Yea my mind set right now is to not act like an SEO at all (as much as possible) No drastic changes tbh, up or down, for the most part. March core update hasn't affected me really. One of the sites had a quick 25% dip in Oct, but has been on a slightly upward trajectory since. October was...

"The best way to learn the ins and outs of dog training is to think like one." if your keyword is dog training, the anchor text could be "think like one" or "is to think like one" or "learn the ins and outs" 1. late last year 2. all content 3. updated whatever i needed to depending on...

I'm always looking for info on anchors as well. Personally I'm not using optimized anchors at all anymore, especially externally. All NAT from now on (specifically, @Grind 's approach - natural language anchor very near your targeted keywords, but not actually containing it.) For internal...

I'm just gonna say this... As a certified YouTube junkie (on it all day everyday), I can tell you that basically ALL AI videos that I come across are easily spotted and immediately skipped. Also, may just be me but I've never seen a monetized AI video. I'll go a step further and even say I'll...

I've gone back and forth on this question. Not fake comments, but opening comments back on my sites. I remember years ago that there was a correlation between my best ranking pages and the highest number of comments on the page. But then when I was doing some speed optimizations for WP, I just...

Wow recently got LRT for a disavow campaign and the domain had ~13k links showing. Checked SEMRush's Backlink Audit section today and the domain has ~34k links found

Ahh fuck DEI is fucking up the SERPs now too! :tongue:

Don't share a site publicly regardless of AI or not.

I keep saying it but no one wants to hear it - GOOGLE IS FUCKIN WITH EVERYONE and they always have been. The nature of every single update since the beginning of my time in SEO is RANDOMNESS. Random shit sticks, random shit gets hit. I'm more and more starting to think Google doesn't know...

I watched a video last night where a normie (not an SEO or internet marketer, but someone who just "knows what SEO is") lamenting the downfall of the modern internet... It went something like (paraphrased)... "[the internet is] almost unusable now. Social media is full of shills... You google...

I'm increasingly of the belief that nothing less than a completely new and separate internet can save us now.

Clutch! I added webp to mine RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|webp|bmp|zip|rar|mp3|mp4|avi)$ - [F] I'm assuming that won't break things, will it?

Really resonated with this sentiment. I was doing all this SEO/digital work to try and make a living as passively as possible, so I could focus on what I really wanted to do. But as I got older and kept fighting the bad fight, I realized that it was a stupid idea and I should just dive right...

Anyone have any idea how the payouts might compare? A 10k traffic site on Adsense vs. a 10k traffic site on Journey by MV?

That sounds ominous - what'd you notice? The stammering/hesitation in the voice response? "uh, um" The food being eaten is an apple? OpenAI coming for Apple's neck? Enquiring minds want to know...

Reading all the latest posts here, my mind keeps going back to the idea that what's happening isn't necessarily new to SEO but, perhaps, on a larger scale than previously done. And that's the randomness and the chaos in the SERPs. I don't remember how long ago, or where I read it but the idea...

Haven't been in it for quite 20 years, but damn this post was very inspiring. Do you mind sharing what kind of project you're going all in on? Be as vague as you'd like or don't answer if you're not comfortable doing so.

Lmaoooo I've seen this in the wild (YMYL niche) and was so jelly I swear SEO is just a hamster wheel in a temporal sense. I think our current SEO timeline is an infinite loop that manifested when the large hadron collider fired up pre panda/penguin and opened a hole in the fabric of SEO space-time

$20 an hour minimum wage is what really dropped my jaw

Damn you're right no one mentions this but it's legitimately the most solid reason to stop focusing on trying to rank plain long-form written content in Google. Not to mention it's the least likely format to keep a user engaged on site and not hitting the back button. And other than links we all...
