Howdy SEO Folks: Anyone ever seen a MASSIVE change in GSC stats on specific pages in the "most recent day" data?

On Friday last week, we saw a *huge increase* in traffic across a subset of pages, by Sunday not only was it not reported, final figures appeared less than average.

@johnmu.com Just sent you a DM about incorrect reporting in GSC...... thanks!

Anyone else notices that the lingscars.com got a makeover? Why did they finally succumb to 'good sense' when the previous iterations held such appeal? I'm sad 😔

That entirely depends on the rest of the information you’re about to give me.

Are there any "unified inbox" social apps? Where I can get BSK, linkedin, facebook, twitter (yuck) all in the same place?

Martin MacDonald @martinmacdonald.com · Mar 13

Just updated my BSK handle to a unique domain - anyone know if this updates lists etc. that I may appear on?

Decided to fully engage in non-fascist platforms....!

Writing blog posts is NOT an SEO strategy.

If you've been pitched this as your strategy, seek professional assistance.
