It's all happening for us train enthusiasts (or is it just me?) as today marks 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825 - the birth of the modern railway.
So here are some of the many railway linocuts I have done over the years - too many, I hear you say? Surely not… 😂

Does anyone have anything they want to share in the High Signal newsletter?

e.g. MRR updates, selling your website, buying websites or marketing tips

Not sure if this is what you’re after, but I could share how I landed on the idea for SEO.GG

Firing up a new domain? The first thing you need to do is get backlinks.

You need fewer than you think to start ranking — but the referrer matters.

A knew Reddit got a ton of traffic from Google but I didn’t realize how massive its internal search engine, Reddit Answers, had gotten.

Seems like prime real estate for indie hackers.

I'm building a tool that helps you identify potential AI "search phrases" based on a user's query.

By targeting these phrases, you can increase the likelihood of showing up in AI search results.

You can give it a try without creating an account: keywordcanvas.ai

LLMs don't index the internet the way search engines do. Because of this, they rely on SERPs to do the heavy lifting of ranking content.

LLMs create a variety of "search phrases" based on what the user is researching. They then use these phrases to build context to answer the user's prompt.

Jerad Maplethorpe @jerad.io · Aug 8

There's still a lot of debate as to exactly how AI Search chooses which results to show.

But, these points are clear:

1. Good SEO = Good AIO (AI search optimization)
2. Higher page rank = More likely to be cite in AI search results
3. AI Search uses a technique called query fan-out (QFO)

Jerad Maplethorpe @jerad.io · Aug 8

People thought organic search traffic would plummet because of AI Search.

And overall search traffic is down.

BUT the quality of traffic (based on conversions and engagement) is actually better when it originates from AI Search.

So how do you get your content to appear in AI Search results?
