Why AI Detection Tools Fail at Measuring Value [OPINION]

May 22, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

AI detection, Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyscape, Writer.com, Basil Puglisi, content strategy, false positives

AI detection platforms promise certainty, but what they really deliver is confusion. Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyscape, and Writer.com all claim to separate human writing from synthetic text. The idea sounds neat, but the assumption behind it is flawed. These tools dress themselves up as arbiters of truth when in reality they measure patterns, not value. […]

Yahoo Deliverability Shake-Up & Multi-Engine SEO in a Privacy-First World

May 5, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Yahoo SEO Yandex Bing

April reshaped both inboxes and search results. Yahoo’s long-anticipated enforcement of stricter deliverability standards disrupted email campaigns worldwide, shifting filtering from IP-based checks to domain reputation. At the same time, privacy-first search engines like DuckDuckGo continued to capture attention as users sought alternatives to data-heavy platforms, while Google’s Privacy Sandbox reinforced that cookie deprecation is […]

SEO Map: Core Updates, AI Overviews, and Bing’s New Copilot

April 7, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

March delivered one of the most complex search environments in recent memory. Google launched its first core update of the year, a global rollout that stretched across two weeks and triggered ranking volatility across multiple verticals. The update underscored a reality Google itself has made clear: recovery is not guaranteed, and quality signals must be […]

Ethical Compliance & Quality Assurance in the AI Stack

Compliance is no longer a checkbox buried in policy decks. It shows up in the draft you are about to publish, the image that slips into a campaign, and the audit that decides if your team keeps trust intact. February made that clear. Claude 3.5 Sonnet added compliance features that turn E-E-A-T checks into a […]

February didn’t bring an official core update, but volatility still shook search. From Google Business Profile review bugs to AI Overviews lawsuits, marketers confronted a search environment where visibility and trust depend more on authority than ever. Bing, meanwhile, refined its Webmaster Tools, underscoring how secondary engines matter as Google’s market share dips below 90%. […]

Content scales. But not by itself. Someone maps the workflow, someone else cleans the drafts, and everyone feels the squeeze when output jumps. January sharpened that reality. OpenAI, xAI, HeyGen, Synthesia, Jasper, Writesonic, and ContentShake all promise faster, cheaper, smarter. The decks look neat. Real campaigns are messier. Always a trade. Always a negotiation. Efficiency […]

February 3, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

January arrives with turbulence in local rankings, the permanent disappearance of Bing’s cache link, and a surge in AI-driven search features that accelerate the rise of zero-click SERPs. For SEOs, the lesson is clear: visibility no longer guarantees traffic, and diagnostic habits must evolve. These shifts emphasize agility in technical SEO and the need to […]

Every December feels like a reset point. Teams take stock of tools, budgets, and the results that got them here. This year the conversation is not about picking “one good AI tool” but about whether you can assemble a stack that keeps speed, trust, and compliance intact. Claude 3.5 Sonnet now anchors that conversation. It […]

Search engines close 2024 with a double punch: Google launches both a core update and a spam update in December, while Bing removes cache links and accelerates with new AI models. For SEO practitioners, these shifts set the tone for 2025 — content quality, crawlability, and multi-engine diversification are no longer optional. What happens in […]
