#Google will only consider the 1st 15MB of content in a HTML file or supported text based file for indexing After that, it stops crawling so if you have content buried past that 1st 15MB, you are unlikely to see the #SEO benefit This is effectively hidden "important" content

The @ahrefs situation is becoming ridiculous The credit quota is making the tool almost useless unless you're a large agency with loads of bunse With DR becoming pretty obsolete, all we need is an alternative to link intersect and I think many will be done with it A real shame

Honestly, when you see some of the antics tools like Ahrefs and SEMRush get up to in terms of over charging for seats, their API & credits as well as incessant upsell and copying features badly, this is such a breath of fresh air @keywordinsights will always be my go to #SEO

So, a new Missguided website is launching some time in 2024 But instead of a conventional splash page and a 503 response code with an indication of when the server will be available again, it 301 redirects all URLs to the homepage and renders a 404 Not the way i'd have gone

Remember that Google “penalties” are rare You’ve probably not been penalised, @google has just realised loads of your competitors are better So stop whinging, work out why and be better. It’s not witch hunt, refrain from trying to game the system and focus on being the best

If you aren't putting the salary for your job vacancy on your website, then you need to have a word with yourself You know what your budget is, and how much good talent costs (and will generate for your business) Put it on the ad, don't keep it vague so you can low ball people

Big #SEO gripe, is tools demanding you pay for Enterprise or Agency subscriptions just to use their API As a start-up, there's no way I can justify that but means I can't use @sistrix , @ahrefs , @semrush and a few others properly in Looker or to sync data to Sheets It's a shame
