New here, finally made an account

Hey. Made an account after using the search here more times than I can count, so it seemed fair to stop freeloading and actually say hello.

Most of what I do is the unglamorous end of SEO. Something drops, nobody is quite sure why, and I go looking for the boring cause. A template change that quietly killed the internal links, a staging noindex that survived a migration, redirect chains three hops deep. That kind of thing.

Mainly here to read. There are people on this forum working at a scale I am not, and I would rather learn from that than guess. I will chime in where I actually know something.

there are people on bhw working on scales they will never reveal

I am new here too and your story feels the same as mine so I decided to say hello in your topic

proxygo, that is probably the useful part. The ones who never say what they are running tend to be worth reading twice.

Pearlsome, good to know I am not the only new one. Ask the dumb questions early, I intend to.
