@rustybrick Well, SEOs… did you notice that both Googlebot and Bingbot are explicitly allowed on X’s t.co shortener ? Time to do some "proper" link building replying SEO tweets. 😉

I miss the engagement from the SEO community on here...

@rustybrick Great pick ! SEO was easier when Microsoft Clippy asked: “It looks like you’re trying to rank a webpage. Need help?” 📎
Now we have dozens of AI assistants, dozens of GEO frameworks, and hundreds of LinkedIn experts explaining SEO, GEO, AEO, *EO "optimization" 🤪
English
Too many choices for AI assistants - I am just going to go back to where it all began - Microsoft Clippy

@lilyraynyc Typical issue from over-relying on LLMs. They’re smart, but they’re just snapshots of the past. SEOs, GEOs Want to control LLMs? Push fresh content and remove outdated pages fast ideally with IndexNow. Take back control of your content game with real-time indexing!

Yeah the new cheaper models are frankly shit

ChatGPT thinks Justin Trudeau is still the PM of Canada @sama It's been over a year since Mark Carney became the new prime minister of Canada.

Bing hitting 1 billion monthly active users is HUGE. More growth in 5 years than the prior 10. #SEOs pay close attention. The search landscape is shifting fast. Time to optimize for Bing Search and Bing Grounding API alongside Google. Congrats to the entire Bing team and partners driving this momentum! Excited for what’s next for our customers. 🚀

Bing just reached a major milestone: 1 billion monthly active users, as @satyanadella shared on today’s earnings call. We’ve added more users in the last 5 years than in the previous 10. I’m so grateful for everyone in Bing and our partners across Microsoft and beyond who have contributed over the years to this achievement, driving advances in fundamentals, differentiation, and growth with passion and tenacity. Few products reach the 1 billion user mark, and few technologies in history have been as transformative as web search. I am excited for our team to continue to drive innovation and competition in this critical area for society.

@MuskieMcKay @lilyraynyc Use noindex to hide your legacy page from Google Search & AI crawlers, but keep it fully visible to human visitors? use data-nosnippet, to hide only specific parts of a page (legacy content part) while keeping the rest indexable: . gsqi.com/marketing-blog…
English
@facan @lilyraynyc What if I don’t want to delete my “legacy content”?

@rustybrick @aleyda @bing @kmadhavan77 Good question! Many advertisers are loving the new AI performance tool because it gives them access to valuable AI data. So we used this Ads blog post to highlight this incremental feature, and as I said, there’s a lot more coming. Stay tuned. We will speak about that in our blog

@_sumitdh @mikeschechter It's fixed... thanks Sumit for reporting that.

Big release from the Bing Webmaster Tools team today - you can now see how often your content is cited in AI generated answers across Bing and select partner products.

@searchmartin @ComRicheyweb Well, as alien presence on Earth is about to be officially disclosed any day now… I think need to politely ask our new cosmic neighbors to start tagging their posts properly with AGC - Alien Generated Content 👽🛸 😉

@ComRicheyweb here, this is the google specification developers.google.com/search/docs/cr…
BING as well, but I have no idea if they use the stuff like "ugc" etc. (cc @facan ?)

Repeat after me:
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DO FOLLOW LINK"

@lilyraynyc SEO tip: SEO traffic down ? Don’t look at Google alone.
Check Bing Webmaster Tools and Google Search Console. If both decline near the same days, it’s probably a technical SEO issue or competitors gaining ground, not just Google adjusting their rankers or demoting the website.
English
I should mention they're not "winning in AI search" either (as the case study claims)
English
I have now read *multiple* public AEO/GEO "case studies" where the organic traffic literally looks like this.
I'm not even kidding. I just pulled this chart from a case study published 2 weeks ago.
Looks to me like they actually destroyed their website.
English
@lilyraynyc 💯 Lily. How will you know when .md transform is half-broken on a page? Who will fix? In the AI era we understand webpages perfectly, no need for sub-standard. Think: we rank based on what customers see. As crawlable ajax, anything not real or not well managed by SEOs will die!
English
Just thinking out loud…
What happens when the AI companies (inevitably) encounter spam and attempts at SEO/GEO manipulation in the markdown files targeted to bots?
What happens when the .md files no longer provide an equivalent experience to what users are seeing?
What happens if they continue crawling those pages but actually toss them out before using the content to form a response?
…And we keep conflating “bot crawling activity” with “the bots are using/liking my markdown content?”
How will we know if they’re actually using the .md files or not?
