Most eCommerce brands running external traffic aren't scaling — they're just spending.

Wrong channels, no real attribution, and at the end of the month, still no clear answer to the only question that matters: what actually moved your BSR?

The brands getting it right aren't necessarily spending more. They've just stopped guessing. They know which channels pull weight on Amazon listings, which ones look good in a dashboard but bleed budget, and why creator traffic consistently outperforms paid social on ROI when it's set up correctly.

Levanta put together a free playbook breaking down 7 proven external traffic strategies. Inside you'll see how top brands are driving millions in off-Amazon revenue and why most channels underdeliver when brands don't know what to look for before they start spending.

If you're serious about growing outside of PPC, this is worth 5 minutes.

(Futurism) - Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is warning of another way that embracing AI could doom a business.

In an interview Sunday, Nadella cautioned against sharing too much information, ranging from proprietary data to the prompts entered, with a third-party AI model. Instead, he recommended that businesses should make sure they retain all the data on how employees use AI tools so they can eventually train or fine-tune their own open-weight model.

This can be accomplished by using AI gateways, which serve as a protective intermediary. “Any firm that doesn’t have this control, I will claim will not remain a firm because you’ve essentially outsourced your thinking,” Nadella said on an episode of CNN‘s Fareed Zakaria GPS, as spotted by TechCrunch.

That’s a striking claim — and an ironic one, since outsourcing your thinking is arguably exactly the point of using AI, of which Microsoft is a leading vendor. Nadella, in a nutshell, is saying that heavily relying on proprietary AI software could also be a company’s undoing. Read more
