Hi,

I paid for a service to get backlinks. On Fiverr. I know. I fucked up. I'm not even defending my actions, it was a spur of moment decision at midnight. Rankings dropped. No more response from seller whose last words were that Moz is outdated (three days after the backlinks, my Moz authority dropped from 22 to 11).

I fucked up. I am sorry. I want the links gone, and have asked the seller to take them down. I deserve what I got, but would this prevent my website from sinking further in the keyword? Is there anything that can help me slowly regain my authority? I fucked up, and again, I'm sorry.

Many will be pissed off what I will say, but the hidden "gems" of the world of SEO, it seems, can not be found with Ahrefs, semrush, Moz or majestic.

All of these tools are based on prediction models, and compared to Google Webmaster Console, Ahrefs is 60% lack on finding the quality backlinks which hold rankings on the project.

I want to share a handy tool that only the rich and big players in the SEO world have access to.

This tool is AccuRanker.com

Now, what makes this tool so unique.

You don't need keyword research because you have a unique feature that allows you to get hands-on on any keyword you target.

For example, if you target keyword shoes, it gives you long-tail keywords, suggesting 6-10 long tails keywords. And this suggestion goes all the way long because AccuRanker has over 24 billion keywords in the research data.

Another cool feature is that you get what competitors are ranking for on the fly.

Now let's go to a really cool feature I want to share as some options which can be very handy to marketers to rank their projects as a share of voice of tone as feature and PPC bid.

Read below how this can help you.

On PPC campaigns, discover which keywords you should after, such as creating a new fresh project or establishing which keywords to push more with work to rank more.

So you are getting info from first hand to suggest which keyword to target.

A remarkable feature of running a PPC campaign is setting up the CPC bid price after one crawling and establishing the range of keywords you are ranking for.

For example, if you set up for a specific keyword CPC bid 1.20$, the AI of AccuRanker is automatically determining what CPC will be sufficient to get 1 spot on paid ads. So setting up the price of 1.21$ will secure your top spot over the course of the day. Remember, each day and the CPC can vary.

Voice of tone is a new feature of AccuRanker that shares how much the keyword niche is already busy and gives you a "hunch" do you have some way to pass your competitors in rankings or not.

Look, guys, I've checked on all possible channels, and I think these metrics can be beneficial and handy and somehow is close to establishing the old Page Rank from Google.

Why?

Share of the voice of tone tells you whether the market you are going after is hard or you can easily rank. This metric is entirely different from the voice of tone when it is measured how much you can win from the market if you rank on top spots on Google SERP.

This is the opposite because it is a combination of the measurement of Google Keyword Planner and Google ads and AI of AccuRanker and Google operations as allintitle, site: , making AccuRanker a unique SERP and SEO Tool which is beating even Golden Ratio Keyword system.

AccuRanker is not just a rank checker on Google, Bing, Yandex, or Youtube.

If it is a lower number, this means you can easily make a break trough in that particular niche.

Google uses search data to inform placement of your website in the search results. As people click on your website, Google takes note of the following analytics: Bounce Rate, Average time on site, number of page views and so on. If someone clicks through to your site and bounces right away, it tells Google your content isn’t relevant to the keyword being searched. When a lot of data is compiled about your sites performance over a lot of keywords, the results of this analytical study will determine your ranking.

Your sites rankings are being constantly updated according to these metrics so it makes sense that having a strategy to optimize your rankings on your main keywords is vital to your success. The following strategy will help you rank better for your keywords by using Micro Influencers. See below!

Step One: Keyword Research and Tracking

The first step is to identify what keywords you want to focus on. You should choose keywords that you already rank on as the method we are discussing won’t work unless you are already ranked on these keywords. Once you figure out what keywords you want to optimize, do a search for each keyword and figure out what page you are ranked on. Write this information down as you will need it later.

Step Two: Segment Influencers into Keyword groupings

Assign specific Influencers a specific keyword or group of keywords that you want them to focus on. You’ll need about 200 Influencers per keyword. The same Influencers can search for up to 5 keywords each from their IP address.

Step Three: Have Influencers complete specific instructions

Influencers will need to follow the steps outlined below:

1. Search for the keyword assigned

2. Click through all the pages until they find your listing

3. Click on your listing

4. Spend one minute on your home page and then click through to another page

5. Visit at least 6 pages and spend at least five minutes on the website

6. Leave the website up on the browser without closing it

7. Open a new search window and search the other keywords using the same process

Spread this process out over a two week period by utilizing groups of Influencers to take these steps at different time intervals.

ADDITIONAL SEO STRATEGIES USING MICRO INFLUENCERS

In addition to the strategy outlined above, you can also use Influencers to help build authority by taking the following actions:

Article Syndication

Have your Influencers share your blog posts and articles on Facebook and Twitter. This will help build social proof that your content is relevant and authoritative. You’ll need to generate about 200 shares per article to help build authority. This will also generate a great deal of traffic. Each Facebook share should generate 39 - 100 clicks. When your campaign uses a few thousand Influencers, this can generate a huge amount of traffic.

Third Party Article Syndication

When other blogs or websites write about you, it’s vital to make these links more authoritative as well. Have a few hundred Influencers share these articles to build better link authority for the pages linking to your website. Customers who see a third party recommendation of your products or services are more likely to use your services or products themselves.

Social Authority

Micro Influencers can help you build more social authority by following you in social media and then engaging with your content. As you build more influencer based followers, all of your content will generate more engagement. This has the immediate effect of helping your social media content rank better in the Hashtag search results where you will gain more organic followers. As your social media account authority increases, so will your site authority.

Link Building

A lot of the Influencers we engage with are bloggers. These bloggers can write articles about your company and post them on their blog. This provides your website with a valuable backlink and access to a new group of potential customers. Influencers also create video content about your company, upload it to YouTube and then link to your website in the video description. These videos are then shared in social media and build more link authority.

Reviews

You can have Influencers leave reviews for your business on Yelp, Google, Facebook and other review websites.

These are just a few of the ways you can utilize Micro Influencers for your SEO needs. When I run SEO campaigns, I utilize a minimum of 5,000 Micro Influencers and make sure they are all in my niche by finding Influencers through targeted Facebook and Instagram ads. I’ve been able to get my acquisition costs down to about .28 cents each in the US. There is a whole other strategy for acquiring Influencers though that we will have to save for another day! I hope this gives you some ideas on using Micro Influencers for your SEO goals. I can attest that it works and is all above board. The Micro Influencers we use are all in the US, they are real people from seperate Class C IP Clusters and very active in social media. You can’t fake this strategy using bots or fake followers, it won’t work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I want my blog to be independent of Google search results for traffic. They have made policies that damage authentic content creators, in favor of big establishments. In half the niche they have said we won't even show you in the search results even if you wrote the greatest blog post in the history of mankind.

Eg. Health , Finance, Medical, Suicide, Russia, China.

So, I want nothing to do with them. I'll even remove their Google search console from my website. I want zero traffic from them.

And when I'll get traffic from other sources, I'll monetize it using non Google ad providers.

So, tell me where I am getting the traffic from? I write authentic, heart felt content. If people don't like my writing, then I want zero traffic. But if people do like my writing, then I want tons of traffic. But where will I get the traffic from?

1. Title tag

2. Meta description

3. URL structure

4. SSL

5. Keyword in URL

6. Image alt tag

7. H1, H2, and H3

8. Long tail keywords

9. Synonyms and LSI keywords

10. Broken links

11. Loading speed of the website

12. Content quality

13. Content lenth

14. Valuable content

15. Avoid duplicate content

16. Users’ experience

17. External Linking

18. Internal Linking

19. Social Engagement

What I said in the title

That's right, I just had a free SEM Rush review of my website! How you may ask?

Well I went to yell and added my business there. Then one of their staff called me back, did a screen sharing and talked me through all of the changes they would make to my site while using SEM rush.

So save yourself $99 per month, and do this :D

Gemini is a disaster and is bias. It makes me question google rankings now.

SEO has been dying since the early 2000s.

Some notable "deaths" include:

- Web 3.0

- Google Ads-

Social media

- Voice assistants

Featured snippets

- Zero-click searches

- Every Google update

- TikTok "the new search"

-ChatGPT replacing Google

- AI Overviews in result pages

Here's the reality:

- 15% of searches are brand new

- Searches grow by ~10% every year

- There are 8.5B Google searches daily

- SEO is a $100B+ industry (and growing)

- Search engines and SEO will always evolve

- Search habits will take a long time to change

Block out the noise.

Continue learning, consistently repeating the fundamentals, and adapting to new technologies.

SEO is only “dead” for those who don't.

This is my prediction. There will be no search engines. Only AI pages like ChatGPT, Google Bard, or Anthropic Claude.

If people want info, the AI pages will provide the info. There will be no links to Wikipedia or Reddit, Forbes etc, because their existing info has already been fed to the AI. Maybe the only links will be to the very latest Wikipedia, Reddit, Forbes pages etc that hasn't yet been scraped.

The only links in SERP will all be to businesses. And even then, the AI would have scraped all business info, so AI can answer any questions about the business, such as products available, contact details, refund policy, and opening hours. So people won't even need to visit business webpages anymore.

The only other type of links in SERPs would be the very latest news or info that has not been scraped yet. But the AI will be continuously scraping new information to feed itself, and once it has scraped the latest news or info pages, those pages will no longer show up in SERP.

So basically, AI will answer almost all queries, apart from queries where the very latest info has not been scraped yet.

So all the people with existing sites and currently trying to build blogs and content sites (myself included) - all you're really doing is building content that will eventually feed AI. Yes, at the moment your sites might show up in the SERP, but once AI scrapes your site and feeds on your content, your site will stop showing up in the SERPs. Only sites with info that has not yet been scraped will show up, and then they will disappear.

I give it 1-2 years before AI makes almost all internet content sites obsolete, because it has already devoured their content.

The future is bleak.

EDIT: And I'm betting that Google will be dominant, because their bots have crawled and cached a large part of the Internet for decades, while other AI companies have only scraped for about 2 years (or for however long they've existed), so are far behind Google. Time to buy Google stocks.

I am looking for SEO services but am hesitant to provide access to my website. I am skeptical about giving access to anyone on my website, is there any way someone could do SEO without any website access?

Its over. Finito.

Thanks for all those valuable moments but its over. They will never come back.

Its you. And me.

Bring the hate but I'm not wrong

If you're telling people that Technical SEO/Publishing maintenance is the number one factor in your clients SEO: you're basically saying that your client is doing all the SEO and your website keeps breaking it and is holding it up....

Pure and simple.

if you're doing SEO off a SEMrush "health report" (90% of which is FUD Fantasy) - you're not doing SEO. You're consuming your clients marketing budget in repairs....;

This observation can only come from web publishers who are completely inept or a badly managed/created Web install?

Here's what happened:

1. The new Unhelpful Content Update is said to target SEO-first sites. Meaning, the very sites that literally answer the questions that Google lists as suggestions based on what people search.

I repeat: Google targets DIRECTLY the sites that answer the questions that people ask.

2. Google put REDDIT, Quora and Forums above those sites because people were typing - "keyword + reddit" in the search box.

So, it's not fine for people to use the suggestions, but it's fine for Google to make an update based on those suggestions. LMFAO

What you want to tell me?

That my 1500 article with 3 tables is less helpful than the 100-300 words some Redditor wrote while beating one to cat porn?

It's obvious that Google does this for money. It pushes people down and down so that it can display more of its ads.

It gives the traffic to Reddit and other big sites to hide what it's doing. As if Reddit doesn't have enough traffic already.

Hi there,

I've read countless PR link building strategy posts in SEO groups. As the owner of a small team of developers and writers, today, I wanted to share a recent success story of ours.

Although I've shifted my focus from SEO to web development, I recently incorporated a web tool into an almost dead site. The result? This month it generated about 200K in traffic. (link in comments)

What's the magic? I've found that adding relevant web applications to existing websites with some authority can generate more pageviews than all the site's other pages combined.

Shameless plug: If you're interested in this approach or have an idea you'd like to implement, our team can help create custom tools or websites on any CMS platform.

Say hi! I'd love to connect with others who have leveraged the power of web assets for backlinks.

Hi guys, according to an article written by Search Engine Land, Google has reversed its position on AI written articles. Google previously said articles written by ChatGPT weren't allowed for SEO purposes, but now it's saying it's ok.

Using AI to write articles definitely cuts down on costs. I no longer have to hire a writer on Upwork or Fiverr.

Every time I hear that from wannabe SEO with no sites to their name.

Bitch please, it took them 3 days to slice our traffic by 50%, now we waiting months to get a 10% increase at best?

Nah.

You wait.

We waited long enough. We waited since last year.

So, please grab the hand of Jhohn Muu and Danny and wait.

Real Gs waited.

Google has PLENTY of computing power to end an update in DAYS.

So, no. I am not waiting.

Already working in a saw mill factory for months - better than google-slaving.

Peace.

My girls complained that if you type “massage Dominion Rd” into Google our parlour doesn’t come up, I’m always trying to keep the girls happy so I looked into getting SEO help.

Found Pure SEO online & messaged them and a sales rep was onsite within 24 hours with a hard-sell sales pitch. They emailed me pages and pages of info and somehow I accidentally “electronically” signed it one night (after a couple bottles of wine ouch 😬).

My accountant says don’t pay them another cent and I’m a sucker, they just saw an easy target. Excluding during COVID we’re quieter now than ever so I don’t see how Pure SEO have given me any value for money.

The sales guy sat in my lounge saying how if it didn’t work and my business went bankrupt or whatever they wouldn’t keep pursuing me for ongoing payments, so I thought they were reasonable, but now after I told them in writing I don’t want anything to do with them, they’re still in my face.

A few years ago I had a lease and the landlord didn’t want to continue the lease and requested early vacancy. I said “but we have a lease” & he said “yes, but we can agree between ourselves to end the lease early”. So I started looking for another premises. Nothing wrong with being reasonable, right? I don’t see any difference between that and this.

Does anyone else have bad experiences with Pure SEO?

There's way too much fear mongering and yet somehow that seems to be the popular story to pass around. No, Google isn't dead, just because it's gone through a bunch of updates and the rules are slightly different, doesn't mean that there is millions of users being served satisfactory results every day, and therefore plenty of websites getting recognition.

Adapt. Learn the new rules.

Hello everyone,
