This may not make sense to many, but with a little API tomfoolery I can generate 600 images across nearly 200 countries for a site I built in a few hours.

It's been a while since i pissed about with vibe coding, I've just revisited a few. You could slap me round the face with a wet kitten and called me Susan in comparison to last year. There is a fundamental coding change. I've built things tonight in a few hours that would've taken me 3 days.

Hi, hello. I've been through a thing, still not through it, never will be. But i'm learning to walk alongside it. Something as impersonable as this place, may help. I have no idea. The bits that hold me together are SEO. For the past 21 years. So i'll try my best to start here.

Wishing you all a chilled one, if you have an outlaw visiting, i wish you strength. This'll be the first time in 36 years where me & the mrs are not waking up with kids. They've all flown the nest. I might just wake the mrs up at 5am to go downstairs like an excited kid. Just to keep it going.

To this very day, after 25 years in online search marketing, i remind myself that the smarter people than me (real biz owners), have no idea of how to create a LinkedIn account. So HTF are they supposed to understand how search works?

Added more functionality to manflu.app. You can now ask questions to check whether you're really about to pop your clogs; it will generate an answer (in 7 languages) and automatically post it to @manflu.app Automated varied internal links for different languages are a fun puzzle.

We're new around here. This is an automated ManFlu bot created by @devs.uk It's just a bit of light-hearted fun; the app itself provides fun, supportive content for this devastating, life-threatening condition. Currently available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese.

I foresaw the AI/LLM slow picking at everything we've built, as SEOs, as content creators. There's two things it still can't do (despite easier automation).

Fun (painful) SEO fact. I oversaw the (unsuccessful) migration of a very popular travel brand that was aquired by a well known financial (pay later) brand. From the outset, myself & others I worked with, said it was a very bad idea. The result? The original brand died.

I may have tapped into an SEO monster. Something that satisfies the LLM listicle, and equally user intent. Reply with "SEO is NOT dead", for a link to an invoice for £120,000 English pounds*. Once paid, i'll share an Elmo GIF. *You're not getting the strategy though.

The absolute race to AI dominance & dessimation of small niche sites is the snake that eats itself. The web has a finite amount of information. All the major AI players have consumed it all. The Reddit agreement comes into focus with much more clarity. Github, OpenCrawl & more, mere conduits.

If your approach to SEO is a band aid, a retrospective, or algorithm reverse engineering approach. You're already years behind. Test. Get out there and f%£#ing test.

Google's ranking pipeline is sequential: initial scoring with T* (relevance) and Q* (trust), followed by a large-scale re-ranking based on user behavior via Navboost.

I downgraded ChatGPT a few months ago (£30), to get back in is now double. Nice one. It'll likely be cheaper to build a thing with the OpenAI API than it is to ask a question. So i'll do that instead. It'll cost me pence versus the scaled extortion.

It's been an interesting year for vibe coding (I don't care if you like the term). From context window recognition to definitive prompting. While first prompt hits can produce results, involved development can chew tokens quickly. After 48 projects (not the ones I got bored with) It's a toddler

Also useful if you do upload individual XML Sitemaps to see index coverage for that set of URLs though, but not absolutely necessary if you use a tool like seogets.com But that wasn't the question posed, but it should be highlighted.
