Was a few months ago that i did this, and nothing has changed.

Adding go faster stripes on your car is not going to make any difference to your monthly grocery shopping trip - make sure your car works well and can get your there and back.
Simon Cox (@simoncox.com) believes that the core technical SEO principles will endure as long as websites exist, so avoid chasing fleeting trends and focus on the fundamentals.

If someone tells you SEO is dead, check whether they're selling you something. The answer is almost always yes.

And for the 2nd time this match:

#6Nations #rugby

Very very annoyed by itv’s stupid split screen adverts during the live #6nations #rugby matches. It’s almost as bad as the commentary.

Seriously considering subscribing to a pay per view channel to avoid both.

Meanwhile, Wales are getting a self owned drubbing.

Emphatic win for France - looked like the only reason Ireland got points was because France took the pressure off.

Meanwhile ITVs Nick Mullins commentary is pure Partridge for all the wrong reasons.

France looking very strong against Ireland. Not keen on the split screen adverts.

I say let the Californian’s decide! It’s their land.

😁
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
