Yay! Bluesky has bookmarks now! Whether I’ll revisit them is another matter, but I like the feeling of aspiring to do so.

OpenAI offering keyword suggestions like an SEO tool, including the expired dates that appear in both

Sometimes the Gospel reading for the day throws down a challenge.

Bye Bye CrUX Dashboard, I'll always be nostalgic for your stacked bars of Goodness: developer.chrome.com/blog/crux-da... You can use tamethebots.com/tools/cwv-hi..., the cruxvis.withgoogle.com or one of the many other great free tools that use the CrUX History API.

Happy Yes Day! It’s 9/01/25 (US) and I’m listening to one of my all-time favorite albums. Blasted the heck out of this in my youth. Already loved classic progressive Yes but my friends and I embraced the new sound of 80s and the original intense Owner of a Lonely Heart video on MTV.

NY Mag says "SEO Is Dead. Say Hello to GEO." But the keys to success in AI search are, checks notes, clear writing and good press coverage. archive.is/NunPq

Understandable but disappointing for smaller organizations looking for a GA4 alternative.

We joined in the #nokings rally in Arlington, Virginia today. Well organized and lots of support.

Great show tonight by Tajmo (Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo”)

Washington problems: Walk from Metro to office interrupted by a motorcade

I’m team AEO/GEO is really SEO. Different engines and surfaces? Sure. Longer queries? Yep. Third-party endorsements? As always. The tools will change and so will how you apply the techniques. But we’re still trying to get a brand shown as what will satisfy a searcher’s intent.

Great interview with Bluesky's CEO on not downranking links and the future of social. Refreshing perspectives from a social platform leader. www.wired.com/story/big-in...

I asked AI tools to help me: “I heard someone mention HTPs or similar in reference to a medical audience. Any ideas?” 🥇 ChatGPT win this round with health technology professionals ❌ Google went with “https” ❌ Claude, Gemini, Nova, Grok offered heated tobacco products + other medical conditions

It’s May the 4th so of course we had to see The Empire Strikes Back

Fabulous #SEOweek presentation to help us focus on information retrieval rather than bickering over labels.

Our Holy Week tradition includes watching Jesus Christ Superstar. This year was the John Legend/NBC version. Might not be for everyone but works for us.

If every other service is adding AI then I guess AI will start adding other services

Good detective work so far by @simoncox.com on getting un-deindexed by Bing

Final Four delivers two amazing games! 🏀

Since January 2024, Wikimedia saw a 50% jump in bandwidth used for downloading multimedia content — largely from LLMs. Is it time for an LLM common crawl? diff.wikimedia.org/2025/04/01/h...

Amii Freeman giving us another E to EEAT. Empathy is so important when we work on content and want to add more depth.

Happy Pi Day from your pal, Mark πlves, and this guy here 🥧

Stop giving away your website traffic - why LinkTree et al are doing you no favours:

Just got laid off. If you know of anyone hiring an SEO, and in particular a technical SEO, lmk. Thanks.

Got our #ashtag on for Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent

@mordyoberstein.bsky.social May your birthday be on brand. Or preferably better! (Algorithm: please note this gif is not a request for this type of content)

I saw Nickel Boys and The Substance this weekend — still have whiplash. Couldn’t be two more differently imaginative movies.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I'm working on this year’s Gender Gap in SEO report, but I have some doubts: 🤔 Do SEO publications still matter? Or are we shifting toward other channels? 📊 Quick 2-3 min survey. I’d love your input! 👉 Take it here: surveymonkey.com/r/seo-public... Results will be public 😄

Ok the Seal ad made me lol

Gemini AI trying to speak regex out loud. 🙃 “https skeptical smiley face caret plus plus less than P greater than q word less than /P…”

Top shared links on Bluesky — reminds me of that Sparktoro aggregator or Nuzzel/Nozzel, both killed by Twitter. theblue.report

ChatGPT to help with domain names brainstorming? Fed it the brief. Came up with one decent name I hadn’t thought of. Utterly failed on domain availability—wrong answers or reported on the wrong domains. So, an assist. But I’ll handle the DNS lookups myself.

As seen on today’s walk. Is this related to tariffs on Canada?

Sign: Wash your hands for 20 seconds. Automatic faucet: Here's five seconds of water. Automatic soap dispenser: <wheeze> I got nothing.

Does this hat make me look like a Lego minifig?!

Finally got the Google Daily Listen podcast to appear in Discover after signing up in Labs a while back. Good customized topic coverage. I missed the variable speed button so had to listen at a painful 1x speed.
