Whitworth is the authentic
#SEO
company. We’re famous for no fuss, jargon free organic search consultancy. Meticulous and strictly focused on results and ROI
#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
Woah, just found out that you have to repay your maternity pay to The Hut Group if you don't stay there for a year after you have your baby.....in 2022
Grim
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

I've worked so hard in my career, to try to retire without ever sharing a smug GSC graph
But to hell with it, i'm a hypocrite
No link building, trust in our onsite strategy, pro-active client who gets tech implemented and a top product
Non brand clicks: Proper

Seriously, are the trolls going for
@jonoalderson
just doing so for some air time in the hope it gets them noticed
Stop being ridiculous, zip it and do some work 😂
If you need to be told that building a brand is good for your organic visibility, then you need a career change
My most toxic habit is checking previous clients performance after they've left despite awesome results
It's impossible to resist but awful for one's mental health
Nice to know they'll have a good Christmas though
It pains me to say it, but i'm going to have to miss my first BrightonSEO in about 7 years
With how expensive the event & train tickets are now, with digs this would cost me over a grand
This is 3 times more expensive than the last event I attended as a punter, in Barcelona!
This fall from SEO grace never ceases to blow my mind, and it's still worsening month after month after month
5 years this visibility has been dropping. A few of us know the real reasons why, and it just didn't have to be this way
Very sad indeed
Without doubt my favourite talk I’ve ever delivered
Thanks
@brightonseo
for the opportunity and to

Milestone!
Some of you big agency heads will probably laugh into your coffee, but 100 individuals Googling "Whitworth SEO" is quite a big deal to me, after barely a year
Hopefully i'll look back at this and chuckle, but with no PR or advertising, this is pretty cool

So companies House was cool...
Registering as a director was pretty cool too..
But an official

23 days until I make the scariest career move for over five years
Anxious, sad, and nervous whilst at the same time excited and optimistic. It's an odd feeling
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
All of this nonsense is a bit like being a drug dealer, having a massive illegal rave at your house and advertising it on Twitter, then moaning when the a police come over and shut it down
Google may have discovered you through your bragging on socials, and maybe even checked
Another absolute blinder of a feature from

I know it exists in other tools but a great addition to the suite and the interface is superb

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
Honestly, never used

Business until recently
Since I have, i've lost access to my personal Insta (no biggie), spent a fortune, unable to get any invoices, unable to change my profile picture and everything I do is "unusual activity"
Absolutely unusable.

Executive to join my rapidly growing team at BBI
This is the perfect opportunity for an individual with a solid base of SEO knowledge, looking to grow at a forward-thinking, award-winning agency
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
Well, given today was most probably my last day in an office as an agency
#SEO
, it was a bit of an anti climax 😑
Just the four of us, and we didn't even toast it with a beer
First world problem, admittedly. But COVID, you really are a wazok
Todays chatter about click data has kept on reminding me about a ridiculous tiff i had with an SEO dinosaur a few weeks ago
He trolled me after my Brighton SEO talk, saying that if there aren't patents or papers written about a tactic, then its BS
Very little is official in SEO
Never wanted to leave a country less.

This is a great example of how Google's currently broken
SEO Services and SEO Consultant are not the same thing
As far as i know, they are all agencies not consultants
And I THINK you have to pay to be in that list

Removed a disavow file last month, with tens of thousands of sites in it.

I reviewed the file and made the potentially brave decision to just delete the file with the view we could always

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

Exciting times, Google better not pull any mad updates out the bag
In all seriousness though, the brand/direct traffic you get from a good digital pr campaign is probably more valuable than any backlinks you will get
But if your site is technically flawed, then you’re wasting most of your investment
