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?

Idk why I am asking a LinkedIn question on Bluesky (lol), but here goes: To the people who have LinkedIn Premium, has it helped you in any way? Getting leads, being able to message anyone, or something else. Have you been able to experience the value that it offers?

I just finished posting about a mini study about the SEO Tool pricing pages on Packted. I took four questions and compared all the tools based on these questions. Questions like how easy they are to find, pick a plan in 5 seconds, compare tiers, and what to copy or avoid.

I am officially one year older (24 to be exact). I have learned so much in the last year, made many beautiful memories, and experienced things I never did. I am beyond grateful to the universe for this life and I look forward to the next year. So I guess happy birthday to me ❤️

Nothing beats having a pre-birthday party ❤️✨

It's so fun to join Jo and Mike to talk through SEO questions and have some fun. Do join tomorrow at 9:30 am BST (2 pm IST for me). The best part? It is absolutely free to join. Looking forward to tomorrow ❤️✨

I went to check out the new tool Ahrefs made and I got this warning thing from Chrome. Interesting

I went to buy a pair of new glasses for myself, and holy moly, the frame selection blew my mind. I never knew how hard it can be to pick a good pair lol. Ended up buying two different glasses. I am looking forward to getting them soon

Here's a random thought: I am seeing how sometimes the entire brand of an agency/company's brand-building efforts are focused on one person (generally an employee - not the founder). So whenever you hear this person's name, you think about the company/agency.

I used to have a SaaS client whom I worked with to improve their brand awareness through Search. In a short time that we were together, we worked on creating a content cluster, did audit to find issues that are important to solve for the users, and learned the ways we can collaborate better.

I came across this issue where there were a lot of 404 links in the header navigation. The thing was, everything was alright when I saw it from the web version of the site. It was then that I checked it from the mobile version, and I came across the issue.

I am genuinely curious: Why do SEO newsletters these days look like a full-fledged article, and the actual articles look like someone created with an AI prompt? Like what's going on?

It's always the LinkedIn people who want the maximummmm engagement

Okay, I like the colors, but why did you take away the other models? whyyyyyy

To the people who always remove their glasses right before taking a selfie or photo, why? What are you guys thinking? Like, yeah, lemme just take my glasses off for a sec

I wanted to give feedback to one of my favorite apps for a feature, and I swear to god I searched for the feedback form/option everywhere and didn't find it. It can be frustrating when your users can't provide feedback.

I see longggg guides on how to respond to reviews on Google Business Profile, and I don't feel very good about it. I mean, I get it because I am an SEO at the end of the day. But as a Google Local Guide (I am level 6, btw), I feel like it can sound cringe.

Here’s my shower thought: If everyone has been talking about ‘SEO being dead’ for the longest time, doesn’t that mean SEO is not dead? Or am I going crazy lol?

From what I am seeing in the agent mode (in ChatGPT), it seems like accessing websites is a problem. So it goes to a website, tries to open it, and realizes it can't access it. It then tries to find a million ways to get around it, but simply can't.

Brands reduce their prices relative to countries all the time. Netflix does it, Spotify does it, a while ago, I saw Grammarly do it, and now X has reduced their pricing for India. I believe it is called purchasing power parity. Do you think it's a good thing/bad thing?

At the Google I/O Connect event in Bengaluru last week, everyone got the Build Your Own Chrome Dino model kit. Today I thought of making it. It was so fun putting this together and I loved that it also came with a little glue. Absolutely love the result ❤️

My fellow SEO agencies/consultants/freelancers: How often do you raise the rates for your services?

I may have mentioned I’m speaking at #brightonSEO My current slot is at 17:10 in Auditorium 1. AUDITORIUM 1 😱 I’m not going to lie, I’m totally bricking it right now. First brightonSEO as a speaker and it’s going from 0 to 100.

In today's episode of My Mind Blown Away, I came across an extensive guide on UA (Universal Analytics). The thing is, it was published very recently. I might be wrong here, but isn't UA unavailable right now? Like, why are we making guides on something that doesn't exist? Am I missing something?

Watching the Agent mode in ChatGPT do its thing is fascinating. I will definitely play with it more.

Imagine this: I am scrolling on Instagram -> I come across an ad -> I click through and scroll the website -> Later I get their message on WhatsApp. I never gave them my phone number. What in the privacy potion is this going on?

Just noticed that there is a "Think longer" option in the Tools in ChatGPT. Is this new, @rustybrick.com?

Airtel (an Indian telecommunications company) and Perplexity recently announced a collaboration where every Airtel user would get the Perplexity Pro subscription for a year. I tried Perplexity before for a bit, but I didn't find it too nice. But I am interested to see how it's different with Pro

Over time, I realized that doing draining work makes you not only feel drained, but it also makes you burned out, and even if you want to do something cool, you don't have the energy or will to do it. I could be wrong, though 🤷🏼‍♀️

The #GoogleIOConnect is officially happening! I'll keep adding to this thread ❤️

So I implemented a consent management system on my website a couple of weeks back, and I thought, why not write a post about it? So here it is: packted.com/consent-mana...

I just saw that 12ft.io is now offline, and the news/media alliance said that it will take action on similar sites in the future. So my question is, what about the fact that I can disable my JavaScript or change the user agent to see the paywalled content? Am I forgetting something here?

Don't you just love it when some news articles talk about something without mentioning the original article or original announcement

I searched for Bing Webmasters tools and I clicked the first result without thinking much, and it turned out it be the Report Copyright Infringement page. I was like wth is this. Then I went back and clicked on the right page. Now idk what the point of this post is lol

First ever guest post 💙 Thank you so much, @jojofurnival.bsky.social @patrickhathaway.bsky.social and @sitebulb.com team for this opportunity! 🥹 & thank you @myriam.dopamine.builders , Amy Lynch and Andy Mollison for your feedback and support!

Am I becoming a nerd? Cause my new tool to play with is GA4's debug mode

The sudden urge to drink a TON of water after you haven't had any for many hours is real. Stay hydrated y'all

It feels insanely good when you have helped someone and they succeed. It feels like I have won. I love my job so much ❤️

What in the keyword research/programmatic SEO is that? All these articles have the same heading structure, and they all look very similar

I shared a post on Reddit a while ago asking some questions. Today, this user messaged me, and it was so sus. They said that my issue is "very important and complex" and that they have used this platform that helped them with issues similar to mine.

Hear me out... decisions can be based on vibes and not on data all the time. And tbh the decisions I make based on vibes are much better than trying to work with data/logic. Me after I said this:

Do you understand what users are looking for in the moment? That's one of the things brilliant SEOs like @ilovechoclates.bsky.social are using AlsoAsked for; taking advantage of live intent data, with a feature that is updated as searches change! You can try it for free at alsoasked.com

This has to be the worst user experience ever ngl. The website owner shared that their website traffic had dropped. So I went in to see what's going on. Upon visiting the website's homepage, I was greeted with this: You gotta see the 5-10 second ad to go forward

I just got a small light I purchased for meetings on my laptop and possibly for creating videos, and I think it's the best decision ever. I have already found multiple use cases for it lol
