I created Topicfinder to help webmasters and content creators find blog topics that ACTUALLY have strong traffic, reasonable competition, and that you can realistically rank for. A game-changer for bloggers, agencies, and SEO pros:

20 years watching the content industry. The biggest predictor of who survives each algorithm shift isn't writing quality. It's topical narrowness. Sites that try to rank for everything die. Sites that dominate one entity graph keep winning, even as the rules change.

@sewatch Your site is down! None of your posts are loading, critical WordPress error

[James Parsons @parsonsdotme]

Greenflare is awesome. It's basically 'Screaming Frog' but it's open source. Available for MacOS and Windows. Nice one, Ben Görler! Check it out at https://t.co/vPHYMkj8Zi

WordPress code snippet I put together for a client to auto-remove low value keywords from WordPress permalinks when creating new posts. I guess I've been on a roll lately with WordPress code. https://t.co/0wuaDdcxhr There used to be a plugin called "Smart Slug" that did this.

Do you use WP Rocket and Cloudflare together? Here's some code to add a handy "Flush Cloudflare Cache" button to your WordPress admin menu https://t.co/NncyHLGaYA

@rt7683 @sethvargo Sorry just saw this! Twitter (or "X"?) Ads doesn't have a rhyme or a reason of how/when they show ads. If you were viewing a conspiracy theorist, and you match my target audience settings for marketing-related topics, my ad will show to you, regardless of what you are watching.

Handy MacOS dock icon replacement script by @SethVargo - https://t.co/FdNYqN6nZC Remember to grant "Full Disk Access" to Terminal or this wont work on the new MacOS versions like MacOS Ventura.

Handling WordPress comments for our clients, we noticed a silent change: WordPress now locks Gravatars to original comment authors, preventing photo updates. 🤔 #WPUpdate #GravatarIssues I wrote a post about this and how to fix it: https://t.co/yIjJ4Ps8Fn

Trick I learned to get nested comments on Shopify blogs: re-arrange the order of every 2 comments. With a little CSS (and assuming you reply to every comment you approve) you now have nested comments! https://t.co/LLPRW2Lx7N its a shame the @Shopify blog platform is so neglected.

@elonmusk Who is working in the @AdsSupport department? Average response time has been a few days. Our ads stopped working and we have nobody to talk to. I’d imagine bigger advertisers than I are having problems too. The support system is terrible, and on Twitter’s Ads no less.

@princeruminyc Thank you! Phone number is only required for the free trials, it’s the only way we can prevent abuse and keep prices low for everyone

[James Parsons @parsonsdotme]

@welfaretaco I’m not aware of many. Definitely not a few thousand. If you’re open to sharing I’m genuinely curious - competitive research and all. Thanks for your comment.

Fantastic guide by Daryl Rosser on Shopify technical SEO! https://t.co/ICFHKFFBJA Shopify is such a mess and his liquid code is super useful for all of the link spam on Shopify.

If only customers didn't have to worry about this and Shopify didn't fire their SEO team...
