@Jason @KareemRifai This is literally the opposite of what was campaigned on

The only concept you mastered is bending over for those that have leverage over you

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@gofishchris yes, internal link flow is key

but subfolder structure does impact crawling (especially for news sites)

Rich video result linking to a pirated copy of a movie still in theaters, hosted on a hacked EDU site, ranking for the movie name is 🤌

ebay seller listing 8x10 prints of genAI art as 'professional photos', mostly nudes

25k+ products, 150k+ sold @ ~$3.50 a pop

what a world

@rebekah_creates you can try https://t.co/YJeKyzwIjw (and change user-agent at bottom right)

or you can adjust your browser user-agent via network conditions: https://t.co/FXQ6GmWXtB

Have a broken favicon in SERPs?

Check the file format -- webp isn't compatible (yet), & some CDNs auto-convert images to webp

Also, per docs, make sure favicon dimensions are a multiple of 48x48 (96x96px, 144x144px, etc) [this didn't fix the issue though]

Voy a contar una curiosidad que nos acaba de pasar en un proyecto para que lo tengáis en cuenta:

Nos había desaparecido el favicon.

Así, de un día para otro deja de salir en los resultados de búsqueda y queda feo y poco confiable. Y es una gran marca.

Pues mira qué era 👇

@rebekah_creates any differences in the backlink profiles?

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@TalebKabbara @mihir23192 more sites are using CDNs, which trigger 429s when they detect non-safelisted crawler-like activity

solution is to ask ENG to safelist your IP/user-agent, or slow down your crawl rate

Judge Mehta's recent trial findings have given us an unprecedented view into the inner workings of modern search engines, particularly Google.

@BrandenHarvey @bethmorgan @BingWMC @facan hey hey, I did indeed get it approved (shout out to @facan for the assist as it was definitely stuck)

imo, didn't see any big changes in 'regular' organic traffic, but does seem to have increased the number of traffic spikes when a story 'hits' their surfaces

very hard to track

@madewithlove howdy! your htaccess tester is giving a 500 error: https://t.co/DRm9XdUOjo

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@facan when a site is rejected from PubHub, the message says to 'resolve the issues in the email', but no email is ever sent, and no notifications appear in BWT.

Anything else that I can do/check to understand the issue before resubmitting?

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@thinking_slow agreed, game changer

I just set this up a month ago with Smart Connections plugin (which can connect with several external LLM models)

Feel much more confident in the outputs when I'm responsible for the inputs

Going to check out copilot since it has llama.. is it multimodal?

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@tomzur already seeing referral traffic (and a paying conversion!) from https://t.co/Nqbjrv6u4C

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@dan_shure I've been doing this manually for a few months now but manually -- will have to check out this plugin cause I was about to build my own haha

its been a huuuuuge time saver for webinar recordings, which includes timestamp links to jump to specific sections I'm most interested in

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@JoelKlettke their browser extension works across any site too!

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

Anyone else seeing odd GA4 real-time spikes every 5 minutes?

Seeing this pattern across multiple different websites... related to UA going away?

[Oleg Korneitchouk @olegko]

@jeremarketer The amount of times I've been informed that [me/company] have been 'shortlisted' for a 'prestigious, internationally recognized magazine' industry list is absurd

I will say... the lists are good source of people who will gladly pay $1k-$3k for an ego boost 😉
