@onreact @rustybrick it literally says “any time” in the screenshot….

@onreact @rustybrick I don’t think you set it to “past week”, did you?

@simoncox @fighto I'm bouncing around. Twitter is a sinking ship in my view.

@simoncox no, I think you followed a joke account I made and renamed 😂

I back on Twitter here https://twitter.com/markcandour/

The agency I used to work had a few medical clients. One of our task was to make fake quora profiles and write up fake answers to promote these clients.

For example, somebody asked "What's the best cardiologist in [area name]?"

And we made a fake story like "My grandpa needed to get checked with a cardiologist and we visited (clients name) and they were great"

How is Google going to check the originality of these answers?

I thought about it because Google is showing a lot of UGC sites.

Hey #design and #ux folks 👋 I’m currently searching for things you can’t unsee in Google products: alignment issues, layout problems, visual polish... I wanna see it. 🧑‍🔧

Or if nothing comes to mind, a re-toot for visibility is appreciated 🙏

@optimisey yup! Sure does! 👴🏻

Google shared how they handle multilingual searches and I'm still not amused.

"[...] Google Search considers all these settings and other factors to automatically determine what languages would be most helpful to show results in."

Well, the combination of languages between my devices and browsers is English and Czech. Whenever I make a search in Czech in the UK, 80% of the results are in Polish, 10% in Slovak, and the remaining 10% in Czech.

Not great. 🤷‍♂️😂

Little thread on blackhat link building:

Back in 2020 I wrote about the potential of automated 'link building' from domains by using content/links in PDFs, finding and uploading them to sites that allow their upload folders to be indexed. I got distracted by peoples' bank statements though: https://i83.uk/how-i-accidentally-found-bank-statements-when-link-building/

3 years later, I see this technique being used by BHs now: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22cashapp+cash%22&oq=%22cashapp+cash%22&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIJCAkQABgKGIAE0gEINTcwN2owajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

@simoncox I like that some people get it 😉

There are no guides on this online if someone wants to make one

One of the main differences between Meta and Twitter(X) is that Meta actually have a support team that review suspensions.

@drewscanlon your face has been really useful and I will donate.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

That seems like a low payout for such magnitude?

Someone refused to link to my website because it had the word "death" in the domain and they thought Google would flag their website as adult or something.

I find it really sad that one of the biggest websites on the planet is harvesting my email from LinkedIn comments to send me cold mail about advertising. (That's the only place on the web this email was used)
