The one thing that brand managers, company owners, SEOs, and marketers have in common is the desire to have a very strong brand because it’s a win-win for everyone. Nowadays, from an SEO perspective, having a strong brand allows you to do more than just dominate the SERP — it also means you can be part of chatbot answers. Generative AI (GenAI) is the technology shaping chatbots, like Bard, Bingchat, ChatGPT, and search engines, like Bing and Google. GenAI is a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) that can create content at the click of a button (text, audio, and video). Both Bing and Google use GenAI in their search engines to improve their search engine answers…

Die Version 6.0.0 RC 1 ist jetzt als Update verfügbar. Das primäre Ziel dieser Version war es, alle in der Beta 4 gefundenen Probleme zu beheben und die endgültige Version vorzubereiten. Ein Upgrade von RC 1 auf die finaleVersion wird garantiert. Dessen ungeachtet raten wir weiterhin davon ab, Testversionen in einer produktiven Umgebung einzusetzen. Der Testzeitraum wurde bis zum 15. Oktober 2023 verlängert und wir gehen davon aus, dass die finale Version Ende September/Anfang Oktober erscheinen wird. Wir bitten zu beachten, dass ein Upgrade von WoltLab Suite 5.5 noch nicht möglich ist und erst Anfang nächster Woche freigeschaltet wird. Continue reading...

The Version 6.0.0 RC 1 is now available as an update. The primary goal of this release was to stabilize the new version by addressing any issues found in Beta 4 and to prepare the final release. Upgrading from RC 1 to the gold release will be guaranteed although we still do not recommend using this version in production. The evaluation period has been extended until Oct 15, 2023 and we’re projecting the gold release to arrive by the end of September / early October. Please understand that upgrading from WoltLab Suite 5.5 is not yet possible and will be enabled earlier next week. Continue reading...

We would like to inform that we will discontinue the option to purchase the LDAP plugin on October 1, 2023. The official end of support for the plugin will take place on October 1, 2024. Over the last few years, we have seen a significant decrease in demand for connectivity via LDAP. Other methods for single sign-on solutions, such as OAuth2 or SAML, are used almost universally and have replaced LDAP more and more. The LDAP integration has always been complex due to the underlying technology as well as the highly varying customer requirements, which have made themselves felt in particular through a high support effort. The usefulness of a generic solution for aut…

Wir möchten darauf hinweisen, dass wir die Option zum Kauf des LDAP-Plugins zum 1. Oktober 2023 einstellen werden. Das offizielle Ende des Supports für das Plugin folgt am 1. Oktober 2024. Über die letzten Jahre hinweg konnten wir einen signifikanten Rückgang der Nachfrage nach einer Anbindung über LDAP verzeichnen. Andere Verfahren für Single Sign-on-Lösungen wie beispielsweise OAuth2 oder SAML kommen nahezu universell zum Einsatz und haben LDAP mehr und mehr verdrängt. Die Anbindung über LDAP ist seit jeher komplex auf Grund der zugrunde liegenden Technik als auch den höchst unterschiedlichen Kundenanforderungen, die sich insbesondere durch einen hohen Supportaufw…

You can learn how to work with AI. Building AI into your processes will future-proof your marketing skills if AI takes over the world.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is officially here. If you’re not familiar yet, GA4 is the next generation of analytics. While it offers a bunch of new features and benefits, it can be a little daunting to learn how to use it effectively. There are numerous new reports, and finding the data you care about can take a lot of time. In this post, I will show you a great way by which you can leverage the power of GA4 to enhance your reporting by using custom reports. [HEADING=1]What is the need for Custom Reports?[/HEADING] Don’t get me wrong, the standard reports are great. They provide a lot of data. And that’s the problem. They provide a lot of data that you might no…

Around August 18, just prior to the August Core Update announcement, MozCast recorded extremely high temperatures, peaking at 127°F. This stood out even compared to August’s unusually high ranking-volatility and the Core Update itself (so far). While it’s easy to lump this volatility into the August Core Update, we recorded a distinct and probably unrelated event — a massive drop in indented results on page-one SERPs. [HEADING=1]Indented results drop 50%[/HEADING] An indented result in Google is any organic result that’s grouped under another, higher-ranking result from the same domain. For example, below is a screenshot of a search for “Excalibur” that pulls…

Few aspects of my job drive me to extreme internal conflict, but the subject of author attribution is one that tears my brain in two. My writer brain says, “Yes, absolutely! Writers’ names on all that they create! Credit where credit is due!” My marketer brain is apparently more reserved because I find myself asking myself questions such as: Who deserves the credit for this article? The actual writer? The entire team of researchers who helped provide data? And what happens if a totally different writer updates the article later? Will the author’s name support this content’s performance, or would it be better received if a more well-known subject matter …
