Freshness twiddler is my #1 favorite SEO thing. Naming things is hard but they absolutely hit bullseye on that one.
Bad news ya’ll, @JohnMu was right the whole time, we WERE supposed to build websites that are best for our users
Hey wake up, the latest @iPullRank dropped and it slaps ipullrank.com/google-algo-le…
Optimize for page relevance first, user satisfaction second, freshness third, and schema markup fourth to maximize rankings.
Terms like "base documents" and "golden" reinforces that certain sites are selected as a baseline. Backlinks will likely always be valuable from sources like trusted news sites or wikipedia.
If Chrome generates a signal for it, there's clear evidence it can be used for ranking. Views, Lighthouse scores, font size etc.
Imagine your a publisher with many sites. Chrome can see shared 3rd party cookies and connect website sets together.
Going to drop thoughts here as they come to me. First, I think the acronym NSR is Name Server Rank. It could explain why sites tend to slip when they change DNS config. Google does own 8.8.8.8

Since nobody else is going to say it, I’ll bite.
As a woman in tech, I don’t want to be working in a professional working environment where T-shirts like this are allowed. There’s no women in this room at all.
Spaces where women are welcome are being reduced so much, it’s hard to accept. #womenintech
Misogyny is often blunt and thoughtless as well as directly offensive. It shows up when people don’t take women as seriously as men. So we are reduced to our bodies and sexual utility, again and again.

Any competitive analysis worth its salt is just a Frankenstein of 18 data sources stitched together in one barely functioning spreadsheet of pivot tables and vlookups.
Hey @JohnMu or @rustybrick! I'm seeing mostly sites without DiscussionForumPosting markup appearing in the forums SERP feature. Reddit, Quora, sites built on Discourse etc. Do either of you know if these were scraped to seed the feature?
I remember someone tested generic location schema and seeing some results from it but I can't find the post... maybe @henshaw?
Great blog post about why anchor text matters. It’s important what you say about your website but also what others have to say about you.
New blog post, about improving results using anchor tags and link texts: marginalia.nu/log/93_atags/

Flash gets a lot of shit, but man did it ever make animation accessible. There's like an entire generation that grew up into designers, animators and graphics artists that started out dicking around in a pirated copy of Flash as teenagers.
Today in 1990s web development... Macromedia Flash 4.0! 🤓✨
After consulting the included docs, I learned that "shape tweening" was how you got that iconic morphing effect.
I made this spicy 10fps animation to show off my new skills, and then loaded it into a web page using the EMBED element! 😅
Of course, I also had to install the Flash plugin for Netscape. Unlike Java, Flash didn't come preinstalled with the browser.
