Replied in Start here: how the Doily community works
How the sort tabs work. Best weighs votes by how many people voted, adds replies, and favors newer threads. All else equal, 9 up and 1 down ranks above 1 up and 0 down. Hot combines the score with age. Newer threads with votes rise, and older ones sink even…

Formatting. Posts and replies support a small part of Markdown: bold, italic, bulleted and numbered lists, inline code, code blocks fenced with 3 backticks, and links. The toolbar above the box adds the syntax, and Preview shows the result as you type…

Saving and joining. Save a thread to find it again. Saved threads are listed on your profile, and only you can see that list. Join a community to keep it in your own list of communities. Joining does not change what you can read or post.

Reports and review. Every post and reply has a Report control with a list of reasons. Three reports from different accounts hide a post until a moderator reviews it. Posts from accounts in their first 24 hours, or with fewer than 3 posts, are held for review…

What happens when a post breaks a rule. Posts from new accounts are held for review. An account is new for its first 24 hours or until it has 3 published posts. Posts and replies that trip the content checks are held or rejected with a message that names the…

Self-harm and crisis. A post that mentions self-harm is held so a person can respond with care instead of an automatic removal. If you or someone you know is in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988.

Replied in Why does my site rank on Google but ChatGPT never mentions it?
A Google ranking and an AI mention come from different systems, so one does not guarantee the other. Google ranks pages for a query. An AI engine writes an answer, picks which sources to lean on, and then decides which brands to name. Your page can win the…
Replied in Why does my site rank on Google but ChatGPT never mentions it?
A 10 prompt test you can run this week. Write 10 prompts in your customers' words, not your keywords. Run each one on ChatGPT and on Google AI Overviews. For every run, write down the date, whether you were mentioned, whether one of your pages was cited, and…
Replied in Why does my site rank on Google but ChatGPT never mentions it?
On ranking versus being cited. Google says a page has to be indexed and eligible to show with a snippet to be a supporting link in AI Overviews or AI Mode, and it lists no other technical requirement. Both features can also run related searches, which Google…
Replied in Why does my site rank on Google but ChatGPT never mentions it?
Read the cited sources like a list of places to be. If the same review site, directory, or comparison list keeps appearing in the cited sources and you are not on it, that is a specific gap you can close. Count how many times each site shows up across your…
Replied in How long does SEO take to show results?
There is no fixed timeline, and anyone who gives you one is guessing. It depends on where you start, how competitive the searches are, how often Google crawls your site, and what you change. What usually happens in order: Days to weeks: Google recrawls…
Replied in Two of my pages rank for the same keyword and keep swapping places. Should I merge them?
It can be a problem, and merging is often the fix, but check intent before you act. Step 1: Confirm it is real. In Search Console, open the Performance report, filter to the query, and switch to the Pages tab. If 2 pages each get a share of impressions and…
Replied in What should a monthly SEO report for a small business include?
Aim for 1 to 2 pages that an owner can read in 5 minutes. Lead with the story, then show the evidence. A short summary at the top. 3 or 4 sentences: what changed this month, why, and what happens next. If you cannot write it, you do not understand the data…
Replied in How do I check whether AI crawlers can reach my site?
Start with robots.txt, then check the layers in front of your site, because most blocks hide there. Read robots.txt. Open yoursite.com/robots.txt and look for rules that name AI crawlers, or a blanket Disallow: / under User-agent: . Each AI company documents…
Replied in How do I check whether AI crawlers can reach my site?
Which bots to allow depends on your goal. For search visibility, allow the search bots: OAI-SearchBot for ChatGPT search, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, and Googlebot. To keep your content out of model training, block GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and the…
Replied in How do I check whether AI crawlers can reach my site?
ChatGPT-User and Perplexity-User are different. They fetch a page because a person asked a question. Both companies say robots.txt rules may not apply to them, since a user triggered the request. If a page must stay private, put it behind a login. A…
Replied in How do I check whether AI crawlers can reach my site?
If you write firewall allow rules, match the user agent together with the IP ranges the vendor publishes. A user agent string can be copied by anyone, and Perplexity recommends pairing the two. Anthropic advises against blocking by IP address as a way to opt…
Replied in Should I put keywords in my title tag or write it for people?
Do both in the same line. The title tag has 2 jobs: tell search engines what the page is about, and persuade a person to click. A workable formula: Start with the words a searcher would type, in the order they would say them. Add the specific thing that…
Replied in What makes a page easy for AI engines to quote?
No format guarantees a citation, but certain habits make a page easier to use and cost nothing in a normal search. Answer first. Open the page with a direct answer to the question in the title, in 40 to 60 words. Put the detail after it. Engines and readers…
