@lilyraynyc @glenngabe Ah, so using other people's content to train LLMs ain't OK. Thank God Reddit is the only site whose content is used for this; it'd be a shame if there were millions of publishers whose work is used by Microsoft, and thank God it's only Microsoft that does this!

@dan_shure @OpenAI I'd bet it's Bing, too, would be most convenient. Would you mind trying some non-English queries to see if it takes English pages and translates or if it searches the web in the language you're using? (Don't have access yet, but maybe I could prompt you in the meantime?

@keithgoode Makes sense! Though I would love a bit of a schadenfreude angle :)

@semrush @SplitSignalhq Link goes to https://t.co/Ef5cvlE1B0 Is this intentional?

@rlmcelreath This should be in textbooks

@sTeamTraen No (Polish)

@DaveElliottSEO @ryansiddle Nice! How did you discriminate between menu links vs other links?

They literally did (19 seconds in)

@sTeamTraen True for Poland, though rather informal / ever so slightly dated; providers keen on using energia instead of elektryczność

@_JHoff Fitler instead of filter - most common reason why my R scripts don't work :)

@ed_hagen @thomas_neitmann Or use the conflicted package to set defaults

@Kevin_Indig Ah, does look confusing. We made a +50% net gain YoY despite covid.

[Parasite Leech @parasiteleech]

@Kevin_Indig Not just optimizing but rather creating them semi automically and at scale; turns out I'm in a fairly image heavy niche; made sure our images are lazy loaded in a Google friendly way (don't trust some of the older recommendations from Google itself) image sitemaps, image schema +

[Parasite Leech @parasiteleech]

@Kevin_Indig And a few other things; end result - 50% more traffic in q3 and q4 YoY despite covid (-20% YoY last time I checked for web traffic despite higher visibility and rankings)

@caseyfulgenzi @uxblake Hi fellow random person on Twitter! Just reporting I watched the whole thing after reading this tweet and enjoyed the show, so thank you!

[Parasite Leech @parasiteleech]

@MordyOberstein @brodieseo @RangerShay @dr_pete Plenty gone altogether in my niche. Also, image packs seem to have risen in numbers; in some cases featured snippet gone and image pack shows up
