SEO Book

To get rich, do work where you get paid in proportion to the number of customers you satisfy instead of the number of hours you work. Not all work of this kind will make you rich, but nearly all work that can make you rich is of this kind.

@carlhendy @seobook I think I still have a copy of the actual book pdf somewhere.

@danbarker @carlhendy @seobook That used to be Ayima's training "here, print this out and read it!" 😂

@elonmusk Not just because of it, but they said that it was one of the reasons: epicgames.com/site/en-US/new…

Apple just terminated Epic's developer account, and they admitted that this tweet was one of the reasons. We don't want to think about Apple being evil. It would be so inconvenient. We don't want to switch to Android. But I see ever more signs that power has corrupted them.

This Linkedin Post from a Senior Software Engineer at Google is illuminating. (Link: linkedin.com/posts/dhtheria… )

Huawei works with the Chinese state security services to steal technology from Western firms, and the government gives Huawei massive subsidies to underbid Western companies on 5G contracts that Huawei then uses to spy on people around the world for the Chinese government.

Now we can say precisely how much ahead of his time Brian Armstrong was: 3 years.

This isn't "personalization" - as public Google comments seem to want us to believe "If you search right now, you'll benefit from the billions of past user reactions we've recorded" 4/5 🧵

What user interactions does Google measure? • Attention (hover/mouse movement) • Clicks • Scrolls • Enters new query 2/5 🧵

It here! The DOJ finally released "Life of a Click" - explaining how Google used clicks for ranking 3 Pillars of Ranking: • On-page • Links+Anchors • User-interaction 1/5 🧵

Interesting timing. Google shared this yesterday about new features for ecommerce sites: "Stay tuned for new ways we're helping shoppers find your deals this holiday season..." Maybe this is it? Or maybe it's part of what's coming. Stay tuned.

@googlesearchc we are sooo back!

Today we released the November 2023 core update. We'll update our ranking release history page when the rollout is complete: status.search.google.com/products/rGHU1… Related to this, we’ve posted a Q&A on Google Search updates as a refresher about how updates work: developers.google.com/search/blog/20…

@seosmarty @searchliaison some of the blogspot URLs require login to view, but on the warning pages (which are sometimes sitewide warnings & can be based on an error) they still throw up full page interstitial popover ads

Ok, a serious and very naive question: Can Google ads actually be a negative factor in Google evaluating your UX? Google Ads do everything that Google Search guidelines currently advise against... cc @searchliaison

RT @bhartzer: This carousel looks new. Is it new, @rustybrick ? It appears to be an "about us" type of carousel.

@searchmartin "he who does not work for free for rude stragers has no value in his life" poorverbs 3:15

Dude has a clearly spam site. Gets pissed when I won’t spend hours evaluating all the things wrong with it for free. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@lyndoman @Jason #NeverForget #Mahalo #Brand

Remember when @Jason maligned the SEO industry and expertly got the industry to talk about him for days and if I am right some free consulting if some guy called Neil Patel #piratealligatorconvicts

@RemcoTensen @rustybrick @debramastaler @dannysullivan The founder of Steam & Valve had a quote years ago about how the tech monopoly platform companies try to increase the chunk size of competition to extract more value out of proprietary ecosystems. That was before trash like Google AMP.

This started out fine until it started bashing @dannysullivan The entire SEO industry owes Danny a debt of gratitude, he pushed for SES & started SMX, both gave hundreds of people a stage. 1/2 theverge.com/features/23931…
