#SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing a website to improve its ranking in search engine results pages (#SERPs). This is achieved through a variety of tactics and strategies, such as the use of keywords, backlinks, and the creation of high-quality content. The goal of SEO is to attract organic (unpaid) traffic to a website, as opposed to paid traffic from PPC (#Pay-Per-Click) advertising.
PPC is a form of online advertising where advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Google AdWords is the most popular platform for PPC advertising, and it allows advertisers to bid on specific keywords in order to display their ads in the sponsored results section of a search engine's results page.
Some pros of SEO include:
- It can attract a high volume of traffic to a website, as it targets users who are actively searching for specific products or services.
- It can be a cost-effective way to drive traffic to a website, as it relies on organic traffic rather than paid advertising.
- It can help to establish a website's credibility and authority, as high rankings in search results can be seen as a sign of a reputable and trustworthy website.Some cons of SEO include:
- It can be a slow process, as it can take time for a website to rank highly in search results.
- It can be difficult to predict the success of an SEO campaign, as search algorithms are constantly evolving and there are many factors that can influence a website's ranking.
- It can be a competitive field, as many websites may be competing for the same keywords and high rankings.Some pros of PPC include:
- It can drive targeted traffic to a website, as ads are only shown to users who are searching for specific keywords.
- It is a fast way to drive traffic to a website, as ads can be set up and activated within a short period of time.
- It allows for detailed tracking and measurement of the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.Some cons of PPC include:
- It can be expensive, as advertisers pay each time one of their ads is clicked.

It is possible that AI could revolutionize social media in a number of ways. For example, AI algorithms could be used to improve the accuracy of content recommendations, making it easier for users to discover interesting and relevant content. AI could also be used to automate moderation and flag potentially problematic content, helping social media platforms maintain a positive and safe environment for their users. Additionally, AI could be used to improve the efficiency of advertising on social media, allowing companies to better target their ads and reach the right audience. Overall, while the exact impact of AI on social media remains to be seen, it has the potential to significantly improve the user experience on these platforms.

For several months now, the Brainsy team HAS been posting about the shortcomings of Bitcoin as it relates to massive energy usage and Tesla has been part of our messaging campaign. It seemed incongruent that a clean car company was stoking demand for the carbon-pumping "Model T" of cryptos. For anyone doubting the negative impact of #dirtybitcoin on the planet, look here https://cbeci.org for the estimated power consumption (in real time) required for the bitcoin network.
That being said, we know that correlation does not equal causation. We're pretty certain that Elon Musk's conscience convinced him to stop allowing Tesla to accept bitcoin for car purchases. As he now puts it, bitcoin's energy usage “is insane” (his words).

Why is diversity, equity, and inclusion important in outdoor recreation?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI") is important in every aspect of life. We gain insight, innovation, strength, and shared humanity from a variety of skills, experience, and perspectives. It's no coincidence the two largest economies in the US are also two of the most diverse, Los Angeles and ... more
Diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI") is important in every aspect of life. We gain insight, innovation, strength, and shared humanity from a variety of skills, experience, and perspectives. It's no coincidence the two largest economies in the US are also two of the most diverse, Los Angeles and New York City (Brookings Institute, March 2020, McKinsey & Company, February 2021)
Ownership, leadership and participation that reflects the rich diversity of our world will assure the dividends from outdoor engagement accrue to us all. The path to true equity will begin when people from all walks of life are connected to, and invested in protecting our planet and its precious natural resources.
Currently, Black, Latinx and Asian participants are significantly underrepresented in outdoor recreation participation but are the most enthusiastic and fastest growing participant groups (Outdoor Foundation, 2020). Active engagement of these communities will assure robust outdoor industry growth and future participation.
By actively implementing DEI initiatives in outdoor recreation, we can create and grow organizations and enterprises which will engage more skills and perspectives to solve our most pressing climate problems, build wealth in under-invested communities and create the diverse, equitable, sustainable future we ALL deserve.

Thanks for inquiring about this optional, yet important, feature on the Brainsy platform. Although we expect it to evolve, here’s our current definition:
Data Incognito mode is an innovative approach to give consumers maximum control and transparency over the use of their data and the option to be free from algorithms, targeting, and analytics when participating on social media (powered by Brainsy). Data types include volunteered data, data collected or provided by third parties, and the consumer’s behavioral data.
Have you ever gone into the privacy controls of your social media account by another provider (eg. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) and tried to throttle back how they use your data? It’s typically pretty complicated and you’re only given very coarse controls over what data they can use, or how they use it. It’s also opaque in terms of all the data they collect on you and how they get it. It has been reported that Facebook collects up to 52,000 data points on their users. How many do you know about? Probably very little beyond a handful of obvious ones.
Many browsers now offer a form of incognito mode to limit the collection of cookies on the user. Data Incognito mode extends this general concept but is also very different. In the same way that e-commerce companies made shopping easier by promoting “1-click” purchasing, we’re giving the consumer an option to flip a single switch on their account for Data Incognito mode so that ALL data (except required transactional data) is put in a vault and not used by our systems. It’s not that you are anonymous or that we don’t have it, it’s that we won’t use it. It’s our promise that any and all data associated with your account will not be used for analytical purposes, to serve content (including advertising) or to target you in any other way.
Data Incognito mode also provides other important benefits:
First, you’ll have granular visibility into each data element that we capture. To improve your user experience, you can permit us to use a particular data element. For example, if you want to get notified when people you follow are posting to the platform in real time, you might permit us to use a “Those I Follow” data element (or however it might be named). If you decide later to revoke that permission, you can easily do so and you’ll have an auditable trail of all the data elements you’ve permitted us to use (or not).
Second, even when you permit us to use a particular data element, you’ll still have the ability to disable any algorithms that use it. We catalog all the algorithms that act on that data and do our best to explain what each algorithm is intended to do. You have the ability to easily turn off that single algorithm.
There’s a caveat however, Data Incognito mode needs to be enabled at the site level by the client of a Brainsy powered platform. We provide clients with highly customized and configured features on their Brainsy powered site and some may not want to enable this feature. If you’re using a Brainsy powered site and don’t have access to Data Incognito mode, that’s an issue between you and whomever operates that Brainsy site. It’s a business decision whether or not to enable this feature.
Why were we compelled to launch this new set of features? If you look at the large dominant social media platforms today, there’s a realization and consensus emerging that they are more harmful to society than the benefits they provide. These algorithmically based platforms are driven by a click-for-profit business model and they divide, polarize, incite, and addict. There is a better way. And we want to show, by doing, a feasible path to creating a pro-consumer and privacy-respectful experience on (branded) social media. We welcome you to register on a Brainsy powered site and to join us on the journey.
