Seeing impressions but no clicks in Google Search Console can mess with your head.

Your page is visible.
People just aren’t choosing it yet.

That usually comes down to titles, descriptions, or intent mismatch — not “bad SEO.”

I broke down what it actually means when Google shows your page but users don’t click, and what you can fix without chasing shortcuts.

It’s my #birthday (yes, and I'll cry if I want to, lol) and the start of #365to50. I’m moving my 30 years of editorial experience from #underground #fanzines and #webpublishing into the technical sphere.

I immensely enjoy #FOSS and #fediverse ideas and philosophy, and while I am still a very #linux #newbie , I'd like to start giving back to the community. I’m looking for #FOSS projects that need high-quality Slovak or Czech localization ( #L10n ).

#Markdown, a simple plain text formatting language created by #JohnGruber in 2004, revolutionised #webpublishing.

What do people use these days as a WYSIWYG web page editor? That application landscape looks completely deserted :(

I have a static webpage for a friend and I don't want to make them have to look at code. contenteditable set to true and save the changed html as a new file would be enough if I could have a way of inserting links.

Might have to develop a little bookmarklet to do the job.
