SEO National

Lit up green like a Christmas tree. These massive increases are compared to just two weeks ago... This is what compounding effort in SEO looks like. Jumping multiple pages on Google, some allll the way to page one on their first jump. New SEO for a new client on a new site. ? Unoptimized website structure ? Little historical content to leverage ? Improved the website speed and user experience ? Started cranking out monthly content Progress was slow. We started nearly a year ago, but held consistent, slow and steady. Now things are kicking in at warp speed, because enough credibility has been established. Page one monopoly, here we come. ?? SEO is a marathon, not a race. The riches do not go to the fastest to start, but the first to finish.

Anyone else use Brave for their browser? Built in ad blocker. More privacy. The blocking of ads also makes searches and websites load quicker. Brave estimates it's saved me 22 hours in wasted micro delays over the years. Also blocked 1.6 million ad displays or tracking scripts. And that's just my phone... I also use it on my laptop for work. Bet it's 10x more saved time there.

Negative Impact of Amazon Affiliate Pages on SEO Client added a bunch of Amazon affiliate links to their site, but… they didn’t give me the heads up. They were hoping to add additional passive income by sending people OFF of their website (stealing sales from their core product). Instead, then new pages had thin content that provided no real value and diluted the value propositions of their site. Traffic suffered. ?? When I found out about these pages I had immediate concerns because of the thin content and sending people off site. But I also understand that SEO isn’t their only consideration. I asked if they’d got any sales from the experiment. “Not really.” I recommended how to strategically un-do the pages and map their deletion. After all, don’t want to solve one problem (removing the thin pages) and create another (now dozens of dead links). Client approved, fixed the mess, and exactly one month later their organic traffic is up 33%. Grass is always greener… but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. ?? https://lnkd.in/eMUVebzT #SEO #AffiliateMarketing #ContentStrategy #WebsiteOptimization #OrganicTraffic

I've personally signed and mailed over 450 copies of my best-selling SEO book, Outrank... on my dime. I save a note about every copy I send. When I know the person I write something personal. When I don't, I wish them continued success. Either way, I thank them. Rough estimate of $10-20 printed and shipped per book, let's say $15 down the middle X 450 = $6,750... on a low end. Shipped a lot internationally, which are a lot more. But that $6.7k has brought me well over $100k in return. Most the time my sales calls aren't really sales calls. They already know my expertise, and relatable personal stories from my book, making sales calls more like done deals with small clarifying questions. Take care of others. Give without expecting in return. It establishes expertise and trust, reduces sales friction, and builds loyal supporters that repeats the cycle. send book > leads > send book > builds supporters > supporters send leads > repeat

Can PPC Help SEO? No, PPC doesn’t help your SEO – at least not in a true sense. The problem is people associate PPC results with organic search potential, which often leads to unmet expectations. To give you an example, some marketers falsely believe that a high PPC click-through rate implies a high potential return on investment using those same keywords in an SEO campaign. What they don’t consider is the difference in buyer intent. ?? Leads that click on a paid ad are taking more of an impulsive action.?The landing page should capture their attention quickly, communicate value propositions, have a clear call-to-action, convert and get out. ?? SEO audiences are different. Search engine visitors like to be informed and make buying decisions based on comparison and research. While PPC can help you make some SEO-related decisions based around potential targets it does not directly influence your organic search performance. However, SEO can help improve your PPC results. ?? ??https://lnkd.in/ehpQNrFW #PPCandSEO #SearchMarketing #DigitalAdvertising #SEOInsights #MarketingBestPractices
