Smartest SEO
I'm aiming to show up ahead of 14,600,000 other results on page one of Google for "Smartest SEO." Made a post on social media the other week about ideas I've had to try and rank for as a case study. Most of the ideas were funny, like "sexiest SEO." But that didn't...

Is Google AI Algorithm Punishment Here?
Hey, AI content users. Ready for a 40% decrease in visibility? Probably more? 📉 It's me, Damon. You know, the SEO that you love to hate, because I say what's right, not what sells. That's been warning about leaning too heavily into AI content. That's been preaching...
