    1. Where did you find your best SaaS affiliates?
    2. You need qualifying sales to unlock PA-API and current prices to get the sales. How did you get through that window?

    1. AI search isn't replacing SEO. It's making it irrelevant for half the sites I audit.
    2. I analysed 2,891 Pinterest pins. Titles starting with a number got 2.9x more saves and 30% fewer clicks.
    3. Kept getting verification requests until I stopped using dedicated mobile proxy
