ohgm

Please do my job for me.

This is a tip from my talk at the last ohgmcon which allows you to roll your own private indexing service on a domain you don't care about so you can use the indexing API for any page on the internet without getting burned.

This blog post is about a spam technique whereby a page with zero authority can appear for a high volume search term by hijacking part of a brand's local snippet.

This benefits no-one.

This post is the spiritual successor to How to Fetch and Render (almost) Any Site, a blog post I did not write but wish I had.

This is a rant about the industry that has kicked around in drafts for over a year. I hope there is something positive you can glean from it.
