Howdy SEO Folks: Anyone ever seen a MASSIVE change in GSC stats on specific pages in the "most recent day" data? On Friday last week, we saw a *huge increase* in traffic across a subset of pages, by Sunday not only was it not reported, final figures appeared less than average.

Writing blog posts is NOT an SEO strategy. If you've been pitched this as your strategy, seek professional assistance.

Just paid the 'annual tax' on being an SEO (the Screaming Frog license), and realized my copy has been expired for SEVENTEEN MONTHS. Yes, nearly a year and a half!!!!!! Thats the longest Ive gone without it in about a decade, almost totally replaced by SiteBulb. Anyone else found similar?

The environmental impact of discarded battery cells is absolutely massive. Unless we're talking about rechargeable AA's, I strongly recommend using the flashlight that you recharge on USB-C.

I was thinking about this last night quite a bit: Its incredible how a change in situation can contribute to ones mental health and wellbeing. After two years not knowing where Id be living in six months, having stability has really helped me get back in a decent mindset.

Its not a shortcut, but the correct answer here is: 1) there has to be a high probability that every page google crawls, will be "crawled, indexed" not "crawled, not currently indexed". If your GSC report is heavy as a percentage on the latter you're toast. (continued below)

Hey
@johnmu.com
! Quick Q: could you give the community any indication on factors affecting the timeline of a 302 being treated as a 301? Client wants to point home at a non seo friendly page for a few months. I’m erring on the side of caution. (Roughly a million page visits per month per GSC)

For more than a decade Ive been saying at conferences: "Google will never lose their search monopoly, until consumers start finding information in a new format, at that point they lose their advantage. They will always own the 10 blue links" Turns out chat interactions, were that new format.
