New from me: I wrote about how search algorithms have created a web full of content and words for Google, not humans. We made a fake lizard website to show you what has happened over 25 yrs.

The visuals are beautiful. I’m so proud to work with such talented people! www.theverge.com/c/23998379/g...
“Along with the subheads, we’ll add a table of contents to the top of articles so each section becomes a link that can drive traffic on its own. “ A blog post on a fake lizard site is chopped in the subheads with keyword crammed writing that mirrors People Also Ask sections in Search. “We’re also adding significantly more professional background details. We’re going to round up how long we’ve been writing about reptiles — it’s mostly true. Can Google even tell? “ An author bio section shows a longer blurb about experience, targeting Google’s EEAT guidelines. “Our lizard blog doesn’t look much like what we started out with, but it probably resembles hundreds of sites you’ve seen before.” Shows the contrast between the website before SEO took over and after.
