Why Googlers Delete Posts On X (Twitter)


I have been noticing that Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, has been eradicating posts from his X (previously Twitter) account so much. I additionally observed on choose posts, John Mueller from Google has additionally performed that however so much much less typically.

John eliminated tweets associated to Google not rolling again the useful content material replace. In case you learn that story, you possibly can see the tweets have been eliminated however the embeds that I used are nonetheless displaying the textual content of his tweet.

Here’s a partial screenshot:

Removed Johnmu Tweets

John Mueller, from what I can inform, not often ever removes his posts from X. So these removals made me do a double-take. Did Google roll again the useful content material replace? They did not say they did. So why take away these posts?

Replace: Google clarified the useful content material replace was not rolled again:

I did e mail John over every week in the past earlier than publishing this asking for a remark in regards to the elimination. I didn’t hear again. I additionally requested John and Danny in regards to the removals on Twitter, wherein Danny replied however John didn’t.

Danny Sullivan automates the elimination of his tweets from his private account. He instructed me on X, ” On my private account, I’ve (properly had, the service died) auto-delete that is been in place for over a 12 months. It stored issues with some notable engagement that appeared, properly, value conserving. I can pull work tweets up from my archive if wanted.”

That means, he had a device that eliminated posts that had decrease ranges of engagement. Why? I’m not positive. I assume he felt the lower-level engagement stuff was not value conserving. I didn’t see him doing that on his @searchliaison account however once more, he stated the service has been turned off that does that.

John Mueller didn’t reply to my query on why some tweets have been eliminated.

I had this story scheduled for as we speak, simply to offer John extra time to answer earlier than I revealed. I additionally see that this morning others are noticing the elimination:

It does make you marvel if Google did roll again any of the final useful content material replace and why there has not been one other useful content material replace since September and why there was just one useful content material this 12 months.
