Google introduced AI Overviews, including links directly to Google’s search results within the AI-generated summaries. This means you can click on underlined terms and get more relevant information when you’re exploring topics without retyping your queries.
Pretty neat, right?
But here’s the catch for publishers: while Google says external links will still be visible, many are worried that people might stick to Google’s results instead of visiting their websites. It’s a double-edged sword—users might enjoy the quicker navigation, but content creators might see a drop in traffic.
So, will this enhance your search experience, or could it hurt websites you love?
