Google: Search Console Delay Won’t Affect Ranking
Googles official Search Console account posted on LinkedIn about a disruption in the Page Index Report, causing unusually long delays in the page indexing data. The message notes this is a general issue on Google's side and does not impact crawling, indexing, or ranking of pages. It further states the problem is not listed as an incident in the Google Search Status Dashboard, which documents Core Updates, Serving or Indexing Issues. For site owners, the report reassures that indexing and ranking should remain unaffected by this outage and frames it as a temporary platform-side disruption rather than a change to search algorithms.

OpenAI defends advertising in ChatGPT for humanity's benefit
At Advertising Week New York, OpenAI's VP of monetization partnerships, Samantha Jacobson, defended the company's move to introduce ads in ChatGPT, framing it as a way to make AGI benefits accessible to all, since not everyone can pay for subscriptions. She emphasized consumer trust as paramount, even at the expense of revenue, and contrasted ChatGPT's intent-based advertising with traditional demographic targeting, which she called 'creepy.' OpenAI's ad business has grown rapidly: ads launched in February, a self-serve ad manager in the US in May, and by late August reached a $1 billion annualized run rate, with tens of thousands of advertisers in over 40 countries. The company reportedly targets $2.5 billion in ad revenue this year and $100 billion by 2030. Jacobson's comments come amid broader industry skepticism about ad-funded models and privacy concerns.
