One out of maybe 12 that I had to report … it does not reflect well on the #SEO industry and #Semrush. It does reflect very well on Medium, which took down misinformation posts very quickly.
@atomicpoet I was getting his email for a while as he declared his candidacy but didnʼt have a site up. I owned jackyanformayor.org so I referred it to his site once he did. So just him and me, which was a heck of a coincidence.
Itʼs the whole Google SEO jackyan thing which has been disturbing. It looks like #Semrush is either giving bogus data or has bought in bogus data. Either way, not a good look for a publicly listed company.
When people start thinking I instigated this, itʼs damaging.
Here is the natural consequence of #Semrush inspiring all that #misinformation: people attacking me on #Reddit. This is one reason I fought to get this crap off the web.
Iʼve sent a press release detailing the misinformation Iʼve had to combat for the last four months to Search Engine Journal and Search Engine Land, including what was discovered with #Semrush. Neither publication has run it. Considering Semrush has 10 million users, youʼd think theyʼd want their users to know about a possible flaw. But, as I discovered with Facebook, the tech press will cover up this stuff unless you can find a journalist who cares.
