Today Kevin Indig releases data on how users interact with AIO and I spoke to him last week about this for a special edition of IMHO.
“Just because users don’t click doesn’t mean visibility in AIO is meaningless, it still shapes decisions.” Kevin Indig, IMHO

Little tip - You can compare crawls of staging to a live website by using 'URL Mapping' in crawl comparison.
Equivalent URLs are then compared against each other to identify changes and issues between the crawls.

An infographic titled "When caching goes wrong" illustrates an incorrect caching behavior in a server.
First scenario:
A user requests a non-existent URL.
The server responds with "404! Doesn’t exist, friend!"
The server mistakenly caches this response.
Second scenario:
The same user requests the same URL again.
The server now incorrectly responds with "200! I have a cached copy of that page" instead of another 404.
The server serves a cached page that says "404 Not Found," misleadingly implying the page exists when it doesn't.
This diagram humorously highlights a caching issue where a server incorrectly caches and serves "404 Not Found" pages as valid responses.
Third time I have encountered a site that caches requests to 404 pages, then on the next request to the same URL returns a 200 and serves the cached error page 😂
@sitebulb.com being cool and adding in a double-404-check thing to catch these!

Marketing KPIs in 2015 vs. 2025: Traffic is just a "Vanity Metric" now
YouTube video by Rand Fishkin
2015: Traffic was our primary marketing KPI.
2025: Traffic is a vanity metric.
How we measure marketing has to change because how platforms hoard vs. send out traffic has changed. IMO, this is the new path 👇

Googlebot Slowdown Alert! 🚨 Many websites are experiencing massive server response times for Googlebot (up to 9000ms ☠️), causing crawl activity to drop. The likely reason? Google updated their IP addresses for crawling on Feb 4th 2025, but a few CDNs haven't caught up yet. 👇🏼

There's something only great marketers do. But there's no agreed-upon standard for doing it.
It's audience research.
And very likely, they're doing this without really knowing what it is. Studying and getting to know their audience is just part of their DNA.
In this long overdue guide…

Traffic Is Down; Revenue Is... Up? - SparkToro
It's weird times in the digital marketing universe. For decades, traffic and sales went together like peanut butter and jelly, cacio and pepe, palak and
Traffic goes down.
C-suite panics.
Managers lose their cool.
"WTF are you marketers doing?!"
"Our jobs."
Because marketing in 2025 isn't about getting clicks. It's about influencing the right people in the right places.
