Myriam’s SEO, SXO and everything in between Links – March 2019

This content is 5 years old. Remember that the following content might be outdated.

Welcome! Once in a while, I pretend I am a Web curator and share a list of articles that I thought were interesting, hilarious or practical. This list can cover anything from obscure Wikipedia articles, sociological studies, technical SEO experiments, search experience optimization. I was a librarian in another life (the Sorbonne hires student librarians) – think of this as yet another anecdote about a sassy librarian 🙂

You can follow me on twitter to interact with me or stalk me in a socially acceptable manner.

Pssst! Want to know more about Myriam Jessier? I’m a happy product marketing consultant specialized in search engine experience and search engine optimization.
