People will go to great lengths for quick cash, but often shy away from making the effort for long-term gains.

What aspect of SEO is ASMR for you?

I wrote a Python app to manage my personal photo/video collection that spans 5+ years. It runs in 3 phases: 1. Gathers all metadata from the files (EXIF, IPTC) including geodata. 2. Reverse geocodes to convert latitude and longitude to locations and addresses. 1/3

There are so many kitchen/food hacks online where people try to get as much microplastics into their food as possible.

I just realized that a SERP is just a "people also click" list. #SEO

This is how meta title testing works: You create new hot meta titles and set them up for a subset of pages, wait 30 days to see clicks and CTR go up, and assume the new metatags are top-notch. What's happening under the hood: Your new meta titles sucked ... 1/2

Notice a Google update brewing? #SEO

DeepSeek is a modern fidget spinner.

The spammers emailing you with offers to fix your site's SEO certainly know how to grow it better than your in-house SEO team.

Your #SEO strategies and tactics are only as good as the person making decisions based on incomplete 3rd party data and vanity metrics.

Being a Googler is hard. Every opinion you express, even if it's your personal opinion said somewhere in a thread, is taken as "Google says"... Ughhhh... #SEO

My polls on Mastodon & X show at least 3 cases with home pages disappearing from Google Search

In 2025, have you noticed that the home pages of legitimate websites suddenly disappear from Google Search? #SEO

What's better: Semhrefs or Ahrush?

Don't argue with those who have more free time than you.

Folks, I'm one step away from becoming an influencer!

What happened?

Strong brand + SEO

@johnmu.com Hi John, Happy New Year! I have a strange situation I was hoping you could take a look at. I noticed you're not active on Mastodon anymore, how could I DM you the details, if possible?

#SEO tools I can't live without: Script_1.py Book1.xlsx New file.gsheet Default.lnk

Writing on a bag of potato chips that they are gluten-free is the same as attaching an FAQ to the article with answers that the article did not cover. #SEO

‼️ As we have reached the annual re-indexing of life, remember: Your PageRank of happiness depends not on the quantity of links, but on the authoritative domains of the people you surround yourself with. Don't chase after quick fate updates - the UX of organic growth is always better. 1/4 #SEO

I won't read any further if your "How to Outrank Your Competitors" guide starts with "What is a Competitor" or "Identify Your Competitors"... #SEO

Semantic HTML in the 90s

UNICEF and UK(.)COM have parasites abusing their sites with XXX stuff. #SEO
