Interesting to see the SEO industry’s response to seeing authors mentioned in the Google leaks.
I wasn’t surprised. Here’s an article I wrote in collaboration with the late great @bill_slawski on this topic as it relates to Google patents, 4 years ago:

I remember when @bill_slawski first taught me about “information gain” when I was preparing for a presentation.
It was on a call we had in 2020. I will never forget him and how generous he was.
Here’s his article about it:

I just had a major "I wish I could ask Bill Slawski" moment, which then led to... wait, has anyone built a GPT for Bill Slawski?
And if not, could someone do this because it would be one of the most valuable tools in the SEO space. 😅
(RIP @bill_slawski, we miss you so much!)
Great example for site owners and SEOs to check out. A site created fairly recently, with 4 pages indexed, just containing memes of Barry, with just a handful of inbound links, ranks for the featured snippet for one of the top people in our niche.
Today marks the 19th year anniversary of writing about the search industry and search marketing - a lot of Google topics of course - it has been a lot of writing https://t.co/BVVN25ApAa

Hey @SiteGround - https://t.co/vU4wc7apsy is down, and appears nameservers point to you.
@bill_slawski recently passed away, and there is significant value in his blog to the SEO community.
Is there a way we can keep the website going?
Yep, what they said. :) 6 days into the rollout and still VERY quiet. I have no idea what's going on with the Helpful Content Update, but so far it's not even close to what I thought it would be. There's still time, so things could change, but underwhelming so far.
Meta's WhatsApp starts in-app shopping through India’s JioMart (Meta invested $6B into JioMart in 2020)
"This in-app WhatsApp shopping push will be the first time users will be able to browse and purchase products without leaving the app." https://t.co/IFP0cDVm4p
Found the first site that I believe was negatively impacted by the Helpful Content Update (it wasn't easy 😛)
Not gonna name the site, but it's an affiliate site and looking through some of the content... yeah.
