A friendly reminder not to put too much stress on your body. I did, and now I’m sick af lol. Stressing about things usually doesn’t help. I hope everything goes your way. Sending good vibes ✨

I don't know how I feel about having Web Guide in the main search results and completely changing the way SERPs look

So how was AI cheese @johnmu.com? And do you recommend it?

I disappear from the internet for a bit, and the entire (most of it) is down. What a lovely way to come back to the web lol

I recently signed up for an app, and something about it made me realize how important communication is. So this is a finance-related app, and whenever I am doing something (like completing KYC or creating an account), they're not properly communicating that I have completed a step.

Why oh why do websites still implement slow scrolling on their normal ass websites, especially their blog section? I want to understand who this is helping? Users? Search Engines? Anything in between? Nothing? As an internet user, I would love it if this could be stopped lol. *rant finished*

SEO Salt, when a client asks you to just add some SEO.

I am seeing an absurd amount of posts that talk about an interesting thing, and instead of just giving you the info, they ask you to comment on a word and then they'll send you via direct message. I thought I was just seeing this on LinkedIn, but it's wild how popular this format is on Instagram

I was reading this newsletter edition by this person, a guide on a topic, and they had an insane amount of headings. They were using headings to make text bold. So the headings were not dividing sections properly. They were only used for styling purposes. I was pulling my hair when I saw this lol

I came across this new phrase today: "The map is not the territory". From what I understood so far, our mental models/plans/theories are compressed versions of reality. At the same time, the reality (territory) is often different and messy.

New in Search Console Insights: Query Groups. Makes it easier to track how things are changing (or not) for a group of similar queries from traditional search, AI Overviews, and AI Mode. #SEO #AEO developers.google.com/search/blog/...

I've started exploring Atproto outside of bluesky a bit and there's a reddit-like thing called nooki. So I made an SEO community. Let's see what happens! nooki.me/c/searchengi...

Our family used to have two cats, and now they're no longer with us. Those experiences made us so affectionate to them that whenever we see cats, our first instinct is to get closer to them, pet them, and give them some food.

I was reading about customer service and how customers often choose a company not because of its products, pricing, or features but because of its amazing customer service.

This could go either ways but hear me out: I find it weird that the chatbots/AI assistants are making their own web browser and they're going to be everywhere in the browser. Take ChatGPT Atlas or Comet by Perplexity for example.

I tested Scribe’s signup flow to understand its user experience In my quest to do more opinionated posts, I am tearing down onboarding of different SaaS tools to understand them from a user's perspective. I then shared some fixes that could have improved the experience.

Happy Diwali! We had so much fun enjoying the day and also had fun editing the video :)

If this year has done something amazing to me, it's my newest obsession- F1. I would have never thought that I would be obsessed with cars going in circles lol.

Saturday side quests: applying mehndi on my sister's hand. It took two hours but it was worth it :)

What have you done in your early career that you won't recommend doing now? I would say making low-quality backlinks and content (partly because it was part of my job lol)

When I started my freelancing journey, I did a few projects for free because I learned that that's what I gotta do for building reviews. But this is not something I would do if I were starting all over again. I guess we all learn from our mistakes.

I was going through my Reddit feed and saw that this guy said they need to know about fresh SEO strategies. Right now, their "SEO is guest posts, social bookmarking, and image submissions". And if you thought this was crazy, the replies are even crazier. Reddit is weird sometimes.

Since Diwali is coming, my sister and I decided to paint some diyas. It was a great experience and the end result is so worth it ❤️

I just saw someone say that AI visibility should become a KPI. This makes me wonder if any or every metric should be considered a KPI? Like you can't possibly make every metric a KPI. Or am I missing something here?

To the websites that block specific regions and countries, how do you feel when people from the blocked countries still access your website using a VPN? And now your data is skewed because your analytics say that they came from a different country than where they're from. What do you have to say?

Forget AI, what if I write a text and then Grammarly (premium) points out all the mistakes and rewords the sentences? In this case, is the sentence even mine?

I am wondering how can a news publication publish an article that references a story/survey/video by another website without even linking to it? I have seen quite a few examples till now. What in the links is this sorcery?

Being in between two careers feels weird- like how I am in between SEO and Product-led growth. I shared about the things that helped me in my journey in this new short post packted.com/weird-career...

I was checking my GSC reports and found out that one of the most popular articles on my site lost almost all the impressions and clicks. So I did a bit of digging. Turns out Google dropped it out of the index sometime ago. It's Crawled - currently not indexed. So, it's a quality issue ig.

I was browsing Product Hunt and that's when I came across this tool that can "vibecode" 100s of GEO optimized pages. Like oh my freaking gawddddddd See it for yourself psyke.co

Every time. Literally every single time I download a browser. Like, let me breathe. Don't ask me to make you my default browser when I don't even know how you're gonna work lol

I was checking out the Comet browser. And while I liked the cool intros and other things, I felt weird knowing that whenever I type something in the search bar, it opens up Perplexity, and now it is trying to give me an answer. I realized that having a search engine is much better than this

I downloaded my LinkedIn archive and found out I posted like 850 posts on LinkedIn since December 2021. It has been a crazy, wild journey posting there, and I don't think I have ever been so loyal to one platform, lol. I still think I could have posted more than this, but oh well

⚠️Security PSA: ⚠️ If anyone used Cancelo[dot]io SaaS - make sure you have removed their flow.js from your website. The domain expired, and someone has replaced the js with malware 👹

Here's what I am realizing lately: In the pursuit of writing polished posts on my website, I am ending up writing nothing. And it's been a while since I've been giving my website enough love and attention. It was the one thing that sparked my interest in SEO.

Yo, what the hell? I just find out about Vibe SEO. Like was vibe coding not enough? And SEO already has a bad reputation, and yeah sure adding vibe SEO on top of seems like a good idea. Smh.

You know what I REALLY hate? I visit this website often, even multiple times a day from the same browser. And every single time I visit, I get this huge ass screen and I have to wait and click on the checkbox to enter. And this is an SEO agency website. Like, please don't do this to me 😭

Up until now, the meme was that working in SEO makes you bald, but my hair is turning white. Is this a new evolution in the hair space lmao?

You know the world has evolved when we already have articles with 2026 on them when it's just September. Like seriously?

Today, I watched this video on YouTube at 2x speed and realized that I could go faster. But then I found out that 2x is the highest speed :'(

I might be able to understand the secret to the universe and quantum physics, but I can never understand the sticky keys. Like what are theyyyy and why does my computer say it like that??? (Meme stolen beautifully from Reddit)

I realized that whenever I have to dump ideas, I open Google Translate and start writing there, when the real use is to translate stuff. It's not the most efficient thing. But I use it because when I open the URL, I am immediately met with the text box where I can write immediately.

The more I work with tools, the more I realize how much time-saving shortcuts can be. For example, a big part of my work involves Google Docs. Over time, I learned a few of the most important shortcuts helpful in doing things. Even as simple as using a shortcut to make text small or big.

I had a good run, folks. Gotta pack my bags and move to the mountains lol /s

I gave my primary laptop for repair and am using a second laptop for a few days, and now I realize how I have signed up for a million things lol

So, notice how everyone has their own definition of SEO, GEO/AEO/LLMO, and marketing. This only makes me think how wrong people are about SEO in the first place. My thought is that people didn't get the point.

Everyone talks about onboarding your clients (Okay, maybe not that much), but what about offboarding? How do you off-board your clients?
