Seems like goal of posting this is to laugh at this guy?
Dude’s not hurting anyone and crushing those moves. Good for him.
We live in weird times where this has to even be said.
Today my niche site is exactly 6 months old and just surpassed 33,000 pageviews/month. 📈
All this time, I’ve been learning and iterating on how to write the best INFORMATIONAL POST 📝 possible.
Here’s 6 MONTHS of learning, distilled down to 10 MINUTES. ⏳

Always weird to me that anyone tries to “fix” the mechanics of an athlete at the top of their game.
It’s like when people criticize Scottie Scheffler’s footwork.
They’re

Are we fixing these things so one day they can be

Beyond the timing of the ask here being insane, this is 100% one of those parents who use their kids to ask for autographs they can later sell.
You spend hours researching 🔬 and writing ✍️ your posts.
SO, why don’t you spend even a minute on your TITLE TAG?
It will be the first thing searchers see, and it can have a HUGE impact on CTR. 🎯
Here’s EXACTLY how I approach Title Tags.

If you have a YouTube video embedded in a post, here’s a huge performance hack that takes just a few seconds.
Took my latest post from mid 50s to high 80s with just this one change…
…and it’s not a plugin.
I’m under 6 months into my first niche website and just surpassed 20,000 Pageviews in the last 30 days. 📈
Here’s some of the LESSONS I’ve learned and STRATEGIES I’ve deployed along the way.
🧵👇
In just over 6 months, I’ve published 120 long-form informational posts, and surpassed 38,000 pageviews/mo. 🚀
I’ve been able to achieve this, with a demanding full-time job, due in large part to a single strategy…
BRAND SWAPPING. 🔄

After reading the original thread all the way through, I can’t for the life of me figure out why Boz thought it was a good idea to chime in here at all. 🤣
Wasn’t there when this all happened and immediately stood down when challenged.
Tough look.
We live in a time, where without any permission or prior experience, you can create a site out of thin air in under 11 months that starts printing 100 bucks a day.
Tons of hard work, but man what a time to be alive. ✌️

If you’re having keyword research paralysis, here’s my “turning over stones” method that always works for me:
1️⃣ Google the top 100 “terms” or “lingo” in your niche.
2️⃣ Search each term using SEMRush Keyword Magic Tool.
3️⃣ Filter for KD of 0-29 and Intent: Informational.
Now I'm freeeeeeeeeee

This May core update is starting to look like a manual action against my site…except it’s not. 🤣

Establishing TOPICAL AUTHORITY doesn’t happen by accident. 📣
You should be INTENTIONAL about how you attack content clusters.
I achieve this with the help of 2 primary documents:

My wife and I visited St. Dominic Basilica in Sienna, Italy a couple years back.
Within the church behind some glass is the actual severed, mummified head of Saint Catherine of Siena.
From the 1300s! Pretty wild.
Her right thumb is also there but never stood a chance…
Cliché as it is, having a baby reignites the genuine, primal feeling of endless possibility…
…in a bizarre way, makes you feel like a kid all over again.
Have a Sunday! ✌️
The boy has arrived. 😄😄
A little overnight stay at the NICU, but released this morning and both Mom and baby are doing great.

Fundamentally, Elon believes people are more productive in the office…and in many cases I’m sure there’s truth in that.
But we have an open and competitive job market so morality has nothing to do with this issue…at all.
Still plugging away while traffic remains MAJORLY suppressed.
I seem trapped in the ~10k/mo pageview range.

This is the “if you don’t buy coffee you can be a millionaire” mentality on steroids.
But for a dollar def a solid ROI on his and everyone else’s time. 🙃
The organic traffic rollercoaster isn’t for everyone.
🟢 2000 PVs/day ➡️ 500 PVs/day
🟢 $100/day ➡️ $15/day
Weathering the storm and patiently waiting for the pop. ✌️

🟢 April 20th: 20,000
🟢 May 4th: 30,000

Wow.
Looks like as part of the deal, PENN has the right to 50% of Portnoy’s gross proceeds from any subsequent sale.
But Portnoy just double dipping all over the place.

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), is 1 of the 3 major components of your Google Core Web Vitals, but it’s not often talked about.

As worded, this update should wipe out all the sites that have been using AI to bulk publish content.
Was always a short term game.
Find out soon enough…
Today we announced the March 2024 core update & new spam policies that, in combination, are designed to show less content made to attract clicks and more content that people find useful. Learn more:
And a piece of advice.
When you first start out - you DON’T have a logo, theme, or site speed problem…
…you have a NO ONE IS VISITING YOUR SITE problem.
High quality, surprisingly helpful content is what generates traffic.

MKBHD’s entire brand IS truth telling.
That’s why he has 18M subs in the first place.
It’s not like the Humane team lacks resources - they’ve raised over $200 million.
Maybe listen to his review and make a better product…
I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers.
Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness.
First, do no harm.
This Cloudflare firing is an all around hack job.
My immediate thoughts:
1. How on earth could you let someone on the team YOU manage be fired by anyone but YOU? Fire her manager.
2. Anyone can get let go at anytime. Act accordingly.
