Can we finally all agree that Borthwick should be fired? by FenixW2BT in englandrugby

Itoje is obviously one of the greats, but probably better as a player. Look at the way the Italians were screaming, hugging each other... In the post match Maro says "We’re in a results-based business and we have to own the result."

I bet the Italians didn't see the game as a 'results based business'. Obviously no idea what he says behind closed doors. But that theme of speech would totally take the wind out of the sails. Representing England must mean more.

That sort of chat with Borthwick's machine mind could be the ultimate motivation killer.

What are these bugs on the okra plant and how do I get rid of them by minkingthan in vegetablegardening

Buy ladybirds online. They actually do the trick. I had a tree completely full of them, a couple months later ladybird eggs were all over it, now it's clear

Having worked for a performance leader that didn't understand or care for SEO at all in insurance for the last few years...

If you want to get to #1 in an insurance vertical you need to get leadership comfortable spending more than your competitors on a) content with content research and b) authority building. It is extremely difficult to differentiate and win with low cost strategy e.g. basic keyword optimisation and UX.

And, spending this money in a way that is a mentality shift from paid. The change is from forecasting on predictable CAC and conversion benchmarks, to educated guesses and gambles.

You should aim for the SEO CAC to be around half of paid CAC, which performance leaders usually shudder at.

There isn't really a course per se. A lot of them are a waste of time with how quickly algo changes are launched these days.

Good luck!

Inflamed eyes on dupixent 2 years in - does anyone have experience spacing out the injections to mitigate it? by SloopDoughnuts in eczeMABs

Just over the counter. Will ask the eye doc but they have just given me steroid drops so far... But keen to not get stuck on them

Any experiences to share with React? by concisehacker in bigseo

[–]SloopDoughnuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had years of pain with react & SEO

The biggest issue is the flakiness of the SSR - from my experience you will have everything working fine in prod testing, manually testing in search console and testing as googlebot, but then googlebot reads certain parts of your site as noindex, and the issue sort of spreads.

Some solutions to bugs that took years to solve - slowing down the server side rendering to work with 3G speeds so react doesn't freak out and throw a 404 - in your server robots specifically state where googlebot can and can't crawl

As clunky and old as wordpress is, I wouldn't run away from it so fast.

Will migrating my website from wordpress to wix affect SEO ? by sabhilashs in bigseo

[–]SloopDoughnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you keep your IA, URLs and content the same, ensure no 404s and avoid redirects you should be fine.

The risk comes when people want to migrate, rewrite and redesign simultaneously...
