Yes, this is correct
(leave off the ‘m’)

i think our Facebook numbers
may affect our revenue

this is great! But I need to
see revenue represented by
comparable amounts of tequila,
because I just got back from my
vacation.

also, can you include
hits? I'm used to looking at
hits, not visits. And the boss
likes revenue reported by
lunar month...

"Advanced" SEO is a phrase that gets thrown around, but we rarely practice truly advanced tactics. Advanced SEO isn't rel canonical or nofollow. Real advanced SEO cuts through abstraction. It doesn't add layers of stuff to hide SEO problems. It fixes them. This is Ian Lurie's slide deck from Digital Summit 2019. Don't let the length scare you. It's packed with links, tips, and step-by-step to-dos.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.
