Hey people!

How do you get the meaning out of the long tail keyword?

Like transforming a text string into a very basic concept - a search intent.

Is it hard to be the only in the family?

Many SEOs link to similar content in their supplemental content lists.

As if a user who just read how to cook rice would also want to know how to cook buckwheat...

The better approach is to link to correlational content - think of this real-world example:

  1. Where to party >
  2. How not to get drunk too fast >
  3. Where to eat late at night in London >
  4. How to recover from a hangover.

How long would you live if you ate only the food made by following the recipes from recipe articles?

Yes, Google sees search getting better and SEOs see it getting worse.

That's because Google treats SEOs differently from the rest of the world.

So yes, many of you don't suspect that we're just user personas that Google is serving the SERPs we deserve.

Google is teaching us all a lesson by trying to demonstrate how searchers feel when they visit our shitty SEO-first sites.

Can Google be held accountable for what it shows in the SERPs, whether it's AI Overview or Featured Snippets, if it takes the data from third parties?

If someone dies from eating glue, drinking urine, or committing suicide based on the advice shown in the SERP, who's responsible?

So much on lately. Lots of pseudo agencies/SEOs pushing their spammy articles as if it's link building...

SEO Horoscope?!?

🌌🔮🌠

I've asked ChatGPT to give me my horoscope for next week based on who I follow on Mastodon...

The results blew me away in terms of good laughs.

Here's the SEO horoscope I got:

Describe the color green to a blind person.

This is a critical thinking question from an job interview.

How would you answer it?

This is one of the best travel sites I used: visitingvienna.com

I read it over and over again before and during my New Year's trip to Vienna, Austria last winter. And this site made my family vacation brilliant.

You can call it a niche site.

But it's not made to rank, it doesn't use the same tricks of over-optimizing to death. No fluff, no lame intros.

Check it out, folks.
What do you think of it?

There is no such thing as meta title.

There is no need to document this process!

Why document what I know like the back of my hand?

Ok ok, I'll document it, but it's just a waste of time.

...

(And then revisits the documented process weekly to save time and speed up the work)

That's me.

Someone said they would never hire fat people, explaining that overweight people could not be trusted because if they lost the most precious thing in life - their body, their health - how could you trust them not to ruin the business they were hired to do?

While I don't endorse this opinion, I have to admit that it has been on my mind for about a year now.

I mean, I've been thinking about my body and my health.

Many people make the same mistake I did

They try to learn & succeed in just by reading & listening to others.

Unfortunately, this isn't effective.

Knowledge accumulates & is stored much better when you write down what you've heard or seen & try to implement & test what you've learned.

You heard something... and you forgot it.

But if you take the time to write or talk about it, you force your brain to process, digest, & rethink the information, & it is more likely to stay with you.

I've just found a highly profitable niche with a large pool of low KD and high search volume keywords that I know nothing about and have no experience in, so I'll just AI-generate 600 articles and publish them in 1 month...

Hmm, yeah
