TIL I'm in the first 1% of ChatGPT users, and the top 1% of msgs sent. AI isn't a shortcut; it’s a Matrix(movie)-like efficiency gain. If you're not using it every single day, you shouldn't be talking about how it'll impact the SEO industry.

Circa ’24–’25 felt like a decade packed into a year. Logging off today, I saw the email that Piper’s ashes were finally sent off to sea, almost a year after losing Gator, my first dog after college, adopted the same year my mom passed in ’11. Dogs heal us in ways nothing else can. Hug yours for me ♥️

After the very rancorous online debate, it looks like housefresh.com more than made their recovery post-HCU decimation. I wonder how much is: -> Algo updates -> Manual intervention (it was very public) -> Equity earned *because* of the loss (links/brand searches) -> Things they changed
A line graph from Ahrefs shows the organic search performance of a website. The graph covers the period from February 2021 to October 2025. It plots two lines: one for referring domains (blue line) and one for average organic traffic (orange line).

The referring domains line shows a steady increase from around 0 to just over 6,000. The average organic traffic line remains relatively flat at a low level until late 2024, at which point it begins to climb dramatically, reaching over 240,000 by October 2025. The orange line's steep, upward trend indicates a significant and rapid growth in organic traffic.

Sometimes I wish Bluesky had longer characters like LinkedIn. Alas: Vibe coding is the future of web development, imho. Read my latest PSA and marketing guide that just went live on @searchengineland.bsky.social searchengineland.com/vibe-coding-...
Image of text from Kelsey Libert's LinkedIn post, reading: 

I spent the last month making the best career investment: I learned Cursor through late-night mentorship from Kristin Tynski, my Fractl Co-Founder and AI extraordinaire. 

If I had this tool a decade ago, I could've built Jeff Libert's portfolio of 5k domains with the skills of a junior developer and copywriting extraordinaire in my back pocket. This technology is a dream come true for skilled marketers. 

Over a few weeks (of learning, trial & error, and concerted effort), I worked in one interface alongside numerous models to write and code 30 landing pages for Fractl Agents. For each Agent, I applied my marketing knowledge and prompt engineering skills to "collaboratively build" landing pages that clearly explained what each Agent does, why it’s valuable, how it works, and how it can be used across multiple personas. 

I'd love to pour more time into refining these pages with Cursor (because it's so easy, fun, and high-impact), but what we produced was already well beyond what I'd expect from an effective marketing team. Plus, I have a dozen other goals to achieve before heading to Boston to present my latest "AI in marketing" research at hashtag#SMXAdvanced in 22 business days! 

TL;DR: If you read one post in May, I hope it's my newly minted Search Engine Land column: a beginner's guide to "vibe coding." This is the future of web development, IMHO.
