  Whenever you try to get an answer to something like “What movie was the Be Like Water line from” and you can NOT find anything other than a bunch of articles with tons of paragraphs wasting your time - that’s the SEO spam tactics. Those articles chose words that made themselves easier to be indexed by Google, but don’t actually want to answer that question.

  And yes. I literally looked this up this week.

  I still don’t fucking know if it came from Enter the Dragon or some other short series. I just gave up.

    “Be like water” is from a Bruce Lee interview m.youtube.com/watch?v=cJMwBwFj5nQ not a movie.

      Here is an alternative Piped link(s): piped.video/watch?v=cJMwBwFj5nQ

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

  Basically all the crap on a recipe page before the actual recipe… Except there is no recipe.

  Tactics to get more visible to the search engines. Optimizing the website to the search engines.

  It’s something we all must do to make a nice, visited websites. It’s also something that spammers got so good that literally everything you search is basically ¾ ads at this point.

  One where they optimise their article and site according to how google algorithm works, and then multiply by 10. Or they use your search term to link it to their own search function.
