  every untapped google ads strategy i know, from easiest to most degenerate (most brands are running maybe two of these) 1. the low-friction front end offer. free trial or a cheap intro product on your shopping listing while every competitor shows a $40 price tag. wins the click on price perception, then upsells into bundles and subscription rebills on the back end. lumin does $1M/mo on this exact structure 2. sending search traffic to advertorials instead of product pages. cold CVR roughly doubles in every niche i've tested it 3. sending SHOPPING traffic to a comparison page for high-consideration products. everyone assumes shopping goes straight to the PDP. for anything above $150 AOV it doesn't have to 4. quiz funnels on demand gen traffic. each question is a micro-commitment. by question five they're invested enough that leaving feels like abandoning something 5. native ads. discover feed, gmail promotions, MSN placements. they look like content, so the scepticism reflex never fires. CTRs run 2-5x standard display 6. VSLs and long-form sales copy for high ticket. the depth itself signals authority 7. conquest campaigns on competitor brand names, pointed at a comparison page 8. bing. same campaigns, one-click import, 20-40% lower CPCs, older and wealthier buyer now the one almost nobody outside europe knows about > double CSS on shopping normally your store enters the shopping auction through ONE comparison shopping service. one route, one placement opportunity per search connect through two CSS providers and google now has two separate routes for your products to enter the same auction so a shopping row that looked like: competitor, competitor, you, competitor becomes: you, competitor, you, competitor and the part that makes CSS genuinely broken: google shopping europe deducts a fixed margin from your bid BEFORE it enters the auction. roughly 20%. independent CSS partners don't have that margin bid €1.00 through google shopping, about €0.80 competes. bid €1.00 through an independent CSS, the full €1.00 competes same invoice. ~25% more auction power this exists because the european commission forced google to open the auction after the antitrust ruling DM me "EDGE" if you want these built into your account amin

  Tern sync used to take ~20 seconds. Now it's roughly one 🫡 The trick was asking for less. Before, every check would fetch folder lists, old threads and a pile of mailbox data that hadn't changed at all. Now Tern just asks "what's new?" It grabs the latest mail, pulls in what's needed and gets out of the way. The heavy stuff (folder structure, backfilling old mail) happens quietly in the background. It also adapts to what you're doing: Looking at it? Checks every 5 seconds Inactive tab? Slows down to save battery New mail mid-check? Checks again straight away Gmail, Outlook and IMAP all sync in parallel, so multiple accounts still feel like one inbox. Small change on paper. But the inbox finally feels alive 👀

  @AayushGTM0 @TeamYouTube My friend, all my channels are linked to a single Gmail and AdSense account. I think that's where the problem lies. Dozens of people are breaking this chain by linking to the same AdSense account with different Gmail addresses, but they're giving me extra penalties. Using different Gmail addresses is ridiculous; a Gmail account can be created in 30 seconds. Also, as far as I know, changing the phone number isn't possible. Or maybe I'm wrong.

  @TechnicallyTee I set my calendar to sync to my gmail account. It syncs between Apple’s Calendar app and Google Calendar. Never had any problems. Just make sure all of your events that you want to sync are added to the calendar under that email address and they’ll show up on Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and even Windows if you set it up to.

  The scammers are getting better (well, maybe not better but smoother and more polished). Just got an email from a person who claimed to be an executive and senior editor for W. W. Norton -- an actual publishing company based in New York. The email started by praising my latest book (not one I wrote 15 years ago, as so many have done) with enough detail to show familiarity with the content. Funny, though, it sounded like the same kind of glowing praise for my work I get from ChatGPT (wonder if that's what the scammers are using to summarize books). Said they want to talk to me about "my broader body of work and the projects I might currently have underway" and noted that if I have an agent they would "be happy to continue through them." Gee... sounds great, doesn't it? Couple of problems, though. I actually went to Norton's website to see what they publish. It's a broad range of stuff but includes ZERO science fiction or fantasy. Further, Norton must be aware of what's going on because their website has a page warning about publishing scams and advising that any emails from them will come from their email domain -- first thing I checked, as I do with any suspicious emails, and this one didn't. But hey, like I said, smoother than usual -- this one didn't come from gmail or yahoo or any of those, just a domain that was a permutation of the sender's name. It was very nicely written, though, no problems with spelling or grammar, not demanding or promising anything, just a "we like your work; let's talk." It also reeked of AI generation. Like I tell everybody... I have no problem with AI technology, actually think it's pretty awesome. I just don't like the way people are using it.

  The spirit of Spirit just sold for $10 million Google is buying Spirit Airlines' data out of bankruptcy. Emails, internal communications, spreadsheets, bookings, frequent flyer and HR records, all de-identified, for $10 million. Judge Sean Lane rules on the sale Wednesday. The obvious read is that Google wants more data. But de-identified data doesn't work for advertising, since you can't target someone you can't name, and Google already sees more airfare information through Google Flights than Spirit ever generated internally. An airline that went under in May is also a strange place to look for pricing wisdom. What's worth buying is the internal material. The emails and the spreadsheets they reference record how work moved through the company: a question gets asked, a document gets built, a decision gets made, a system gets updated. Consumer text is everywhere, and records of how an organization actually functions are not, which is what you need if you want models that operate inside workflows rather than talk about them. Google's own statement uses the word enterprise, and the runner-up bid of $7.5 million came from Mercor, a company whose entire business is sourcing training data for AI labs. When the second bidder isn't another airline, the market has told you what was being priced. The strange part is that Google isn't short on this data at all. It runs Gmail and Workspace and sits on possibly the largest collection of business correspondence in the world, and it has promised enterprise customers it will not train on their content, which is not a promise it can quietly break. So it has the material and no permission to use it. What $10 million buys is clean title, a court approved dataset nobody can sue over, at a moment when everyone else is defending scraping claims. Dead companies can agree to things live ones can't. Any of this is worth paying for because the public supply is running down. Epoch AI's 2024 analysis put the stock of quality public human text at roughly 300 trillion tokens and projected it would be consumed between 2026 and 2032, a window that opens this year, and access has closed faster since than the arithmetic alone suggests. A census of the top 100,000 domains this July found 19.1% blocking at least one AI crawler, and in September Cloudflare begins blocking mixed use crawlers by default across its entire free tier. Private operational records are the obvious next reserve, and they are almost untouched. Epoch left them out of its estimate because private data is fragmented and legally too messy to use at scale, which is precisely the condition a bankruptcy court removes. That makes Wednesday's ruling more interesting than the sale. If it goes through, every bankruptcy from here has a new asset to offer, and the value will depend on how well documented the industry already is. A corner store has nothing worth buying, since you can watch how it works from the sidewalk. A hospital or a law firm is the opposite, because even with names removed the record shows how a case moves through the organization, who escalates what to whom, and which exceptions get made. That knowledge lives in internal systems and in people's heads and appears nowhere public. The catch is that the supply is biased toward failure, since no healthy company would sell its internal record, so every dataset that reaches the market comes from an operation that didn't work. That's useful for learning how a process runs, and much less useful for learning what good judgment looks like.

  Built something that's been quietly saving me every morning. An automation that reads my inbox before I do. I work with a US client, which means most bug reports and issues land in my email overnight, while I'm asleep. Used to mean waking up, opening Gmail, reading through everything, mentally triaging what's actually broken before I'd even had coffee. Now an @evedev_ agent connected to my Gmail runs at 8am. Goes through the night's emails, pulls out anything that's actually a reported issue or bug, and posts it into a Slack channel. From there it hands off. Another @cursor_ai agent sitting in that same Slack channel picks up what got posted, and it has access to my GitHub repo. It checks the reported issue against logs, traces it back to the actual code, debugs it, and writes up what it found. By the time I open my laptop, there's a full report waiting: what broke, where, and what the fix looks like. I've only given it read access everywhere. Not because it hasn't been reliable, it has, but because I still want to be the one reviewing and merging anything that touches the codebase. The automation does the investigating, I still make the call. Works better than I expected it to.

  @jvisserlabs For sure, Jordi. The problem here is that for most people who work in large companies, (or any company with a functional IT), it will be very challenging to use GrokBot since it is an unsanctioned tool. If I cannot connect it to my work tools (think Gmail, Microsoft Office, Teams, Slack, Salesforce, etc.), then there's no point, right? So while GrokBot sounds amazing, as it stands, it is still not in a position to win the enterprise. It can win over solo entrepreneurs or people who use it for personal reasons, but right now I would love to use it, but I don't want to get fired for it.

  But it will slow them down. The best practices are honed ones. Salted email is sorta okay for Gmail but I'm not sure if other providers allow that. Keeping your real name disassociated with your online profiles is a Best Practice.

  The point that needs to be made loud and clear about David Morens pleading guilty to conspiracy to cover up communications about the origins of Covid is that this was not some scheme run by underlings operating around Fauci. It goes straight to Fauci himself, and we have the documentary evidence to prove it. They may never charge him, and will presumably point to the pardon as the reason while prosecuting only the underlings, but that does not change the underlying facts. One particularly egregious example is the email chain below. Peter Daszak first reaches out to Morens about how to deal with the fallout from EcoHealth being blamed for failures connected to Fauci's grant to the Wuhan lab. Daszak plainly does not want to be left holding the bag. In the next email, Morens reports that he has discussed the problem with Fauci. Even more revealingly, the group is also making sure that Erik Stemmy, the NIH program officer responsible for Fauci's Wuhan grant has his story straight. Then, in the last email in the chain, Gerald Keusch of Boston University, who served as the backchannel in these discussions to keep them outside government communications, adds that Fauci had specifically warned them about using Gmail to circumvent FOIA, because if they accessed Gmail on a government device, the communications could still be discovered. That is the point that should not get lost. This was not simply a few subordinates freelancing around Fauci. The documentary record places Fauci directly inside the discussions over the underlying grant fraud, the effort to coordinate the official story, and the mechanics of keeping communications beyond the reach of FOIA.

  @keven_ink @grok @bot If I can somehow figure out to get my email bot to attach pictures in my gmail, we'd be good to go. I keep getting an error message that it can't handle attachments over 2mb. I feel like I'm "right there" to getting this optimized. I have a small biz with high volume emails so if I can unlock this, it would be huge. I have an auto responder script that is able to draft emails in my voice. Its just the attachment piece that is clunky and spotty in terms of getting it to work.
