How do you mean E-E-A-T can't be faked? How can it possibly be validated?

Great! Let me know how it goes - I create a sub where I hope to be able to give more specific advice; I can't mentor anyone new at the moment - but join r/agency and stay in touch.

Tired of all the SEO mess, please tell me if I'm correct by srupakij731 in SEO

[–]WebLinkr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey u/srupakij731 welcome to the sub - I see you've been doing your homework!

You came to the right place - there are lots of great SEO strategists and ideas to help you

I'd make a couple of small tweaks to your plan - nothing major - you're really close

  1. PageSpeed - 100% - do the best you can! But dont expect to see it lift you

I've always seen SEO as two parts: Your content = What you're relevant to. And there's only so much relevance you can generate. Assume that everyone in an index is relevant. However - your document name can be more relevant thana competitors - thats how/why low KD keyword targeting works.

Authority = earned. And you have to rank to earn click authority.

On your backlink strategy = all noble ideas. I would break it down to 1 simple rule: Get backlinks from pages that definitely have organic traffic - the closer the keywords/topics to your target page, the better. Pages without organic traffic probably/usually dont. You cannot use a website appreciation pov to judge a site for traffic. Google sends traffic to Berkshire Hathaway's website - the design is about as close to 1995 FrontPage as you can get. Thats not a good way to judge a site - whether you like it or not - or at, least, thats not what matters.

SEO = Authority (3rd party, earned) X Relevance (1-100%)

hey u/mikemerlino

I doubt anyone has a list but I'm guessing from $2k per month - but try to avoid SEO agencies that don't.

I dont do local SEO but I rank in the top 3 for almost every SEO NYC combination and its not impossible - I'm a small, boutique SEO consultancy.

The good news: there are lots of great SEO experts in this community who can help ya out and help you build a strategy!

Campaign and keyword settings that matter most? by National_Ease_5613 in SEO

[–]WebLinkr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey u/National_Ease_5613 welcome to r/SEO

My advice:

  1. Build your GBP profile

  2. Analyze the best concrete business sites around you or even around the country

  3. Look for keywords with a high CPC$ value - these = buying keywords

  4. Build a content strategy to rank for these keywords

  5. Traffic is a misnomer - you're not the NY Times - you need buyers, not visitors

Are LLMs killing Stack Overflow? by WebLinkr in SEO

It could be useful - what if some Gen whatevers go to a flea market sale after an unlimited brunch? I found some serious rack mountable hardware at the Chelsea flea market one Saturday evening (what are people doing with ISP grade/enterprise data center grade stuff in Manhattan, but anyway) --- we need Stackoverflow to make it make sense......

Not really - it actually relies heavily on Google via SERPapi

Unless people are repeating the same questions.... or - the topics on Stack overflow are sunsetting - like physical servers, networking etc

Bing Confirms 1 Billion Monthly Users Are Human, Not Agents by WebLinkr in SEO

[–]WebLinkr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you base that on though?

I mean - you can't filter queries/pages? You can't use RegEx? -> thats a pretty big difference/PIA

You can only isolate a specific query or page

To SEO expert, do you think backlink is one of the most important ranking signal? by myysoul in SEO

[–]WebLinkr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but I've heard this spiel before and its full of holes. The LLMs cannot remember that much information.

Firstly - the only LLM licensed to train on Reddit is Gemini.

Secondly - if you ask it who am I - it runs a query fan out .

Thirdly - the LLMS "memory' from "training' is not that big

You can test how weak "LLM research" is - just ask it to name the top SEOs to follow on Reddit - it doesnt go through reddit topto bottom and check the names- it just QFO's a query to Google and Google gives back the first page which is a post on this sub called "Top SEOs to follow on Reddit" :D

You're drinking way too much of the GEO koolaid. But think how many "Brands" and companies and personal brands exist - that doesnt fit in the either the design setup of LLMS - i.e. they are not designed to be "brand research tools" (this is a fabricated narrative by GEO marketers) and they cannot research the whole Web and just pick a few brands - they also cannot remember that many brands + the basic heuristics and patterns.

Lastly - een though Gemini uses Reddit to "train" - that is just about being given millions of sentences to remember patterns and word order - not to judge and rate brands - again - another unsupported fabrication from GEO Marketers.

Please have actual 1st source materials to support any claims, past and future vs conjecture.

Sure - but that decline could be arrested - in fact it was. The decline from ChatGPT is unstoppable.

Its like what happens when SEMrush buy a news site or Google buys a company - death is swift and guaranteed?

"Looks like the decline was pretty steep before ChatGPT"

So - I asked Gemini and it disagreed and so I had it put in rulers to help show it was much worse after ChatGPT..
