SEOs can be *really good at SEO,* but not really good at SEO for *all types of sites.* There is so much specific subject matter expertise within the field and different types of sites require totally different strategies. One of many reasons I love working on a big SEO team.

Somewhat ironic that SEOs were all into using AI to mass produce content, now that Google and Bing announce their AI content efforts, it is unfair. I like to just sit back and watch...

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. And what it means for Google’s quality raters. – at Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina
It’s funny how everyone wants to use AI to write content but at the same time no one wants to read content written by AI.

I still think about them both all the time. I hope they are never forgotten by the SEO industry. They gave us so much. 💔 – at Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Respect to two SEO legends. Both @bill_slawski and @hamletbatista were innovators and trailblazers in the SEO industry. Can anyone guess the insights they would've have had about ChatGPT? Imagine the mind-blowing use cases from Hamlet, the eye-opening patents from Bill.

Great, now I have to tell people there's a thing called "SpamBrain" and hope that they continue to take my job seriously

As Head of #SEO I see my job as... 1. To make sure the whole team are happy. 2. To give the team what they need to efficiently do their job. 3. To support, train and mentor the team unconditionally. 4. To allow them to think for themselves. 5. To smash the business SEO goals.

Hey remember all those times that I rambled like a mad human about the power of data and how digital impact real people? Here's a thread of resources and TL;DRs about data brokering and the Supreme Court's draft to overturn Roe v Wade.

I am scared of people who are too much into SEO and learning just from people who post about SEO. I admire people who read about computer science, cloud computing, NLP, ML, knowledge engineering and computer vision. #bevisionary

If something is 'great for SEO' but not good for business it's also bad for SEO.

Fixing internal links to not rely on redirects isn't a sexy "SEO strategy" but it's worth the time.
