I will, and just to prove it’s mine have a copy of SEO in 2026 in the background!
Interesting data from Bing. Here is a site - classic search traffic dwindling away and yet it's being picked up in a lot of citations and that appears to be increasing recently. If you are not using Bing Webmaster tools then get on them asap. #ontheseotools #seo
Small update to my OKF experiment - 442 visits to the markdown pages and Meta of course if the greedy one. www.simoncox.com/post/2026-06...
Tut tut, Boots The Chemist. If I am going to keep receiving markeing email, that I don't remember agreeing to receive, for the next 28 days while your systems wait for the next batch of coal to power them, I am very, very likley to mark them as spam, as are others. Not a great tactic. Think again.
Here is a screenshot of the JSON of the Andy Burnham Mayor of a Town story...
Two power cuts this morning- hopefully back on permanently now. Meanwhile I labelled up our fine spray bottles - don’t wan’t to be mixing these up! These are great for spraying yourself in hot weather.
i just spotted to the South East on the horizon is a spectacular thunder storm. I checked my lightning app and I can see it a huge storm stretching from Amiens to Lille in France - 140 miles away across the Channel! #weather #lightning #france
Loving the new types of queries my site is getting impressions for. This query returns nothing for a web seach but for an AI, Gemini, search returns "-1" – which I am struggling to work out why it's in any way useful! But it must be as there are 28 impressions for it, even with the typo. #seo
This weeks sourdough. Not quite the rise I was hoping for but not a bad taste for a left over mix of flours! #seobread #sourdough #yeastmasters
Ooooh. Thank you @semrushofficial.bsky.social *Other SAAS platforms are available, but they need to send me swag.
Just knocked up a couple of sourdough baguettes - not perfect by a long way, but there will be ham, cheese and Dijon mustard in there tomorrow. #yeastmasters #seobread
Was there an #SEO tipping point over the last week? SEOtesting.com sends me reports of new queries found in GSC and they have gone a bit bonkers. So a very timely post by the highly respected Suganthan Mohanadasan just dropped and it's worth a read! suganthan.com/blog/how-to-...
Despite the 30º heat I baked yesterday. What was I thinking! I had a bag of eikhorn flour that i wanted to try but had forgotten. Turns out you don't need as much water or proofing, it's sticky and I had to use a tin to get some shape. Very crumbly, has little gluten, and tastes really good!
Well as at 23:20 Wes Streetings new website wesforleader.com is now redirecting to wesstreeting.org so either he didn't build it and his team got it shut down or Andy Burnham stood up. So, no more of these graphics. (Luckily i made some earlier.)
So looks like Wes is about to bid for the leadership. His site is locked down, except this page where you can create graphics for the socials. www.wesforleader.com/endorse/succ...
Listening to @dr-pete.bsky.social give the keynote at #brightonseo wearing a fabulous tee-shirt!
