There is probably some residual traffic to be had, but a fraction of the search volume reported. If I want to know the weather and Google tells me, I might click into a site if I want more granular details. If I want to know what 4.78 grams is in ounces then I'm not going to click any further...

Are you implying that you think you'll be able to build a competing financial site in the YMYL EAT era by using AI content (which might as well be spun content)?

Why would you noindex your About page? The others, that's your choice. Google's John Mueller says it's fine to leave them indexed. If you do noindex them you should keep page 1 of the paginated series indexed and only noindex page 2 and beyond. I wouldn't assume yellow symbol errors don't move...

Focus on what's working and ignore the rest until you're in a place where you can afford to explore new and fun things and eat the losses. You sound like you've mastered SEO, so why not become a skrillionaire there? Or if your eCommerce is streamlined, why not scale that up? Unless you're a...

With Amazon, the user probably is already logged into their account. That's less friction on the conversion and they'll probably buy some toilet paper while they're at it. It's like going to Walmart for one item. Good luck. Is the extra products and conversion rate enough to outpace the extra...

Duplicate content isn't a problem, whether it's on your own site or on someone else's site. Google can't stop someone from copying or syndicating your content. They try to figure out the original (or best) copy and make it the canonical version. That helps but people learned how to "hack"...

A sucker is born every minute. This is why there's so many "gurus" out there. From crypto to "learn to be a real estate agent" to "flip houses" to SEO and especially in supplements / diets / shortcuts to anything... it's easy pickings. When you sell spam to spammers who are spamming with 5...

This kind of behavior is NOT protected under Section 230, which needs reform. Under Section 230, you're protected from being sued from what others publish as long as you aren't making editorial decisions. Once you do that, you're supposed to lose your protections, which obviously isn't...

What do you imagine you're gaining by hiding affiliate links from Google? I'm sure you've noticed that pretty much every site that ranks highly uses affiliate links in some fashion. What advantage is not having them supposed to bring?

What exactly is your question? What initial first step? You want to know how to scale your client work? You want to know how to build an ecommerce store? You want to know how to do internet marketing? What are you asking?

Yes, it is viable to run a website. The Google Fred update wiped out a lot of these types of sites and still does. Some survive and keep making money. Why some get hit and others don't, I haven't seen any good explanation for yet. Most I see are churn and burn, put up fast and hit with a lot of...

These services are meant for you to submit thousands upon thousands of URLs of mass spam to help get trash indexed. Does it help? Sure, to some degree, but Google also rejects a good amount of it too. The drawback is you can have too many links indexed all at once and Google realizes they're...

Is there a reason you're not using Paypal? They can take cards. What type of site are we talking about? Something with a checkout cart like ecommerce? Shopify has a payment API that you can use if you can code it.

It sounds like a personal or service-based coupon site PBN. The only "weird" part is they're using nofollow links, which might actually be smart since it safeguards against link-based penalties. But what they are getting is relevance through targeted anchor text usage. And they boost their...

All of the talk about building an audience in order to have someone to sell to is just basic marketing. The real nugget in this is that the "info products" which are his e-books and courses are part of a funnel. Charging for them squeezes out tire kickers, and then you hit them with offers for...

If you can reach the site on your own, then Page Speed Insights probably cached the information related to reaching your domain. It's the same reason you can run Pingdom twice and get a much faster result on the second fetch. They're caching. I'd try a different inner page URL and see if it...

Maybe in the past, different backlink profiles would fly in different industries, but these days (and this is only opinion) post-Penguin I'd say that Google is handling spam a lot better. Most trashy spam is ignored, most profiles (even if they're dofollow) are ignored. Stuff like Web 2.0's are...

The higher the volume and competition of a term, the more willing Google is to rank a homepage. The problem is, this is nearly always a branded domain of high authority. Otherwise they seem less willing to rank homepages (to fight this issue) and prefer inner pages. That doesn't mean you can't...

Fake News: @Philip J. Fry says that the NYT says that Bush Jr. says he won't vote for Trump: Truth: Bush Jr. himself says that was fake news. Fake News: @Philip J. Fry says that NPR says that the DOJ says Antifa wasn't involved in rioting. Truth: The DOJ themselves has put out a statement that...

Oh no, @Philip J. Fry fell for Fake News again.
