Signals are emerging that a parallel decentralised #WordPress community is forming. GoDaddy's $500k investment indicates advocates of the world's most popular CMS aren't prepared to sit back and watch one man's vendetta spoil it for everyone.

Nice post from @ringsidedata following the revelations around #honey stealing commission from influencers and misleading brands. Raised the debate that Last click attribution models are the problem that enable this:

AI Overviews will begin rolling out to everyone today in the US, with more countries coming soon. They provide both a quick overview of a topic and links to learn more. We’ve found that with AI Overviews, people use Search more, and are more satisfied with their results. blog.google/products/search/… #GoogleIO
Playing around with #GoogleSGE this morning ahead of the rumoured launched at #GoogleIO today. I love the way Gemini is rewriting the findings of a cited scientific study to advise milk should come last when making a cup of tea🫖 (which I agree with 😉).

How long does it take to recover Review Rich Results after a domain migration? It varies - but 79 nail-biting days for @salonspy. Little write-up here on how @simon_jthompson and I planned the migration:

This makes me sad @AdobeCommerce, I showed my mum the certificates and everything. I tried getting M2 ones in 2019 but 🦠 cancelled the exams and my request for a refund / new test ignored. End of an era 🫡 – at Stretton-on-Dunsmore, England
Diverse SEO teams make better decisions 66-87% than individuals with no support. I’m biased but I highly value peer review and perspective and I know some great consultants working alone do this within their networks.
