Hi Kevin,

Some of your old articles are lost in migration process. Are you planning to repost them on your substack?

I am asking as on one of your podcasts you mention that just writing good content isn't enough and we need to measure it. And your post "How the best companies measure content" is missing.

What's your opinion on doing things just if it's known whether Google likes it? I really cannot hear the discussions about having author profiles anymore. Knowing who wrote an article and being able to check believability,etc. is never a bad thing.

Or EEAT as a concept. What's not to like about a framework that tries to emphasize Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness? :D

Reply via a comment here or message you? I would love to come to Eindhoven! :)

That was probably a boomer comment. I always read stuff on the web vs. in my inbox. Probably a vast amount of people already replied to the mail you sent out. 😂

Not a boomer comment and you're first to comment, so I'll send you the ticket!

I agree about doing things no matter whether Google likes them or not. I advocate for both: do things you know Google likes and do things you don't know Google likes but users like. Now, I sound like a Google spokesperson :).

That's unexpected, thank you so much!

Looking forward to see your talk and have a chat with a "Google spokesperson" :D

What would you say?

Would love to chat more with Google spokespeople :). I hope they're not offended by me criticism and challenging.

I meant you (because of your last sentence), that's why I had it in quotes. :D

You are far from being too critical – atleast that's what I think about the stuff you publish.
