With the amount of ai rubbish being put there, we must surely be getting to the point where the training data is feeding on its self. Weakening and diluting the output quality even further.
Many a time with even the slightest of push back when I haven’t agreed with an answer their answer changes.
I heard he will also be giving away the back door access on how to ensure you rank number 1, top results in AIO, completely dominate PAA, and get all available snippets for your chosen search queries. What a catch!! #aprilfools
Yeah! PITA. Still calibrating for Sunday stats!
Two rules I follow
Never be afraid to admit you're unsure but back it up with, I will find out for you. Promotes confidence in what you do say and encouragement in honesty.
Never berate another SEOs work, if it's legit seo and instead come at it from a "I would have taken this approach"
Is anyone else seeing a lag in their Google Search Console data. Hasn't been updated for 18.5 hours but performance graph still collecting data from Sunday!

Crawl vs behaviour
TL;DR: Clean crawl ≠useful page.
Use behaviour data to spot reading friction even when crawl tools look fine.
#seotips
Category pages
TL;DR: Grids alone are thin.
Add short, useful context and FAQs to category pages so users and search can understand the range.
#seotips
#SEO in the wild. Just seen this in #Google Search Console. Nice little comparison percentage added to the Performance tab.
Site search data
TL;DR: Users reveal gaps.
Check internal search queries. Use them to fix navigation, headings, FAQs, or missing pages.

SEO IS DEAD! 😂
Worldwide Google trends suggest otherwise. Interest in SEO has grown significantly in the past year
Don't chase the latest "shiny new label", instead continue to focus on GOOD SEO!
#seo #google #googletrends
To be honest generally speaking I would only include URLs that I want indexed within my sitemap.
But there are of course caveats and the one you mentioned would help in monitoring the indexation of old pages Vs new pages say in GSC.
Sitemaps
TL;DR: Keep them clean.
Remove redirects, 404s, and noindex pages from sitemaps. List only URLs meant for indexing.

Or spin the bloody wheel. Stop with Temu tactics and actually serve your customers.
Secondly if you can offer these great deals, why not offer them to me now, instead of stupid game
Looking at the #google search status dashboard like...
Thanks John. I appreciated there was more to it. Just I haven't seen this happen across so many pages before and wasn't sure of "blacklisting" so to speak
Titles, even yahoo, bing and duckduckgo are displaying the right title. But Google seems to have stopped updating. I would have put it down to some caching within the data centres but for 3 weeks now, it seems to long a time period! Is there some block applied if changes are made
@johnmu.com hi John
Hope all is well, over the course of the last 3 weeks I have updated page titles to various pages (genuinely top 10 visited), usually I see these changes update on Google within 24hours but these changes aren't showing in the SERPS. SEO plugins and source all show correct
Service areas
TL;DR: Lists don’t help much.
Avoid town-name lists. Create real location pages only where demand and differentiation exist.
#seotips
I personally don't but my little boy who (unfortunately) just found this song does and giggles constantly when doing it
Title tags
TL;DR: Samey titles underperform.
Avoid copy-paste title patterns. Use plain differentiators and clear service language.

Google pixel 8a and I have no issues, but to be honest, not on it as much as you
Wasn't this part of the "listicle" crackdown?
He is all over Reddit doing this in his threads. It's so cringy
Pruning content on site
Check links before removal.
Audit internal and external links, merge where possible, then redirect and update internal links to the new page.
#seotips
Canonicals
TL;DR: Wrong canonicals cause silent loss.
Watch for canonicals pointing to home, old URLs, or parameters. Check templates after rebuilds.
#seotips
GBP categories
TL;DR: The wrong category can limit reach.
Check that the primary and secondary categories match the core service, then align GBP services with the site.
#seotips
GSC Triage
TL;DR: Impressions without clicks show waste.
Start with high-impression pages (and low clicks) in GSC, review and if keeping, tighten intent and the first screen of content. SEO Stack also has real-time overview of dead and weak pages. Great for new client sites.
