John Shehata joins me on the latest edition of the Endless Coffee Cup podcast. We look into the impact of search generative experiences, AI, and the changing landscape for publishers. Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:
1. Artificial Intelligence and SGE Impact on Publishers

Publishers are seeing a shift in their revenue streams due to Google's focus on AI-generated content, especially affecting ad revenue and display ads.

To counter these challenges, publishers are exploring alternative revenue models, such as subscriptions, commerce revenue, and building direct relationships with users.

2. The Changing Landscape for Publishers

The industry is experiencing significant shifts, and publishers need to adapt to new methods and tools to stay ahead of trending topics and seize opportunities effectively.

Real-time SEO tools, like Newsdash, are helping publishers identify missed opportunities and low-hanging fruits, aiding them in creating content that resonates and drives traffic.

3. The Future of Publishing and SEO

As publishers navigate through these transformative times, the next 5-10 years will be crucial in shaping the future of the industry.

Direct relationships with users, leveraging email marketing, and tracking Google Discover feeds are becoming essential strategies for publishers to build and retain their audience.


John and I explored these topics, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities for publishers in an ever-evolving digital landscape. Grab a cup of coffee and join us on this episode of the Endless Coffee Cup.
