Here’s probably how Semrush linked concepts—and got it totally wrong

When you have been on this disinformation-busting journey for nine months, you can work out how Semrush got everything so wrong.

It took a while: Autocade hits 4,000 models

The Chinese-market Buick Enclave became Autocade’s 4,000th model today. It wasn’t planned: in fact, I had readied a photograph of the Hyundai Tiburon (RD), expecting that would be the 4,000th.
