Mark Williams-Cook's Linkedin Analytics

"What? LGBT? SEO? 🤮 Mark took the wrong turn" This is what Andrey Simagin, the CEO of SiteAnalyzer decides to comment after I shared my friend Sam's wonderful, personal and data-filled post about being an LGBTQ+ person in digital today. 📣📣📣 Allow me to be as clear as possible so there is no confusion here: If you have such a problem with the LGBTQ+ community, then please; 👋 Disconnect with me, block me, don't talk to me. 👋 I don't want to be your friend or professional acquaintance. 👋 If you're an AlsoAsked customer, let me know - I'll make it easy and refund you so you can go away. The rest of you, LET'S TURN IT AROUND ❤️❤️❤️ ⤵️ Go and show Sam Bettis some love: she is super smart and one of those people that I ✨wish✨ would be more active on social media, but she has a track record of running into absolute dickheads. I can't help but feel a little judgement about companies working with people that are overtly like this, especially ones I look up to like DuckDuckGo. It's disappointing to see 276 mutuals as well, I'm sure many of them don't know... I will be watching that number 👀

Unsolicited #SEO tip: Here is what I believe to be a complete list of the 674 query parameters accepted by Google dug up from source code. 📃 Why? Because having some exposure and understanding how systems work can give you "eureka!" moments about the bigger picture when you are making your own observations about outputs. I have annotated some of the more obvious ones, but if you recognise a query parameter that I haven't listed, leave an explanation in the comments and I will update and credit you 😎 Google Query Parameters: https://lnkd.in/eT7YZvYb If you like updates like these and don't want to rely on the algo to serve them to you, we curate and send them out weekly on our free SEO newsletter called "Core Updates", along with tl;dr SEO news and a deep dive podcast. 💌 Join 10,000+ other SEOs at https://coreupdates.com (I am testing posting link in the post after Nikki Pilkington's advice again 😁 )

Unsolicited #SEO tip: contextual_porky_pig answer was a boolean parameter we discovered in the Google exploit we reported last year, but what is it? 🤔 With such a silly name, it always baffled me, and I would joke about it on stage - but the new DOJ documents have revealed it is a feature that if someone for instance Google's some facts about the relation of a famous person, the Knowledge Graph will supply traditional search with the name of the person. Mystery solved! 🔍
