A weekly look-back at SEO news, tips, and other content shared on social media & beyond.

Introduction to week 1: The beginning
This page was originally called The Twitter Files Part 1. It was the very first weekly recap of SEO news (then all tweets) that would lead to today’s Hamsterdam recaps.
Sadly, my website was hacked, so I lost a bit of content. Including the original Twitter Files. I’ve recovered as much of it as a could, using the cached version from Google Search.
Here’s how it looked as I was transferring it:
Here’s the original introduction:
“This is the first rendition of The Twitter Files! Hope you enjoy it!
What are The Twitter Files?
If you’re into search engine optimization (SEO), then this is for you!
Just about every day, I log into Twitter and browse tweets about SEO. In the course of an average week, I “like” so many great tweets that it can be easy to forget about some of the SEO news, tips, articles, videos, and other information shared. So, I’m creating a weekly recap to organize some of my favorite SEO tweets for reference.”

But, we march ahead! 🙂
Buckle up for a full week’s recap.
Notes:
- If the article times out on mobile, my apologies. Please try viewing on a desktop or WiFi.
- I’ve cut back on the amount of info I include; if you’d like to see more, scrolling through my likes on X or following the people in this recap is probably the best place to start. 😉
Okay, time for (home)work.
