Was a few months ago that i did this, and nothing has changed. Adding go faster stripes on your car is not going to make any difference to your monthly grocery shopping trip - make sure your car works well and can get your there and back.

Day 1 of 2026 and I just found a key that has been missing for a couple of months. That has to bode well for the new year, surely..?

I don't care what anyone says, a good old manual deep dive into the SERPs always beats any SEO tool when you really mean business.

What really frustrates me is when someone sees firsthand that LLMs are incapable of differentiating between fact and fiction when it comes to a subject they know about, but then they go right ahead and keep on using it!

🌶️🧠 Being "neurospicy" or "care about what others care about" Really enjoyed this talk by Myriam Jessier on unique traits of people with ADHD. Anyone can benefit from it as a way to build empathy and compassion for better relationships with people you care about and work with. 👀 My favourite two snippets: 1. You can't pick just the good parts; you get the full package only. (This mental model is a great fix for jealousy too.) 2. Creating a user manual or blueprint to share context with others on your working style can improve collaboration. Insights that resonated with me: 👉 Stress and anxiety may trigger hyper-focus, but it's an elusive state 👉 Lists don't work → overanalyzing expands 3 bullets to 30 without doing any 👉 Interrupt me, because I can keep talking 👉 Get to the point; I get bored easily, even by my own sentences 👉...

ChatGPT doesn’t have access to Google’s search data. It can’t tell you real search volumes. It can’t analyse actual ranking difficulty. It can’t crawl your website to find technical issues. It can’t show you your competitors’ backlink profiles.

Feeling validated in my thinking around the use of LLMs thanks to @judithlewis.bsky.social You need to check all outputs!! LLMs don't understand language the way humans do. Language is ambiguous so LLMs will always get things wrong as they translate that into maths. #BrightonSEO #MeasureFest
