A non-profit we're helping had 2 of their domain names stolen by a web designer.

A gofundme to raise legal funds is coming soon.

The non-profit helps veterans and victims of domestic violence.

Just removed about 50 pages a site that were being generated that are thin content pages: tag pages.

There's no reason to include tags AND categories in WordPress nowadays. It's just useless, thin content.

If you let it expire, the new owner of the domain can set up a catch-all email and start getting all emails sent to that domain.

Here we go again. Do we really need another "standard" for AI LLMs?

Capxel announced LLM-LD (Large Language Model Linked Data) (llmld.org), an open spec intended to make website content directly interpretable by AI systems.

SEO snake oil with added protein.

Wow, they’re adding protein into everything nowadays.

That time when a major company sends a partner announcement.

Now I have a list of every single partner and they all have MY email address, as well.

And then partners start sending "reply all" to everyone.

I don't think it has always been like that.

Per John Berryhill (a trusted domain name attorney): If you are using a domain name for personal email, a hobby, or some kind of other personal or family use, you NEED to move it out of GoDaddy immediately:

Interesting AI Overview search result. If you're doing SEO right, you can literally dominate the AI Overviews.

Apparently 'domain diversity' doesn't really exist in AI Overviews.

In organic SERPs, domain diversity used to be a thing, not wanting to show too many results with the same domain name.

How many for you?

All 20 for me.

A photo of Bill Hartzer with the quote "When you create a new page, do some really heavy analysis on what's ranking well right now in the top 10 results, and compare that. What topics are they mentioning on the page? What do you need to mention? Can you do that in more depth and have a better piece of content?"

Bill Hartzer (@billhartzer.com) recommends analysing the top results for your target keywords, identifying the key topics they cover, and creating a more comprehensive and in-depth piece of content.

What ChatGPT thinks of me.

I think it knows too much.

yeah, that's something I can definitely agree with :)

Did I get a click from a celebrity? LOL

Search query was "why is my name on Google Trends".

I'm assuming that if they're on Google Trends then they're famous?
