I’m trying hard not to use hate and cuss words here but the twitter XEO community is the absolute worst place with all sorts of clowns parading themselves as XEOs.
I came across this tweet attributing a website drop to “bad SEO advice” and I thought in my head…hmmm, this is interesting. I’ll...
This!!!
I'm surprised no one has been able to pull this off. My bet is that Google made it such that no one can recover.. But assuming i'm wrong and a recovery is possible, whoever cracks this first is going to make a LOT OF MONEY!
What’s going on here?
It’s simple.
For stuffs like the HCU, Google does not and cannot manually “police” every content website on the internet. It’s IMPOSSIBLE.
What THEY CAN DO is manually review a small sample of the web (usually the spammiest websites), to create a profile for the...
Spam update has been completed. Now, we wait for the final lap of the core update: https://searchengineland.com/google-march-2024-spam-update-done-rolling-out-438505
Buckle up! I think there's gonna be a lot of movements/recoveries!
Why should they talk when G is literarily going after SEOs with manual actions, and the SEOs themselves are publicly outing each other's sites & tagging Google to get them penalized?
Why would you want to share your wins with such people?
These days, there's absolutely no benefit to publicly...
I'm not sure why some SEOs think that Google can algorithmically differentiate between Human and AI content, which gives them a false belief of safety/immunity to the algorithm.
I mean, why are they dishing out manual penalties when they can just write some codes to flush AI sites out of their...
I disagree. I think the "cheap and easy" stuff has died and the little remaining crumbs will be killed in the next couple of updates, unless big G makes a U-turn.
The keyword here is cheap AND easy.
I think there are still "easy" SEO plays if you're smart & paying attention to what Google is...
I've got 4 active sites.
1 got hit by around 55% - MV ads
2 were unaffected - No Ads
1 doubled traffic - No ads
I'm not saying correlation = causation but this seems to be a thing when it look at the SERPS in general (not just my niches).
Another observation is that E-com sites with...
I'm actually embarrassed to see people here take John Mu's comments seriously. No offense, but i thought we were smarter than this?
John Mu and his cohorts are distractions that Google uses to keep us away from the truth. I mean, when last have they given you truly helpful statements/ answers...
Must be nice to say and do this while its all good and rosy. I've seen most of your comments here and you seem to be living in a bubble that makes you oblivious of the realities.
You made an earlier comment about content velocity, and while i agree it can be helpful (for topical authority) it...
An excerpt from that article:
Take note of the bolded words. It pretty much explains/confirms my suspicions that 2022 algo updates were more or less Google continuously testing something on the live algorithm and not so much to do with "rewarding better content".
Back to the main topic, i...
If you couldn't recover with human written content what makes you think ai content will be any different? Not worth it IMO.
btw, i see many people stressing over getting negatively affected by last year's updates. I understand how it feels but i don't think you're doing a lot wrong. I've seen...
Yo! Have you noticed improvements? @MinstrelJunkie My pages have started showing up for their keywords!
Going by this video, the filter thing might be "real" and in our case, caused by links (internal & external). Looks like google tweaked the treshold for new articles to get served based on...
Interesting. I just checked and we're on Googlebot mobile. We've been there since 2018.
I also did URL inspection for one of our pages and it checks all boxes. "Indexed", crawled by googlebot smartphone, Mobile friendly, e.t.c.. Yet doesn't rank for anything.
Aha! That’s it. You have 400+ indexed articles but only 3 of them are actually ranking.
Another thing to check:
- Are the indexed pages showing the article date when you do a site: search, or is it blank?
- Are the mobile usable pages showing article dates in the SERP?
Please let me know what...
Are your articles actually showing up in the SERPS for their keywords (a.k.a being Served by Google)?
Your case looks like the articles aren't passing the serving stage of Google's crawling - indexing - serving processes.
Quickly check this: Search Console > Mobile Usability.
Does the...
Saw this link on Twitter the other day. Might have something to do with cloud flare:
