Google Ads Rep: "We've got some great ideas for how you can improve your campaign"

Google Ads Rep: "You should spend more"
Me: "..."
We asked twenty SEOs for their predictions of 2020....
Actually we didn’t, nobody actually gets anything useful from those sort of blog posts, so we just didn’t bother.
An enooooooorrrrrrrmmmous thank you to everyone who made this such a great few days: our trainers, speakers, staff, volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, suppliers and everyone who came down to Brighton to meet, learn and do their job a little better 💙

1/ We’re postponing April’s
#brightonSEO
events to our previously scheduled October 2020 dates. We’re disappointed but this is the right thing to do. All tickets will be automatically transferred.

If you're presenting at Brighton SEO this week and the nofollow change is throwing you off, I'm happy to take some time to gut-check any last-minute slide changes. Ping me at gutcheck.with.john @ & point at specific pages/slides.
Let's spread a little positivity: tag someone who has had
a positive influence on you/your career. Maybe it's a colleague you learned something from, the person that got you into the industry in the first place or just someone that gave you a handy piece of advice.
For the most comprehensive collection of
#brightonSEO
speaker decks, check out our website. Not every speaker chooses to share them and we are missing a couple but most of them are there.
When you get here, you’ll be able to customise your
#brightonSEO
badge with stickers to share your pronouns, the SEO topic(s) you’re interested in and (new for 2021!) how you’re comfortable with interacting with people.
Can you do us a favour? If you watch a talk and find it useful/inspiring/well presented, could you tell the speaker? They put a lot of work into their talks and positive feedback is so nice to receive. Most have their Twitter accounts linked from the website

Doors open at 9, talks start at 10.

If you’re coming by train, head out of the station and walk towards the sea. If your feet get wet, you’ve gone too far.
If you saw a great talk today (or more than one!) can you do us a favour? Can you tweet the speaker and tell them that you liked it or what your favourite bit was? It means a lot to them (and us) ♥️

You've been kidnapped.
Your kidnappers allow you to keep tweeting to pretend everything is alright.
What SEO advice would you tweet that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help?
Our

April 2020 needs you! Now is a great time to pitch a session for our next conference (not right this minute, you're probably a bit tired, but maybe next week?) We love to hear from new speakers so tag someone who should apply
Today, we’ve announced two new link attributes - “sponsored” and “ugc” - that join “nofollow” as ways to identify the nature of links. All will now work as hints about which links Google Search should consider or exclude for ranking purposes. More details:
Search volume is all over the place at the moment, some terms up loads and others down huge amounts.
What big shifts have you spotted? Our favourite is the *bounce* in searches for Trampolines
