No Hacks: Web Strategy for the AI Age
Your next million website visitors won't be human. Are you ready?
And most websites are completely unprepared. AI agents can't navigate them. LLMs don't cite them. Search engines no longer rank them the same way.
No Hacks is the podcast for SEO, CRO, and web professionals navigating this shift. Each week we explore what breaks, what works, and what to do about it before it becomes impossible to ignore.
Hosted by Slobodan Manic, consultant and speaker on Agent Experience Optimisation (AXO).

No Hacks: Web Strategy for the AI Age
34: Are Mobile Interstitials Acceptable in 2021?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we talked about mobile interstitials or what we often call popups which in 2016 was tagged as a negative ranking factor. But Google’s John Mueller recently announced some updates regarding the use of interstitials. Is it now acceptable? We discussed what changed and how to use it without affecting rankings.
