Those using Twitter fleets, be aware:
It's possible to view deleted fleets via Twitter's api endpoint, to view existing fleets without giving the poster a read notification and you can do both of these things without being logged into Twitter.

To be clear, this was just a spin on the 'I forced a bot meme' combined with a video from reddit today to demonstrate how I feel about the current AI/ML trend and my general disinterest in cycling. Something, something schadenfreude.
No surprises:
-> Google hiding site URLs in search results
-> Google Chrome hiding site URLs in browser
= Less people conscious of URL ("was it .com or .co.uk?")
= More people Googling instead of direct navigating
= More ad revenue for Google 💰

A huge change for

This will make the best PAA research tool essentially free for many people who only need light usage now.
Give it a go! 😊
SEO: "You need to write at least 1,000 words. Ranking studies show long content ranks better"
Same SEO: "I don't get it. I've been standing in the gym 10 hours a week and I'm not any fitter. My study clearly showed the longer people spent inside a gym the fitter they are!"
Every single working day since the last forever, I have published a short "unsolicited"

SEO updates that you ✨NEED✨ to know [8 Jul]:
⏳ Google Search Console data experienced significant delays that are now resolved. Many users reported no clicks or impressions from 29 June - 3 July with delays of more than 100 hours.

On 5th March I submitted an exploit to the Google Bug Bounty that allowed me to view some variables for websites, including non-public metrics used for ranking. They rewarded it with the maximum abuse bounty (which is being donated to charity). I am going to share what I found:
This is what is wrong with the SEO industry, yesterday:
Potential client: So we want to start SEO and double the number of leads we are getting in 3 months.
Me: That's very unlikely to happen.
Potential client: I've had 2 quotes from SEO agencies already
Currently stranded in Berlin and not sure what is going on.
It appears one of the other directors has cancelled all of my booked flights, despite me being on work trips to upload photos for our SEO 🥲
If you're having trouble recognising people at conferences like
@brightonseo
by squinting at them to see if they look like their Twitter avatar, I have used GPT-3 and said "add the rest of the body" to see what they look like. ⬇️
It pisses me off seeing companies pushing the "come back to the office" under the guise of universal mental health.
Work from home was never the issue, the isolation of lockdown was.
Some people are much happier working from home, some the office. Don't use MH for your agenda.
We launched one of the final feature updates for today! 🚨

SEO updates you ✨NEED✨ to know [29 July]:
⛔ It has been confirmed that Reddit is now blocking Bing and, apparently, all major search engines except for Google, from crawling their website. Reddit denies this is connected to the $60M Google data deal.
🔍 OpenAI has launched
Here’s our statement on today’s decision in the DOJ case:
“This decision recognizes that Google offers the best search engine, but concludes that we shouldn’t be allowed to make it easily available. We appreciate the Court’s finding that Google is ‘the industry’s highest quality
Pet hate: When a potential client receives a web build quote and are told "Don't worry, the SEO is included in the build". 🤔
Does that mean the migration? IA planning / internal linking? Does it mean schema has been considered?
No, it probably means Yoast has been installed.
SEO updates you NEED to know [13 May]:
🤑 OpenAI will allow publishers to pay for 'priority placement' and 'richer brand expression' according to a leaked document about their upcoming Preferred Publisher Program.

I feel sorry for people in the

SaaS space.
SaaS provider: "We built this tool" 🛠️
SEO: "This is AMAZING and will help me so much in my job, thank you!" 😆
SaaS provider: "Can I have $5 for it?" 🤔
SEO: "Over my dead body you crook! I'd rather do it manually again" 😡
😂
Remember
#SEO
friends, Google is releasing that broad core update today which means:
i) Loss in ranking? Totally because of the update and could not have been avoided. Bloody Google.
ii) Improved ranking? 100% because of your efforts and your efforts alone.

How do the tools and tactics differ from small sites? How do you solve internal linking challenges? Are big sites cheating?

"Google is not about blue links. It’s about organizing the world’s information - AI will provide answers, not a list of websites"
Ok.. But the blue links is how the creators make the money to create... So what happens when you kill them?
Just did my absolute favourite job of the year, which is individually telling all the team what they are getting this year as part of the agency profit share scheme. 🎅
No better way to celebrate success than to simply share the reward with the people that made it happen 😊
I respect people that work full time on social media. I post SEO stuff every day to LinkedIn and it's probably the task that requires the most mental resilience.
It's an unending clamour of negativity, nitpicking, bullshittery and sometimes plain nastiness. It's exhausting.
I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong, so hat in hand here.
I'm really surprised the community, especially
@iPullRank
missed this when reviewing the API leak.
Looks like you're busted

If SEO was like baking a nice cake, too many SEOs would determine "sugar is a ranking factor" by looking at popular cakes and then wonder why Google doesn't like their 2kg of molten sugar coming out of the oven. 🤌
"Any SEO tool will spit out 10s or 100s of 'recommendations', most of those are going to be irrelevant to your site's visibility in search. Finding the items that make sense to work on takes experience."
