Google just shipped its embeddable Preferred Sources button, and the SEO community immediately asked: "so it's the same as the Follow button on Discover?" No.
linkedin.com/pulse/googles-f…
Google itself mixed the two in one announcement. We mapped every "follow" button in the ecosystem 🧭
There are more of them than the announcement mentions.
- Preferred Sources, the newcomer: the only lever that touches Top Stories, AI Overviews and AI Mode. Now embeddable on your own site, worldwide, no audience threshold. Ten minutes well spent this week.
- The Follow that feeds Discover has more doors than you think: the publisher's profile page, the ⋯ menu of any Discover card... and a third door that appears in no Google communication at all.
- All those follows converge on one single page of your Google account. Preferred sources never enter it. Two separate plumbing systems, and knowing which is which changes what you optimize.
- And one button looks like a visibility lever for publishers... and is nothing of the sort. People sell optimization on it anyway.
Full guide, screenshots included.
Merci @abondance_com , on apprécie !!!

An AIO (AI summary) card on Google Discover without summary and without image, just the different sources.

Google wants to transform Google Discover into a proactive, hyper-personalized feed.
This comes from the job posting for Principal, UX, Search Discover. Director+ level. Mountain View, CA or New York, NY.
The posting says this person will drive the UX strategy and execution for transforming Discover into a proactive, hyper-personalized feed, and lead design initiatives to redefine feed interactions, content formats, and AI-driven exploration experiences.
The responsibilities spell it out.
Discover should become a proactive, hyper-personalized concierge experience that helps users make progress on their goals.
It should help existing users go deeper, moving seamlessly from inspiration to action.
Feed formats evolve by scaling AI-enabled formats, designing new engagement mechanisms, and elevating human voices and perspectives in the feed.
One line is explicit: balance AI capabilities while centering human voices and sources.
The role partners with executive teams across Product, Engineering, Data Science, and UX Research, plus YouTube, Shopping, Chrome, and Android.
Preferred qualifications also ask for someone who can unify personalization frameworks across product areas, and build creator/publisher value exchanges. Youth demographics are mentioned too.

Le tempo est parfait, google discover vient d'introduire un nouveau RS dans les cartes discover vu au US pour le moment. Les cartes RS avec X(.)com, Threads, et maintenant Bluesky prend de l'inventaire discover avec des cartes enrichis, résumé texte, slides d'images dans la carte etc ...
xitter.cf/AndellDam/status/21085…
🆕 Google Discover has just introduced Bluesky cards, similar to those for X(.)com, Threads, and TikTok.
We see a card showing a Bluesky post and a clickable CNN link.
That is, as with X(.)com, and Threads, the CNN(.)com link contained within the Bluesky post is directly clickable via the Discover card image.
This could be a possible addition to the Discover feed.
Note that the card is associated with its creator, Brian Stelter, a CNN.com journalist.

We previously discussed Google testing the connection of "search profiles" to claim Mastodon profiles; we've just seen that it's also testing Bluesky.
profile.google.com/claim/ver…
Here are the labels:
"Mastodon Social" → "search-creator-profile-mastodon-social",
"Bluesky Social" → "search-creator-profile-bluesky-social"
And the 8 Mastodon instances that also appear in the list of added platforms:
…-infosec-exchange, -mastodon-art, -mastodon-uno, -mastodon-world, -mastodonapp-uk, -mathstodon-xyz, -mstdn-social, -universeodon-com
Note: This isn't currently active but is implemented in the HTML code.

New connection being tested for claiming your Google "search profile".
We've detected a new social network being tested for connection when claiming a Google profile on the page: profile.google.com/claim/ver…
Currently, YouTube, Instagram X, and TikTok are included.
This results in the following code names:
Instagram → search-creator-profile-instagram
TikTok → search-creator-profile-tiktok
X → search-creator-profile-x
Facebook → search-creator-profile-facebook
We've just seen that Google is currently testing Mastodon with:
search-creator-profile-mastodon-social-test
The "test" tag is added to the name, indicating that it's a test currently underway at Google.

Depuis juillet, les articles les plus exposés de Google Discover cumulent environ un tiers d'exposition en moins qu'en début d'année. En France, en Italie, aux États-Unis et en Espagne : en même temps. 📉
1492.vision/logbook/discover…
Le meilleur jour d'un article baisse peu (-12 % en France). Ce qui baisse, c'est la durée : 1,9 jour dans le flux français en septembre, contre 2,3 à 2,8 jours au premier semestre.
Les contenus intemporels perdent le plus. Un article jardin passe de 5,4 à 3,3 jours.
Et en France, la presse régionale triple sa part de voix pendant que la presse nationale en perd un quart.
Analyse complète dans notre logbook.
Météo Google Discover, marché FR.
1492.vision/meteo?lng=fr
Le dernier pic marque peut-être la fin de la spam update. On remarque aussi que Google a ré-ouvert les vannes de Discover, que des spammers sont entrés, mais que globalement le % de domaines pareto (% de domaines qui font 80% de visibiltié) est toujours aussi bas. Sauf exception (suivez mon regard), les nouveaux entrants n'apparaissent pas dans le top.
Et en effet, la météo n'a pas menti : xitter.cf/googlesearchc/status/2…
Note de service: Souci temporaire sur notre backend, c'est résolu. Pas de data perdue, mais prévoir "un certain temps" que le retard soit rattrapé.
Merci de votre compréhension !

We haven't discussed this AI summary format on Google Discover, but it's worth taking a few minutes to look at it.
We have two AIO formats on Discover: the NEON format for YouTube and articles.
This format is categorized by Google as an article format but only offers X(.)com posts.
Since these AI summary card formats are enriched by larger card sources because they include a text summary and not just the title, they generate better user engagement.
For Discover publishers, this means less inventory in their feeds with YouTube and X(.)com AI summaries that don't contain any articles on those cards.

J'y serai ! j'ai le plaisir d'ouvrir le bal avec un talk qui plonge dans l'histoire de Google pour éclairer le futur du search et des moteurs génératifs.
1492.vision y aura un stand, et bien sur il y aura des entités partout, vous n'êtes pas prêts !
🔎 Four months of Discover monitoring by Damien, from late May to early October, in the new edition of our newsletter: 1492dotvision.substack.com/p…
The big story of the summer is Search Profiles. These profile pages Google builds for a publisher or a creator went from test to mass product: claims open worldwide, the eligibility threshold down to 10,000 followers, profile merges (and a few botched un-merges), and a place in the Knowledge Panel and AI Mode.
Then, on October 1, Google cleaned house: many profiles disappeared, and you now have to show your credentials to keep one. We read that as a sign of how much weight Google gives these pages.
Also inside: the first AI summary cards in France's Discover feed, spotted on October 3. Threads and YouTube posts that become clickable cards pointing to your site. A video feed in the works, with the author at the center. And what the Follow button actually changes in Discover's pipeline, with numbers.
Plus a checklist of what you can do right now on your own profiles.
Does your publication still have its Search profile since October 1?

🔎 Quatre mois de veille Discover par Damien, de fin mai à début octobre, dans la nouvelle édition de notre newsletter : 1492vision.substack.com/p/le…
Le gros morceau de l'été, ce sont les Search Profiles. Ces pages profil que Google génère pour un média ou un créateur sont passées du test au produit de masse : claim ouvert en pratique dans le monde entier, seuil d'éligibilité tombé à 10 000 abonnés, fusions de profils (et quelques dé-fusions ratées), arrivée dans le Knowledge Panel et l'AI Mode.
Puis, le 1er octobre, Google a fait le ménage : beaucoup de profils ont disparu, et il faut désormais montrer patte blanche pour en garder un. On en tire une lecture sur l'importance que Google donne à ces pages.
Au passage : les premières cartes résumé IA dans le Discover français, repérées le 3 octobre. Les posts Threads et YouTube qui deviennent des cartes cliquables vers votre site. Un feed vidéo qui se prépare avec l'auteur au centre. Et ce que le bouton Suivre change vraiment dans le pipeline de Discover, chiffres à l'appui.
Avec une checklist de ce que vous pouvez faire dès maintenant sur vos propres profils.
Votre média a-t-il encore son Search profile depuis le 1er octobre ?

Voici un autre exemple des AIO ou résumé IA sur Discover Français de France avec @abondance_com dans les sources.
🆕Nouveau sur Google Discover : première fois que l'on voit un test de discover français sur des cartes résumé IA ici avec 20minutes(.)fr
On avait déjà identifié les résumés IA dans discover sur le feed français canadien mais pas français de France.
Donc un test pour la première fois sur le feed discover Français de France avec 27 sources dont BFMTV, lefigaro ...
