Just remember me when you want to exclusively share your revenues 😬

6, 19 and 22 are easily my favourites (I think American's will like the latter one).

Half of what I write and think about is about how David can compete with Goliath so I love this.

Thanks Jason!

Alright, question time.

To share what I wrote on X & LinkedIn in *one* post requires four posts here, which feels excessive and spammy.

And I don't think I rambled at all - just a list of bullet points of highlights from their call.

Is that the norm? Any alternative workaround?

Tim also said:

"In the very recent past financial institutions and some government websites are winning in some areas where they traditionally haven’t, which as I’ve alluded to in past calls is a bit of a head scratcher"

Thank you sir!

Yeah, one of the niches I avoid personally (along with adult, smoking / vaping sites, etc.).

Nothing against it, would just rather someone else was tracking that space if they wanted to.

Any shares on the above are much appreciated 🤝

I know this answer is too long but thank you for asking (!), and I'm sure it's confusing to other people as well, hah.

We have a huge refresh coming soon which will hopefully make the direction of Gaps a lot clearer.

But generally Detailed = SEO. Gaps = startups, funding & revenue.

have really missed the financial side (funding, trends, opportunities, etc.).

I'm still optimistic about the future of search, but have to accept a *ton* is changing right now as well.

I really want to stay on top of where the $ is going, and how people are generating it :)

When I used to run a site called ViperChill (which is where my username is from) I basically wrote 50% of my content on startup & business ideas, and 50% was about SEO.

Realised I should focus on one, and Detailed won out for many years.

I got so into reporting on the SEO of big businesses that I
