A graphics showing the interlinks between websites. This image appears to illustrate the interlinking nature of PBNs. PBNs attempt to lever pagerank-like algorithms to boost either search rank, or SEO vendor metrics. The latter sometimes used as an indicator of domain name value.

At springs #brightonSEO I had a Eurika moment, popped up to decathlon, bought myself trainers, shorts, socks and a tshirt and started myself on #Couchto5k - I’ve had a few set backs and stalls since, but delighted that on the cusp of this autumns event I’m on the brink of success.

An interesting detail that seems to be getting lost @brianwernham.bsky.social - the government want this mandatory digital id card to be on your phone.

Will this be a mandatory app? Government spyware on everyone’s mobile? At least those of us who can afford one?

Very big brother if so.

Couch to 5k suggested changing my running route this morning. I *think* I can manage that. #BrightonSEO San Diego

If I get targeted with another ad for a product that’s “designed for seniors” I’ll get so mad I’ll have to put down my horlicks, stroll over to the bureau and write an angry letter to readers digest.

SEO was a bit of a misnomer anyway. A more formal term would have been based around information retrieval. No wonder the old tricks still work. Meanwhile the industry seems to be sinking into a rather insular, old macdonalds farm version of SEO: AEO GEO AIO. How long before we hit “e-i-e-I-o”?

Goodnight all, may your most generous dreams come true x

A picture of the sky at night. Stars and possible astronomical features are present.

Last one to compare is hours in a year. Thats 24 x 365. We don’t need to work it out - the only question is if 60 x 60 is greater than 365 ( cancel out the 24 in both equations ). As 60 x 6 is 360 we can say seconds in a day wins.

Steve Pitchford @stevejpitchford.bsky.social · Aug 15

Days in a decade is about 3650 ( 365 x 10 ) that’s smaller than 60 x 60 x 24 so seconds in a day still wins.

Steve Pitchford @stevejpitchford.bsky.social · Aug 15

It’s a sorting problem. To start, seconds in day and minutes in week. Both are multiplications - with the same core of operations. 60 is greater than 7 so seconds in a day is bigger.

The theme of the importance of brand visibility in a zero click world continues with @tcapper.co.uk and his exploration of AI features in SERPs and LLMs. All this talk of brand makes me wonder if I have a copy of “The Long and the Short of it” lying around…
