I had a negative experience with the core update. I had great positive movement yesterday. All I did was add links.

I'm seeing very drastic changes in the SERPs, and traffic is already reflecting it. Terms previously sitting on pages 4-7 are now top of page 2 and climbing daily - others that were page 1 are moving up 3-4 spots, respectively. Traffic is up well over half week-over-week, and it's virtually...

Massively up since Friday.

Big problem for me, as well. When I hit my largest earning months, I find it harder and harder to even do the simple things. So... what did you do to fight this... or was your team the golden goose allowing you to chill?

My weekend dropped off a cliff, and around 5 - 7 p.m. EST yesterday was nearly double traffic. Big swings. EDIT: Looks like it may be nothing. John Mu: "I don't have all the details yet, but it seems like this was a glitch on our side and has been fixed in the meantime. If someone could fix...

Just here to say thanks.

Honestly, I just can't believe it hasn't happened sooner. It's 100% necessary.

I don't think this is out of the question at all. I could provide an affirmative on this one here. It was an M&A, but very little content was migrated; it was basically for links, exclusively.

I run around in a lot of the YMYL niches, and we're seeing lots of ups and downs, for large KWs, at that. It's a widespread update, for sure. I'm sure longtail is a part of it, but things that have ranked well in the top 3 for years are no longer there, and there's actually quite a bit of spammy...

Why not have an article up, and turn on a voice recorder (is Dragon Speak still a thing?), then just "summarize" each sentence very quickly? You're now "writing" just as fast as you can read, comprehend, and rehash. Edit, publish, repeat.

Likely because quite a few scams have already occurred, and since it's an emerging 'investment' world, it's tough to vet everyone appropriately. I'm of the opposite mindset, that people should do their own research, and if they fall victim to a scam, tough cheese. However, I think the ad...

Are you referring to a limit order?

Start with learning to audit. Technical SEO begins with identifying whether or not the foundation is solid. For internal signals, ScreamingFrog is your new best friend. Siteliner/Copyscape can help you identify content issues, GTMetrix/Pingdom/Google Pagespeed Insights help with site speed...

That sweet, sweet karma at the top of /r/all though..

Fear is your mentor.

Caffeine (read: coffee) is fine for you, if not slightly beneficial, as long as you don't go crazy. As with anything, yes, you can build up a tolerance, and yes, it can get out of control. That said, I love coffee for coffee, and I don't get any other sources of caffeine (no soda, etc.). When...

I literally never thought I'd hear of CEO Sam again. And here we are. What a depressing legacy living on. :)

Long weeks start and end with the weekend.

Random question, probably. Let's say a marketer was marketing their site, and a percentage of all incoming links was their name (John Smith). Speaking strictly towards organic ranking, would it matter, either way, if the author of the post was listed as (John Smith) or (admin)? Or no author at...

Great thoughts, @eliquid . Out of curiosity, why did your core values change? Do you feel you attained the previous ones, or is it just a different mindset for a different time in your life?
