI's Grok chatbot for image generation), do not incorporate C2PA metadata, partly because their developers have not endorsed the standard. Despite these challenges, these measures are a step in the right direction amid the growing prevalence of deepfakes. One report estimates a 245% increase in scams using AI-generated content between 2023 and 2024. According to Deloitte, losses related to deepfakes are expected to skyrocket from $12.3 billion in 2023 to $40 billion by 2027. Public surveys also indicate that most people are worried about being misled by deepfakes and the potential of AI to spread propaganda.

Hey [mention=316]Dreamer[/mention] welcome to Agora! What are some of your favorite meals that you like to cook?

Bluesky, the social network, announced on Monday that it now boasts over 10 million users. This surge in growth is primarily due to the rapid expansion of the network in recent weeks, following the shutdown of Elon Musk's X in Brazil. “If you’re reading this, you’re one of the first 10 million users on Bluesky!” the company celebrated in a post. As a fun feature, Bluesky has an easter egg on its homepage: clicking on the celebration emoji reveals your user number, which you can share with friends. In the previous month, Brazil’s top court imposed a ban on X and penalized users attempting to access the service via VPN. Following this, social networks like Meta’s Threads and Bluesky experienced a spike in popularity, quickly climbing to the top 10 rankings in the App Store and Play Store under the social media category in Brazil. Bluesky gained 3 million users within days of the X ban, pushing its total user base beyond 9 million earlier this month. The company reported that more than 85% of new users came from Brazil. Last week, Bluesky saw record activity, leading to a few server glitches due to the high volume of new sign-ups. Bluesky, which had been operating on an invite-only basis for nearly a year, opened its platform to the public in February. Meanwhile, its competitor, Meta-owned Threads, has grown to over 200 million users. Recently, Bluesky introduced new features, including the ability to post videos and self-moderation tools, such as controlling who can quote a post, hiding replies, and muting specific words for a set period.

Hey [mention=124]gwolf666[/mention] welcome to Agora! It’s great to see you here.

You and I both. I haven’t played on a console in years; the last time I did was on the Xbox One. The regular PS5 will probably drop in price, though.

It depends on the niche. Many travel and finance blogs were hit hard by Google's core search updates over the past few months. Do you run a blog in either of these niches? What ad networks are you using on your blog?

Good luck! I hope you’re able to find some new staff.

Hey [mention=304]Ginger[/mention] welcome to Agora! How are you doing today?

You can place ads wherever you'd like with Google AdSense. However, if you choose the 'auto ads' option, Google will automatically place the ads for you. XenForo has a built-in advertisement feature that allows you to place ads wherever you'd like. In my opinion, this is the best way to monetize your forum without overwhelming it with too many ads.
