I think this miiight be the best feed for machine-learning news on Bluesky. It strikes a good balance between new/popular and whitelist/regex factors in the algorithm.

An interesting look at some of the web content/prompt injection methods.

This works for SEO problems too.

IT IS TIME.

Authentication for your personal crawlers & SEO tools is going to be more and more of a topic. This is a simple guide to get started (though I imagine it'll evolve significantly over time).

I enjoy pointing out to SEO folk that the introduction of the alt attribute (HTML 1.2, June 1993) predates the introduction of the first modern search engine (JumpStation, December 1993). It was always designed and intended as an accessibility feature.

On a non-SEO note, I recently stumbled across Lari Basilio - a Brazilian guitarist. I quite enjoy her music, maybe you'll find it cool too. I'm at a loss about how to describe the style, take a listen. open.spotify.com/artist/74cXa... www.youtube.com/channel/UCXZ...

How to make authentication accessible without frustration? Honestly, “never block copy pasting” should be tip number one in the list. So many forms still block it, it’s horrible for accessibility, and annoying for usability.

FYI on alt-text

SEOs please stop saying “The Algorithm”. There’s tons and tons of algorithms. Here’s just a very small example of sorting algorithms etc from my study app and these (and absolutely tons more) will be used in search.

In a flood of mediocre products, those who focus on people (real user needs, understanding the business, translating needs into solutions) will stand out. For Anton, the market flooded with AI-generated products is an opportunity, to stand out. Interesting mindset.

The best SEO strategy is to create the content that people are actually searching for. It's that simple

Most SEOs stop at reporting traffic. But traffic isn’t the business outcome... conversions are. In GA4, build this in 2 mins: 📍 Landing page + query string, source/medium 📍 Sessions, engaged sessions & key events 📍 Filter: google/organic Now you’ll see which content drives conversions.

The true definition of Blueskyism is "I need traffic from Bluesky."

What do they can the quarter pounder with cheese on Australia?

An introduction to heading accessibility, from empty headings, skipped heading levels, missing first-level headings, no heading structure, to “possible headings” (text styled to look like a heading but not marked up as one). These issues make navigation harder for screen reader and braille users.

3 easy steps to configure GA4 to group user referrers from AI systems.

I miss how WFH integrated everybody's kids into the workday. I love seeing your toddler come in and ask for snacks, or demand to sit on your lap. It was a mistake to create professional norms that require hiding your kids except for a little inanimate photo on your desk.

So long, and thanks for all the fishes, uhm, memories. I'll miss you, Mr Wiseguy. RIP @alanbleiweiss.bsky.social

Bluesky loves links — we don’t downrank or deprioritize posts with links in them, and as a result they get higher traffic, so lots of people post them.

Every now and then, the indexing team pings us about a site that's returning 404 on their homepage. "Do you think they're doing this on purpose? Maybe you can check." Are they doing it on purpose? Like for YES, Reshare for YES.

TIL When life gives you lemons Lemons are a man-made hybrid of citron and bitter oranges, and bitter oranges are a hybrid of mandarin and pomelo. Man made lemons. Not only did we make lemons, we add tartrazine for the ripe yellow color for $ even though they can be ripe when they're still green.
