Content Independence Day
AI crawling creates a distribution and bargaining problem for publishers because content consumption can increase while referral traffic disappears. - Agent-led growth 101
Introducing Pay Per Crawl
Pay Per Crawl experiments with a machine-readable price on AI access, turning an invisible fetch into an explicit economic transaction. - Agent-led growth 101
The crawl before the fall of referrals
Crawler request volume varies sharply by bot and does not reveal whether an assistant cited, recommended or transacted with a product. - Agent-led growth 101
