Israel no longer bothers to dispute the Gaza Health Ministry figures, which show that the number of civilians killed since October 7 is the highest in any war in the 21st century
More and more evidence shows – most of the Gaza war deaths are civilians

The Times appears to have interviewed an 'ex Buckingham Palace cleaner' who supposedly divulges royal stain removal secrets but doesn't seem to exist, is possibly AI, and probably placed by a PR agency to boost SEO for a tiling brand.

Can we please, as human beings who happen to work in SEO, stop saying "sauce" and "link juice"?

I'm creating Q4 projections and I find myself writing slide titles like "Moist Synergy Leverages Low-Hanging Fruit" and I hate myself.

Noah Webster, help!

Why do people who never go to cities get so upset about them?
I drove through rural Georgia once, didn't like it.
I haven't been back, problem solved.

These soulless people see this as a lucrative business for “doing what they love” (his words not mine.)

You know who else had that same energy? Slave catchers in the late 17th and 18th centuries.

And now we're going to see a bunch of THIS.

I've been on Reddit for 15 years. Enshittification began long ago, but this (admittedly data-driven) theory that Quora/Reddit saturation is the route to relevance for your clients is why MARKETERS RUIN EVERYTHING.

Get creative, you dumb fucks.

I'm constantly running 28-day month-over-month tests for my clients. GSC is spitting the same results for every variable:

Impressions up, clicks and CTR down.

My clients aren't big brands, but they are "known" names in their fields. Is this Google AI Overviews munching up the top of our funnel?

LLM visibility isn’t random. It’s engineered.

Top-performing companies earn up to 4.8× more AI citations by :

Updating content every 90 days
Structuring pages for machine readability
Citing outside sources early
Formatting for snippet capture
And staying on-brand and on-message

As a 15-year+ Reddit user, I PROMISE this: All the accounts giving real and valuable information have been suspended.

So what's left? What are the LLMs gleaning?

I promise to deliver what I've committed to deliver, on the schedule we agreed on. I tell new clients to allow six months to see significant ROI, especially in competitive local industries. I usually see improvements at the 3 and 4-month mark. But I prefer to under-promise and over-deliver.

A long-distance runner can hire someone to plan an optimal meal schedule, ensure that she has the best running shoes, that she is training properly... Can they promise her that she will win next year’s Boston Marathon? Sure, they can make a verbal promise—but they’re not being honest.

Understanding the nuances of ranking a business website means understanding that you can implement today’s best practices—especially the ones that will make a difference to your business—within a given timeframe, but setting hard deadlines for specific KPIs is a fool’s errand.

"How long will it take to see results?"

Repeat after me: No one in #SEO can “guarantee” a result within a given time frame. Period. If someone calling themselves an SEO or digital marketer tells you otherwise, run in the other direction.
