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. searchenginejournal.com/word…

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: ringside.ai/articles/worryin…

Whilst we mourn the #Twitter bird, UK wildlife is in crisis. 38 million birds have vanished from our skies in the last 50 years. But there is hope. Together, we can bring our world back to life.

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 😉). #SEO #SGE #GenerativeAI

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. #SearchLove via @chameleon_jrnl
