Who I Am
Mikhail Drozdov (known online as Casinokrisa) works at the intersection of search systems, AI, and platform distribution. I focus on how systems decide what gets seen (and why), and how to build visibility that compounds.
I write about how visibility is produced: by search engines, AI systems, and platforms that decide what gets surfaced and what gets ignored.
My path (context)
I care about mechanisms, not slogans. Over time, the same pattern kept showing up across projects: the outcome is rarely "one tactic" -- it's the system around discovery, interpretation, and trust.
That is what this site is: a public notebook of the models I use to reason about visibility.
What I do today
- SEO (indexing-first): discovery -> crawl -> indexing -> interpretation -> surfaces (including AI Overviews).
- AI in marketing (systems, not prompts): workflows, quality gates, and distribution loops.
- Strategy + analytics: measurement that maps to decisions and compounds over time.
What This Blog Covers
- SEO & search systems: indexing, ranking, entities, topic authority, AI Overviews, and why "optimization" is becoming interpretation.
- AI in marketing: orchestration, workflows, and how AI changes content production and distribution.
- Marketing strategy: how analytics, positioning, and execution connect into one system.
- Platform dynamics: incentives, trust signals, and the mechanics behind "who gets seen".
How I Write
I write research-style essays: clear claims, concrete mechanisms, minimal fluff. If a link is there, it is because it genuinely continues the idea.

Start with the pillar, then use the hub to go deeper with checklists and fixes.
Prompts are not a system. This path is about orchestration, quality gates, and distribution.
A small-team operating model: positioning, loops, and analytics that map to decisions.
