Some of my Twitter followers talk to me a lot
I love my Twitter followers (although I hate the term ‘followers’). They’re so helpful and friendly and giving. And I have some brilliant conversations with them.

The Victorian bushfires have been a terrible, terrible tragedy. More than 180 dead. Entire families lost. Towns absolutely devastated. Children gone. Parents gone. It’s heart-breaking.
I’m a parent. I can’t conceive of losing my kids or of them suffering so badly.
So I’m donating all proceeds from sales of my SEO ebook, from now until midnight on [...]

“What’s more”, “Nevertheless”, “Of course”, “Needless to say”… Why do some reviewers think these devices are too informal for sentence-starters? Oh, and let’s not forget “Importantly”, “Just as importantly”, “Additionally” and “Furthermore”!

I swore I wouldn’t write this post. But I couldn’t help myself. There’s just too much misinformation going around about the virtues of long copy over short (and, of course, of short copy over long).

Google’s current dependence on link popularity inherently favors hub sites. Will future algorithms be any more equitable, or will sites with a relatively small search presence be forever fighting an up-hill battle?
