Hi! I'm the creator of A/B Rankings, which I've built to make it easy for you to test different approaches to your site's SEO.

I use a small JS script to alter pages on the fly, and track the impact on your site's rankings and traffic by connecting to your Google Search Console account.

You can conduct quick and simple title + description tests to improve click through rates or long tail SEO, or if you're handy with CSS selectors* you can build advanced, multi page tests where you can alter any element on the page.

You could add new content, remove elements, insert semantic markup or tweak canonical tags to test the impact of your strategy before deploying site wide.

I'd love to know what you think :)

* coming soon: a point and click test editor :)

I don't aim to rate billionaires, I wish to point out the stupidity of allowing the internet at large to vote on the $value of any other random individual in the world.

There are huge problems with our media but a large part of those stem from the proprietors, whether huge corporations in the US or billionaire owned such as Fox. It's rarely down to individual journalists

Sure I could add comments, the ability to submit links with references etc but we all know how it would turn out. A complete shitshow of spam, libellous comments and junk. Much like I expect a crowd based site voting on fellow humans who happen to work for media companies.

He was languishing near the bottom, looking young and unhealthy, so I've bumped up his net worth to the most current figure and stuck him to the top :)

Thanks, all dupes have now been merged :)

Thanks! I was supposed to be working today and it's just a piece of fun based on the news so thought I should draw a line under it rather than improving for ever! You're right tho, I misread the dataset - it's year company founded, not boolean yes/ no, will amend now.

It's a reference to Elon Musk wanting to rate journalists for 'credibility' on a site he's going to call Pravda. I agree, stupid choice of name..

For a popular article that will earn a lot of links its also a good strategy to change the title multiple times during its viral phase. Since many people/cm systems link with the title tag it means you get a wider mix of anchor text which can help the article to rank for a more diverse set of key phrases

I think part of the issue is the way FB allows you to use 'dark' posts that are hidden from public view, and also to set up multiple anonymous pages for your ad campaigns.

Together this means you can not only use laser targeted advertising, but show ads to one group you know will appeal, without a second group who would be put off by the message ever being aware of it.

There is also the potential to break rules on election advertising and false claims as the only people to see your ad are the small, well targeted group and an FB reviewer who is checking the ad against their own T&Cs, not the electoral rules of the country the campaign is in.
