We're announcing a new partnership with StopNCII.org to prevent non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) from spreading on Bluesky. While NCII hasn't been frequent on our platform, these incidents are devastating for victims and preventing them is a top safety priority. 1/4

His site may be penalized.
Ex: his "dead frameworks" post is indexed.

But, perform a search for an exact-match sequence from it and a scraper page is shown in the SERP, but his site's page isn't.

Conduct the same search adding:
site:aifoc.us

...and only THEN does the blog post show in the SERP.

I said the same on X.com.

@johnmu.com I have a case where a municipal website has a page for disclosing street improvement plans. It has 4,264 links in a long list for plans going back decades.

Links lower on the page aren't indexed.

What number of links can be indexed on a page?

Last year I ranted about how I'd bid for a domain name thru GoDaddy offering a low 4-figure sum, seller accepted, I provided payment, and then the interaction halted due to no response from the seller.

I just bought the domain for only $128!

So crazy!

Wait. Website content might NOT impact Google Maps keyword rankings. Chris Silver Smith (@silver-smith.bsky.social) just came out with an interesting study on this.

Have you read my latest article on 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 for #LocalSEO at @searchengineland.bsky.social?

A lot of people have assumed how some processes work for Google Maps optimization that are invalid: find out what works! searchengineland.com/website-conten…

Why, what's happening? Hope you are alright!

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

I don't use that - oddly, I wasn't aware of it.

But, Structured Data is easy for me - and, I was recommending that SEO people use structured data before the search engines adopted it! (And I have the receipts!)

Scratched foot on a beach or something?

Of course, using the number of search results for a query is not the only use-case of the number. It assists in knowing how many pages are indexed from a particular website (using a site: search) when you do not have access to that site's Google Search Console.

Thanks!

Huge heads-up! Manual actions for 'Site reputation abuse' have already started going out based on the policy update. Jason Kilgore pinged me on LinkedIn about this. So I checked CNN Underscored, WSJ Buyside, and others. Gone. Here is one of the manual actions just applied (not a site mentioned) #seo

Welcome to my Bluesky! 🌅🦋

Is this fresh air? I will try to keep it so in my posts here.

Thank you for your follows and comments!

"Ok. The SEO vibe is officially, dramatically better in this place."

So far.
