@cmwalker @jessethanley @pedrodias That was 6+ months after the drop

@jessethanley @pedrodias Yeah but that destroys the narrative. Let’s not get into facts.

It’s works, until it doesn’t

@JulienBek @sequoia Masse for SEO 👀

Turns out there were a lot more great founders building autopilots than I thought. At @sequoia we’re pulling together a map of the top ones. Who should we include?

@PaulADW Yup - Now we just need Uber Eats to replace CityXerpa

Andorra : Uber arrived 2 months ago and their business is thriving! My driver this morning has driven 20k km in like 1,5 month, just inside Andorra 🇦🇩. There really was a need not being met : not having to call, available 24/7, geolocated, multi language, recent cars.

Ever wish you could work with a $20K/month SEO agency? We're building something that gets you pretty damn close - from $200/month. SEO used to be pure gaming. Keyword stuffing, link networks, every trick in the book. One algo update and you'd go from champagne to ramen overnight. Nowadays you can't just hack your way to the top anymore. Here's the opportunity: Most SEO tools are built by people who've never done good SEO. They're automating a bad process. Shitty blog posts that you don't even look at, spam links, and not a clue what's working (if anything). Building this with @Nile - he runs a 7-figure SEO agency. We've both grown sites from thousands to millions of visits. Safe to say we know a thing or two. We're taking the $240K/year agency playbook - all the systems, processes, and special sauce - and building these into agent flows, powered by the best LLMs for the job (Claude, of course) I love a value-based offer that delivers real results. The kind where you can say "if it doesn't increase your traffic, get your money back." You get massive gains in search traffic, we get a small % of that value. Win-win. We're starting by using it internally. Then opening to closed beta. DMs open if you want to hear more.

It was just one outage. I think they're overreacting a bit.

Driven them all Cayenne with the right spec (rear axel, PDCC etc) drives like a 911, range rover is like driving a boat in comparison. With alcantara + full leather package, the interior will be nicer than range rover too (sport seats tho, not as comfortable). Coupe model is much better looking than the base. Cayenne Turbo (*Not* the GT) is the sweet-spot in the range, especially if buying pre-facelift E3 model. BMW is meh, interior falls short

Car people what’s the best pick? Defender / Range Rover Porsche Cayenne BMW X5 Any other SUV you’d add in?

Fantastic discussion @MarekEstok_SK, excited to find a way forward for our two glorious nations

@foley_seo Would you therefore expect to see those URLs gain traction *after* the core update, but be static during the rollout?

SEO Theory - changing URLS in close proximity to an update may mean a lack of time to establish page level signals used as part of that evaluation? I only speculate here because it seems to be a recurring pattern. I note - lots of sites audited which underwent URL changes in close proximity to any HCU update seemed to suffer where URLS that hadn't changed sailed through the updates even though topically they were aligned? We know for example changing a URL and redirecting passes on link equity, but is there a potential delay in attribution of signal data i.e. engagement, interaction etc? Would be an intersting discussion. #seo

@SilencioFidelio A work of art

@thisiskp_ Been a minute! Loving the AI launchpad btw, was chatting to a client about it a couple of weeks ago - Super clever

@Nile Dude!!! Long time :) Adding you to my recs

Asking for a founder: What’s your favorite SEO agency? Tag them here if possible Compiling a list to share with you all at the end

@alexchristou_ Can I log in with my agency account and add all my clients at once or does it need API keys manually added per project? 👀

Good news and bad news about ContentUAV 📡

@SilencioFidelio Can see my flat on the far right hwfg

It's always fun having one of our customers on our podcast. On episode 47, I had so much fun chatting with @Nile, founder and CEO of Masse SEO. I got to know Nile through one of our investors. In his work at Masse SEO, Nile and his team work primarily with scaling startups (think Series A, Series B). Like me, Nile got started in #SEO by building his own niche sites. Lately, there has been much talk about the death of niche sites. I asked Nile to tell me what he thinks about niche sites, helpful content, scaling content creation, and more. Listen to this week’s episode to hear more about: - Niche Sites — Are they dead? Not so much. Nile shares his experiences building niche sites and tells us a little bit about his success with a new website. - Creating Helpful Content at Scale — Nile's team has grown in size over the last year. These days, he is creating a lot of content. Nile shares more about his processes for scaling content creation while maintaining a high quality bar. Also, Nile explains how to and how not to use AI tools along the way. - SEO in Competitive Categories — Nile and I chat a bit about building SEO channels in competitive industries. I'm thrilled to announce that @daverathmanner is coming back on the Optimize podcast. If you remember, Dave was one of our earliest guests and, as far as I'm concerned, one of the best in SEO. I'm particularly excited about this episode because we unpack Dave's recent analysis of websites impacted (and not impacted) by Google's Helpful Content Update and March Core Update. This episode drops on 5/1!

@TheWebsiteFlip Interested but can’t DM you, can you send me one?

Link Building agency for sale I acquired a link building guest post agency a few months ago. Wife and I just had a baby girl. Turns out, managing another business won’t be possible. Bad planning on my part I am looking to exit the agency. It’s one of the older agencies. Has a self serve system in place built in WP. 3,000 or so customer list. A good asset but I have too many assets. If interested in acquiring, please DM.

You have to understand Europe defines itself as the "other" of America. Thats their identity. If America has freedom of speech, than Europe must put people in jail for insults. If America has gun rights, Europe must completely ban guns. If America creates technology, Europe must regulate it. If America is a society where it is easy to become poor (or rich), than in Europe it will be difficult for it to happen to you

@fba Thanks! Sadly think they’ll vote for it, especially with the current housing crisis, and the blatant political lying has already started. But maybe I’m just jaded from Brexit!

@Nile Happy anniversary! I think they'll vote against! Wdyt?

🇦🇩 Spent last week in Andorra. Crazy place. It was basically a buffer area to keep the moors out of France and in return to live there (harsh climate, not a lot of agricultural development, etc.), the inhabitants asked not to be taxed, and they were allowed that. Today the personal income tax is 🫶🏻 0—10%, and corporate tax on companies' profits is 🫶🏻5-10%. VAT is only 🫶🏻 4,5% — Not bad for Europe! Got to talk to a couple of friends living there (not tech ppl), and they seem to be doing great, have great quality of life, and very high disposable income (avg salaries are about 2-4K). Very indie in the way they handle things. In the smaller towns, the key to the tiny churches are held by families and the priest needs to ask for permission to open it. Also, they have some crazy developments there. The "steel peak" building in the photo is a massive "hot springs" space opened in the 90s I think and it's just pretty massive (not really nice as a visitor, is like a big mall "hot spring"). Also, say used luxury cars selling for peanuts, like a Porsche Cayman for 15K 😳 Anyway, great place to visit. Maybe will visit again soon. Couldn't ski myself because of my back lesson, hence wanting to go back soon. BTW, does anyone here has their operations there?

@fba Exactly 2 years as of today! I’m hoping to be here forever, depends how the next few years pan out with their EU association agreement

@Nile Nice! You've been living there for a long time?
