Content decay is killing your old blog posts.
Traffic slips. Ranking drops. Search intent changes.
You can dig through your GSC data or Ahrefs dashboards to find it, but that takes time.

I've got many examples you can add @nikkipilkington.bsky.social 🙃. Interestingly, despite it being against their rules, Google Ads team will never seemingly enforce their policies on this.

Holy crap. Remember when YouTubers exposed the Honey app for injecting/overwriting affiliate links on unsuspecting users?
Google just updated Chrome policies to address this.
PayPal paid $4 billion for Honey. This doesn't kill Honey, but it does (rightly) hurt its business model

Not that anyone cares but after 10-11 years of loyalty to Microsoft I’ve finally switched to a MacBook and let me tell you, Windows has lost the plot.
Mac is way ahead of the game when it comes to functionality, UX, battery timing, features, simplicity, you name it.

What actually moves the needle in SEO? 🤔
I analyzed 131 SEO tests from the SEOTesting site. Some tactics drove traffic growth. Others didn’t. Here’s what worked (and what backfired). 🧵👇

There’s a new update for Windows 11 every single day. I have a beast of a laptop but I’m honestly considering switching from windows.

Its not a shortcut, but the correct answer here is:
1) there has to be a high probability that every page google crawls, will be "crawled, indexed" not "crawled, not currently indexed". If your GSC report is heavy as a percentage on the latter you're toast.

This is flawed. The prompt contains biased queries which of course would result in the answer you’d have gotten.
I’m a big fan of yours but your initial claim unfortunately has no basis.

That’s a bit of a stretch…
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.
Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

That plus survival skills. Men are spending too much time indoors. We need men that know how to build actual stuff.
Trade is a skill that’ll never die and with more and more people shifting towards digital skills, it’s only going to het more expensive to hire trade workers.

When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.

So I just learned about what’s called “Rubber Duck Debugging” don’t know why it’s called that but we all do it every single day - especially as SEOs.

This! If you don’t have the courage to accept your mistake and correct the deliverables or even humble yourself enough to accept the outcome is not always what you predict then you’re in for some brutal awakening.
Exactly, editing the data to make yourself right is a far more popular approach than making yourself right through data.
