Roll call: Are my SEO peeps here on bluesky?

I just discovered that @danaditomaso.com has a GREAT youtube channel packed with Analytics goodies (was just sent a GA4 video and my response on opening it was: (here's the channel btw: www.youtube.com/@kp_playbook)

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.

@johnmu.com Just sent you a DM about incorrect reporting in GSC...... thanks!

Crappy Diem: What happens when you seize the wrong day.

Hope everyone has a good week. Focus on what you can change. Don't get distracted by what you cant, as much as is possible. Trust me, I know thats hard.

SEO updates you ✨NEED✨ to know [24 March]: www.linkedin.com/posts/markse...

Anyone else notices that the lingscars.com got a makeover? Why did they finally succumb to 'good sense' when the previous iterations held such appeal? I'm sad 😔

“Are you busy tomorrow?” That entirely depends on the rest of the information you’re about to give me.

TSLA just hit the red on the six month view:

Are there any "unified inbox" social apps? Where I can get BSK, linkedin, facebook, twitter (yuck) all in the same place?

Just updated my BSK handle to a unique domain - anyone know if this updates lists etc. that I may appear on? Decided to fully engage in non-fascist platforms....!

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

Never blame others for the road you're on. It's your own asphalt.

SEOs who are into F1: just TWO MORE DAYS to signup to this years fantasy league!!! Just DM me for the private link!!

You may also need to be tough skinned! 😜

The content quality bell curve is now entirely skewed thanks to generative AI.

Elons having a bad day. Tesla stock down 12%, TODAY. Twitter been offline, MOST OF THE DAY

So eggs are up. Gas is up. Hiring is down 50%, the jobs report is down massively, inflation is up, GDP is down… But please let me know, are those dogs and cats in Ohio safe from Haitians yet????

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.

my shitty spam ideas from a decade ago are suddenly en vogue

Build recurring revenue SaaS products. Great money in it. Thanks Stripe 👍😂

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)

I find it interesting that Elon's Starlink doesnt play nicely with Apple's privacy VPN feature (yes, thats my network name. Apt given the circumstance)

New house, new year, new me. Been a bit quiet for the last couple of months, sorry (or you're welcome, either way). Anyway, prepare for lots of inane drivel again, fully moved into my new pad on the west coast of Barbados 🇧🇧, and getting fully back in the swing of things:

Job security in SEO, is a clients remote product team releasing an MVP of the new site, that doesn't even render content, nevermind being optimized for search. Sheesh.

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)

2024 is the first year since 2009 where Ive not talked at an SEO conference! What should I be pitching for 2025?

2024 was the first year since 2009, where I've not talked at an SEO conference!!! What / where should I pitch for 2025?

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.

What are the best SEO tools to use in 2025? Ive no idea, so lets crowdsource some suggestions! If you take 2 minutes to fill in the survey below, you will receive all the data when we close the poll! webmarketingschool.com/best-seo-too...
