According to the New York Times, Google has 160 engineers working on Project Magi.
Project Magi is a stepping stone into a new search engine they plan to release. The new search engine will replace Google as we know it.
There aren’t many details on their new search engine, but there are details about Project Magi.
Here’s what we know…
Google wants to do searches more like a conversation.
Imagine asking a person questions and getting answers kind of like ChatGPT.
Or think of how you interact with Alexa, but a smarter version than that. And one that can learn not just from how you conversed in the past, but can learn on the fly as you ask questions.
It’s the next logical step in the search. We all want answers, and we want relevant answers adapted to us.
The old-school method of seeing 10 results per page when you are just looking for an answer is what they are trying to provide.
The big change though isn’t that, it’s how Google will help facilitate transactions.
Whether it is a pair of shoes or booking a flight, Google will start handling transactions on Google.
In other words, why must you go to another website to buy shoes?
Why can’t Google show you the pair of shoes you want based on what they know about you and then let you buy with a button?
From your shoe size to the color you prefer to even understand if you need wide shoes or narrow ones. Or how different brands have different sizing.
Plus, they have Google Pay, which would integrate nicely with this feature.
Well, there are still going to be ads. Google is a business, and they are publicly traded… which means they have no choice but to earn money and it needs to be in a profitable way.
But the way ads will work in the long run will change.
Think of it this way; you currently pay a cost per click for ads. On your end, you backend that to a cost per acquisition, and then you model it from a profit and loss perspective.
If it is profitable, you spend more (or try to at least) to get more clicks. If it isn’t profitable, you reduce how much you are willing to spend per click.
My thesis is that Google will shift to a cost-per-acquisition model (eventually). This makes it easy on the marketer’s end and can create a better user experience.
Plus if your website isn’t great, you can still make money as it is happening on Google’s end.
From an SEO perspective, there are always keywords that will drive traffic to your site.
At one point, when you wanted to find out what the weather was you would have to go to a site like Weather.com. But now Google shows you the weather.
According to Danny Sullivan:
In reality, Google Search sends billions of clicks to websites every day, and we’ve sent more traffic to the open web every year since Google was first created.
I would expect these new features to increase traffic on Google, which will help counteract some of the clicks that would be taken from your site.
Plus, there will be a new form of SEO. When Google is searching for products or services to show people through Project Magi, how can you optimize your site so that they show your products and services?
It doesn’t matter as much if someone clicks on your site; what matters is who is getting the sale. If you are, it’s still a win.

However, I will mostly upload a blog about bikes and their development in the next few months! Recently, I have so much into ebike cargo. They say this type of bike can replace the car! And I am very into it since my place is crowded with traffic jams! The video above showed a funny situation: I started the review from Brooks's handle! And after nine years! It's still an excellent bike handle and not even destroyed!

Hi, hi, hi. So, it's been a while for the last couple of weeks since I have considered buying a cargo bike. The reason is that I am often trapped in a traffic jam because I can't get faster in my car.

Custom LEGO Transformers Devastator
My faith in humanity is restored! OK, that’s a bit overboard – but you couldn’t blame me if you see an incredibly, exquisitely and wonderfully executed custom LEGO Transformers Devastator such as this by Alex Jones. I feel transported to the 80’s once again, with the same intense childhood wonder when I first saw the Constructicons combine and become the formidable Devastator.
