Apprentice Bard = "poet who is still learning".

Not exactly confidence-inspiring but should be an interesting week.

@Credlenation Do I look like a guy who has a plan?

[Ryan Purtill @RyanPurtill2]

Unexpected update dropped on me yesterday. Going to take a lot of time to see major themes but I think there’s something around crawl budget.

@azarchick Zuckerberg's favorite recess game.

I feel like this a "spite" algorithm for all the SEOs saying they didn't see HCU do much. Thanks a lot.

@areej_abuali Same! I shared that with someone once and they said "So when something really bad does happen, you have to live it twice. Once in your imagination and then in real life" and it stuck with me and helped me do it less.

@lilyraynyc Thanks, Lily. If the update is purely at the domain level (like they are saying), might not be too interesting but we’ll see what happens.

[Ryan Purtill @RyanPurtill2]

Excited that we track "helpfulness" at the url level at wikiHow. Will be interesting to see how direct user feedback aligns with ranking changes this week.

Tweeted this in 2018 about Google becoming more of a in-serp publisher and how can that model work longterm.

Wonder if today's news is domino number 1.... https://t.co/WkqQTXERxE

So then daddy said, "Well it depends..." and everyone got very annoyed.

@danihenrique91 @JohnMu @preets010 Looks like we are basically back on track.

[Ryan Purtill @RyanPurtill2]

@lilyraynyc Oh vodka. Cool.

[Ryan Purtill @RyanPurtill2]

@danihenrique91 @JohnMu @preets010 I think so but seems to be better in last few hours, maybe fixed?

Anyone seeing weird Amp traffic drops this week (mainly Chrome)?

Or are you all already off of AMP? :)
