Graph Quotes

“Google doesn't rank your website. It resolves a triple — your business, is a, plumber — and if nobody outside your own site agrees with that triple, no amount of content on it will save you.”
― Paul Truscott, AEO GEO LLM Seeding AI SEO - Or Whatever The F$ck You Want to Call It

“A Knowledge Panel isn't a reward for being popular. It's Google telling you it's finally confident enough in who you are to say so out loud.”

“A KGMID is Google's way of saying I know exactly which thing you mean — this entity, has the identifier, permanent — and until you've earned one, you're a name the machine is still guessing at.”
― Paul Truscott

“Ontology sounds academic until you realise it's just the reason Google can tell your plumbing business apart from a plumbing supplies shop — same category, different class, and the machine only gets that right if you've told it clearly which one you are.”
― Paul Truscott

“GOD PUNISHES NOT FOR WORLD TO LAUGH,

“We need to design aircraft or automotive displays to counteract visual illusions and we need to design statistical graphics to counteract probability illusions.”

“A parabola opens at a certain direction, allowing for infinitely many points to reside inside the area from which it opens. As a student, I do not like to specialize in a single discipline; specialization seems unfulfilling in my own mind. Hence, the graph of a straight line is not an appropriate analogy to the depths of my curiosity. A line only goes in one direction, and unlike a parabola, a line cannot encase that infinite amount of white space on a coordinate plane—it can only pass through it.

Rather than being like a rigid line, I try to be more open to a wider variety of academic subjects. I do admit—a parabola still opens in a certain direction, and of course, my interests are still skewed toward particular subjects. However, the open curve of the parabola can still encompass infinitely many points as the graph extends, the same way my curiosity can still expand to multiple different subjects. This is why I see myself more in the curvaceous parabola than the rigid line.”
― Lucy Carter, For the Intellect

“Every review you get is a machine handing Google a fact it didn't have to trust on its own — this business, was reviewed by, a real person — and that single triple does more for you than another paragraph on your homepage ever will.”
― paul truscott

“Consensus theory is a fancy name for something obvious once you say it out loud: Google trusts a fact more when three strangers agree on it than when you say it once, confidently, about yourself.”
― Paul Truscott
