@nickwilsdon We moved in dec and dealing with the buyers solicitor was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life, we were literally at the last possible moment when it finally went through

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@DeanCruddace @sdbrownlie I've heard positive things about the engagement on blue-sky so going to give that a look this week

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@DeanCruddace Got a few, any particular ideas you were after?

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@pedrodias Probably so fast we get another sloppy product that only works sometimes

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@lilyraynyc I am seeing some absolutely insane growth in impressions and clicks for some of our clients - trying to piece together the info see if there is any trend at the moment

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@DeanCruddace How many drinks would I have to buy you to try out our tool & are you at Brighton this Oct?

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@lilyraynyc @botify @sitebulb @ahrefs @screamingfrog @sistrix @lumarhq @Oncrawl @semrush We used to have it but no one used it really

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@pedrodias It's kind of anecdotal but I have long held a belief that SPA's suffer from poor internal link equity, I don't know that this is to do with JS per se or that it's much harder to keep track of your internal links if they are all generated - this seems to play out in the real world

Is Anyone else seeing a bunch of weird Rich Results today? not sure if it's just the ones I have searched or if something has gone a bit awry in planet google

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@lilyraynyc @ahrefs This seems to lean further into the idea that people are changing their terms to get information from social media - for example adding reddit to a query to get responses from there

@RyanJones In a way it hasn't changed, the fundamentals still apply and broadly websites don't apply them well enough. I think it's down to how complex websites are, you can't see everything well enough to get your top priorities, but that's just a theory

We have two roles out at the moment for Torque - an SEO program manager and entry-level SEO position. Both remote roles. You can see more below at the fantastic https://t.co/idwtgy7bKz site run by @aleyda (which I highly recommend for all your job postings).

YIKES I'm seeing a surge in Google linking to wrong social profiles in panels.

In the screenshots below the socials that I highlighted (blue pointer) are not their real accounts and it seems like these are managed by someone else.

Around 4 weeks ago these social links were not there, not sure why Google started to show these and it's not able to pick up the signal that it's not their real accounts.

PS - It's happening at scale I just explored many names and found links to wrong social profiles.

Some examples here 👇

@darth_na @RemcoTensen @seo_theory @gfiorelli1 @pedrodias I actually think it's a touch worse that what Pedro stated, there are strong conclusions being drawn from that information without context.

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@pedrodias I am having a read and whilst I think it's extremely important for the SEO industry I am not sure I agree with many of the conclusions and data interpretations. I worry where this leads

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@lilyraynyc There is an assumption that LLM's will improve over time but actually I think we are likely heading towards it getting a lot worse before it gets better - LLM's are already ingesting generated content and getting weirder it's like a misinformation campaign but super sped up

[Richard🦜 @Rick_BarK]

@searchliaison @Katie16282772 @dannysullivan This is a huge amount of detail! love it. With regards algo spam is there any way you could chop them up a bit in terms of reporting and maybe feedback useful things like "you have too many ads, you have very little unique content" give yourself wiggle room for real spammers?

@Pilestedt how would you feel about making the ballistic shield work as a sledge on snowy/dusty planets - feels key for speedy democracy
