So was spun articles from sites like TextBroker ;) and long term, probably just as valuable.

So you are saying he's looking for a round of funding from greedy/hopeful/not too bright VCs....

Someone tell him the way he is gripping the club is backwards.

I guess one to two sentence paragraphs are how we write for LLMs now....

I guess I answered my own question... the paragraph breaks are in the visible text www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/youn...

It'd be interesting to know if the writer actually intended to make each sentence a separate paragraph or if the plugin is presenting the content in <p> tags for chunking but the style displays without paragraph breaks in the visible text.

They've only been in business 188 years. Maybe soon they will have enough brand signal for Google to figure it out.

Which reinforces that Google does not, and possibly should not, care what SEOs think of the quality of results. If the average user thinks they are better, that's all that matters, no matter whether it causes SEOs consternation of not.

Interesting! I may actually be there on Saturday (I'm from Vancouver) and will be in Milan and the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana is one of the few museums in central Milan I haven't been to.

I'm Canadian and I won't risk going to conferences in the US now.

Wipes if I have them or a clean dry soft cloth. If they are really bad a drop of dish soap and some warm water.

I get your point but the labour and cost arguments don't hold up when the wholesale value of heroin, for example, is $20,000 for 500g. The costs to the traffickers is negligible. I wonder how much of this will be used compared to having it exist to placate the US.

And his followers love him for it because it makes them feel better about the same flaws within themselves.

I'm surprised the SEO news blogs haven't picked this up yet. Maybe they will now.

I think I can live with LLM optimization being an area of specialty within SEO.

Fair enough. I’ve always advocated that SEO is a long term investment but agree many push quick wins, and most clients want them. I liken it to putting $100 a week in the bank. You won’t be rich anytime soon but do it consistently for long enough and you will.

Convincing a client they're going to have to do some long-term things that won't show short-term value, should have been your message as an SEO for the last 20 years :)

Yes! Build a great business, a great product, a great service. Promote it. Get people to talk about it. Make sure your site has good foundational tech for search. The days of hacks, loopholes, and dodges are over. Great businesses and sites will succeed. SEO is finally growing up.

What if he meant Paradise, Newfoundland?

I think we are saying the same thing, because a popular and trusted brand would naturally attract more links and be mentioned more often, particularly by other trusted sites... and get a large amount of searches specifically for the brand name. Links and citations are just easy to measure.

I understand what Ann is saying but I've always considered brand a part of EEAT. Brand mentions, sentiment, etc. is a reasonably easy set of signals to detect and fairly reliable in establishing authority and trust at scale. I work on the premise that most of EEAT is brand, citations, and links.

You admire intelligence because you aren’t intimidated by it. Low to average intelligence people used to admire intelligent people. Something in at least North American culture has shifted to make people threatened by and jealous of those markedly more intelligent than themselves.

People, especially those of lower intelligence, need a leader to follow who is just slightly more intelligent than they are, but not so intelligent as to make them feel inadequate. He’s also proof that someone of average intelligence can be successful, which gives them hope.

Yeah, it’s typical pie in the sky nonsense to generate PR and/or the next round of funding.
