Eight in ten Performance Max advertisers are receiving connected TV (CTV) impressions via YouTube, as reported by Smarter Ecoommerce’s Mike Ryan. Google has expanded the channel’s reach over the past year — and the trajectory is only accelerating.

And if a site redesign moves a single element? The whole thing breaks.It’s slow. It’s expensive. And it’s comically unreliable.How AI agents interact with websites today vs. with WebMCP.WebMCP changes that.Without WebMCP: An AI agent crawls your page, guesses which input fields need what data, hopes the form accepts its input, and crosses its fingers.With WebMCP: Your website says “Here’s a function called searchFlights.

Evidence from a Chrome Canary release some months ago revealed a new mode called Transit mode, specifically for this purpose. We’re now getting a decent…
