I havent been this excited about a new #SEO tool since I first saw Web Position Gold... Okay, that's probably not fair - @screamingfrog meets the grade, and I've used some pretty cool stuff, but this one is an incredibly useful time saver. searchcommander.com/blog/sea…
Was that the voice of Johnny Carson on the University of Nebraska commercial during @fox12oregon during the @oregonfootball @HuskerFootball game?
How many @dallascowboys memes can you make? chatgpt.com/share/6ac85f17-9…
This is NOT good enough. I had to look hard for a confirmation that my request for desperate help went through. Why make your visitors go through that?
Riding in the back of a @Tesla this screen reminds me of getting killed by poison gas in an old video game.
Literally my first time buying tix with @Ticketmaster. Total fail. Tried the app too. No tix, no order history. I got a welcome a verification email but no receipt. Glad I got a screenshot.
After dealing with two hacked web servers this past week, I went to @GoogleTrends and saw interest in "wordpress hacked" is up 750% over last year and 5000% over last month!

🚨 DESMAN STEPHENS II JUST SENT A MESSAGE 😳
After delivering a HUGE hit on Oregon QB Dante Moore, Desman Stephens II wasn’t done. He got up laughing, turned toward the Oregon sideline, and appeared to mock the Ducks before dapping up his teammates.
#DesmanStephensII #Oregon
I grew up a Trojans fan and living in Oregon I'm a Beavers fan and an avowed Duck hater, but that shot was a literal crime. Suspend Stevens from school. He was laughing afterward...
I googled for "USC v Ducks game" and saw that it hadn't started yet, and I put my phone down. A couple of minutes later a Walmart commercial suddenly started playing with @YouTube all by itself.
This is not an animated gif or a looping video - Trying to change my clients five locations at @GoogleMyBiz back to winter hours closing at 5. It's not new @rustybrick since it didn't work in June either, when I had to change to summer hours and I tried on both @googlechrome and @MicrosoftEdge. Yeah the @googlemaps app does work, but shouldn't be necessary. Test it yourselves! #LocalSEO
In case you were wondering,
on this survey of 103 Google ranking factors, the number
one most negative impact is... blocked by robots.txt.
Since we published the big Google Ranking Factors Expert Survey, I’ve shared many of the graphics with clients. A good chart can often explain a complex SEO concept *instantly*
So we went BIGGER 🌎
We took all 103 ranking factors from the survey and put them into one giant mega-graphic.
It’s seriously huge, and it can help folks see at a glance which "factors" experts believe help/hurt your visibility in traditional Google search results + AI answers (1/2)
Just saw a @fox12oregon TV commercial showing how to add them as a preferred source on Google.
Finally letting this expire... I think it was another 2am "bright idea" I had while at a @Pubcon over 10 years ago.
Years of typing Win+H to engage @Microsoft Voice Access typing and now that's suddenly changed to Alt+Shift+B.
I do not believe that the act of searching for a "quoted snippet" should trigger an AI overview from @Google.
Do you?
I had to remove a bunch of bad urls from Google again, and instead of using the (now monthly $) Chrome Bulk URL removal add-on, I used @claudeai to build my own. Works very well, and took a whole 5 minutes.
A good client has a (self-inflicted) emergency, so texted asking me to restore a backup, but they have "create a backup" as a mobile option but not "restore a backup". WTF? This is REALLY DUMB @wpengine
