Does Being Internet Famous Help Get SEO Support From Google?
I spotted this thread on Mastodon where both John Mueller and Danny Sullivan of Google was helping internet legend Tim Bray with some SEO issues he was having with Google Search. Yes, he got two Googlers helping him, which is rare, but has happened before.
Tim Bray is famous, well, internet famous, he has a Wikipedia entry that reads, “Timothy William Bray (born June 21, 1955) is a Canadian software developer, environmentalist, political activist and one of the co-authors of the original XML specification. He worked for Amazon Web Services from December 2014 until May 2020 when he quit due to concerns over the terminating of whistleblowers. Previously he has been employed by Google, Sun Microsystems and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Bray has also founded or co-founded several start-ups such as Antarctica Systems.”
I have reported before that Google is losing its memory – see https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2018/01/15/Google-is-losing-its-memory
