Well, this is very helpful, isn't it lol

Why are apps suddenly losing end-to-end encryption? Bluesky doesn't have it, nor does TikTok and Reddit. And now Instagram is dropping it. What's going on?

What happens when two of your favourite things (chocolates and F1) combine? This! And omg I loved it soooo much :)

Omg, Semrush changed their brand identity and redid their website and stuff. I am not sure how I feel about this new color scheme and brand identity

To all my fellow independents and consultants, you are not charging enough. This was your daily reminder.

You might or might not know how popular the "Disavow link service" is. Agencies and independents either charge this separately or include it in their services. Sigh.

I felt like the text size on my site is just too big. So, what am I doing on Saturday? Breaking my site cause it is getting very messy right now lol

I have seen random characters in URLs, but parentheses are kinda new

Omg I finally completed all the 7 courses that were in the Google AI Professional Certificate <3 I learned things like how to prompt Gemini well, use NotebookLM well, analyze data, and even do vibe coding. I genuinely never used Google AI Studio before this course. Now it's my favorite lol

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

This is going to be VERY delulu, but: Do we need all these AI developments and stuff to do our work? I am reading about how Perplexity is introducing Perplexity Computer, and this thing operates like a computer, creating tasks and sub-tasks, and can run for hours or months.

Yesterday I enrolled in the Google AI Professional Certificate on Coursera, and I already completed like 57% of the course. So far it is nice and gives good tips on things like how to prompt right. I hope to finish the course today :)

Trying to remember my lines while trying to stand on this at the same time lol P.S. New video about what to look for in an SEO consultant coming soon ✨

I am writing the script for a video that I'll do for The SEO Community's YouTube channel, and I thought of asking you: What makes an SEO Consultant better than the others? Like what makes an SEO consultant good (if that makes sense)

All the analytics tools are going crazyyy right now for my site. - GSC thinks my site is ded - Bing webmaster tools think my site is finally getting some attention - PostHog thinks the site is doing better than ever - GA4 thinks my site is on life support Do I even know what SEO is at this point?

Just so people get a feeling how much 2MB HTML actually is, I made this (3MB+) monster: experiments.geekonaut.de/3mb-behemoth I know - nobody asked but here we are. You are welcome.

[Rant] I never understand why some customer service people address me as 'sir', especially on chat I was talking to this person on chat because I wanted to resolve some issue, and they were addressing me as sir. On WhatsApp. Like, do they not see my profile pic or something? I am genuinely curious

In today's news: We found that on one hand, John Mueller recently said, "Converting pages to markdown is such a stupid idea". www.searchenginejournal.com/googles-muel... A few inches later... Cloudflare: Introducing Markdown for Agents blog.cloudflare.com/markdown-for...

*Trying to remember the lines but failing miserably* New video coming soon :)

I was reviewing all the things I purchased last year and thought of asking you this: 1. What is your favorite purchase of last year (or top three if you can't pinpoint one) 2. What is your least favorite purchase (or the one you regret buying)

I collected a bunch of stickers from Google, Better Stack, PostHog, and Porkbun over the years. Today I thought of finally giving in and applying them to my (old) laptop. I don't know when I'll be sticker-fying my current laptop haha :)

I was updating meta titles and descriptions of some pages and writing them in a Google Sheet. I then realized that it would be better to visualize them on the real page using Chrome DevTools.

In our collaboration series with The SEO Community, I made a video on aha moments in SaaS Products. I explain what these aha moments are, why they're important, how to measure them, and share a few examples to make it easy to understand. Here's the video: youtube.com/shorts/B-z0Z...

Okay, let's talk about CAPTCHA. So, for example, this one asks me to mark all squares with bicycles. But the thing is, do I select this square that has a tiny bit of the bicycle showing?

Why did Google facepalm when I asked a question? We'll find out about this in the next video:

One of the things I am doing these days is making a conscious habit of reading the ingredient list and the nutritional label on a food product. For example, the other day I was looking at this coconut water in a bottle. It seems interesting, and then I flipped the bottle. lol.

I was reading about Sean Ellis's Product Market Fit survey and thought how cool it would be if I could ask this question to people who read articles on my website. So, I tested this with one of my articles that performs very well using PostHog's Survey features.

I have been making a few YouTube shorts lately. It's not a lot, but from what I have seen, I learned something. When you post a Short and aggressively share it on social media, it doesn't perform well organically. I am not sure why.

A new character is unlocking over at Packted's YouTube Channel Video is dropping soon :)

I remember a few years ago, I wanted to copy the text from an image, and I downloaded a Chrome Extension that only allowed 5 images per month to extract text from for free And now you literally can do that for free What a world we live in lol P.S. Now I feel like I am centuries old :(

Little reminder: Go say the good, positive things out loud. I sometimes forget to tell the people I enjoy being around that I feel that way. Same with saying out loud when I like something. Praise should be loudly and proudly spread! Go do that!

You know what I really love? Making videosss where I can jump and run around. @adriennekmetz.com saw this and asked me if I could make a video for The SEO Community's YouTube Channel. And I did!

You know what I really dislike? Salespeople who only act nice to you only to sell you their thing, and when you do purchase, they don't even acknowledge your presence. So, I was in need of a new pair of frames for my specs because they were getting tight and uncomfortable to wear.

I got an email today from Google Maps saying one of my reviews got 500 views. I wondered which one it is. As it turns out, when this company employed me, they asked us to leave a fake review for one of their clients just so they could rank higher in search.

I have a love-hate relationship with Google Chrome. Some days I love it so much that I can't get enough of it. Other days, it consumes a LOT of RAM, and I end up finding a new browser. And then it takes me a bunch of hours to sign in to different things.

I don't know much about what kinds of users Slack is building the product for but I am noticing something: While a lot of functionality and language inside Slack is geared towards company teams, I am seeing a lot of communities built within Slack.

Me when someone says they prefer GEO to SEO:

It is very interesting to see that different YouTube channels are sponsored by Ahrefs. I first saw that they sponsor a Linus Tech Tips video, and now also on Good Work. I am a fan of both channels, and I just find it interesting.

I have not been receiving any web analytics events in my @posthog.com dashboard for the last 10 days, and I was wondering why that is. GA4 seems to work fine. I didn't bother to check much, and the pageviews were literally zero for all this time.

Siri = Gemini

Whoop whoop! Almanac is out! Really enjoyed being an analyst this year for the page weight chapter, & am hugely impressed by what @not-a-robot.com & @barkseo.bsky.social wove with that data. 👏 to @montsecano.bsky.social for editorial chops & of @tunetheweb.com, who is a whole new plane of helpful!

Apparantly people paste their whole article in a Reddit thread and it ranks better than their actual article. Wow.

I can has a vote for this photo of mine please? 😇 poty.lcegroup.co.uk/contest/poty...

ChatGPT Translate is in town. I compared it with Google Translate with the same text and translated it to Hindi, and here are some things I noticed: - ChatGPT shows more em dashes (well, obviously, I guess)

I was looking at this contractor job posting, and they required the EF SET test. I never heard of it, so I decided to give it a shot and see how good/bad I am. Long story short, after 90 minutes of giving tests, my score was 74 out of 100, which is apparently C2 Proficient.

I’m making my paid course free. A few years ago, I created a niche course on building custom reports in GA4. I made it because the default GA4 reports aren’t that useful when you’re trying to get the exact data you need. So I learned the process and turned it into a course.

From what I understand about writing (content or anything), is that chasing perfection and trying to be polished could be seen as boring, soulless, corporate-y, and dull Whereas, when you write naturally with all your flaws and imperfections, you're suddenly seen as relatable and human Interesting

One day, I was going somewhere with my dad on a motorcycle, and we got stuck in a traffic jam. I looked at the houses on the road and thought to myself how all of the things about these houses tell a story. I wrote about it here: preetigupta.me/blog/everyth...
