This article aims to get you started creating linkable content so you can build a natural link profile in less time. Let's start by defining a linkable asset. Creating a linkable asset that publishers, bloggers, and general websites will leverage can reduce outreach time and even earn links without any outreach. Although these pieces are time-consuming to create, they can reduce the overall time to find links. An asset can be a complex research study or a simple Excel template to organize planning. Next time you're launching a link building campaign, create a piece that is easily linkable. | | | Generative AI, News By Kristi Hines The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (N.T.I.A.), an agency within the United States Department of Commerce, requested public comments on policies to promote accountability for trustworthy artificial intelligence (A.I.) systems.

Accountability mechanisms like audits, impact assessments, and certifications could help provide assurance that A.I. systems met trustworthy standards. However, the N.T.I.A. noted there were still challenges and complexities in implementing effective accountability. | | | | | Webinar By Search Engine Journal Michael Scott, Paid Ads Marketing Strategist at Manticore Marketing, together with CallRail's Product Marketing Manager, Amelia Northrup-Simpson, will discuss ways you can Google ads along with other tracking systems to start optimizing your offline activity.

For an experience focused on privacy that is also dedicated to delivering quality search results, try Startpage. It feels a lot like what a search engine should be like: smart but general and not too invasive. And, despite more than a dozen commendable search engines defecting or merging into bigger players over the years, there are some (other than Google) that have continued to withstand the test of time and attract millions of searches every month.
