Actually 100%. It's so hard to speak with SEOs who are in that groove about any ideas outside that groove.

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...

We tripled sales over past year with just old school organic but our customers are old and our competition is slow to change. We bought some schemas from Daryl Osborne and changed names of things based on Ted's feedback, and our categories started showing up underneath in SERPs, we're appearing...

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.

Here are 50+ opportunities to inject keywords into Youtube. I make no claims to the effects — only that Youtube may potentially read your keyword data. I tend to max out everything and results seem good. Attached, a video I posted a day ago. Wishing you all same results or better. Thumbnail...

Testing these, here's results from a couple of the test videos. Pretty radical. These are short impromptu videos, zero production. Title hooks definitely work when used in a prompt. Hope you all are getting same results.

Curiosity Gap / Open Loop Example: "I Almost Didn’t Upload This…" Urgency / FOMO Example: "Watch This Before It Gets Taken Down" Authority / Credibility Example: "Advice From a YouTube Employee You’ve Never Heard" Social Proof Example: "Why Millions of Creators Are Switching to This Tool"...

One last update since I know folks like to see data unfold. Still maintaining >40% engagment. This video is just a generic 12 minute product unboxing video (nothing valuable). But earnings exceed cost of production for the client — so the initial cost of audience building is now being recouped...

Posting an update so anyone interested can see how the engagement ratio changes over first couple days and how it monetizes. It's hard to maintain 60%. Anything above 40% is fine.

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...

Clint spoke about these a bit on the latest Digitaleer

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. If you have a specific need check if Google API covers it because it's easy to get ChatGPT to spin a python script for Google API. I have a few...

I've been working hard on creating a direct connection between video SEO and sales. Just sharing some results. Image is funky because I blurred but: 1) For 15 items we made 10 videos 2) 7 of the items featured in videos sold within days Not a proper test, but promising. Client had record sales...

Totally untested but I ranked a fresh EMD in 72 hours with a couple free PRs this week. We got #2 with PRs at 3,4,5. I doubt they will hold.

The impact so far has been huge but it's all local stuff with zero existing SEO so that's not proof of anything. I ranked a fresh EMD from scratch in a few days this week but the term wasn't super competitive so again not proof. Painting company. Need more testing to really prove anything for...
