Too difficult a decision to make. I might just join @simoncox.com in the pub & watch both later too 😆

If AI can write your content, I'd seriously question whether it should be written in the first place. What value does it add?

I have my micro tiger installed in the bookcase beside me.

I understand. I just can't picture exactly what you mean to be able to offer any useful advice. My brain is a bit frazzled at the moment though! 😆

Do you have an example you can share?

🧵 AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are sending visitors to your site right now, but they're buried in your referral traffic, or worse Unassigned (because these platforms don’t know how to properly set UTM parameters).

🤣 That's like my rowing machine that sits in the corner & gets dusted occasionally.

Helpful if you're looking to buy something such as a car manual for a specific model made within a certain date range and stuff like that I guess.

How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral Machine translators have made it easier than ever to create error-plagued Wikipedia articles in obscure languages. What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages?

What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages? An interesting read on AI and Greenlandic Wikipedia -

Thanks so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it.

TMM IRL: SEO - What to Do When You Can’t Do It All | The Marketing Meetup The Milton Keynes Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Milton Keynes to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂

Are you in/around Milton Keynes on 15th October?

If not, do you wanna be?

I'm speaking at @themarketingmeetup.bsky.social's event there about 'SEO: What To Do When You Can't Do It All'.

It's a 'donation ticketed event' (you pick the price from £3 to £30): themarketingmeetup.com/events/milto...

Anyone got the lowdown on the new Mac OS Tahoe? Is it ok upgrading on a Mac that's 2 or 3 years old, or should I not bother?

Just found out @alanbleiweiss.bsky.social has passed. Absolutely devastated. Such a gentleman and true SEO genius. Thoughts are with his close family & friends. RIP Alan 💔

🤣 Society needs to take a good long look at itself!

Did I just see an ad on TV for 'lower body spray'?! Marketeers have really lost the run of themselves! 😩🤣

Stupidly offered to help a client set up a Facebook Ad. Facebook is the most complicated, unintuitive pile of nonsense I have ever come across!! I even had to search "how to add an image to a Facebook Ad" because it's the most hidden option ever! 🤦‍♀️

Complete faff & waste of a Saturday afternoon.

You know the rule though, don't you..? It's birthday week, so you get to continue the celebrations 😁

Happy Birthday Preeti! Hope you've been celebrating in style! 🎉🎂

Aw!! Happy anniversary!

Everyone should know that accessibility is a priority. It baffles me (but sadly doesn't) that most companies don't care.

I read the below article this morning thinking "Maybe optimising for LLMs will make companies care about accessibility."

Woo hoo!!

I'm yet to see proof of that!

Wishing you all the luck in the land! Any agency would be blessed to have you.

Super exciting!! Can't wait to try it out! You talent knows no bounds! 😄

One of my favs too. Although there were so many brilliant children's TV programmes back then.

So Gemini... explain this one to me...
Why, when a website has blocked you, do you crawl all its 404s instead of looking at the knowledge panel and other accessible information linked to the brand entity? 🤔

Perplexity managed fine. Just saying.

Sounds like my typical kinda day!
