That’s weird, the useful info is too high up for it to be the *real* algorithm 🤭

I purposely avoided getting more of the inside of the room into the photo. You never know!

Proof that Page Rank is still used! 😛

Time to reinstall the Google toolbar 😛

johnmu.com•65 days ago

You don't need the toolbar, just ask a chatboi.

You put a lot of pressure on the chatbot in your prompt. Surprised that it didn’t bump your website’s page rank a little 😀

I tried (cc: @ryanjones.bsky.social ) 😝

Also, that shows the link list for @ryanjones.bsky.social & I to work on. @johnmu.com can you take care of the Google link for us? Ideally right above the query entry field 😁

Fun fact, I used to actually have a link from Google. When they first launched XML site maps I made a tool to crawl your site and create one and they linked to it from the XML site maps page.

Did you break an NDA by revealing this?

johnmu.com•65 days ago

Uhm

rustybrick.com•65 days ago

yea, I snapped a bunch of photos back in 2023 - posted some at https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxv9yOGPa50/

Oh, I missed that wall - I was wondering if it had gone away somehow. Hilarious that Fred made it to the list.

rustybrick.com•65 days ago

yea, super funny and it was a special moment for @methode.bsky.social and I standing at that wall and discussing Fred. :P

This looks like a very organized potential murder room

johnmu.com•65 days ago

That sounds oddly specific :)

Indigo-ogle — the color that’s a ranking factor was all along hidden in plain sight

Mandatory: @not-a-robot.com because Indigo was mentioned out of context.

Who shared the top secret ranking plans? We must launch an investigation 🥸

The main NYC Google office has some fun meeting room names, for those who have been around SEO for a while. Wysz, are you on here?

I assume, from past discussions, that this room isn't ever used...

lol

ammonjohns.bsky.social•64 days ago

It generally isn't used, but if there is a meeting just about internal issues where the outcome won't matter beyond that, it is the perfect room!

tony.mccreath.id.au•65 days ago

Did they pay for that backlink 🤫

ammonjohns.bsky.social•65 days ago

Not only is it paid for, you can see it isn't of natural materials and colours, so it is a paid-for, *artifical/unnatural* backlink :)

johnmu.com•65 days ago

No no, look at the wood - it's ORGANIC.
