Voices of Search // A Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Content Marketing Podcast · Raising SEO Security Awareness · 6 Jan 2025 podcast

So there's there there's that side of things and then obviously

There's three parts, but then as I say, working at uh Luma, we run into trying to crawl obviously what happens is a SEO will buy the tool in and then we'll go to crawl the site and suddenly find that as soon as we hit

500 URLs or something like that, then an alarm goes off in an office somewhere, and suddenly our user agent gets blocked or IP gets blocked and things like that.

Because again, nobody's told the security team that they've bought on a really large scale crawler.

And the first thing that anybody does when they're given a cloud-based crawler is they set the URLs to like 30 a second or something like that.

And all of a sudden people start DDoSing their own business without realizing it.

And then the third thing is, I think had life been a bit different, I think I would be a security guy.

You can't give me something without immediately thinking how can I not misuse this, but what happens if I do the thing that you don't necessarily want me to with it, right?

I love taking things apart and seeing how they work and just trying what happens if I like the way I learnt JavaScript was just taking JavaScript and changing numbers, changing things to see what would happen, right?

And so I've just always had this interest.

Like I love reading things like Oliver Mason's blog, oh Hgm.co.uk, I think it is.

Because he's the same.

He was just, Oh, okay, what happens if I try this?

What happens if I do this thing that people say I shouldn't do?

Or that doesn't make any sense?

And that's always been an interesting thing for me.

And I see it now with client sites a lot, where sometimes we kind of say, Oh, this this can happen.

And they say, Well, yeah, but

You know, who's gonna do that?

And it's like, Well well well I have.
