Does Google index AI content? We ran 5,498 pages through @pangram's AI detector.
• 2 in 3 pages were written by AI
• Google indexed them as often as human pages (69% vs 69%)

Build in public was fun.
Now let's normalize destroying in public.
Episode #1 of a mini series: Sunsetting PlaceLinkr, a Chrome extension that nobody installed.
It quietly cost me a server every month for nothing.
Turns out the hardest part isn't launching, it's deleting.

I'm tired of successful entrepreneurs selling "the blueprint".
If there really was a blueprint that anyone could follow, it would stop working the moment everyone followed it.

Now comes the survivor bias.
You hear from the people who made it.
You don't hear from the thousands who followed the exact same advice and got nowhere.

Working on a new SaaS. Not an SEO tool this time, but a service for any founder.
Who can guess what Burnwiser does just from the name?
Deploying in a couple of days.

🚀 New IndexCheckr Chrome extension
chromewebstore.google.com/de…
3 modes, one click away:
• Page — Check the page you’re on
• Links — Extract all outbound links and check them
• Bulk — Paste a list of URLs and analyze them in batch
Just recorded my first podcast 🎙️
I joined the Niche Pursuits Podcast to talk about bootstrapping 3 SEO SaaS, what worked (and didn’t), and where SEO might be heading.
Fun experience, thanks @JaredBauman

The thing with serial entrepreneurs shipping product after product is that they already have an audience, usually earned from a first win.
That makes validation fast.
For the rest of us, every product starts with a promotion grind.
