    Google very slow to process redirects?

    Charles Taylor mentioned on Fight Club that Google's URL Removal Tool will quickly hide URLs from search results but does not actually remove the URLs from Google's index. It hides the URLs from search results for about 180 days, during which time they will not appear in Google Search, but...

    Google AI Mode - Is this intended to replace traditional Google search?

    We tripled sales over past year with just old school organic but our customers are old and our competition is slow to change.

    Google AI Mode - Is this intended to replace traditional Google search?

    I feel like the end value of chasing latest and greatest right now varies wildly by niche. My main client's niche has not seen any change, same players, same shuffle. But I have other clients who's niches have been affected greatly.

    Just thought I would share this. I had another channel hit 60% engagement this week. attached. This channel doesn't follow a single rule of "video SEO". The titles, descriptions, and tags are all long and wordy, maxxed out. There are no facial expressions in the thumbnails or AI. Humanless...

    SEO Tools

    Have never used YACCS but Jesper is an amazing guy, replies to all questions on FB, etc. We have SEMrush I've never felt it lacked anything we needed.

    What makes this PR strategy better? 12 PRs, 12 weeks, 12 services.

    I do a thing for clients where I post one PR per week for 12 weeks, I use different service for each one.
