You can make your own chart about air quality here, thank to the EPA: epa.gov/outdoor-air-qu…

#Asheville NC has the best air quality it has had in 20 years.

Ah yes, the power of advertising. Didn't know Amazon was doing tummy tucks. #cosmeticsurgery #marketingfail

Wonder how much visibility into search terms we lost? We went from 98% visibility down to 78%....overnight. This is tens of thousands of queries we would have mined for inefficient spend that we now do not have access to. Who pays for that? Advertisers.

First time I've been able to spot them myself. I think they are rolling out more broadly.

Strava releases a "year in sport" each year, reporting some total numbers from there users. It's interesting pandemic data. For cycling in the USA, in 2019, pre-pandemic, there were 769 million miles ridden by Strava users. In 2020...

In 2020, Strava measured 1.2 billion miles of bike riding in the U.S., a 56% increase in cycling mileage from 2019. Pandemic cycling boom, indeed! blog.strava.com/press/yis2020/ #cycling #pandemic #bikeboom

This a great ad from Apple. Maybe their best ever. #apple #marketing #ads youtube.com/watch?v=8sX9IE… Tip of that to the agency who made this one!

Why AI Will Save The World By Marc Andreessen The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out. Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it. 🧵

I couldn't agree more. This assessment of Google Ads support doesn't go far enough though. As Google strips value from organic, businesses turn to ads. For some, those ads won't run and they are left with a smaller reach and little recourse. searchengineland.com/google-ads-rep…

I'm quoted in this article from Eric Schwartzman: fastcompany.com/91117543/googl… It's a good article about recent turmoil in web traffic, SEO, AI, and Google updates.

#Asheville Since I posted about air quality a few years ago, here's an update using the same EPA data. Asheville had it's best air quality in 2020 thanks to the pandemic, but we still have cleaner air now than in the previous 2 decades.
