bro they still have "© 2025 AI SEO Tracker." in the footer ...

[ILIAS ISM @illyism]

seeing the same thing in https://t.co/9NQ49WDfHW, it is basically almost 80%+ listicles

Absolute banger

[Ravi @10xravi]

The calm, less-FOMO way to read all this:

AI search doesn’t reward optimization, it rewards being known. Stop hacking the algorithm, start earning the mention. The brands that win the next decade aren’t the ones with the best schema. They’re the ones people already talk about when the marketer isn’t in the room. Build something worth mentioning. The citations follow. AEO, GEO, SEO, AI Search, AI Preview, AI infinity all will follow the same game. Fundamentals please!!

@hustle_fred thats crazy!

[halfmage @halfmage]

so true!

but it is hard to get any traction in X these day. got most of my followers around 2013-2016 because I posted #pixelart but it was just to show off, these days I try to do interesting things and just talk about it :)

[@levelsio @levelsio]

So telling your story on X (and other social media) is essentially free user acquisition

But you pay with your personal brand (and time)

The other options are SEO or paid ads

SEO to rank on Google (but with AI that's getting harder, less traffic)

Paid ads you need money!

@levelsio why did you decided to add comparison pages on @photoai ?

I heard from a view friends that (mostly german) companies are sending their lawyers if you compare them with your product.

Just curious :-)

airbnb homepage but for moon homes

@boardyai more or less automated icon searches with no results to update icon keywords or to be flagged for next release. now I don't need to ask what people what, I can just add it!

thanks to events setup with @SimpleAnalytic I can now see what visitors search for and copy or download!

this will help me to see what people can not find for the next releases and which icons are most popular!

try it yourself and tell me your answer:

Based on your personal experience when talking to me, give me a character from a movie/show who is just like me, just give me their name.

iTerm2 is the goat, agree?

[halfmage @halfmage]

I can now track searches on https://t.co/PqjxWHmOZL in @SimpleAnalytic with no results and check for keyword or icon file gaps: update it or put the new icon in the roadmap.

will automate this soon with claude so every day we enrich keywords or I make new icons for release!!!

[halfmage @halfmage]
