Hey, what's going on? This is Tyson from previsible.io, and joining me today is Michael Sumner, who is the CEO and founder at ScoreDecht.

Yesterday Michael and I talked about blockchain timestamping, and today we're continuing the conversation by discussing the new age of authorship and SEO. So with that, here's my conversation with Michael Sumner, CEO and co-founder at ScorDetect. Michael, welcome back.
Thanks for having me, Tyson. So yesterday we kind of, you know, we hit on more of the fundamentals. We discussed kind of like a little bit more about blockchain and kind of applications outside of crypto. And we kind of teased the listeners a little bit about kind of maybe some SEO applications, which I think picking up from that, I feel like the Maybe kind of key principle is trust and reliability. And it seems like the strengths, like or some of the greatest strengths of like blockchain, come in that form. So being that that is such a significant challenge for search engines to solve, as far as there's so much discussion around EEAT, we're also living in Now, a broader application of generative AI content.
So, like, maybe kind of to set the stage, like How are you seeing authorship and the intersection of blockchain?
Sure, so what we think of authorship used to be that we publish an article and have the author have a link to their bio or a piece of text to help describe to crawlers about them and also a list of articles that they have authored on that website. But that's not enough for Google. Google has to find out the social media links of that author if it does have and if genuinely in the real world or at least in the world that we see in the internet that that author is trustworthy has the experience or is an expert in the topic that's being written. So what we've found so far with how Google finds that out, I mean we can't tell them ourselves, but rather ask Google about it. But what we're seeing is that crawlers are smart enough to find out through links and other helpful elements like structured data or HTML elements to help guide the crawler towards where those points are for the author.
So with that, it seems like too there's this additional challenge from a search engine, whether it's like through the authorship or the actual piece of content. to like the responsibility or the like the task is kind of more on the search engine side to kind of put together the clues and the pieces to make the best guess towards this. Like I'm I'm kind of guessing here, like jumping ahead a little that blockchain authorship would also make that significantly easier from a search engine perspective, correct? Yes, that's right. So then In the sense I I feel like you're you're kind of calling out that, hey, the same challenge around content that search engines have the solution can be there from a blockchain implementation?
Like, what would be the kind of like pathway? Like, like how how would you see the pathway to search engines being able to use that? Is it like there needs to reach like a critical adoption level across like the open web, or is it more of a it actually doesn't matter if it's a, you know, full adoption.
