Maybe I'm mean but... there is a certain satisfaction when a client dispenses with your #SEO services because "The developers say they've got it from here..."

And, a few months later you check back and find... they've blocked half the site from crawling with an erroneous robots.txt line. 😂

@dannysullivan Ha-ha-ha! The Mastodon crop of this photo is amazing... you look like a tiny garden fairy!

Great weather for it! Enjoy the show!

Another example of #SEO sneaking into headline news.

In summary: firm in shady sector does shady SEO (buying links) to game rankings:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/may/14/gambling-firm-allegedly-paid-blogs-to-link-new-mothers-to-its-online-games

Preempting the defence: "Everyone else does it!/They started it!!/We have to to keep up! It's Google or someone else's fault!" + "Oh yeah, and we're sorry. Honest." 🙄

This is a cracking line from the parent company:

"Entain said the links did not provide it with any search engine benefits."

Uh-huh... either woefully misunderstanding how SEO works or a deliberate obfuscation (surely not?). 🙄

@simoncox See, I'd assume that too but... that's with my 'seeing everything through SEO' glasses on.

Maybe they didn't? It's possible.

@simoncox Ah, the old cock-up vs. conspiracy test. 😆

So if this is 42. I'll take it.

Today is my birthday. I'm 42. I don't mind it that much. Doesn't really feel any different. Just a few more aches. But other than that, I'm very lucky. I have a great family. Great wife, kid, doggy. My parents are all still here.

My business is doing well. My podcast is booming. I'm lucky.

Here's to 42! The meaning of life and everything else.

Already quite bored of the Google Analytics reminders, nudges, countdown timers, emails - all about setting up GA4.

Not least that GA4 is a hot mess, painful to use and inferior to UA in many ways.

But mostly because it just seems about $$$ (when isn't it?).

I've got clients set-up on GA4 fine - but their set-up is "incomplete" because...?

They didn't connect it to their (non-existent) Google Ads account. 😒

@simoncox The improvements will, I'm sure, be welcome but...

If you're forcing users into a product which is inferior to the existing option then your timelines/priorities are wrong.

So @andijarvis is 'On The Don' now.

Former #BrightonSEO keynote; frequent (and bloomin' great) speaker; he's a marketing strategy maven and irritatingly lovely (clearly murdered kittens in a previous life).

Well worth a follow.

@starbreaker @bobmonsour @simoncox Would browsers insist in trowsers in this instance?

Hands up if you know what one of these is? (just cut this one of the wall in my son's room before we redecorate).
