    Google AI Overviews Now Appear in 47% of Results - Gemini 2.0 to Expand AI Overviews to More Queries

    I remember when I first started doing SEO at an agency, the yellow pages guys were pushing so hard to retain those marketing dollars that were rapidly starting to come to us instead. They were trying everything to keep their already dead business model alive. They refused to pivot effectively...

    Are people actually not seeing SEO success anymore?

    I think most people mean they're not seeing SEO success on their already decimated old sites, i.e. they can't *recover* their site's SEO traffic. But it's definitely still possible to get search traffic.

    Google Algorithm Updates - 2024 Ongoing Discussion

    Lol "stepping into the newly created role of Chief Technologist" - sounds like they can't get rid of him outright, but want to limit the damage by giving him the unplugged game controller to play with.

    I think i need some help.

    Can confirm. Chasing "passive internet monies" so you can finally do what you really want to do is a GREAT way to waste 10 years.

    Site Visitors Magically Turned Into Email Subs

    So this tripped me out and I was baffled how they can claim "fully permissioned emails" without having filled out a form or added to cart, etc. On the getgobot site if you read up on their "AI Identity Pixel" it looks as if they're tracking users whove consented via another website altogether...

    GA is absolute trash and I've had several 90% drops in traffic for a few hours and then it goes back to normal. Honestly everything google does now fucking sucks

    Actually quite the opposite from my experience.

    Leaked Internal Google Engineering Documentation

    SEO just got interesting again... This "summary" is a VERY ChatGPT answer - generic fluffy bullshit that sounds smart but doesn't say much and doesn't seem like it actually analyzed the document, but instead relied on it's own training data to probabilistically guess at what might look correct...

    What's your take on AI generated content?

    Jesus, the number of stupid, down-right dangerous examples of SGE gone rogue is way too high for this to be a live part of Google search. Either they hired stupid fucks that don't know what they're doing or they hired smart fucks who know EXACTLY what they're doing - either possibility is...

    Massive influx of links

    I did this last disavow pretty manually, myself. And what I thought was a list of already cleaned URLs showed that some really good links were still in the mix so I scrolled through the excel file line by line as fast as I could while still sort of paying attention - was the most tedious thing...

    Massive influx of links

    Jesus Christ - can't stress enough you gotta use ALL link sources to find as many potential links as possible. My first round with LRT earlier this year netted 15k links My second look with SEM rush told me about 35k links Just finished a new disavow and used the following: - LRT - SEMRush -...

    Maybe its a group of rogue but righteous blackhats spamming the fuck out of everything they find in an effort to destroy the evil Googlenet's sorcery on the masses so the internet can be open and free again

    Google Algorithm Updates - 2024 Ongoing Discussion

    I think you're on to something here. Maybe not in terms of recovery, per se, but in terms of site classification or footprints, if you will. I hadn't thought about this much recently, but to me I think it's likely a big factor in determining what a site's purpose is - i.e. is this an "SEO...

    Internal Linking Anchor Text

    This 100%. Just knowing the basics, rolling up your sleeves and doing the grunt work that one is often avoiding while looking for said silver bullets. Ive done (and do) that too much. Which is why I really just want to strip everything superfluous away and do the basic bitch grunt work I'm...

    Cheap Links For Getting Spam Links ReCrawled

    Yea use GSA if you have a decent list of targets or RankerX if you don't. Also search BHW for kevin's PBN. The nastiest, dirtiest, sluttiest links ever for pretty cheap

    Internal Linking Anchor Text

    None of that shit matters in my experience. Schema won't help you rank (but apparently you can rank a page with just proper schema and no on-page text content, but that's beside the point) I've spent an extraordinary amount of time making sure my page speed was under 2 seconds and my CWV's...
