How would you react if I told you that Google hates slow-loading sites? Yes, you heard that right. In this episode, we're tackling the often overlooked importance of site speed in SEO. 

 We'll explore how Google's user-centric approach places a high value on quick, snappy websites that deliver not just the right answers, but also a smooth user experience. 

In the following part of our chat, we'll get hands-on with tools like Google's Page Speed Insights and Pingdom Website Speed Test - invaluable resources that will help you assess your site's performance. We'll also delve into some practical hacks to supercharge your website speed, from the simple act of compressing your images to the more complex task of enabling browser caching and employing a content delivery network (CDN).

Ever felt confused about the SEO world's terms - white hat, black hat, and even the grey area in between? We trace back the origins of these terms to 1950s Western films and how they've evolved into SEO terminology today. 

We'll dissect the potential implications of employing black hat techniques, highlighting their impact on the longevity of your project. Also, we dive into the darker side of black hat SEO, where techniques can cross into illegal territory. Whether you're a white hat, a black hat, or somewhere in the grey area, this episode will offer a clear understanding of where you stand and your risk appetite.

13 Oct 2023Helpful Content Update - some early findings00:08:38

Send us a text

What if there's a pattern hidden within the Google Helpful content update that can drastically impact your website's SEO? Join me, Edd Dawson, as we meticulously analyze the update's effects on my various websites and how they are monetized. Surprisingly, it appears that sites monetized purely by affiliate weren't negatively affected, while those with display ads saw reduced traffic. Intriguingly, my newest, unmonetized sites experienced a significant boost in traffic as the update concluded.

Are display ads the culprit behind the slump in traffic? I'll be testing this hypothesis by removing display ads from several sites and observing the results. While I navigate this SEO maze, you can glean valuable insights that could potentially revolutionize your own SEO strategies. As the situation unravels, stay tuned for updates and never hesitate to reach out with your own observations or questions. After all, SEO isn't that hard - let's navigate it together!

23 Oct 2023Deciphering E-E-A-T with Google Patents00:19:10

Send us a text

Ever wondered how Google determines the ranking order of web content? We will reveal how EEAT - experience, expertise, authority, and trust - guides this process. We'll discuss how the addition of the second 'E' for experience in 2022 has redefined content ranking. We'll also explore the endemic issue of credibility in author bios and examine two intricate patents - generating author vectors and generating website representation vectors - that we believe are strongly tied to EEAT.

In the second half of our conversation, I'll guide you on how to assert yourself as a topical authority. We'll underline the importance of creating content depth to ensure accurate categorization by Google. We'll also discuss the significance of authorship, and how it may not be the ultimate solution for content issues. We'll examine Google patents and their algorithm direction, but remember, a patent doesn’t guarantee full implementation.

Send us a text

Are you ready to turn your website into a golden goose? I'm Ed Dawson, here to guide you through the labyrinth of display ads, showing you how they can be your website's cash cow. I'll introduce you to these ads, their various types and how they function. You'll grasp how they generate income, either via cost per click (CPC) or revenue per thousand impressions (RPM), and become familiar with some jargon in the display advertising world. You'll realize that setting up display ads is a piece of cake compared to affiliate marketing, with the entire process taken care of once you sign up with a display network.

Join me as I walk you through the process of getting display ads on your website, beginning with Google's AdSense network, famed for its ease of entry. We'll also explore networks like Monumetric, Mediavine, and Raptive, which may offer higher RPMs but require certain traffic levels. Together, we'll delve into maximizing your earnings and discuss how various factors, such as your website traffic, niche, users' geographical location, and economic factors, impact your income. Towards the end, I share my journey using display ads and identify the best time to incorporate them into your website. So, if you're seeking ways to make your website an income generator, this is the podcast episode you need to tune into!

Do you know what happens when a visitor clicks on a link that leads to a page that no longer exists on your website? They're met with a dreaded 404 error message, a dead-end that can frustrate users and harm your website’s reputation with search engines. But there's a simple solution - 301 redirects.

Whether you're an ecommerce store owner considering product page deletion or thinking about a change in your website's URL structure, this episode will be a valuable guide. So get ready, because we're going to ensure you're maximizing the value of your content and maintaining the user experience at the highest level.

We dive in by discussing a common conundrum - why, despite having amazing content, some posts struggle to establish authority. The culprit? WordPress's inherent structure. You'll learn how the reverse chronological order of posts can create a disconnect between related posts, making it tricky for both users and Google to find pertinent content. 

We'll explore the importance of site architecture, and why I advocate for using pages over posts. Uncover how to leverage a parent-child relationship with pages, which leads to the creation of a rich architecture for topical authority. There's also a discussion on how to use posts for time-sensitive content, and some tips for those looking to transition their content from posts to pages. Whether you're starting anew or reconfiguring an existing site, you'll gain valuable insights on enhancing your site's topical authority. Tune in and let's unravel the mysteries of WordPress together.

Send us a text

Navigating the shadowy labyrinth of SEO tactics can be daunting, but fear not, for I, Ed Dawson, am here to illuminate the path. Journey with me as we explore the controversial world of Private Blog Networks (PBNs), a black hat SEO strategy shrouded in risk and the potential for severe penalties. With my extensive background in website development and monetization, I'll disclose the hidden dangers of using these networks and why they may compromise your site's integrity.

This episode is a deep dive into the mechanics of PBNs and their implications for your online presence. I'll discuss how PBNs are constructed, the allure of their short-term benefits, and the hefty price they come with—not just in maintenance costs but also in risking Google's wrath. If you're dedicated to cultivating a reputable and lasting online presence, you'll want to understand the perils of PBNs and how to sidestep these treacherous pitfalls. Join me in examining why white hat techniques prove to be the heroes of the SEO world, ensuring your climb up the search rankings is both ethical and enduring.

05 Apr 2024Managing Risk and Building for the Long Term00:13:35

Send us a text

Saddle up for a journey through the SEO wilds post-Google's March 2024 core update with me, Ed Dawson, at the helm. I’m peeling back the curtain on how to navigate the ever-changing landscape of search engine optimization, sharing war stories from two decades in the trenches. Get ready for real talk on white hat versus black hat strategies, and the risks and rewards that come with each—one misstep could be the difference between a thriving site and a Google ghost town.

As the dust settles on Google's latest algorithm shake-up, I dig into the nitty-gritty of what it means to build a sustainable SEO strategy that can weather the storm. Learn from my own close calls during the Penguin and Panda updates, where I saw nearly all traffic vanish overnight. It's a no-holds-barred lesson on the perils of short-term gains versus the payoff of playing the long game in SEO, so you can make informed decisions that keep your digital assets in the green for years to come.

08 Apr 2024The Labour Illusion - show your working00:11:04

Send us a text

Embark on a journey through the SEO landscape with me, Ed Dawson, where I peel back the layers of keyword clustering's evolution and reveal the game-changing approach we've adopted at KeywordsPeopleUse.com. Say goodbye to the misleading shortcuts of AI-based clustering, as we explore the detailed world of SERP clustering, where actual Google-recognized clusters come to light. This meticulous process might take longer, but the results are well worth your patience. Understanding the mechanics behind the scenes can significantly enhance your search engine results, and I'm here to guide you through why it's a game-changer for your online strategy.

We also tackle the fascinating 'labor illusion' and its role in SEO. I'll share how transparency about our SERP clustering method not only educates but also adds perceived value to our work, even extending the wait time for results. A case study from BroadbandUK serves as a practical example of this phenomenon and how patience can result in greater user satisfaction and outcomes. If you're ready to invest in a more intelligent approach to SEO that delivers a richer harvest, let's uncover together the profound impact that understanding and patience can have on your digital presence.

Unlock the secrets of authentic SEO success as we navigate the murky waters of backlink acquisition. In the realm of search engine optimization, the line between ethical link building and the frowned-upon practice of buying backlinks is razor-thin. This episode sheds light on the crucial distinctions, highlighting why Google places such high value on natural, merit-based linking and how deviating from this can land your website in hot water. You'll gain insights into the algorithm's underpinnings and understand precisely why the search giant penalizes those who try to game the system.

As we expose the red flags of dubious link promises and dissect the implications of black hat tactics, I also weave in a personal tale illustrating the profound impact of digital PR and organic engagement. The journey of converting social media interactions into natural backlinks serves as a testament to the power of genuine relationships in the digital sphere. Prepare to arm yourself with the knowledge to bolster your web presence ethically, tapping into sustainable strategies that align with Google's vision of quality and relevance. No shortcuts, no quick fixes—just solid, actionable guidance for climbing the SEO ladder the right way.

Send us a text

Ever felt like your web pages are locked in a battle royale for Google's attention? That's keyword cannibalization, and it's eating up your SEO efforts! This episode is your guide through the murky waters of self-competing content, providing a deep dive into how multiple pages targeting the same keyword can trip up search engines and dilute your rankings. We untangle the web of similar but distinct search intents, like the fine line separating 'BT Broadband Deals' from 'BT Broadband Reviews', and illustrate why it's crucial for your website's architecture to strategically align with unique user intents for each page.

Roll up your sleeves as we map out a practical strategy to hunt down and tackle keyword cannibalization head-on. Using a mix of keyword clustering techniques and insights from Google Search Console, we'll show you how to spot where your content is clashing and cannibalizing its own performance. But fear not, we don't stop at diagnosis. This discussion is packed with actionable solutions, from consolidating competing pages to employing canonical tags and creating content that truly resonates with what your audience is searching for. By the time you're through with this episode, you'll be ready to enhance your SEO game and ensure your site's content feasts on search rankings, rather than itself.
