@lilyraynyc I've been using @Pocket for many years. Yes I wish it were a bit less robotic, but I'm thankful for all the articles it reads to me while I'm able to get stuff done. Their support is excellent too.
Can someone explain to my why it’s so incredibly difficult to find the *address* of a business in Google Maps? (Written as text)
(Yes, I know the answer is ad revenue but like, come on)
I had to go to my browser and Google the hotel instead. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Aight y'all.
Let's get started with this Yandex thing.
First thing, I want to give props and a shout out to @benwills who was the first to tell me about the leak and did a lot of initial leg work to make sense of where things live. He's the real MVP.
You probably heard about Yandex, it’s the 4th biggest search engine by market share worldwide. Yesterday proprietary source code of Yandex was leaked.
The most interesting part for SEO community is: the list of all 1922 ranking factors used in the search algorithm

@Optimisey@lilyraynyc From a business perspective though, since the relationships are key, when a sales person moves on, and takes customers with them, it's not ideal for the company to have them as authors. Esp not just for SEO reasons. For now I'm going with no authors, just the company as an entity
My teammate @SavannaLGray found this during some keyword research and now all of us are dying of laughter.
If this is one of the new #SearchOn Google features... well... 🤣🤣
@lilyraynyc Being a local doesn't mean or guarantee that you know more about the best things to do in your city. For example, I know so many people who were born and live in NYC, yet they've never been to the Statue of Liberty or other major landmarks.
I just had a call with another SEO whose client removed 50% of their pages regarded as low quality.
Their thinking was that any page with less than 1000 words gets removed.
The result was a 60% organic traffic loss landing on a 404 page with a 98% bounce.
Please don't do this.
