Hi @johnmu.com, could I pass along some feedback to the GSC team?

There are several cases that are not mutually exclusive, which they should.

Google sheets is always behind Excel, the same way that Word is behind Google docs.

Being a google suite heavy users makes it quite annoying to work on a company that is heavy on the office suite 😤

Finally they added purchase dates in the new GoogleFinance platform!

im still annoyed that I need to use the genAI chat to manage it

A short PSA:
=> SEOs, dont believe everything you see on your browser, Bots can see things you dont!

Reddit robots.txt is a prime example of it:
- On a browser, all disallowed. SEOs are panicking!
+For a search bot (like google), oh magic it is a properly optimised robots.txt

God i cannot get used to how loud people are when typing at the office, or even worse in meetings!

Doing very little, over the years, i got to have 5k followers on linkedin!

This number really baffles me, as I have never done much to actually grow it
August 11, 2026 at 11:42 PM
Yesterday I posted on linkedin, and it was doing normal numbers until a like (JUST A LIKE) from the very best @lilyray.nyc made it skyrocket.

First time seeing this happen first hand, Im mind blown!

I got at least 50 connection requests, how insane is the power of just one like!

The MS Clarity tracking code, the function input variables form the name clarity.

God, why cannot I use this attention to detial on other more important stuff!?😅

Goddamn, I envy the simplicity and clarity that @zyppy.com has when writing articles.

This is a great piece on SEO&AEO, that the overlap is quite significant, including what lever we all have on each case.

After 10 yrs with the same profile pic, it was definitely due for a new one. Maybe I'll turn this into a thing of updating it every 10yrs?

I had an amazing time at #generateSummit!

It seems like B2B people are not used to being shown what is a good way of doing Seo as someone msged saying my take about *the basics of Seo* was a refreshing take!

Over a year ago, I decided to dissect how Googlebot works. I got distracted, and it was never published. Time to publish my theories about Googlebot. bigcommerce.websiteadvantage.com.au/tonys-theory...

This epic quest was started years ago when I was trying to understand why a JavaScript widget was not being picked up by Google. After many experiments and rabbit holes, I came up with some theories.

Hi @johnmu.com, im hoping you can help me clear out a question about impressions on GSC: AIO and traditional search

In this screenshot, the same page is shown twice, is that two impressions?
Im asking because in GSC AI impressions for that url are higher than the traditional search

So much complaining about europe vs americas in the FIFA world cup, we latinos have always had at least one team in the quarter finals in the last 10 world cups

And there were on average more EU teams every single time. How whiny they are!

One of the few silliest things that bring me a lot of joy is the redirection of googlebot.com to its documentation.

Since I discovered that years ago, I cannot get to that documentation any other way

Im working on a slidedeck about SEO and AI, and today im a bit.. I dont know.. Combative?

I came across the Cloudflare Radar data explorer shared by the amazing @tamethebots.com

Oh, what a beauty to see these numbers about much much each web crawler is doing in the web.

The dominance of Google should not be as much disputed as it currently is with all the LLMs growth.
