Omg!! I’M SO EXCITED!
Husband wanted to give me a special Christmas gift. He gave me 1 dart and a world map and said “Throw the dart and wherever it lands, we will go there for 2 weeks as a holiday.”

Hey
@Google
as a human being & not an SEO I'd like to ask you remove the irrelevant US results from the UK searches for commercial intent. I just wasted time on a site with no shipping options to the UK. Also - too many affiliates for US networks only ranking. KPLZTXBAI

I love

- no one is paying me to say that, I'm not hoping for socks (OK - yes I am but not specifically for saying this), and I'm not saying this for perks. I genuinely LOVE
#Semrush
and I have for a long time. It is probably the most versatile tool out there.
Hot take: If you think ChatGPT is the end of journalism, you aren’t a very good journalist. If you similarly think ChatGPT is the death of writing about a niche topic, you’re a shit writer.
In SEO I think we have to be careful to understand what will result in a material change and not just do things because some list said we should. I’m building SEO QA checklists focused on business-critical checks, not just all SEO elements.
And thank you to
#BrightonSEO
for checking in and offering assistance! I’m not letting things like this ruin my conferencing anymore and I’m going to always do what I can to keep women around me safe too - awesome to see
@brightonseo
actively ensuring people like this aren’t safe
This is a genuinely important point. We aren’t manipulating Google - we’re helping SEs contextualise and understand websites so the search engines themselves can then assess the value of those sites for a query.
#PR
and

are more connected than ever, which is why we're thrilled to launch the SEO best practice guide for PR. Written by SEO guru
@JudithLewis
, the guide is a dedicated resource for all levels of PR and comms:
Me: >*does shedloads of work and presents it*<
Client: 'Ya but what if we didn't do this thing you did all the research for because we might have changed our minds? What about this brand new scenario we never shared with you?'
Me: >*dies*<
“The perpetrator must be told they are being banned for this bad behavior,” she added. “It’s not fair to shadowban someone. Tell them and enable them to change.”
If you cannot deal with the fact that we all need to wear masks by law now, block the fuck out of me because the evidence is that they work to protect others - so if you are TOO FUCKING SELFISH to care about others, get the fuck out of my life you selfish jizzpuppet.

If you commit to doing something, do it. Don't pull out at the last minute or fail to do it. Whether it's speaking at a conference or judging an awards, if you make a commitment, just bloody do it so others don't have to pick up your slack.
SEO comes in many different flavours. Different types of SEO requires different skills. Tech SEO is not the one true SEO, and never has been. Go to and see how many different kinds of SEO specialisms there are and DON’T LET ANYONE force you down one path.

Tweeting of shameful conference organiser behaviour, this was sent to
@dergal
expecting not only that he would do all the work, but that he would also pay for the privilege. I don’t know who needs to hear this but OH HELL NO! Pitch small events or
@brightonseo
instead. Not this!
I don’t know who needs to hear this: If you feel weak, I will be fierce for you. If you fall, I will stick my fat ass out to help you up. If you feel like death is the only escape, I’m here to listen to you and never judge. Your feelings are valid and I’m here for you.
I often don't apply for US-based conferences because I'm so obviously Native/ethnic to people there I face real discrimination so I just don't bother. The snide comments are tiring. Europe is way more accepting - no "go back to the Rez" comments. I'm too tired to fight, so don't.
At conferences I will repeat questions or wait for the mic to reach the questioner - PLEASE fellow speakers remember that not everyone has perfect hearing and some may be embarrassed. Make all parts of your talk accessible to as many of the audience as possible 🙏💖🙏
This is some amazing news - positive stories like rice farmers using ducks instead of pesticides and iceland legislating equal pay to become the first in the world to do so plus that tribal chief who outlawed child marriage and annulled 1500 marriages
Sadly I've pulled an enterprise tool sale from a company because of a bully on staff. There are consequences to bad behavior and this time, it's monetary. That's a lot of cash that now won't go to paying staff wages, etc. If everyone did this, maybe they'd change but until then

The number of clients I have because agencies seem to only be able to pluck low hanging fruit is high. I’m a fully integrated digital marketer and spot things agencies don’t. I’ve rescued clients. I’ve catapulted clients. I do it as a passion, not as a job. So does

I hardly ever lose any clients; but I did lose one 2 years ago; however he surprised me just now after having gone through 2 agencies calling me to ask wether I was open to coming back. He basically told me; those agencies were bullshitters.....guess I need to up my prices.
Over 9k people follow me, 8,500 of whom likely never log on to Twitter anymore, 450 of whom are trolls or the target of trolls, and 50 of whom are

Dude that is some serious shit. I’m so sorry to hear that happened but knowing the brain as I do, I have every faith yours will rewire & you will recover. It’ll seem impossible at times, & it’ll hurt, but it will rewire & it will work. Just remember new neural pathways take time.

Don't assume everyone shares your motivation. Don't assume everyone understands what you mean. Sometimes the biggest misunderstandings happen simply because we all have different life experiences so see the same thing differently.

Just because it is not *your* experience, does not invalidate the experience in others. Be careful not to judge solely based on your personal, exclusive experience. Be open to understand, learn, and respect. Please. 🙏 Thank you 💖
Given the U.K. has done so well could we not donate liquid oxygen somehow to India as we don’t need as much as they clearly do? Israel? The UAE? If there is a little from everywhere maybe it’ll be enough to bridge the gap...?
