How Common Crawl Impacts AI Visibility with Stephen Burns
S
4:33Stephen BurnsGUEST
So there's a discovery crawl and then there is a crawl that goes out.
S
4:37Stephen BurnsGUEST
The discovery call looks for new using harmonic centrality goes and looks out for new web pages and that and sees and measures them.
S
4:44Stephen BurnsGUEST
And then the monthly crawl runs.
S
4:47Stephen BurnsGUEST
And that takes a few weeks.

We don't know anything is totally anonymous of who is downloading it.

and then previously you just mentioned that harmonic centrality for anyone that doesn't know what harmonic centrality is it's a very different algorithm to page rank make sure you check out the link in the description where we go and have a deep dive into exactly what harmonic centrality actually is as part of the algorithm but But just very, very briefly, I know we've done a full episode on it, but can you explain the importance of trying to get close to the main seed set of sites to increase CC rank within Common Crawl that means that you're going to get potentially more AI visibility?
S
7:10Stephen BurnsGUEST
Yeah.
Common Crawl's Harmonic Centrality Explained: Boosting AI Visibility with CC Rank

So this is the deep memory to get your brand implanted into the brain of the owner.
J
3:35James DooleyHOST
And then with regards to that, so obviously Google uses PageRank as being the algorithm and Common Crawl is using Harmonic Centrality.
J
3:44James DooleyHOST
And there's a difference, like you've said there, between PageRank and Harmonic Centrality.
J
3:50James DooleyHOST
Why is it someone like Google would want to use your database? Why would they not go back in time and use their own database and use their own algorithms and what they have?
S

Many of these elements will download the corpus But they'll filter it.
