I made my website charge AI agents a penny per page. Then I watched Claude pay it.
Google is testing paying publishers when their pages feed its AI answers, on terms only Google can see. My site runs the other version over x402.

ChatGPT Searches Individual Subreddits by Name
A capture this week has ChatGPT targeting one subreddit directly, with a ten-year window, on a query where Bing returns no Reddit at all. Reddit was 48 of the 71 pages it fetched and won 6 of the 8 citations. Four days earlier, a different query gave Reddit none of eleven.

Common Crawl Published a Manual for Being Visible to AI. I Automated It.
Common Crawl's own AI Visibility Audit tells you to check your training data standing by hand. I automated it. My free checker reads 12 months of Common Crawl history for any domain or single page, dates the month a CCBot block appeared, tells you whether a CDN template wrote it, and hands you the fix.

ChatGPT Changed How It Picks Sources While You Were Reading My Last Post
A reader found a source pipeline I'd never seen, so I went back into ChatGPT's network traffic 10 days after the first teardown. Some of it had changed underneath me, I caught 2 of my own over-reaches, and I found the layer that shows who you lose citations to.
