A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas.

Be a love, and pay it today.

I like Heather Cox Richardson. She’s a nice lady IRL who has clearly read a lot of books.

Sometimes robots.txt is complicated on its own, and sometimes you just "have to" make it more complicated, right?

@wunsch.dk 's robots.txt file runs Doom, it includes everything in one robots.txt file.

doom.wunsch.dk/robots.txt

Will this madness ever end? (never!)

#seo #robots.txt #hashtags
Robots.txt - Can it run doom? Turns out it can:

doom.wunsch.dk/robots.txt (html)

doomxml.wunsch.dk/robots.txt (xml - Firefox only, due to inline xslt not supported in webkit based browsers)

Wow, blown away by the talks at the amazing Tech SEO Connect conference this week.

I took lots of notes (10k words 😅) from all the talks and used AI to summarize the main takeaways, which you can see here:

Trump's been nuking all the hurricanes. They're a thing of the past now.
I know it's not the worst part of that Cabinet meeting (or even in the top 10, probably), but I'm still suffering brain damage over Noem claiming there were no hurricanes this season and that it was because of Trump.

Help me get this straight - I might be incorrect. A person from Afghanistan drove across the country to shoot two National Guard members in DC. Trump reacted by blaming "loose immigration policies" and sending 500 MORE NG. And the shooter was A NATIONAL GUARD MEMBER? apnews.com/article/nati...

I'm guessing Trump is waiting for Thanksgiving day itself before insituting Marhsall Law in DC. It'll be so much sweeter for him that way.

I was looking for tables plugin for WordPress today. I clicked a link from Reddit to the URL below. Immediately closed the tab and went to the next option instead of digging for it. Friends, get your redirects in order and build a great 404 page. You're losing money if you don't.

Hi @johnmu.com

Not sure if you can answer, but starting to hear a lot about creating separate markdown / JSON pages for LLMs and serving those URLs to bots.

Can you share Google’s perspective on this?

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

At this point, if you say "What about Bill Clinton?!" then you're just telling me that you don't actually care about protecting women/girls -- you only care about scoring political points at their expense. Wanting rapists and predators to rot in prison isn't a team sport for some of us.
