August 2024 Core Update: The one where key SEO folks got together and agreed "Let's see how this goes" would be the new SEO euphemism for "Yeah right, Google. Suuure."

@DarrenShaw_ @iPullRank @iamjohnoliver Let me. I’m British, he’ll listen to me.

If the #GoogleLeak docs were "accidentally" exposed to the public then I think it's fair to say that little accident has been successful at diverting attention from the growing criticism and public awareness of  Google's low quality (sometimes dangerous) AI Overviews. Just sayin'

@sitebulb No problem with the tool, still love it :-)
It was the website. Also checked with a few of the “is-it-down-or-is-it-just-me” online tools and they confirmed (that it wasn’t just me). Anyway, site’s back now, so all good.

.@sitebulb Morning folks. Site down?

[Phil Anderson @pandson]

The Verge [seething]: ‘Google’s “SEO Starter Guide” is nearly 9,000 words long with dozens of links to additional material.’

SEO Folks [sigh]: ‘@verge's “Latest Rant” is over 6,000 words long with dozens of (dubious) dofollow links to additional material.’

@Ammon_Johns @adiokingeth @searchliaison Sadly it’s still alive and kicking for non-English websites in Southeast Asia. I can demonstrate sites that have been sunk not by technical/content issues or Google updates, just a sudden avalanche of spammy links. It’s like a battleground in certain non-English markets here.

@Kevin_Indig I’m just happy to see there’s another SEO out there who’s listening to Redman while thinking about this stuff.

AI-generated QR codes using ControlNet are insane.

This is going to be increasingly common in ads in the near future.

These examples blew my mind (try scanning them):

@HimalayaH9 Are passengers still required to show a PCR test prior to flying with Himalaya Airlines?

The new @StashAway_SG logo looks like the top of the big “S” is pushing over the three growth bars as they slide away into the abyss. A refreshingly honest and self-aware redesign.

@theotheodorou Tough day at the office huh

[Alex Sexton @SlexAxton]

I feel like we didn’t focus enough on the fact that someone in the Trump campaign meant to schedule the “four seasons hotel” but definitely accidentally scheduled this “four seasons landscaping” store and they had to follow through with it. Veep was not this good.

@RichardBarrow A wrist worn device seems a bit elegant for the average tourist arrival. The smarter move would be a compulsory electronic tracker locked around the ankle of every tourist as they land. Better battery life and would go nicely with cargo shorts.
