It’s that time of year again, it’s Google I/O, Google’s annual developer conference. The most eagerly awaited part is the keynote which starts with a look at the products we can expect in the coming year.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, May 19 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET. Although hosted by Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Google leadership at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California, the event was also broadcast live.
You can watch it on Google’s YouTube channel or the dedicated I/O 2026 page. There’s also an ASL live stream.
What can we see
Last week we looked ahead with the Android Show, where Google detailed how Android is moving from an operating system to an intelligence system across a product called Google Intelligence, showed off Android 17 features like Pause Point to reduce distractions, presented the overall design of Android Auto, and gave a brief look at what we can expect from a new category of AI-powered laptops called GoogleBooks.
How does it benefit I/O keynotes? Nothing has been officially announced beforehand, but there is a lot we can speculate about.
We can take a better look at Google Books. Apart from seeing the Glowbar at the top and AI at the bottom, there aren’t many details in the Android Show, especially for businesses and schools that rely on fleets of Chromebooks.
In a world where the use of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, for better or worse (mostly worse), becomes commonplace, we will probably see some Android XR powered smart glasses.
Pixels may appear on both the phone (Pixel 11) and watch (Pixel Watch 5). Pixel 11 rumors have been swirling for months, ranging from Face Unlock to RAM cuts due to shortages.
And, of course, we expect updates on all things Gemini. AI has reached and can be said to control all corners of Google today. There could be an immediate reveal of Gemini 4 or simply an update on how it’s emerging across the ecosystem.
Whatever happens, AP remains in the field and ready to report what happens.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
