Jack Chambers-Ward (@jlwchambers.bsky.social) explains that you should create content that you'd genuinely enjoy as a reader yourself, saying that if it doesn't engage you, it won't engage others. maj.to/4hJe7oM

Big happy birthday to partner in podcast crime @jlwchambers.bsky.social 🎂 (Predator 2 is still a great film, I hope you will see this with age)

Keeping up with traditions, @sarahmcduk.bsky.social, Tazmin & @jlwchambers.bsky.social are hosting the live podcast recording of #TheSEOMindset @withcandour.co.uk on the eve of @brightonseo.com 🇬🇧 in October! It’s the perfect way to meet new people, exchange ideas and learn something new!

I don't know how many people notice that every Core Updates newsletter @jlwchambers.bsky.social (or me, very rarely) writes the titles for the SEO tips with a reference to some film, series, pop-culture or something. I heard today's references play in my head before I got it 🎸😆

We're looking forward to the talk @jlwchambers.bsky.social is preparing for #brightonSEO UK in October. In "The future of content with zero clicks", Jack will provide practical advice and strategies to help content creators survive the seismic shifts in search. brightonseo.com/events/octob...

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." - Frank Herbert, Dune.

Rough time for capital G Gamers right now

I'll be speaking for the first time in October!😱 Thanks so much to the @brightonseo.com team! And thanks to friends like @myriam.dopamine.builders, @sequinsnsearch.bsky.social, @sarahmcduk.bsky.social, @yordan-dimitrov.com & @sarafdez.bsky.social for all of your support! 🤘See y'all in October!🤘

The sheer concentration of SEO intelligence in this video is astonishing. Listen to these people, they Know Things. (Also @myriam.dopamine.builders casually throwing in some French philosophy is delightful and soooo on point.)

The passing of Jordan Breen has hit me even harder than I thought. Jordan was a huge inspiration on me and it's safe to say I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for him. I'm a podcaster, and training for my first MMA fight right now because Jordan inspired me to try both 15+ years ago.

Really sorry to hear about the passing of veteran MMA reporter Jordan Breen. Few people embodied the quirky culture of a bygone period in the sport's history like this brilliant, unique dude. R.I.P.

RIP Jordan Breen one of one

Jordan Breen’s interviews with Antonio Nogueria, Nick Diaz, and Gus Johnson are the stuff of legends

This might be one of our best episodes ever. And I hardly say a word in it! An all-star panel of @dawnieando.bsky.social, @jono.id, @myriam.dopamine.builders & @chris-green.net joined me to discuss AI Mode, the future of #SEO, Google's role as a publisher and so much more. youtu.be/50HX5c3mv-U?...

This is one of the best episodes Mark & I have ever recorded together. Google IO was FULL of big announcements, we answered questions from the audience and we also highlighted some opinions from the SEO community too!

Well, I've just submitted my first proper speaking pitch for @brightonseo.com in October 2025. That's a perfectly normal thing to spontaneously do on a Sunday afternoon, right? 😅 Fingers crossed🤞🏻

Me whilst I refresh my podcast player - "I haven't seen a new @aepodcast.bsky.social for a few weeks now, wonder when the next one's out. And then...

I legit lost my voice for almost 2 weeks because we do SO MANY JASON STATHAM IMPRESSIONS in this episode. These are the sacrifices we make for podcasting.

Next week, I'll be hosting an all-star SEO panel of @chris-green.net, @dawnieando.bsky.social, @myriam.dopamine.builders & @jono.id to discuss tracking data from AI Overviews & AI Mode! Does Google owe us this data? Was this a mistake that they'll fix? Do clicks & impressions even matter anymore?!

What did you think of #GoogleIO? 🤔 @markwilliamscook.com & I will be breaking down AI Mode, agentic search and all of Google's important SEO updates and we want to hear from you 🫵 Share your thoughts, questions and #SEO hot takes in the comments below and we'll discuss them on the podcast ⬇️

I'm very proud to join the @fandomentalspod.bsky.social hattrick club! A huge thanks to Harley for creating such a great podcast and letting me be a guest so regularly!

It's Tuesday, you know what that means... It's BS Time live on Clubhouse at 19:00 BST tonight! Every Tuesday, I gather with some of the smartest SEOs and we talk about everything from current SEO news to helping each other solve problems! It's a welcoming group so there's no excuse not to join us!

This YouTube comment was left on a Search with Candour episode yesterday. I've always seen it as: @markwilliamscook.com is the one who knows what he's talking about. I'm the one who makes occasional jokes. I'll definitely be describing myself as "Professional with a splash of fun" now on though 😎

I am writing for a UK dog harness and collars brand, and would like to hear from dog experts/behaviourists/vets why dogs hide their toys? Does it say something about how the dog feels, or the relationship with their owner? Are there particular breeds more prone to doing this? #journorequest #dogs
