This is it. Generative AI, as a commercial tech phenomenon, has reached its apex. The hype is evaporating. The tech is too unreliable, too often. The vibes are terrible. The air is escaping from the bubble. To me, the question is more about whether the air will rush out all at once, sending the tech sector careening downward like a balloon that someone blew up, failed to tie off properly, and let go—or more slowly, shrinking down to size in gradual sputters, while emitting embarrassing fart sounds, like a balloon being deliberately pinched around the opening by a smirking teenager. But come on. The jig is up. The technology that was at this time last year being somberly touted as so powerful that it posed an existential threat to humanity is now worrying investors because it is apparently incapable of generating passable marketing emails reliably enough. We’ve had at least a year of companies shelling out for business-grade generative AI, and the results—painted as shinily as possible from a banking and investment sector that would love nothing more than a new technology that can automate office work and creative labor—are one big “meh.” As a Bloomberg story put it last week, “Big Tech Fails to Convince Wall Street That AI Is Paying Off.” From the piece: Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc. had one job heading into this earnings season: show that the billions of dollars they’ve each sunk into the infrastructure propelling the artificial intelligence boom is translating into real sales. In the eyes of Wall Street, they disappointed. Shares in Google owner Alphabet have fallen 7.4% since it reported last week. Microsoft’s stock price has declined in the three days since the company’s own results. Shares of Amazon — the latest to drop its earnings on Thursday — plunged by the most since October 2022 on Friday. Silicon Valley hailed 2024 as the year that companies would begin to deploy generative AI, the type of technology that can create text, images and videos from simple prompts. This mass adoption is meant to finally bring about meaningful profits from the likes of Google’s Gemini and Microsoft’s Copilot. The fact that those returns have yet to meaningfully materialize is stoking broader concerns about how worthwhile AI will really prove to be. Meanwhile, Nvidia, the AI chipmaker that soared to an absurd $3 trillion valuation, is losing that value with every passing day—26% over the last month or so, and some analysts believe that’s just the beginning. These declines are the result of less-than-stellar early results from corporations who’ve embraced enterprise-tier generative AI, the distinct lack of killer commercial products 18 months into the AI boom, and scathing financial analyses from Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, and Elliot Management, each of whom concluded that there was “too much spend, too little benefit” from generative AI, in the words of Goldman, and that it was “overhyped” and a “bubble” per Elliot. As CNN put it in its report on growing fears of an AI bubble, Some investors had even anticipated that this would be the quarter that tech giants would start to signal that they were backing off their AI infrastructure investments since “AI is not delivering the returns that they were expecting,” D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria told CNN. The opposite happened — Google, Microsoft and Meta all signaled that they plan to spend even more as they lay the groundwork for what they hope is an AI future. This can, perhaps, explain some of the investor revolt. The tech giants have responded to mounting concerns by doubling, even tripling down, and planning on spending tens of billions of dollars on researching, developing, and deploying generative AI for the foreseeable future. All this as high profile clients are canceling their contracts. As surveys show that overwhelming majorities of workers say generative AI makes them less productive. As MIT economist and automation scholar Daron Acemoglu warns, “Don’t believe the AI hype.”

The Warhammer Preview Show: Warhammer Day 2024

twitch

I'm once again liveblogging my reaction to a Warhammer preview, and I couldn't be happier!

Why?

Because the Preview was live again!

If you've followed my Warhammer Liveblogs you know how much I hated that they moved to prerecorded live shows. And I wasn't the only one! But once again the studio has listened to the community and it looks like we've got live shows back.

This is one thing I will constantly press about Games Workshop. Being less than a billion-dollar global company, in a niche hobby, means they still have to respond to us. If we make our displeasure known for long enough, and it impacts their sales, they have to act. If even 1% of Warhammer fans don't buy the latest and greatest product that GW releases, it hurts.

It also helps that they're under UK corporate law instead of American corporate law.

And I have a feeling from some of the things I've seen on discount retailer sites, that certain big releases have been under-performing. So hopefully this is the first in some course corrections.

Give San Guard their wings back!

I'm still wondering about what's going on with how few releases have been announced for Christmas. They do seem to be pushing War of the Rohirrim more than I was expecting, so maybe they really are trying to just let releases breathe instead of smothering them. I'm wondering how Necromunda Secondus and Mechanicum performed given how they released along side Age of Sigmar 4.0.

Honestly I think that most Warhammer fans hold GW products as being the best in the market. When they start taking a downturn, we start asking why we're paying so much for them. I think GW really should go back to a slower release cadence of higher quality products. Releasing both of their major game systems back to back in essentially a beta state should not happen. There's no excuse for 10th Edition Eldar to release one summer only for 4.0 Nighthaunt to release the next. And the less said about 4.0's Regiment system the better.

All and all, I'm still really excited for this Preview. I'm not expecting too much right now, but I'm willing to be surprised. For now, just having a live Preview is enough.

Enough rambling! Onto the Preview!

Preshow

Our hosts today are veterans of the Preview shows, Alex and Nick. This was one of the first things that got me excited when I checked in on the stream after discovering WarCom was down. After some of their traditional introduction, including asking for location shout outs, Alex tells us what we've got in store. The reveals today are for Underworlds, AoS, 40K, Kill Team, and Legions. Legions in the past hasn't gotten a lot of love in these Preview shows, so I'm hoping for a little better presentation this time around.

But then Nick slyly cuts in that those are just what was announced, and we should keep our eyes pealed. I've heard some rumors already, but let's see what they actually tease for us.

Underworlds

We're starting with GW's original Skirmish game set in the Age of Sigmar. I'm still really hoping that Warcry gets some love again soon, but I'm betting Underworlds must be just slightly outperforming it.

Oh wow! So with the new edition of AoS out and the story advancing with the Vermindoom, the team has decided to release a new edition of Underworlds. And this edition looks like it will also start with a Stormcast verses Skaven box.

They're once again pushing that accessibility factor with this new edition. I will say this much, other than a few sticking points I have I don't really feel this push to accessibility has resulted in any "dumbing down" of these editions. Probably the worst offender was Kill Team 2nd, and they've undone some of that. Admittedly they pushed the worst part even more . . . Still I feel that 40K 10th and AoS 4.0 are still very tactically deep games. And that, at the end of the day, is what really matters.

And unfortunately we're probably never going to see this push to expand the audience through accessibility ever go away. Businesses in the current corporate world live and die through growth. There's only so much money GW can wring out of their current audience. There has to come a point where GW expands their audience, or investors will leave and the company will decline.

Unfortunately that's tricky to do when you also keep raising the prices of starter products.

But Underworlds has always been relatively inexpensive compared to GW's other products. It's a perfect example of creating a stepping stone into the larger hobby. Buying a board game style starter box with only a few push-fit miniatures to assemble and paint is much easier than buying and painting something like Skaventide. And GW looks to be leaning into that.

They're really throwing a lot of long looks into the miniatures and the board. Still, no matter how much time they spend here this is never as good as the bright, close-in pictures WarCom usually has later. One advantage of the Live previews is we often get to see some of those ahead of time. Hopefully Nick and Alex will focus in on some like they used to.

Here's our box reveal.

And you're making me nervous Nick. This is very similar to a lot of those prerecorded shows. Now that the reveal trailer is done I don't want to be here having someone presenting a prerecorded message on why I should want to pick this up. I want to be back in the studio, with chat, getting live impressions and active responses to questions and feedback from you and Alex. You got me excited for a live show, Nick. Don't turn this around on me.

Uh oh! It's a reset! Normally, this would have me excited. But there are two things that make me nervous here.

The first is that this game incorporates cards and deck building. If they're completely updating the rules, does that mean previous cards won't work anymore? Will we have to get new decks for any warbands we play?

The second is Kill Team. In case you didn't know, Kill Team just introduced a Standard style rotation that means that eventually your Kill Teams won't be legal in competitive play. Many classic Kill Teams already don't have rules in the new edition. Now many of those Kill Teams are still perfectly fine for casual games . . . for as long as GW writes compatible rules for them. But eventually you won't be able to play a given Kill Team without going back to a prior edition of a game. That's fine for collectors who have lots of friends going back to previous editions. But for most LGS communities, that creates a problem.

I'm guessing Underworlds will work in a similar way. I don't know if any previous Warbands will get retired, but they'll probably introduce a cut off point and then rotate out older Warbands eventually. You'll probably have to go buy a new deck for any of the older Warbands to use them in the new rules. This is all just speculation, but it's speculation based off how GW has been running their other games.

This may be a small point to some, but it's a legitimate up-sell to me. GW has gotten considerably better at creating and designing rule books. They've gotten much easier to read in recent editions of their games and much easier to use at the table. I'm hoping they continue to refine them. Also their apps have gotten better too for looking up the latest version of any given rule.

We're also going to single boards, war scrolls, and they're defining Warbands with stat systems to help you understand their play style. One thing I'm not sure of is the replacement of card art with miniature photos. I kind of liked the way the cards added some of that great GW art into the game. I'm not sure how well the various cards will depict the action if it's just still photos.

All and all the new edition looks good, but I've got questions that are going to need answered.

Back in the studio we've got some great shots of the miniatures - not sure I'm liking the sculpt around the eyes for this one - but we're not getting any community interaction yet. There's no point in these being live shows if we don't have any response to the community feedback and questions!

Hm . . . We've got them just talking over these repeating slideshows. I'd honestly prefer to just seem them sitting their and talking to each other to gauge their live reactions. And while I'll admit that this is a new edition, and there's a lot to talk about, they're kinda just going over what the presentation showed. Yes! I'm going to harp on this! I want community interaction, dammit!

Okay, here's one point answered. The starter set is going to come with four decks in it, one based on each of the now named play-styles, Strike, Take and Hold, Flex, and Mastery. These decks will be playable with any Warband. So any of the old Warbands that receives rule updates can use these decks to start with.

It looks like with other recent new editions, we'll get our first chance to see this played at a GW event. In this case it's the Tampa Open, which is next weekend! So we'll probably learn a lot about the game in the coming days.

. . .

And now we're moving into the next part of the show. No questions taken, no feedback, not even a glance at chat. I'm not happy.

Age of Sigmar

And it's just the Warhammer Day miniature. We've already seen this. It's a pretty cool looking miniature to be sure, but why are we covering it here?

My hype is draining away.

Same thing with the Darkoath. Though this looks like it might be a box set, and that means it might have some new miniatures.

Oh! While they didn't show it, this is the announcement for the Slaves to Darkness Battletome. I did miss that this box set is the Darkoath Spearhead. So this will be our first big release for AoS 4.0 following Skaventide.

We're getting a new release for a Sorcerer Lord outside of the Warhammer Day model. This one sounds like it will have a few options for it. Hopefully we'll see these on WarCom.

And here's our Battletome reveal! It sounds like they're doubling down on how little changed between the Skaven Index and Battletomes. This is potentially bad as some of the AoS armies need some real changes.

We are getting a new Army of Renown, Be'lakor's Legion of the First Prince. So hopefully that will bring something interesting for AoS players to experiment with. It's my understanding though that Regiments of Renown aren't seeing much play right now. But we can wait and see.

Speaking of! We've got a nice rules preview here of a new Regiment of Renown that can be included in any most of the god-aligned Chaos factions. The Daemon Prince gets to keep it's Gift of Chaos that it would have claimed in an S2D army and gets the relevant faction Keyword too. However, I can't imagine spending a drop on this the way AoS 4 currently plays, unless they change how drops work in the next rules update.

Battleforces

They didn't mention any universe transition, just that big boxes are on the way soon. My guess is this is our first look at the holiday boxes, which will probably included both 40K and AoS, maybe Old World if we're lucky.

These are all themed after detachments. The Tau box is obscured, but we saw it earlier in the preview, and is the Retaliation Cadre. This means that this is probably a sneaky reveal of one of the new Imperial Knight Detachments, the Valourstrike Lance. Though that sounds suspiciously like it might be a rename for the Noble Lance.

I'll note that none of these battleforces are Chaos themed. We've got three Imperial battleforces and two Xenos. But there looks like there's a lot of value in these kits. That Tau box has a Riptide in it, the Knights have a Paladin and four Armigers, the Sisters comes with two vehicles and a pair of Penitent Engines, the Necrons get the Void Dragon, and the Dark Angels get The Lion. I'm not gonna add everything up here, since I can't see exactly what everything is, but that's over $300 worth of Knights.

And just as I suspected, we immediately go into AoS boxes.

We're only getting four here, Maggotkin, Cities, Iron Jaws, and Flesh-Eaters. One for each Grand Alliance. These don't appear to be based on any Regiments or Armies. And I'm not seeing anything popping out at me for high value items.

These are indeed our holiday boxes. As with recent years, these are designed to go along with the intro boxes. So if you get a Combat Patrol or Spearhead alongside one of these, you'll have a pretty decent collection. Whether they match well with previous Battleforce launch boxes, I'd have to check. But at the very least, I know the Dark Angels one didn't have The Lion in it.

They're saying they're supposed to match Regiments in AoS. I only checked Iron Jaws, but looking through the others they also don't match any current Regiments. So these might be renames or new Regiments coming in the Battletomes.

Hah! They even just mentioned that the Cities of Sigmar force can represent different Regiments! So maybe there wasn't any actual consideration made there at all.

They also just brought up that there's duplication with the Morbheg Knights. So not so good there for the AoS portions either.

Warhammer Armoury

They tease that no one knows about this reveal yet. But it's an Officially Licensed product, so outside of games I'm not sure how much interest there will be.

Warhammer Armory! Okay, you have my attention.

Also, gee! I wonder what's about to be revealed?

There it is! Ghal Maraz! (Subject to GW's approval.)

i haven't gotten my hands on any of these, but I really want to see if I can. I just love stuff like this. If my father's business could get them to sell, we would in a heart beat.

I still have my Slayer of Kings. It's sitting right next to me. I'd honestly love to collect more stuff like this.

Legions

So we've already had Mechanicum for Legions revealed, so they're starting off by going into the lore. I guess that's one way to try to pay more respect to the specialist game. Still I'm hoping for more news for Legions.

"Now you're probably sat at home, thinking, "Games Workshop we've already seen these." It had crossed my mind, yes.

Dark Mechanicum! While they haven't shown any traitor specific models yet, the new rules will allow you to field these models in both Loyalist and Traitor forces.

But they're not keeping us waiting for long! This is the Serperos Heavy Stalker. Looks like it's a near Titanic scale model for the Dark Mechanicum. Like most of the new Mechanicum stuff, I'm totally here for this.

I'm also still hoping to see some even larger creations hitting Titanicus and Legions. Say a certain class of Titan that hasn't had an official model for a while . . .

And book reveal! This book will apparently have the rule for playing both factions. So hopefully we'll see more force specific miniatures in the future.

A Special Surprise

Something a bit more lighthearted. A feast in the field, huh? Blood Bowl? Don't they already have halflings?

40K! I know what this is! Apparently Death Korp isn't all the Guard is getting!

"Make a pie crust from compressed cardboard and fill it with a tin of Munitorum issued nutrient paste." Yummy.

I'm so here for this!

These ratlings look fantastic and have so much life and character to them! This is a fantastic addition to the Guard range!

Oh! It's a commemorative model! Boo! I want this to be a part of the main range!

Oh well. Looks like I'm picking up at least one thing for myself this year.

Kill Team

They teased more ratlings, but look at these Boyz! More proper Orky miniatures! Yes!

And there's our new ratlings! Look at the bulldog!

So I guess the next Kill Team box is Orks verse Ratlings. So much for the idea that the next team would be Storm Boyz. Specifically this is Ratling Snipers verses Tankbustas.

All of these miniatures look pretty bespoke. The ratling kit is definitely new, but that doesn't look like an upgrade sprue on the Orks either. I'm wondering if all the Kill Teams will be new kits from now on?

This Kill Team set will include a bunker terrain piece and missions for trying to defend the bunker or storm it. Sounds like a fun time.

The holiday miniature will also have a mission for trying to steal the food for their provisions. So there's another fun detail.

Hmm. New animation or game?

Bandai Namco? Guessing game.

Oh! I was wrong! It's an animated short! Looks like a free one too!

Our next preview will apparently be in November, for the Championships and Grand Narrative Campaign. I'm hoping they do a better job there.

But as the sign off, they hit us with one more teaser.

Final Thoughts

I've apparently hit my image limit, so I'm not gonna go into more details on the miniatures. But on the whole they were fantastic. Not the biggest fan of the Stormcast models for Underworlds but the Skaven models were cool. All the other new models, especially our new Kill Team set and commemorative mini look fantastic! While this Preview was light on new models, what was shown was great!

And that's all the good I have to say.

So this did definitely need to be a Preview because they were revealing the new Underworlds. But honestly, they could have made the whole show about that and I think it would have been better. The Kill Team reveals were good, but the rest was stuff that would normally just be a WarCom article. So they may as well have just dedicated it all to an Underworlds deep dive and left the Kill Team stuff for later.

And while I think this was better than the prerecorded stuff we got before, this might as well have been prerecorded. In fact I'm sure there are gonna be people who accuse this stream of being prerecorded. There was zero interaction with chat. Yeah, they asked chat to call out where they were from like they used to, but then didn't acknowledge any responses. Chat might as well have not been there, and that means this might as well not be live.

This isn't okay! And while I appreciate the nod to the old format, this was honestly something where I wanted to see designers talking about what they were doing. I don't want to hear Nick and Alex talking about the new mechanics and design ideas of Underworlds, I want to here it from the people who made the game! While I didn't like the mock interviews, there's no reason not to have the designers on there talking about what they're excited about.

Between lack of meaningful reveals and the misuse of the live format, this is still a fail. If the last review was a student handing in a print-off from Wikipedia with his name on it, this one was two guys who threw together their paper at the last minute. This will probably be my last liveblog for these. I'm certainly not gonna do another one until I see meaningful changes in the format.

Ahead of the Olympics, France Ramps Up War on Fakes Police crackdown on street merchants in Seine-Saint-Denis, where one in three lives in poverty according to French national statistics, has drawn criticism for pushing people already in economically precarious situations into further difficulty. In the touristy Saint-Ouen flea market, not far from the Stade de France where athletes will compete in this summer’s Paris Olympics, police officers swarmed in at dawn on April 3 and shut down 11 stores selling counterfeit bags and shoes. They confiscated 63,000 items of clothing, shoes and leather goods, including fake Louis Vuitton and Nike products, and threw them into garbage compactor trucks on the spot. Ten people were arrested. Michel Lavaud, police security chief for the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb that will host Paris 2024 athletics and swimming events as well as the closing ceremony, described the operation as part of a pre-Olympics crackdown on knockoffs. Fake fashion is big business. Counterfeit branded clothing alone is estimated to have cost companies in France 1.7 billion euros ($1.83 billion) in lost sales on average each year between 2018 and 2021, according to the European Union Intellectual Property Office. “We’ve been talking about the problem of counterfeits for the last two years,” Lavaud said, adding the police was looking to intensify its efforts. The raid in the world’s fashion capital bears some similarity to clean-ups carried out by previous Olympic hosts like Beijing in 2008, which had mixed results, as well as London in 2012 and Rio in 2016. But the police crackdown on street merchants in Seine-Saint-Denis, where one in three lives in poverty according to French national statistics, has drawn criticism for pushing people already in economically precarious situations into further difficulty. Axel Wilmort, a researcher with French social science institute for urban studies LAVUE, said he had noticed a sharp increase in police presence and repression of informal market sellers on the outskirts of Paris over the last three months, with frequent police patrols and the installation of metal barriers preventing vendors from setting up stalls. “There is a will to erase all signs of precarity, poverty and undesirables,” he said, adding that law enforcement officers often do not differentiate between counterfeit sellers and vendors of legal second-hand wares. Police in Paris did not respond to a request for comment. Police raids on informal merchants near Paris’ iconic Montmartre hillside have multiplied since February, with 10 carried out over four days in early June to dismantle a market of around 1,000 sellers, according to a letter, seen by Reuters, from the district mayor to the interior minister. Seventy tonnes of products were destroyed in March alone, the letter said. Reuters documented in April how street vendors have been caught up in a vast police operation aimed at ridding deprived Paris suburbs of petty crime before the Games.

Black Friday SEO Strategies-2024: Get Ready to Sell Big This Holiday

We all know the chaos that comes with the holiday season. The mad dash to get home to your family, fighting the crowds in stores and waiting in forever long lines to find the perfect gifts for our loved ones. But in the 21st century, holiday shopping has changed. Thanks to online shopping.

The shift from brick-and-mortar to e-commerce has changed how we approach the holiday season. According to Yoast, online sales have almost doubled in 2023 compared to 2018 to $221 billion. This explosion in online shopping has turned the holiday season into a goldmine for businesses. If you have an online presence, it’s never been more important to get your Black Friday SEO in order to maximize sales during the holiday rush.

The Holiday Landscape

The holiday season is more than just a few weeks—it’s embedded in our culture, traditions and increasingly consumer expectations. Whether it’s a family dinner on Thanksgiving, going home for the holiday season or opening gifts on Christmas morning, these traditions get millions of people shopping for the perfect gifts. The holidays are the time to show your loved ones how much you care. It’s also the time for Businesses to cash in on these traditions with events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Prime Day on the retail calendar.

E-commerce businesses benefit the most from the holiday season. Understanding consumer trends like Buy Now, Pay Later, mobile-first shopping and AI-powered marketing helps businesses stay ahead of the game. Plugging these insights into your Black Friday SEO will really get your business ready for the most return on your ad spend this Holiday Season.

What is SEO and Why It Matters for Holiday Sales

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of making your website visible on search engine results pages (SERPs). In short, it’s how customers find your business online when searching for products or services. SEO isn’t just about keywords; it’s about providing the right content to the right audience at the right time.

During the holiday season, visibility is everything. A optimized e-commerce site means you’re not getting lost in the noise but top of your customers shopping list. Black Friday SEO can drive organic traffic, increase visibility and sales during the busiest shopping days of the year like Black Friday.

Holiday SEO Tips for Your Ecommerce Business

At Dream Buildr we know preparation is key. For your holiday SEO to be successful you need to start early—ideally 60 days before the holiday season. Last minute efforts won’t cut it in a market where time is everything.

Start by creating a content calendar and teasing holiday promotions 40 days before Q4 starts. Use email and social media to build the anticipation. By the time the big sales days arrive, customers will already be looking forward to your offers.

Another strategy is to focus on long-tail keywords. These specific keyword phrases target high intent buyers and help you stand out in a crowded market. For example “affordable Black Friday deals on eco-friendly products” is much more targeted than a broad term like “Black Friday sales”. Long-tail keywords will complement your overall Black Friday SEO and help you target niche audiences.

Technical SEO for the Holidays

While content and keywords are important, don’t forget the technical side of Black Friday SEO. A well-structured website with good technical SEO will improve search engine ranking and user experience during peak traffic.

Schema Markup for Holiday Pages

Schema markup is a powerful tool that helps search engines understand your content better. Adding structured data like Product Schema to your seasonal product pages will increase your chances of showing up in search results with rich snippets like product ratings or prices. This will make your listings more attractive to holiday shoppers and drive more clicks and conversions. Including schema markup is part of your Black Friday SEO to boost visibility.

Verify Your Local Business Listings

If you have a physical store along with your e-commerce site, make sure your Google My Business (GMB) listing is up-to-date. Business information especially holiday hours will help customers find and visit your store. If you’re running any promotions, include them in your GMB listing for extra visibility.

Consistency is key—make sure your business name, address and phone number are the same across all platforms, including your website and social media profiles. Inconsistent information will harm your local SEO and confuse potential customers, which will undermine your overall Black Friday SEO.

Mobile and Site Speed

Most shoppers are using mobile devices, your website needs to be mobile optimized. A mobile-friendly design isn’t enough—you also need fast load times. Shoppers won’t complete purchases on a slow loading website, especially during the holiday rush.

Use tools like Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test and Page Speed Insights to identify areas for improvement. Compress images, enable lazy loading for product images and use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to reduce page load times. These optimizations will improve your site’s user experience and boost your Black Friday SEO.

Measure and Adjust Your SEO

Once your holiday SEO is live, monitoring is key. You need to track your website’s performance to see if you’re hitting your goals and make adjustments along the way.

Monitor with Analytics Tools

Tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console will give you valuable insights into your campaign’s performance. Metrics like organic traffic, bounce rates and conversion rates will tell you what’s working and what’s not. Focus on tracking your top-performing keywords and landing pages to maximize your impact and boost your Black Friday SEO.

If you see a drop in traffic, investigate fast. A sudden drop could be technical issues or keyword optimization. Monitoring performance in real time will allow you to fix problems before they impact your holiday sales.

Tracking Keyword Rankings

During the holiday season, tracking your keyword rankings is key. Tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush or Moz will help you keep an eye on your Black Friday SEO. If your rankings start to slip, consider refreshing your content, updating keywords or focusing on long-tail keywords that your competitors are missing.

Real Time Adjustments

Flexibility is key during the holiday season. Shopping trends change fast, so your SEO needs to adapt. Whether it’s tweaking holiday promotions or optimizing landing pages, making real time adjustments will keep you ahead of the competition.

A/B testing can help you optimize key parts of your website, like headlines, CTAs or page layouts. Testing different variations will give you insight into what’s working with your holiday shoppers and allow you to fine tune your Black Friday SEO.

Last Minute Tips for Holiday SEO

So there you have it, holiday success is all about planning, flexibility and customer experience. Here are a few last minute tips:

Start Early and Be Ready

At Dream Buildr we recommend starting your holiday SEO 60 days in advance. Early planning gives you time to adjust and refine your strategy. Make sure promotions, content and technical optimizations are completed before the holiday rush begins. Early preparation is key to your Black Friday SEO.

User Experience

User experience is a part of SEO. Make sure your website is easy to use, loads fast and provides a smooth shopping experience. From a seamless checkout process to clear return policies, great customer service can make or break your holiday sales and is a big part of your Black Friday SEO.

Use Social Media for Holiday Promotions

Don’t underestimate social media. Use platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest to promote your holiday sales and engage with your audience. Social media allows real time engagement so you can build excitement around your holiday offers. Integrating social media with your Black Friday SEO will increase your reach and drive more traffic.

When do I start implementing Black Friday SEO strategies?

It’s recommended to start planning and implementing Black Friday SEO strategies at least 60 days before the holiday season. This gives you time to optimise content, update keywords and make sure the website is technically ready for the increased traffic during the holiday rush.

What technical SEO should I focus on for Black Friday?

Technical SEO elements to include in your Black Friday SEO strategies are making sure your website is mobile friendly, improving site speed, adding schema markup to product pages and verifying local business listings if you have a physical store. These will help with search engine rankings and user experience for shoppers.

Latest Michigan Lottery Drawings: An In-Depth Look at the MI Lottery Jackpot and How You Can Win Big

The Michigan Lottery has captivated players across the state since its inception, offering a range of thrilling games with life-changing jackpots. From daily draws to massive multi-state lotteries, the excitement of the Michigan Lottery continues to grow with each passing week. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the latest Michigan Lottery drawings, MI Lottery jackpot, and the games that are providing players with opportunities to win big.

A Brief History of the Michigan Lottery

Before diving into the latest Michigan Lottery results and jackpot information, it’s important to understand the roots of this state-run lottery. Established in 1972, the Michigan Lottery was created with the goal of raising funds for public education. Over the decades, it has contributed billions of dollars to the Michigan School Aid Fund, making it an essential part of the state's funding for K-12 education.

The first Michigan Lottery game was the Green Ticket, a simple $0.50 game where players could win up to $1 million. Fast-forward to today, and the lottery offers a wide variety of games, ranging from instant-win scratch-off tickets to multi-state lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions. In total, the Michigan Lottery has paid out billions in prizes to lucky winners across the state.

How the Michigan Lottery Works

The Michigan Lottery offers players numerous ways to play and win. There are several types of games, including:

Instant-Win Games: Scratch-off tickets that offer instant prizes, ranging from a few dollars to millions. Popular scratch-off games change regularly, with varying ticket prices and prize amounts.

Daily Draw Games: These include Pick 3, Pick 4, and Fantasy 5, with draws happening every day. The prize amounts for these games vary based on the number of winners and the wagered amounts.

Multi-State Draw Games: Mega Millions and Powerball are the most popular multi-state draw games. These games have much larger jackpots because they pool ticket sales across multiple states, often reaching hundreds of millions of dollars.

Keno: A fast-paced game where players pick numbers in hopes of matching a winning combination in draws held every few minutes.

Recent Michigan Lottery Drawings and Jackpots

Daily Draws

One of the most frequently played Michigan Lottery games is the Daily 3 and Daily 4. These games offer the chance to win multiple times a day, with midday and evening drawings. Both games allow players to pick their numbers or choose an “Easy Pick,” where the numbers are randomly generated. Players can also choose the type of bet they want to place, whether it’s an exact order, any order, or combo bets.

Here are the results of the latest Michigan Lottery drawings for Daily 3 and Daily 4:

Daily 3 (October 15, 2024)

Midday Winning Numbers: 3-5-7

Evening Winning Numbers: 4-2-9

Daily 4 (October 15, 2024)

Midday Winning Numbers: 1-2-6-8

Evening Winning Numbers: 5-0-3-4

The payouts for Daily 3 and Daily 4 depend on the type of wager placed and the numbers matched. Players can win up to $500 on Daily 3 and up to $5,000 on Daily 4 with exact order bets.

Fantasy 5

Fantasy 5 is a popular daily drawing game that offers jackpots starting at $100,000. Players select five numbers from a pool of 1 to 39, and if they match all five, they win the jackpot. Smaller prizes are awarded for matching two to four numbers.

The latest Fantasy 5 jackpot was worth $250,000, and the winning numbers for the October 15, 2024 draw were:

Winning Numbers: 12-18-25-32-36

If there is no jackpot winner, the prize rolls over to the next drawing, giving players a chance at an even larger sum. The game also offers an “EZMatch” option, where for an additional $1, players can win instant prizes up to $500.

Lotto 47

Lotto 47 is another exciting Michigan Lottery game that has players vying for a chance at jackpots that start at $1 million. In Lotto 47, players choose six numbers from a pool of 1 to 47, and the prize increases with each rollover if no one wins the jackpot.

The Lotto 47 jackpot continues to climb, with the latest drawing on October 14, 2024, producing the following numbers:

Winning Numbers: 8-15-19-28-35-41

Estimated Jackpot: $4.3 million

If no one matches all six numbers, the jackpot rolls over to the next drawing, creating even larger prizes for future games. Lotto 47 also offers an add-on feature called “Double Play,” which gives players a second chance to win with their numbers in a separate drawing.

Powerball

Powerball is one of the most recognizable lottery games in the United States, known for its massive multi-state jackpots. The Powerball jackpot starts at $20 million and can easily reach hundreds of millions—or even billions—of dollars after several rollovers. Players select five numbers from a pool of 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from a separate pool of 1 to 26.

The most recent Powerball drawing took place on October 14, 2024, with a massive jackpot of $160 million. Here are the winning numbers:

Winning Numbers: 7-10-29-32-43 Powerball: 5

Power Play Multiplier: 2x

No one won the grand prize, which means the jackpot for the next drawing is expected to surpass $175 million. Players can also opt to add the Power Play feature to their ticket, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by up to 10 times, depending on the number drawn.

Mega Millions

Mega Millions is another multi-state lottery game, similar to Powerball, with equally massive jackpots. The Mega Millions jackpot starts at $20 million and grows with each rollover. Players choose five numbers from 1 to 70 and a Mega Ball number from 1 to 25.

The most recent Mega Millions drawing occurred on October 13, 2024, with a $112 million jackpot. The winning numbers were:

Winning Numbers: 11-22-33-45-60 Mega Ball: 10

Megaplier: 3x

Since there was no jackpot winner, the prize continues to climb. The next Mega Millions drawing will offer an estimated $130 million jackpot. Similar to Powerball, players can add the “Megaplier” option, which increases non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Understanding the Odds

One of the most common questions about the Michigan Lottery—or any lottery, for that matter—is “What are the odds of winning?” The odds of winning vary depending on the game you’re playing. Here’s a quick breakdown of the odds for some of the most popular Michigan Lottery games:

Daily 3: The odds of winning the top prize with an exact order bet are 1 in 1,000.

Daily 4: The odds of winning the top prize with an exact order bet are 1 in 10,000.

Fantasy 5: The odds of winning the jackpot (matching all five numbers) are 1 in 575,757.

Lotto 47: The odds of winning the jackpot (matching all six numbers) are 1 in 10,737,573.

Powerball: The odds of winning the jackpot (matching all five numbers plus the Powerball) are 1 in 292,201,338.

Mega Millions: The odds of winning the jackpot (matching all five numbers plus the Mega Ball) are 1 in 302,575,350.

While the odds of winning a multi-state lottery like Powerball or Mega Millions are astronomical, the prizes are so large that they continue to attract millions of hopeful players.

Strategies for Playing the Michigan Lottery

There’s no way to guarantee a win in the Michigan Lottery, but there are a few strategies that some players use to improve their chances or make their gameplay more enjoyable:

Play Smart: Set a budget for how much you’re willing to spend on lottery tickets. Never spend more than you can afford to lose, and consider purchasing tickets for smaller games like Fantasy 5, where the odds are better.

Join a Lottery Pool: Lottery pools allow groups of people to pool their money together to buy more tickets. While you’ll have to split any winnings, your chances of winning are higher because you’re purchasing more tickets.

Consistency Pays Off: Some players believe in picking the same numbers for every draw. While this doesn’t improve the odds, it can make gameplay more exciting, especially if you feel attached to your numbers.

Random vs. Chosen Numbers: Studies show that random numbers (like those chosen by an Easy Pick) win just as often as personally selected numbers. So, if you’re unsure of what numbers to pick, letting the machine do it for you can be just as effective.

Where to Play the Michigan Lottery

Michigan residents can purchase tickets at authorized retailers throughout the state, but one of the most convenient ways to play is through the Michigan Lottery’s online platform. The MI Lottery website and mobile app allow players to buy tickets for draw games, check the latest results, and play instant-win games from their computer or smartphone.

Playing online also gives players access to special promotions, bonuses, and second-chance drawings that aren

UK stocks bounced back on Wednesday, recovering after big falls in the previous session despite big falls on markets in China where additional stimulus disappointment weighed on the mood.

Travis Scott Net Worth: How Much Is the Rapper Really Worth?

The talk about hip-hop's biggest stars always points to Travis Scott. With mega hit albums, sold-out tours, lucrative partnerships, and a more than gigantic brand, his net worth is never out of the headlines day in and day out. What is Travis Scott net worth? What are some of the reasons why his fortune is so jaw-dropping? The rapper's wealth and where it comes from, and how it continues to grow.

The Meteoric Rise of Travis Scott

Before we delve into the finances, let's understand how Travis Scott became a household name. Born Jacques Webster II in Houston, Texas, this artist did not find himself overnight, but rather he built this celebrity from scratch-a mix of raw talent, hard work, and a genius business mind. His big break came with the 2015 album Rodeo, but it was his 2018 album Astroworld that made a true splash. Not only does the album dominate charts but also serve to launch a movement-a type of movement, as Astroworld Festival has now become an event not to be missed. That kind of success doesn't simply build careers-it builds fortunes.

So, What Is Travis Scott's Net Worth?

The billion-dollar question everyone has been asking: Travis Scott's net worth? According to estimates made around 2024, he's set to be worth an astounding $60 million. Yes, you heard that right-three zeros long. This in itself is quite impressive, but how he got there is simply amazing.

Let's break it down further.

Travis Scott's Sources of Income

1. Music Sales and Streaming

Music, really, is the heart of Scott's profession. He has sold millions of albums and raked up billions of streams. From hit singles like Sicko Mode to entire albums that go platinum, Travis has consistently proved that his sound is exactly what the audience craves. Astroworld alone generated millions in sales and streams. His tracks dominate Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, where streams translate directly into dollar signs.

2. Concerts and Tours

If you've ever been lucky enough to go to one of his concerts, you know that Travis Scott is not just a performance-performing artist but an experience-giving artist. For instance, his tours are usually wild and crazy with highly elaborate settings on the stage and sold-out arenas. The Astroworld Tour was quite fantastic, grossing over $65 million from only 56 shows. Just think about how much he pockets after production costs are subtracted! 3. Merch Sales

And then, of course, there's the merch. Travis isn't selling just t-shirts; he's selling a lifestyle. From hoodies and hats to limited drops, his Cactus Jack label is one among many formidable merchandising forces. The lines are so popular they sell out in minutes, giving his brand and bank balance both a significant and skyward trajectory. 4. Business VenturesScott's wealth doesn't end there with music or merch. His associations with major brands have been nothing short of game-changing. Traditional affiliation-Nike: Travis is a legend for his collaboration with Nike. He is perhaps one of the most sought after signature artists. His Air Jordan 1 sells out in the same second; thousands of dollars are yielded reselling. These aren't just exposure deals-they're huge money-makers. McDonald's Collaboration: In 2020, Travis partnered with McDonald's for a limited-edition meal and merchandise line. He pocketed $20 million from the partnership. Not bad flipping burgers and fries into fashion, right? 5. EndorsementsBig brands are lining up to have Travis Scott represent them. Apart from Nike and McDonald's, Scott has also worked with PlayStation, Epic Games (Fortnite), and even Dior. Such endorsement deals not only augment his profile but also attract millions in terms of endorsement money.

Investment and Business Moves

Travis Scott is a businessman in every sense of the word. Behind the media spotlight, Travis Scott is making a more solid case for his wealth on long-term investments rather than just deals alone. Cactus Jack Records: There's something that surprised the fans-the former rapper is a label head, which develops the talent of many new artists as part of Cactus Jack Records. That's another diversified source of income for Travis. Real Estate: It doesn't differ much from how other celebrities would spend their money; Travis has also invested in real estate. He owns one of Brentwood's much-expensive mansions within California. The $23.5 million mansion is a testament to his taste and smart investments in exclusive materials.

We can't even remotely start discussing Travis Scott's net worth without mentioning very publicly his relationship with Kylie Jenner, the world's youngest self-made billionaire. In all fairness, Scott's prosperity is, no question, his own, but Kylie certainly hasn't harmed his public profile nor earning power. The daughter, Stormi Webster, is already a media sensation, and who knows? She could be destined to be heir to a billion-dollar empire of her own!

How Does Travis Scott Spend His Money?

How does Travis Scott spend millions in the bank? There is no point being surprised when he shouldn't be cutting corners to go about indulging all things luxury. 1. Luxury CarsScott's passion for exotic cars is quite evident from his garage. From Ferraris to Lamborghinis, Travis loves riding in style, and his crown jewel is over $3 million valued in his Bugatti Chiron. 2. Lavish HomesReal estate is another area Scott doesn't think twice before investing. His mansion in Brentwood has some of the most mind-blowing facilities, including a 20-car garage and a pool. Panoramic views of Los Angeles complete the list of impressive features. 3. Fine artTravis does not think twice before putting his money into fine art either. His collection has some of the world's famous contemporary artists, and, like real estate, this is a good investment decision that will increase with time.

Conclusion

So, here we go: Travis Scott's net worth now stands at a ridiculous $60 million and counting! From music and merchandise to high-profile partnerships and smart investments, Scott has progressed-from being a Houston kid to becoming an international superstar-that is simply amazing. By synthesizing creativity and business acumen, Scott has established a place as one of the most influential and richest rappers of this generation. Indeed, with countless projects teed up, who knows where his net worth will soar next? The sky really is the limit for Travis Scott!
