    On Page SEO Tool?

    The two best On Page SEO Tools, IMO, are Cora and Page Optimizer Pro (mentioned above). Cora is like POP (Page Optimizer Pro) on steroids... it crawls the top 100 results for a keyword and measures your site against them based on over 500 ranking factors. Then gives you suggestions based on...

    Keyword Mapping Template for Organizing a New Site

    Cowabunga Builders! I've usually just wung it (winged it?) when it comes organizing a new site with keyword research. I was just wondering if anyone had a clean spreadsheet to use to map keywords to a URL.

    What's your take on Google's Search Algorithm right now?

    Do you mean any new links pointed to a new page, or any new links to any page? A site I do SEO for has been stuck at number 4 for a big money term and there's one site above me that I just can't figure out what they're doing. They have no where near the link profile, on page is not better...

    New Google Update

    Around March 9th started seeing a drop in some organic keywords. Traffic is stable though, because the snippets bring in so much of it. It's confusing to me, because it seems like Featured Snippets are based on the quality of the site so it seems like organic would move up too... but, that's...

    New Google Update

    We've always had great visibility in Featured Snippets, even beating out our biggest competitor and with this update, we now have almost twice as many than our biggest competitor and way more than any other competitor... What's interesting is, our organic rankings dropped slightly and some of...

    Wordpress 5.0 - The Incoming 'Gutenberg' Disaster

    I helped build my company's site using Laravel. It's worked really well for us and allowed us to do a lot of customization without hacking the shit out of it (like we would have with WordPress). Also, our industry is very big on being secure (it's an ecommerce site that sells precious metals)...

    Rankings Drop and No Site Links for Brand After Paused Adwords Campaign

    The boss just thought it was not a great investment because we had such a good organic presence. We've started it back up again now. There were some competitors bidding, but they seemed to stop. So you've seen changes in rankings when people have stopped PPC branded campaigns?

    Rankings Drop and No Site Links for Brand After Paused Adwords Campaign

    Something interested happened recently after my company paused their Branded Adwords Campaign. We've been in the top 4 for a very targeted commercial term for months (in a very competitive industry). We saw that no one was bidding on our Brand name in Adwords, so we paused a campaign for...

    Featured Snippet in Google Search

    This is definitely "normal" for Featured Snippets. My company's site that I do SEO for is constantly in and out. The good thing is, I'm always in multiple snippets for high volume terms. But, some days I'll see a lot, some days I'll see just a few. I do notice it cycles through the same sites...

    Should I NoFollow Links of Reposted Content

    Thanks so much for the detailed replies. We're gonna just keep 'em dofollowed then. I've been doing a lot of research about how the traffic to the sites with backlinks to your money site is really helping boost some rankings. So we're planning on using this site to send traffic to sites that...

    Should I NoFollow Links of Reposted Content

    We've just launched a conservative news site that is just aggregating content (not curating, no original content, but we do choose which articles get posted). The site is getting a ridiculous amount of traffic because our email list is enormous and we're monetizing it with ads. Working out...

    How Should SEOs Prepare for a Google AI Engine?

    Very cool. I've also been really interested in it lately. I've also been interested in the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it might affect SEO and digital marketing. Just started a course on it.

    Verizon buying Yahoo for $5 billion

    "And there’s Tumblr and Flickr to consider as well. It’s not clear what Verizon’s plans are for Yahoo yet — it could operate it as a subsidiary, or wrap it all under the Verizon cloak — so there’s reason to be concerned your favorite service may vanish or change drastically." Oh no! No more...

    Clickbait Title from Ahrefs Blog: On-Page SEO is Dead [But Still a Good Article]

    Good point. I actually just made a change to my main site that was sitting at 12-14... just made on-page changes and within a week it was sitting at 8-9. They did all their testing with ahrefs and it's pretty obvious they're trying to promote their software. But, I do like ahrefs and use it a...
