For fun: Out of work -> I love FOSS programming, creating websites for friends, and doing fun automations with local fine-tuned models (Qwopus, commit-based datasets with Unsloth, etc.)
Hey Vladimir L. šchecked out vandbruno.net, solid work also with the client websites as well Noticed a few things though, one of the blog URLs was serving the homepage content when crawled instead of the article itself and when checking through LLMs, there was no sight of your work, showing that you're missing out big time on authority. Best to check that out if you plan to keep this on top āļø
Hi Moiz A. Thank you for the kind words. Are we talking about FOUC, wrong <meta> tags, or specifically a slug that shows the homepage? I've checked everywhere myself, and even ran a check using Claude, Qwopus, & GPT. I couldn't find anything matching what you described. Care to share the page you're referring to?
As for the LLM visibility/content feeders: one thing to keep in mind is that I've explicitly blocked Indian, Russian, Iranian, and North Korean IP origins at the edge. If the LLM crawler you're checking through is originating from one of those regions, it won't be able to access the site normally/at all.
Vladimir L. this is the page I was referring to: vandbruno.net/blogs/uae-business-survival-guide-iran-conflict-2026 Rechecked it since you couldnt reproduce it. What I saw wasnt really FOUC/meta, one crawler snapshot of that URL was returning the homepage title + body while another had the article correctly. So could be something intermittent around edge/cache/routing rather than the page itself. Also in regards to the LLM visbility, i didnt check from neither of those origins, I checked it around 5 of your MONEY search queries and none of them seem to have your work even though it should be there hence why I mentioned that you're missing out on that side š
Aaaaah. Good catch, that is a deleted blog, as the govt. wasn't too happy with the wording we used. It's definitely cache keeping the slug alive. As for the latter point, that's completely alright for now. We haven't gotten to query fan-outs or towards building proper topical authority yet. The main queries about our agency and MOFU keywords are covered through LI/Reddit. The 5 keywords you see now are going to be rotated out, as we are working on a huge update.
It's going from just the landing page, to around 8+ pages excluding tech-articles & contributors page Would love to get your opinion when it's fully done )
Hmm, cant really do much when govt. gets involved now can we. But yeah the cache's definitely working overtime here. And once the pages are live let me know, and I'd love to get back to you shortly on this too š
