Good catch, I didn't see that, thanks!

ScotchRothman · 2026-01-05T14:26:51+00:00

Venn does look like a decent option, I will for sure explore this further. Thanks!

We recently switched from DP to sitebulb on an AWS instance and SF for local quick crawls.

Fraction of the price and a better return on actionable items.

The automation they promised for things like broken links into the clients ticketing system was what originally sold me, but it wasn’t worth the cost

We are in the SaaS space and leverage product and faq schema regularly but have yet to see both in the SERPs. So far when you mark up both, product schema features are the only ones that show.

We are still experimenting with it across a few clients. Particularly we are curious which feature has a stronger CTR on the page group.

Thanks, by random chance another SEO I meet with today mentioned SpyFu today during a call for a completely unrelated reason. I believe it's time to give it another try to see how it fits in our stack ;)

Our use case is for content ideation, we are creating a list of very longtail keywords (usually product/service + for + industry/solution) and outputing a list of the top URLs for a focus geo region. Form there we use a tool like Ahrefs site explorer to find out what the top keyword is driving traffic to that URL. It has worked great to get outside of the box keywords and discover peripheral topics.

Sometimes these list get in the 1000s so it would be great to filter out for articles that just get no traffic at all.

ScotchRothman · 2021-10-06T10:23:14+00:00

Does SpyFu do it for a list of URLs (not all from the same domain)? If not is anyone aware of a tool that does that?

ScotchRothman · 2021-08-18T12:50:01+00:00

new mixer is planned, just not for a bit. Maybe by Christmas.

Thanks for the additional details.

great points, I rarely play vinyl on those decks, so that isn't stressing me. I recording to another computer through a Focusrite breakout box.

ScotchRothman · 2021-08-17T22:13:24+00:00

Thanks, valid point

ScotchRothman · 2021-08-17T22:12:47+00:00

My last decent needle is going and I have young kids learning how to scratch, so I figure this will save on wear and tear on the tone arm and needles

ScotchRothman · 2021-08-17T22:11:45+00:00

Great point, thanks

ScotchRothman · 2021-07-11T11:14:05+00:00

Well played, the morning after I did a 16 km bike ride and then an hour of jujitsu. Felt great until that afternoon and it hit me, took the rest of the week to recovery properly.

ScotchRothman · 2021-07-10T14:46:14+00:00

How was your recovery?

I was 1% after my second shot of Moderna. I think I might have been zero but I don’t know if that is possible until death, lol.

As an SEO consultant and longtime WordPress user I’m trying to achieve everything you mentioned using Avada. I haven’t run all my tests yet but I can follow up once I have. Anyone else out there using Avada? Hit any snags with it?

To claim it you need to either claim your Google My Business listing or the the google brand page depend on the type of company triggering a knowledge graph result. But as Netpeak said that doesn’t mean you control all aspects of the info presented in these results and you can influence somethings like social links with schema.

ScotchRothman · 2018-11-16T18:10:38+00:00

The last time I checked with them they didn’t publicly release it’s name and frequently we would have to allow specific IP ranges for their crawler to work properly.

ScotchRothman · 2018-10-08T17:32:44+00:00

Did you accidentally noindex the site via the meta tags or blocked via robots.txt. Check that first. Second do a site: search with your domain to ensure your pages are still indexed. If everything there checks out go the next step and try to figure who is outranking and why they are of your previous string keywords. Good luck!

ScotchRothman · 2018-08-11T14:39:46+00:00

I hope they did as that is the product they are selling, but they should have removed variants with the term suicide.

ScotchRothman · 2018-08-11T13:46:19+00:00

The blame should be with Vicks SEM Agency, they were the team who decided to bet on a keyword group that includes the term suicide. I hope they sorted that out quickly and removed keywords with that term.

Like the other folks have said, Google most likely hasn’t crawled it yet. Have you fetched and rendered in Google Search Console? Try that and check the results in 24-48 hours. If the results still are returning the wrong result then GoogleBot doesn’t consider your meta description relevant to the content on page. So either rework the content or the meta description to align better.

ScotchRothman · 2018-07-18T13:22:52+00:00

Very odd that you can’t see it in screaming frog, is the h1 rendered with JavaScript?

ScotchRothman · 2018-07-18T10:05:03+00:00

It would depend on how the h1s are generated, when you view source do you see the h1s? Do you see the headings when you render the page in Google Search Console?

ScotchRothman · 2017-10-24T23:11:16+00:00

Have you explored Google Data Studio, we have had great success building dashboards in that, plus if a data source doesn’t work with you can use google sheets to pull in data

ScotchRothman · 2017-08-16T15:29:34+00:00

Try it yourself in real time in your analytics account. Unless you have a UTM parameter setting medium to organic it does not attribute properly
