@_RobToews What baffles me is why there wasn't more "out there" thinking like @ilyasut in the first place.

Lux Capital@Lux_Capital
We started Lux in 2000 with a simple conviction: the biggest opportunities lie at the frontier of science and technology that others find too hard, too early, or too confusing. Twenty-five years later, that conviction hasn't changed. What has changed is that the world has caught on. Now compute, automation, and biology have matured into scalable engineering disciplines, and what was once fringe "deep tech" has become essential infrastructure. New talent, new tools, and new industrial capacity now exist to turn the most cutting-edge technology across the physical, computational, and life sciences into enduring businesses. For these businesses and founders to become category-defining winners, they need meaningful capital and conviction. That is why we are especially excited to announce our largest fund to date, Lux Ventures IX, a $1.5B commitment to investing in the people turning sci-fi into sci-fact. Today entire sectors of aerospace, biotech, defense, industrials, transportation and beyond are being reinvented by a new generation of brilliantly ambitious, often irreverent, scientists and engineers. And while markets have changed and capital reshapes around fewer companies and larger checks, our focus on the craft remains constant. That focus matters because science doesn’t scale itself. The path from a result in the lab, only known to a few, to something durable the entire world will use requires a different kind of partnership. One that deploys the first $100K and the last $100M, that stays through the full arc of company-building, that mobilizes a powerful network of kinetic like-minded founders, and that treats capital as a tool rather than the product. Forty-four people at Lux now manage $7B, still operating with the same discipline and purpose we had on day one. We find and fund founders others have overlooked, back conviction over consensus, and build alongside these rebels of science and tech at every stage. We’re grateful to our valued LPs who've partnered with us through multiple cycles, and to the founders who trust us with their life's work. The mission continues, with even greater intensity and momentum. luxcapital.com/news/announcin…

@MattLacuesta No notification. Logged into the GMB dashboard and it says to review updates. Pending or not they remove the listing completely. No sign of who made the changes although I'm sure it's not coming from their main account.

@chriswalker That sucks. Did you get a notification about it? Can you see who submitted the change?

So now people are apparently editing dates of when businesses first opened in GMB, as in the original opening date of the business. Someone just edited mine to 2020 so my listing completely disappeared. Came right back after I updated it. @MattLacuesta

💡SEO Tip: Use the new Chrome Extension, #VisBug, for web designers, to quickly see your on-page styling H1s, H2s, H3s etc
I used it while chasing after a featured snippet to see how my competitor had styled their page over mine.

Hey, who wants to read a story about @Upwork fucking over freelancers in order to upsell their clients on unnecessary services the clients don't want and can't afford? Strap in!

@CyrusShepard Why share? Knowing is a HUGE competitive advantage. Humble brag, I had it figured out within 24 hours. At that very moment the algo was extremely sensitive to updates and changes were easy to test. HINT: This is exactly why they tell you not to focus on the algo.

Reminder: 60+ days since Google's Medic/E-A-T Update and we haven't seen any conclusive evidence from any SEO on how impacted sites can recover traffic/rankings.
We do know that adding author bylines doesn't fix it.

Halloween: Think I'll peek at draxe.com traffic and see if they've recovered yet from the Google Medic/E-A-T Update and HOLY HELL THIS IS SCARY (boo!)

@glenngabe @Jeelanisheik @RealTaylorKurtz @semrush @rustybrick @Marie_Haynes @sejournal Absolutely nothing to do with EAT. That is all.
English
@Jeelanisheik @RealTaylorKurtz @semrush @rustybrick @Marie_Haynes @sejournal I mentioned this in my post about the 9/27 update. Any tinkering to "trusted links" could cause significant impact across the web. And I believe that's the most scalable way for Google to fine-tune trust. glennga.be/2CO275I

@Suzzicks De-emphasized? Not in the least. Treated differently based on X number of variables/factors, yes.
