SEO, ECOMM & CONTENT TIPS,

https://www.entrepreneur.com/building-a-business/why-online-reviews-are-now-your-most-valuable-seo-asset

When a business writes content, it's writing about itself: talking up the highs and talking down the lows of any good or service.

A third-party talking up a business goes a loooooong way plus Google and AI crawlers love that stuff.

Online reviews have always influenced buying decisions, but they now play a direct role in how AI-powered search engines rank and recommend businesses.

I wrote product descriptions for giant door switches. The kind of actuators that open the giant overhead doors at car repair shops and stuff like that.

The BEST™ lock is kind of a cool invention story.

Business and publishers' traffic -- a good share anyway -- gets scarfed up by AI overviews so the strategy for content has been changing. That's just part of the gig.

However,

I was surprised to see that 30% of respondents don't read Google AI overviews.

when was a LinkedIn post actually shared?

here's the formula for how to get the exact time that a LinkedIn post was shared: copy it from the embed URL and ask ChatGPT

but just in case, here's what it said

For your number:

7423962807668285440

Use this formula:

timestamp_ms = floor(LinkedIn_ID / 2^22)

Since:

2^22 = 4,194,304

Then:

7423962807668285440 / 4,194,304
= 1,770,010,663,907.119...

Drop the decimal:

timestamp_ms = 1,770,010,663,907

That means:

1,770,010,663,907 milliseconds after Jan. 1, 1970 UTC

Convert milliseconds to seconds:

1,770,010,663,907 / 1000
= 1,770,010,663.907 seconds

That converts to:

February 2, 2026 at 5:37:43.907 AM UTC

For Eastern Time on that date:

February 2, 2026 at 12:37:43.907 AM EST

The short version of the math:

LinkedIn ID ÷ 4,194,304 = Unix timestamp in milliseconds
Unix timestamp in milliseconds ÷ 1000 = Unix timestamp in seconds
Convert Unix timestamp to date/time

*Businesses are their to make money so you need to do that for the business.*

It's the only reason they exist.

People need fulfillment and purpose, businesses don't.

People work for a business, not for other people. It is that simple.

You are replaceable. It is cynical and sounds jaded, but businesses will unload you to raise their bottom line by 0.05%. Why? The most honest and charitable response a businessperson who wishes to continue in their own job will tell you "it's just business." (If you work for a non-profit or in the public sector, substitute "business" for "results.")

The company in this article launches small, cylindrical modules into orbit.

The lesser gravity produces cleaner crystal formation than what's usually found here on earth.

These crystals have a host biomedical uses. Cool, huh?

Varda Space Industries will occupy a former Mattel facility in El Segundo, giving it additional capacity to manufacture spacecraft at scale.
