The Dateless Third: A Third of What Google’s AI Cites Has No Publication Date
A third of everything Google’s AI Overviews cite carries no publication date at all, rising to 55.7 percent on transactional queries. The dateless pages are product pages and videos, not blog posts, and that changes who you are actually competing with.

AI Overviews Don’t Reward Fresh Content, They Punish Stale Content: A 156-Page Study
We dated 156 pages across 18 Google AI Overviews. Cited pages were barely fresher than the ones Google ignored, and no newer at publish. The only clear gap: very stale pages get dropped. It’s a staleness penalty, not a freshness premium.
