@lilyraynyc @perplexity_ai The "hungriest" crawler out there, providing this kind of responses 🙃

This is so bad - I asked @perplexity_ai about recent SEO/AI news and it responded with a information about a non-existent, made-up algorithm update Perplexity cited two AI-generated articles on digital marketing agency domains that made up information about an algorithm update that never happened, and used a fancy SEO terminology to make it sound official, or something. The snake is eating its own tail.

@ian_tech_seo @YuriyYarovoy Done!

@Stevenvvessum @YuriyYarovoy and ty!

@YuriyYarovoy i filled out the BigSEO Slack form like a decade ago and never got any love. :(

@ian_tech_seo @YuriyYarovoy DM your email so I don't mess it up :)

@YuriyYarovoy @Stevenvvessum oh ty! plssss @Stevenvvessum my email is my full name at gmail dot com

Google has already *quietly* become a merchant marketplace in the US for product related queries with two Search Features: 1) Filter By Sidebar 2) Product Carousels + Knowledge Panel This is why your PLPs/Categories/Facets pages have likely not grown (or even lost) non-branded organic search traffic. This becomes more obvious when comparing the SERPs for the same queries in the US vs other countries. For example, when comparing the SERPs for "wireless bluetooth headphones" or "backpacks for running" in the US vs Australia. In the US the user is "incentivized" to visit PDPs directly due to the filters/features. Make no mistake: these filters/features will be eventually released worldwide. It's time to get ready by doubling down on your PDPs!

@aleyda @Wix SEOFOMO!

Finally! So good to be back. Good night NYC ❤️ see you all tomorrow at the #seofomo + @Wix studio meetup 💪

@dergal "Better to hold on to this. May need it one day!"

Maybe it's time to throw this out ....

@Adoubleagent @antoineripret Ah, I understand what you mean now. Yeah that could be the case!

@Stevenvvessum @antoineripret “Discovered - currently not indexed” might be URLs it first adds to the crawl queue. A separate “state” on the process. But then URLs it crawls but drops out of the queue the reporting doesn’t know what to do with it.

Fun fact. Google can move a URL from: 🦀 Crawled - currently not indexed to 🤷 URL is unknown Google. (Screenshot is from the URL report showing indexing history of a single page in the tool that is under contruction).

@Adoubleagent @antoineripret I would expect those to be bucketed under "Discovered – currently not indexed" though.

@antoineripret YES! I was thinking it might be a scenario they haven’t thought of or accounted for. If I see more of these scenarios I might override the GSC status in the future. Help SEOs out.

@cemper Like deleting the Robinhood app and boom all the money you owned them....doesn't need to be owed anymore! Right? Right guys? /s obvs. 😂

I hear people want to get rid of Google penalties... ...by "deleting Google Seach Console"? How efficient.

@asparajuice Hey Em, thanks for sharing! Any chance you have the link to the US one somewhere?

The US Google Trends daily newsletter is a gold mine for search trend-based campaign inspiration. And they're launching a UK edition! Unfortunately it's only weekly but this is still mega! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@Jamie_IF Only just saw this now and subbed Jamie. Is there an email archive subscribers can dive into? 😇

Just sent. Not being posted to public feed, so if you didn't subscribe then GG forever, the knowledge doth hath been lost into the ether

@njsdanrich @sejournal But, maybe you're interested in a BrightonSEO Training 😂

Just look at the state of this @sejournal page - how the hell can I read that? Crazy. #reducetheadsguys
