Have you noticed an increase in the number of ads in your Twitter feed of late?
Giving a quick glance at your Twitter feed, shows that it has around one Promoted tweet every six slots or so, and it now updates every time you refresh. According to Social Media Today, Twitter has been slowly upping its ad load for some time, but it seems to have been pushing them a little harder in recent weeks.
While Twitter users might not be happy with the excess advertising, but it could be an opportunity for advertisers.

Google’s John Mueller discusses anchor text on internal links and the “visible effect in search”
In a Google Webmaster Central hangout, Google’s John Mueller answered a question about best practices for anchor text on internal linking. He answered the question and along the way dropped some information about the impact of internal link anchor text on search.
According to SEJ, on the one hand, Mueller says that internal links help Google understand the context of a page. And on the other hand he advises to not expect to see a visible effect on search.
Does that mean that internal linking is a useful but weak signal?
You make up your own mind. It makes sense to not give too much ranking factor influence to internal linking, but it also makes sense to let it influence the non-ranking factor part of the algorithm in terms of providing some context of what a page is about.
When doing research online, many times it a great way to learn about your competition by looking not only at who they are today but how they have looked over time since its inception. Wayback Machine (also known as Archive.org) is a great free resource website that archive website pages over time. You can type a domain name and browse through the website itself as it was on the different dates it was archived.
Its not only good for competition research but also before taking a decision on buying an ages/used domain, you can verify this domain was not by previous owners.
