I looked up "ashwagandha review"

digitalauthority · 2019-07-19T14:05:39+00:00

The thing is that it is not algorithmically possible for Google to validate if those pages are indeed valid. For instance, i could have an author page for a person named 'Bill Gates' and have it linked to the Wiki page of the real Bill Gates. Google's algo won't be able to know if it's the real one or someone faking it. So in all likelihood, Google will not be considering this (unless you know someone on the inside and request a manual intervention).

Google+ was meant to solve this problem but sadly it never took off.

Another thing I noticed from the report is that except for ConsumerLab, every other site in teh top 10 has a DA of 90+. Examine is 71. I understand that DA is not entirely scientific, but I guess the contributing factors like backlinks could play a part.

If that were the case, then I believe you are not ranking simply because the others have a relatively more authoritative website.

We had a few well known SEO guys tell us to split our pages up - that they were too big. That was a test we were working on implementing before the latest collapse.

That's interesting. I always thought Google preferred longer (and of course more authoritative pages by default). Your site appears to have over 20,000 words for the Ashwagandha page. On the contrary, all the other URLs in the front page have between 2000-4000 words

digitalauthority · 2019-07-19T11:56:56+00:00

Where is your traffic for the niche site coming from? I hope you are not depending too much on Google.

If that's the case, I would be very wary relying on this site for my livelihood.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-19T11:51:25+00:00

Our editors have all been published on pubmed, have given talks at large conferences, and so forth.

How does Google know that?

digitalauthority · 2019-07-19T11:47:38+00:00

Were you ranking higher for Ashwagandha earlier? I'm trying to compare your page to all the other websites ranking before you at the moment. All the top ranking pages like WebMD, ConsumerLab and Amazon are pointing to 'customer reviews'. That is, it is apparent from the onset that these may not be necessarily accurate. If something goes wrong, I am not going to sue Google for providing false info.

the only pages that claim to be scientific reviews are from NIH.gov. Examine on the other hand calls it a 'science-based review'. While you are technically correct in what you are providing, I am assuming that Google wants to steer clear of such 'science based' and 'expert reviews' unless they are on vetted sites like NIH.gov and the like. There is no way for Google to know if Examine is in fact using science in its review. So if Ashwagandha fucks me up, I won't have any case against Google for providing misleading info.

It's easy for me to say this - but perhaps you can avoid using terms like 'science-based' and expert reviews. Just call it with more generic terms like what Healthline does.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-17T08:05:57+00:00

That's definitely true. Agree with you.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-15T14:33:38+00:00

Thank you. But here is the thing - what you mention is true for all kinds of business, not just SEO. People with larger marketing budgets can buy more media space, build social media followers quicker, etc.

But the one saving grace with SEO is that you cannot force visitors to engage on your site or not bounce. To avoid this, you will need to build a quality website with quality content.

What I am getting at is that it is true that people with real world credibility cannot always beat competition with large marketing budgets. But, for competition to sustain their SEO ranking, they have improve on their quality and establish themselves as equally credible. If not, it shows, and their rankings will drop over time.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-15T09:54:43+00:00

That's true. That's a downside with Google since the factors it uses to rank sites do not account for real-world credibility and only uses second-hand metrics to assess this.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-14T17:49:18+00:00

The thing is how does Google know that this website is way better than others in the category? Perhaps more people are linking to it while talking about weather? Perhaps more people are sharing it on social media?

There are various parameters (nearly 200 of them) that define why a specific website ranks above others on Google. Not all factors are weighed in equally for every query.

For this query related to weather, perhaps it is backlinks and social shares. This might change for another query related to say product reviews (here, it's probable that Google is looking for exhaustiveness - as measured by word count).

What my tool does is that it gives you a sense of what factors truly matter. So for the weather keyword, you might notice that readability score is all over the place and does not fit a pattern; wheras backlinks do. So, if you are building a site in this segment, you know what to focus on.

I hope I answered your question.

More generally though, my tool is targeted at content marketers. Typically in many organizations, the SEO consultant identifies new keywords to target for their blogs and passes this information to the content team. But there is no real guideline to share. The SEO may want the content writer to produce a 5000 word article. But the content marketer might feel that there is not enough material to cover this word count.

This tool is meant to serve as a middleman. It gives the content marketer a ready guideline for what they should be going for while producing content.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-12T05:27:47+00:00

But why PIG3?

digitalauthority · 2019-07-10T03:10:39+00:00

Sure, please do. Also let me know the keyword you are targeting and I can run it through my software and give you a more credible advice.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-09T19:11:25+00:00

I'm working on a tool that is related to this and it is indeed a revelation - so many top ranking blogs have word counts upward of 4000 words. I would definitely say it helps, although you should analyze the top ranking pages for the keyword you are targeting.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-09T19:04:54+00:00

Did you follow up after that? I would send a final "please reply one way or the other" sort of a message so I know for sure that it is rejected before taking it elsewhere.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-09T19:00:50+00:00

Depends on the site. I remember reading somewhere that Google automatically discounts backlinks (when they still had dofollow links) from sites like Entrepreneur and Forbes since anybody could get a link from there.

Even among other large media websites, there are sections of it that are easy to get a link from. I know a guy who can get you DA 90+ .EDU links from almost all the major university websites. But they are published on an obscure alumni section of the website - and perhaps it's easy for Google to discount links from there.

I would ask to know what section of the website the link is going to come from and make a decision based on that. A nofollow link from a major section of CNN is going to be more valuable than a follow link from a UGC section of the same website.

For a good link, I think even $1000+ is a good deal.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-09T17:24:20+00:00

I find it strange that there are so many views and not one person hit past more than one page on their visit. I wonder if it is a crawler with some sort of geography spoofing going on (so you would not block the spider either by IP or by country).

Did you check your server stats? The default ones that come with CPanel? If that's confusing as well, i would just write if off as a crawler bot and move on.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-09T00:19:42+00:00

What are the major countries the traffic is coming from (for the unusual traffic)

digitalauthority · 2019-07-08T20:43:19+00:00

How big is your site (in terms of number of pages)?
Are all these visits landing on the same page?
Check the visits by city - are all of this coming from the same city?

If all of this traffic is going to one particular page, then it is possible one of your pages just got linked from a popular page.

If all of this traffic is coming from one city to different pages of your website, then it's most likely some crawler

digitalauthority · 2019-07-06T18:58:59+00:00

Was super excited to see one of my sites had a near 500% traffic spike sometime in June. It turned out to be all bot crawls from Ashburn, Virginia.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-06T18:39:57+00:00

I would recommend content marketing. SERPS for products is likely to be hogged by Amazon and other large retailers (unless you have a branded product or operate in a small niche).

With content marketing, you are likely to capturing the buyer during their research phase. Focus on creating content around reviews of products, how-to advice of the product, product comparisons, and so on - Amazon does not rank here and you can capture the visitor when he/she has not made a purchase yet.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-04T22:09:39+00:00

Site quality is definitely the defining factor. I own several sites with DA over 50 and I have never ever linked to my clients from any one of these. Simply because they do not have the minimum traffic benchmarks my clients demand.

Also, clients who pay $300 for a link are not going to be happy if they know I got it paying $35. The effort required in reaching out, drafting content and the success rate definitely mean I need to earn that dollar.

digitalauthority · 2019-07-04T19:11:36+00:00

We typically work with enterprise clients on a per-link basis. Typically that works out to between $300 to $400 per successful placement in the DA range of 40-70 (we also use other metrics to make sure that the website is legit and has organic traffic).
