Karma on Reddit isn’t just a number anymore. It reflects trust, visibility, and how much you’ve actually contributed. For brands, that means earning your place before asking for attention. www.searchenginejournal.com/reddit-karma... #reddit #marketing

Marketing dashboards aren’t broken because of data, they’re broken because we’re measuring the wrong things. Time to rethink what matters. #AIFirst #MarketingAnalytics www.linkedin.com/pulse/beyond...

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman (u/spez) just shared a new update on Reddit’s direction, and it’s one of the more open and forward-looking posts we’ve seen from the platform in a while. If you’re a brand, there are some key signals in what Reddit’s building: www.linkedin.com/posts/brentc...

Devicie partnered with OGS Media to break through on Reddit, leading to 2,000% visibility growth, six figure enterprise deals, and a trusted presence in key IT subreddits, all within one quarter. Check out the full case study here: www.linkedin.com/pulse/conver...

Definitely a weird mix of emotions being on Digg again, especially now with Alexis on the Digg side of the fence :) #digg

Perfection doesn’t connect. People do. After 20 years of speaking, I put together what actually works in presentations. #PublicSpeaking #PresentationTips #MarketingLeadership

Your best ideas don’t come when you’re trying to prove something.. they come when you’re curious enough to listen.

Reddit, with 97 million daily users, thrives on authenticity and niche community engagement. Success requires respecting subreddit rules, contributing value, and avoiding heavy promotion. Tools like Reddit Pro guide brands in creating genuine connections without disrupting conversations. #reddit

I was hoping someone would do a Reddit Mod World recap, as I think the AMA with CEO Steve Huffman was quite interesting. Overall if was a fun event and definitely was fun to see the mindset of current day mods :) #reddit

Great marketing isn’t about being seen everywhere; it’s about being seen in the right place, at the right time, with the right message. Do you know where your audience spends their time and when they need your support? Do you understand the right message for each stage of their journey?

"In business, success often comes from the risks others are unwilling to take. Reddit’s ‘difficult’ reputation is an opportunity, not a warning." ~me #reddit

New study shows Google's AI Overviews appear in nearly half of searches, influencing how users interact with search results. via @mattgsouthern.bsky.social #seonews #Google

Reddit is testing AI-powered "Reddit Answers" to improve search by summarizing community discussions and linking related content. Currently available to select U.S. users, it aims to address search challenges and keep users engaged on the platform. #redditnews

Reddit's Mod World kicking off soon. Should be interesting to hear what they have in store for all us mods on the platform, especially with the massive Reddit growth over the last year!

OpenAI announces new O1 language model, described by Sam Altman as the world's smartest, plus a Pro tier offering unlimited usage.

AI offers fresh self-reflection by uncovering unseen insights, like AlphaGo's game-changing move. Use prompts to explore new angles and discover things about yourself you might have missed. #ai #openai #chatgpt

Could we see a reignition of the Browser Wars? If OpenAI manage to build and launch an attractive browser with integrated AI features, it really could upset established digital ecosystems. Will be interesting to keep an eye on. www.reuters.com/technology/a...

I’ve been following BlueSky’s growth closely. The engagement here is impressive, and the open-web approach to link sharing is a breath of fresh air. It’s still early, but this platform feels like it’s on to something big.

Reddit's evolution from a US-focused platform to now passing X as the UK's 5th most popular social network (22.9M users) shows how much global impact it's gained. This shift really validates what many of us have seen coming. #redditnews

Half testing Feeds and half wanting a feed focused on Reddit, I have created the Reddit Radar feed : bsky.app/profile/did:... Like (+) and use #RedditNews or #RedditUpdate to contribute.

Over the past year, working with AI has transformed not just how I use it but also how I think about it. Reading The Coming Wave wasn’t a fun experience (thanks @sejournal.bsky.social), but it validated a belief I’ve had for years: AI progress often surprises us in ways we can’t predict.

Joined Loren Baker on SEO Rewind by @sejournal.bsky.social to talk about Google's latest update hitting major publishers hard right before Black Friday. Meanwhile, Reddit and Wirecutter are crushing it. Turns out people trust real community discussions more than quick affiliate content.

People ask me to pick my favorite AI. Truth is, they're all great at different things. Each AI excels differently: Claude for precise, complex work; Perplexity for quick, cited research; ChatGPT for creative brainstorming. The key is picking the right tool for your task. What's your go-to?

Had a great time with Michael Stelzner on the Social Media Marketing Podcast breaking down Reddit’s evolving role in marketing for 2024. If your considering engaging on Reddit as a brand, give this podcast a listen ;)

Reddit execs shared tips on leveraging the platform for business: build authentic connections, align with subreddit culture, and use Reddit Ads for engagement and reach. Dive into the full insights from their AMA on Search Engine Journal!

The wheel of time…

Was excited to hear ChatGPT had the Doll-E 3 integration, but after working with it for a bit it is clear that I cannot use it to make any graphics that I need the text to be accurate in :)

One of my girls snuck in and added some stuff to my whiteboard for motivation. Made my week!!

Whoa!!

Definitely worth the read 😜

If you’re not following, what’s going on at a really basic level with the governments case against Google, there’s a new episode out today on the daily, which covers the topic. open.spotify.com/episode/2wM4...

For years, likely since I bought one, Alexa has never failed to disappoint me. I guess I am more annoyed that I don’t learn and keep trying to talk to her, only to just tell her to turn off. If it wasn’t for the kids setting timers with her, I would have trashed it years ago.

Can you remember the first time you started using social media? If so, please share :)

You know for all my work in technology over the years, I have still yet to really take the time to understand how to use GitHub scripts. I get the concept of it, but the actual steps from A to Action still elude me. Anyone have a good 101 guide or video? #github

You know as a kid, when I would walk to school, I would always secretly imagine that the walls I walked by had secret doors and to this day if I ever build my own house I am absolutely building in hidden pathways and rooms, so I can feel like a kid escaping into a secret world :)

My son Chase cracks me up. He accidentally broke his monitor moving his desk around and his mother told him she will not replace it for him. I busted out laughing when he sent me the following in response to my good night message :)

So happy to have my good friend Purna Virji contributing to Search Engine Journal. Not only is she just an amazing person all around, her knowledge around content marketing is just impressive and someone worth following and learning from.

Feel free to follow @sejournal.bsky.social if you are interested in Digital Marketing news, articles, podcasts, webinars, and more!

It has been a goal of mine for years to implement a four day work week, 32 hours a week, at my company, and we finally were able to do it while participating in a very large study. I am so proud of my team and my partners for making this happen and making it successful. I hope it becomes the norm.

Had a great time taking all the kids to see the new Barbie movie. Lead to some interesting conversations with my girls.
