So annoying when your Zoom meetings are limited in time--like 30 minutes. I've gone to a paid Zoom workspace account that doesn't have that restriction.

What Happens If the AI Bubble Bursts? The Q3 Numbers Offer Clues
The AI bubble did not burst this fall. The bill came due instead. In the last week of October, Alphabet fell more than 10 percent after reporting negative free cash flow of $9.07 billion and its first revenue and earnings miss in nearly four years. Amazon spent $77.3 billion on capital equipment in a single quarter, and its free cash flow over the past 12 months swung to negative $42.4 billion.
That is the shape of the risk now. The revenue is real. Google Cloud more than doubled to $30.7 billion in the quarter, and Amazon Web Services grew 39 percent. The problem is that spending is growing faster than the cash it throws off, and the biggest companies in the market are borrowing to keep up. Alphabet’s long-term debt rose to $125.1 billion from $21.6 billion a year earlier.

What do you call it when you've just made a massive number of changes to a website, you're convinced they're going to make a huge difference, and now you're just waiting for Google to crawl everything?
SEO suspense?
Google limbo?
The crawl-and-pray phase?
Asking for a friend who's checking @googleanalytics every 15 minutes.

After seeing the election results and some of the conversations happening on social media today, I think you need to read my book.
If you've ever wondered whether to speak up about a controversial issue, worried about how your opinions might affect your business or reputation, where you stand in an increasingly divided world, The Unofficial Ballot: Trust, Risk, and Taking Sides in a Divided Era is for you.
I wrote this book to help you think through those decisions before you make them, consider different perspectives, and understand the consequences of taking a stand or staying silent.
Don't just react to what's happening. Make a deliberate decision about where you stand.
📚 Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and bookstores worldwide.

Bot traffic is pretty insane right now for this particular site (new pages/content launched late last week).
I've seen it as high as 4k visits (active users in last 30 mins) today.
What are you doing to filter out the bots in @googleanalytics?

If you think GEO is a distraction, this is really going to upset you. Google's filling AI answers with ads to fix slowing search revenue, and organic now competes with those ads for the same few spots. duaneforresterdecodes.substack.com/p/google-searc…

My friend Ash shared a photo of this sign. It may not be a misspelling or misuse of the word “you’re”, they’re doing it on purpose.
It’s actually a trick. Those who respond to that sign/ad don’t know any better, and aren’t as educated as you and me. So they’re more likely to ke oil type of “seo” they’re selling.

We just added an alert system to GoodSeats.com. You can now be notified immediately when new dates are added to a particular artist or performer.
For example, right now there's only 1 date upcoming for Aerosmith: goodseats.com/performers/aer…
You can set up an alert to be notified when new concerts are added.

Crystal Carter (@CrystalontheWeb) explains that LLMs surface content from across the entire web, not just your site, making a strong omnichannel presence essential for AI visibility and helping identify gaps in how your brand appears online.

David Iwanow (@davidiwanow) believes that Video works best for complex, visual tasks where seeing beats reading, and explains that platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram have an enormous appeal for this kind of practical, demonstrative content.
