Well this is not fun. The only way to add disavow links in Google Search Console is by going to some back door url (not available in the UI): search. google .com/search-console/disavow-links
AND you have to add a version of the property with `https://` AND verify your Google Search Console by URL rather than DNS because otherwise, you'll get this error: Domain properties are not supported at this time.
🤡
Link-spam attacks are real, especially if you're in a competitive industry.
How to fix...
Tell your AI agent to check your referring domains and backlinks to then make a full list and add/create a disavow file on a regular basis.
Got to ride in the CyberCab while in Austin. Such a cool experience and well thought out!
Was my first time riding in a full self driving car so I was a bit taken aback from seeing so many CuberCabs, Waymos and the little boxy cars aka Zoox.
Discovering @FU_joehudson youtube channel has been a huge unlock for me.
Thanks @myfirstmilpod for putting him on my radar!

Had the 2nd best lunch of my year with @codyschneider
We met on X. I said let’s hang. He booked a flight from Idaho.🛬
He showed me how he built his 7-figure company in 8 months on X.
I already do #1 below. It works. Last week: +68,200 impressions. The 10 days before: +10,800.
Here’s his whole system:
1. Remix. He talks about only 3 topics and cuts each one a dozen ways. Same things, over and over.
2. Post 3x a day, every 8 hours. I didn’t want to bug people. Reality: very few of you see each post.
3. Drop the link 1 hour after posting. Drives him thousands of leads a month. I thought links got penalized. X’s own open-source ranking code has no link penalty.
4. Mine old content. Have AI dig through old podcasts and posts for anything worth reusing.
5. Weekly self-interview. AI interviews him about the last 30 days, pulling from his calendar, email and Slack. His answers become posts.
Copy #5. Paste this into Claude with your email and calendar connected:
“Interview me one question at a time about what I did, learned and got wrong in the last 30 days. Check my Slack, email and calendar first. After 10 questions, turn my best answers into 5 posts in my voice.”
Pretty, pretty good. Nice, Cody 👏
Side hustles are a direct consequence of currency debasement.
You have to work twice as hard to buy the same stuff.
