If you're conflicted and just want to be sure, it's totally fine to set up & use disavow files. If you notice that the bulk of the problems are from a few TLDs, you can also disavow the whole TLD. The disavow file is a tool, not a religion :-). Most sites don't need it, but that's not all sites.

I just open so many tabs that they're basically just round dots.

It's endometriosis awareness month.
Here are some illustrations, from Cécile Dormeau, that explains how it affects people in too many ways of the daily life, not just during periods.

If you're looking into buying GEO / AEO services, read this first.

Yeah, I get it :). Philosophically it just strikes me weird that it's sometimes easier to sell accessibility for bots than accessibility for humans, but I guess there are currently more bot-requests that need accessibility than humans? Oh well :))

Or - maybe just don't annoy users with forced conditional redirects either :-).

By Zack Davisson

Hey! You seen on the news of evacuation orders for Americans whose vacation was suddenly disrupted by a little war as a treat? Well, it happened to me too.

Gather round for story time! Destination, EGYPT!!!

Ich habe leider keinen konkreten Zeitraum dafuer -- das haengt immer ein bisschen von den Testergebnissen ab.

One thing that will throw "tests" like this off is that there are a number of sites out there that link to all known llms txt files, so over time they'll just get crawled and used like any other text file you might have. A self linked cats.txt can be just as effective.

Andere Sprachen & Laender kommen nach & nach. Oft in solchen Updates wird das nicht einzeln mit Start- & Schlussdatum ausgeschrieben. Fuer groessere & neue Funktionalitaet ("Magic-Mode kommt nach Deutschland") ist das etwas anders, aber fuer normale Daten-Updates machen wir das meistens nicht.

The "300k" refers to pixel count, which should be a reasonable low bar.

Nothing like deadlines to get you to get things done.

(Sometimes even the thing associated with the deadline, but anyway :-))
