We went red for a moment; money from Buy Me a Coffee came in and saved us, but only for one week. #seocharity If you can spare $10 would be a great help Single donation (any amount) donate.stripe.com/6oE15C1Srfzn... A regular $10 a month donation buy.stripe.com/9AQ9C87cL4UJ...

Playing with Linear MCP, CCPM, and Claude Code. CCPM is the philosophy, but instead of using github, i use Linear for documentation, and prioritization. Just like any developer: - i don’t like to write documentation - i like to code and need to watch out for scope/function creep But this helps!

Or maybe start with this one 😈 open.spotify.com/track/4I8rYs...

For those of you who aren’t in Brighton. It’s Friday evening. Time to get in the mood with some electronic tunes from Slovakia open.spotify.com/track/7o37jK...

Lol, my son (5) filled in a ‘friend book’ of a classmate today. One question was: ‘what is your favorite thing at school’. His answer: ‘eating bread’ :)

This is AWESOME #n8n

A perfect tune to imagine yourself (or really be) on a Rotterdam dancefloor. Only smoke, occasional flashlight, and this open.spotify.com/track/6S7k7h...

Are you all stuffing keywords in footers like it’s 2004 again? Yeah, me too

This week was amazingly productive and a lot of fun, thnx to vibe coding and the #doevent. But now … i’m done. Weekend. Gonna tune in for SEO Office Hours, and after that it’s family time

Shit, just heard about the passing of @alanbleiweiss.bsky.social a friendly welcoming guy, no rockstar vibes at all (though he was one, did you see his hair in the 70s?), and definitely one to have in your team when fighting for the good cause. You will be missed :(

Started a variant of intermittent fasting today, and am already having a hard time. Still, so far, so good though. They say it’s healthy to sometimes let your fat westerneuropean priviliged body experience a small bit of hunger, so there goes. I wonder how far (not far?) i can take this :)

Let’s start our working day with an uplifting techno classic open.spotify.com/track/73Y3Xw...

Pro tip: if you are creating filters in Google Search Console to track branded impressions/clicks... you might also want to exclude the word "evaluate" 😅

2/2 because outside the news, many, many, many people are working to fix the problems. Investing time, energy, and money in it. Helping others. You can see it, if you look. They’re just not in the news.

1/2 Have we, as humanity, reached our peak? Are we smart enough to deal with the real problems we’re facing, most notably climate change? The news is filled with stupid people for sure. But i’m not talking about them. What’s ‘new’ isn’t important and vice versa. My answer: yes we are 💪🏼

Saturday afternoon. I have a very exciting life, as you can see. 😅

Calculating SEO value, but not with revenue. Oh, and some thoughts about rebranding SEO (spoiler: it is definitely NOT an acronym) -> open.spotify.com/episode/6y0Q...

Even though they ‘work’, i don’t like tricks. It’s simply not why i joined the Army of Web Optimizers™️. Plenty of alternatives too, always

Just wanted to share some joy we had yesterday. In particular for those who grew up in the 90s

Oh good! I can have a complete breakdown, analysis, and top 10 recommendations on how to recover from this specific core update, in about an hour!

Large Lying Models #justsaying

3/2 addendum ;) i forgot to name others, sorry! But it wasn’t about namedropping, but about a call to join us in a friendly, open, clubhouse chat on tuesday evening 20:00 CET/ 19:09 BSTime hosted by the great @jlwchambers.bsky.social @robina.bsky.social and @hellemans.me

2/2 h/t to folks like dorron shapow (is he on bluesky?), @jlwchambers.bsky.social @hellemans.me renee bigelow (same q) who i talk with about this every tuesday on bstime. We love to use embeddings and talk a lot about llms but keep our eyes on the prize

1/2 Embeddings are cool & useful, they are. I use them because of it. But it’s not about them. It’s about human behavior that it tries to influence. That is and remains the end goal. As an SEO, I’d say you better spend your time with things like consumer psychology, audience research, ux/cro, etc.

For fellow movie geeks (like @jlwchambers.bsky.social): i just saw this classics (one of my faves ever!) popping up on netflix: www.netflix.com/nl/title/589...

Am loving this by @alanbleiweiss.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/pulse/real-s...

A nice tune to start the day with some intelligent energy open.spotify.com/track/5PgJtm...

Pretty much all of these people (there are some children too of course) have voting rights and will use it #justsaying #nl

Hands down the best techno-track EVER. Convince me otherwise: open.spotify.com/track/6S7k7h...

Any fake profiles following me? #notrespondingsaysenough :p

eikhart.com/possibly-use... Looks better on BlueSky than on LinkedIn :p But yeah -> wrote this about ‘meta-images’, and how to create them

Chillin’ with the fam in the delta

Curious what you folks think -> www.linkedin.com/posts/ramone...

So who in Bluesky SEO will be in Brighton, already the day before the main event starts? (That would Wed, April 9). I’m early this time so if there are gettogethers or simply good conversations to be found, plz let me know!

Went down deep into a rabbit hole the last few weeks: visual search optimization. So it’s not about image sizes, but about what to put on images, and how. With which techniques etc. Why? Because Discover, because zero-clicks, because open graph etc.

This one is for the analytically inclined SEOs who like to tinker with BigQuery. Keywords: cost & speed optimisation, indexes, partitions, domains, ascii eikhart.com/possibly-use...

For all those who are going to work tomorrow, but don’t feel like going. Here is some motivation: m.youtube.com/watch?v=8iAb...

It is impossible for me to create a presentation without this Bruce Lee quote

I am going to brightonSEO & Hero Conf UK this April in Brighton. The world's leading conference for search marketing. Join me there! brightonseo.com

Turbulent times in history are like a road turn in a mountainous region: you MUST turn (or fall off a cliff). Your only choice is which way you do it. And it’s engineers who’ve built your car. Not that you care but still

Join us for a discussion about everything #SEO - from client reporting to AI agents and everything in between! I co-host this Clubhouse room every week with @hellemans.me & @robina.bsky.social as part of @thekraken.bsky.social's The SEO Community. Join us tomorrow, Tues 4 Feb 2025, at 19:00 GMT

Every Tuesday i tune in for BSTime hosted by @jlwchambers.bsky.social @hellemans.me and @robina.bsky.social BUT every time i’m at a loss for subjects to talk about. Sure, i have opinions, but need some help maybe. Anyone gave a nice SEO topic to discuss? (Ps: you’re welcome to join! It’s friendly)

Sure, smirk and call me a ‘boy with toys’ but i’m really looking forward to start my workweek with my shiny new mac mini m4 pro and extra 40” monitor 🙀

Just to be sure: i really like you folks. But New year’s resolution is that i, at maximum, spend 15 minutes per day on social media. It’s like dry January in more than one pov. It literally enlightens my day!

Here’s a Stoic thought about the scare many have about rapid changes coming our way, and us not being able to adapt quick enough. You should not be scared, because fear is the mind killer. Be like water instead. Or just be lucky to be in the right place at the right time. See you there? ;)

Global temperatures rose and extreme weather ramped up, but there were also some significant breakthroughs for the #climate this year. Here are seven quiet wins that may have gone under your radar in 2024.

May the PageRank be with you in 2025!

Happy 2025 all. Many things will suck for sure, but don’t let that get to you: every year since the beginning of time sucked. So it’s up to you to have fun / success / good times regardless 💪🏼
