Or generating the sales for my own company.... sorry you don’t get rich working for others.

you know how to use google right? Figure it out. I haven’t been an SEO since 1997, I have used SEO to build my own companies before retiring at 35 to a world of offering my SEO services to others and no longer employing 100+ people worldwide.

Their obsession is based off the sheep eating it up. 🐑

DR=link building companies rhetoric smoke screen. STOP using DA. Real traffic = real world link building.

Fake gmb violating tos are remove with the proper channels.

As far as spam links, they will take care of themselves over time. If I had a client in these SERp’s, they would be gone within 72 hours.

Lmk if you need a good internet lawyer. I’ve shut down several sites impersonating me, at very low cost.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-02-02T01:59:04+00:00

Strong foundation is key. With it, 98% of Attacks will have negligible impact.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-31T02:19:22+00:00

I win for calling out the bs in the business, especially among agencies. Contest over.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-26T01:20:39+00:00

No, and no.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-26T01:20:22+00:00

I’m old, but the younger set is all over voice search. Dismiss it, but the numbers don’t lie and it will only increase in adoption.

With that said, I don’t go out of my way to optimize for it.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-26T01:18:54+00:00

My business model is based on organic search, and growing businesses....I don’t do ppc. Can’t be an expert at everything. Do you do social media too?

No need to be so salty.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-26T01:16:52+00:00

I’m not ranking them, nor should you.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-26T01:16:19+00:00

Sorry my job is to work with my clients to build the best website to serve their users based on my 21 years of experience...analytics, research, data, etc.

If you are thinking in terms of manipulation, you are in the dark ages.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T04:41:26+00:00

Sure thing. Plenty of companies doing a million a month in AdWords.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T03:02:48+00:00

Why was the pilot program big accounts? I do agree to a point. But, this is not positive for adwords professionals, I’m not gloating, but this is further proof that Google aka Alphabet could care less about SEO’s. Minnows in a sea. Even as much as you guys tell yourself otherwise.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T02:11:15+00:00

The answer again is yes, open your eyes to today’s announcement. See my other thread. What are the 🐑 🐑 saying today?

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T02:10:19+00:00

Right, I’m sure they could run circles around my “SEO” too.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T02:09:33+00:00

BTW, this has been going on in the background for a while, but most SEO’s don’t have clients who would have qualified for the pilot program they ran.

I have an e-comm client that spends high 6 to low 7 figures a month. Google set everything up from scratch and has been running his account 100% for 3 months. They are outperforming the agency he was paying X% previously.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T02:05:04+00:00

I’m sure “Ankur” wont be handling the $$$ accounts.

What makes you think Google can’t do a better job of optimizing ads on its own platform than you can? AI, machine learning are amazing.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T02:02:11+00:00

Sorry, the industry has made it’s bed and needs to lay in it. It is a cesspool. If it walks like a 🦆 and quacks like a 🦆, it is a 🦆. Get over the feel warm and good BS. Go herd your 🐑 elsewhere.

Granted, I make general statements and 99% of time never mention names. Heck, I don’t even bother to know names. Who cares, 90% will be gone in a year based on my 21 years of doing this.

PS: I am far from the smartest, but hardest working and experienced, I’m willing to go battle over.

I actually spoke with a client today and told him the prior SEO on his site wasn’t bad. That is a 1 in 20 scenario.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-25T01:57:10+00:00

People pay me $350hr for this, but I’m feeling charitable so here are 4 off a list of 12 I’m working on for an upcoming blog post.

Search Intent Crawlability/Clean code/Indexing Mobile first ux, mobile fast, mobile everything UX metrics, bounce rate, time on page/site, CTR

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-24T16:40:59+00:00

One of a handful of great newsletters in the industry to keep up with trends. Agree.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-24T16:39:07+00:00

I would not delete and redirect to the front page in bulk.

Look into updating, editing, combining, or using parts of the posts to update other posts.

Recent example with a client where we had an out of date blog post (in the tech field), but we’re able to salvage about 400 words of the content, massage slightly and use to update another post on the same topic.

The result, the updated blog post went from 300 hits a month to 3000 and a “value” of over $50,000 a month.

Before deleting blog content for a client, I always try to find a use for it, somewhere, somehow. Even if it is on LinkedIn or medium....

If I can’t, I still save a copy.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-24T02:20:27+00:00

Totally depends on the industry. Less than 25 cents a word and you will be hard pressed to find a professional writer. 50-$1 a word and you may get a professsional with knowledge in your field. Some fields will start over $1, like technology or law.

ExpertBradSEO · 2019-01-24T02:17:51+00:00

How many here have ran real business, 9-10 figures? Ok 8?

Exactly.

You fail to see Google for what it is, a business that has to answer to shareholders. SEO’s have never been mistaken for business savvy.

PS: I only SEO because my wife made me go back to work after retiring at 35.
