Show Notes

Episode Summary

As AI-powered search results answer more queries directly, the traditional click-through model is under pressure. David Rodnitzky shares insights on how performance marketers should adapt.

The Problem

Google’s AI Overviews and similar features are answering user queries without requiring a click. This has massive implications for:

  • Affiliate marketers relying on search traffic
  • Content publishers monetizing through ads
  • Anyone whose business model depends on clicks

What to Do About It

David and Keith discuss strategies for thriving in a post-click world, including diversification, brand building, and rethinking attribution models.
