A real reality check went out today, I hope it actually gets deposited. It won't though.

Massachussetts just put out a study that found 30% of their "random sample" aka people walking by on the street had antibodies for the virus. San Francisco had a study that says there's possibly 55x more infections than we know about. All three of these studies including the Los Angeles one...

Yes, it does. The game of optimizing for CTR isn't quite what it used to be now that responsive ads came out, which lifted the average CTR up but you can't really get huge numbers as easily now. But in the right niches with traffic it's a gold mine still. In most niches you're fighting for...

Guerilla had a stroke and had to step back from business at the level he was operating at. He's doing okay now, all things considered. Most of the Wickedfire guys were spammers and after Penguin they all went to the next "easy" gold rush which they saw as cryptocurrency. I'm "friends" with a...

I'm glad you quickly figured out how absolutely stupid your observations in the first quote are.

No, I don't think so. The resale value of content is immaterial and irrelevant if you're not going to sell the content. And when you go to sell the website, nobody cares about the value of the content. A new valuation variable comes into play, which is profit per month (and time required to...

@BOBskot I think the same as the early opinions in this thread. They've tried to mitigate the complaints of SEOs (the people that will adopt this and then get others to do it) by no longer sending you to a Google-controlled URL. Now it's your own URLs like domain.com/post-title/amp. It reminds...

You're being paranoid. Just get a new Google account for the new site and proceed as normal. I wouldn't put them in the same account, but I wouldn't go through all that other stuff you're talking about. Google doesn't constantly scan and cross reference IP addresses and what domains are ranking...

What's your goal in having sites on separate IP addresses? Are they PBNs? (Do care about c-class IPs) Do they interlink but are real brands with no link schemes? (Don't care) Do they have any relation at all? (Don't care)

I'm only a Level 3 Sage, but my opinion on AMP is it can piss off. It's cool, honestly, in the same way Facebook Instant Articles is cool. The user clicks an article, it loads really fast, stripping away your carefully crafted user experience, and the user never leaves the platform they were on...

Correct. Typically people talk about it in terms of "Unlinked Citations" as URLs and "Unlinked Brand Mentions" as your brand name typed out, both without a link, of course.

To be honest, you're lucky to have gotten any responses at all after revealing some of the pathetic stuff you're typing in this thread. I'm on your side as is everyone else here, but you need to hear the unfiltered truth, too. There's some very simple things you can do that will start to change...

Here's something kind of related I saw a while back: https://www.syte.ai https://www.visenze.com These are two examples. I can't find the original one, but it turns out a ton of companies are popping up. Basically they can visually recognize products within images, tag affiliate links, and if...

There is absolutely no better thing for SEO than a sitemap, in my opinion. Not only can you tell Google which pages you want indexed, you can get them crawled regularly, re-crawled at any time by updating your posts, you can use it to compare to what's actually indexed and find bloat or errors...

I read somewhere, I'm pretty sure from an official Google employee (maybe not), that although BERT affects up to 10% of queries, it largely affected short tails more. I guess that makes sense since this thing was made to help better comprehend queries, and the shorter it is the more confusing it...

Besides wanting to geo-locate and get paid from multiple countries, Amazon's own geo-locator OneLink sucks and doesn't find the right product a lot of times. Genius has a far greater success rate of finding the right product or a similar one.

They rewrite them depending on the query (especially the meta description). You want them to do this. They increase CTR for you. It's probably among the easiest things for them to measure: "When meta title and meta description have keyphrase, CTR increases" "When meta title has brand name at...

If things are going as well as you say, take out a business loan (since you don't want to mess with investors and equity), place a huge order, sell it out, pay back the loan for minimal interest, and then you should be sitting on a larger war chest that lets you start placing bigger orders. I'd...

My Adsense is going just fine today. Getting about the same number of views, CPC, clicks, all of it. Peachy keen over here.

Getting Google to believe that's your brand and not a generic search term is tricky. They caught on to this like 10 years ago. What actually happens is you end up with less leeway for exact match anchor texts. Think of it like there being a threshold value of 100. If you go over 100, you trip...
