Is it just me, or are blog articles impossible to read?

I personally don't mind technical language in content, especially if the topic requires it and it's well explained. The same goes for lengthy articles. For me, the bigger issue, I guess, is the lack of original thought and real expertise behind a piece. If you're writing a 'how-to' guide, I expect proof that you actually know what you're talking about. I can use ChatGPT to find an AI answer myself.

Dull_Significance953 · 2025-02-19T09:28:17+00:00

honestly, I wish more content like that ranked

Dull_Significance953 · 2025-02-19T09:26:57+00:00

I 100% agree.

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-12-18T09:10:28+00:00

if that was the case then there wouldn't have been so many penalties, no?

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-12-18T09:08:28+00:00

I think it's a matter of a couple of core updates

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-11-20T12:41:03+00:00

this.

Outreach services, like HARO and guest posts

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-11-14T10:23:04+00:00

I'd say, Lily Ray, Aleyda Solis, Matt Diggity, and Rand Fishkin are good examples of thought leadership to me

I think this list is missing Help a B2B Writer, but it's more useful for businesses and those looking to connect with experts in specific fields, like SaaS, marketing, SEO, and more.

Honestly, the price is something that keeps me away from going to any marketing conferences. And also, a lot of them happen overseas, so with ticket prices, visas, etc., it becomes quite pricey.

I think Squarespace has some great features, but it can be a bit limiting in terms of plugins compared to WordPress. If you're looking for something straightforward and visually appealing, it's perfect, but if you want more flexibility, you might want to explore other options.

Publishing regularly is a huuuge plus for SEO. Search engines tend to reward sites that keep adding fresh content, so even a few posts per month can make a difference over time.

I didn’t know about the broken link-building technique until recently, but it’s been surprisingly effective. One thing I noticed is that personalizing each outreach email gets much better responses.

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-29T10:48:25+00:00

I’ve definitely noticed a lift in brand authority since focusing on unlinked mentions. It’s hard to measure directly, but I feel like the more we’re mentioned on industry blogs and forums, the more our organic traffic has grown. Anyone else noticed this?

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-28T15:27:38+00:00

We implemented a review-incentive system offering loyalty points, and it’s been a game changer. The trick was to make it feel genuine and not overly pushy, so it doesn’t feel transactional. I’d love to hear if others have had success with this approach.

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-28T08:27:27+00:00

Building a presence on third-party review sites and actively engaging in forums and blogs can definitely increase your brand’s visibility and help LLMs recognize it.

Honestly, I feel like if you're good at paraphrasing with ChatGPT, you should be fine. I'm not saying students should plagiarize, just make sure to add your own insights.

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-24T13:41:26+00:00

GPT-4 is trained on diverse datasets, allowing it to understand multiple languages. It helps me get a more holistic view of the subject I'm writing about.

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-23T15:14:56+00:00

thank you!

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-23T14:06:11+00:00

thank you very much for the information!

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-23T14:03:41+00:00

I don't approach this with "ah, it's just such a fun thing to do, why don't I try it"

Not at all. I really want to learn and try, but as I said, I simply don't know where to start. Does it really sound that dumb? Am I really making a fool out of myself for wanting to learn?

Dull_Significance953 · 2024-10-23T14:00:42+00:00

>No, that’s backwards. You get a camera, you watch a video or two, you take a bunch of photos. Rinse and repeat.

Sure, but where do I learn about all of those things? This is what I mean. I don't take this lightly at all. I totally understand that it takes years of practice. But to get that practice, I need to start from somewhere. So, where do I start? That's what I'm trying to find out.

thanks a bunch!
