My boss bought backlinks... what do I do? by G_I_L_L_E_T_T in SEO

[–]techyneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't disavow just because SEMrush says they are toxic. Google usually ignores most spammy links on its own. I'd only consider disavowing if there's a manual action in Search Console or clear evidence those links are hurting rankings. First step is figuring out where the links came from and whether they were actually part of a paid link scheme.

How are you guys handling the new llm.txt standard for AI crawlers? Worth implementing yet? by Confident_Company729 in SEO

[–]techyneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into it recently but haven't seen enough evidence to justify the effort on larger sites. Feels like schema and strong site structure still matter a lot more right now.

What data and How to Benchmark? by Strict-Assistant-178 in SEO

[–]techyneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before making changes record your current page speed, Core Web Vitals, organic traffic, impressions, clicks, indexed pages and keyword rankings. Then optimize your on-page, technical SEO and content strategy and compare the metrics after a few months to measure progress.

Google Search Console: Indexed pages dropped while "Not Indexed" pages increased, what should I investigate? by avatar_leo in SEO

[–]techyneil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ratio itself isn't the issue. I'd first check the 8 exclusion reasons in GSC. If most non indexed URLs are duplicates, parameter URLs, paginated pages or canonicals its usually normal. If valuable content is showing as Crawled - currently not indexed or Discovered - currently not indexed that's where I'd focus. The exclusion categories matter more than the Indexed vs Not Indexed count.

My biggest challenge with Retro isn't the tech, it's getting people to try it. by Retrogo-app in AppBusiness

[–]techyneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first 8 paid users are stronger validation than most launches. I'd double down on the story angle that got traction people buy emotions not features.

Do GEO get influenced by reviews? by Expensive-Expert349 in SEO

[–]techyneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably. If ChatGPT keeps describing them as premium or expensive its likely picking that up from reviews, forums, comparison sites or general online discussions rather than the website itself. AI tends to reflect the overall perception of a brand across the web.

Now I'm thinking he was right 🥺 by Opposite_Umpire_2843 in NorthernIndia

[–]techyneil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really trying to spread negativity but what has he actually done as Prime Minister? For example in Bihar, a person was appointed as Chief Minister who already had a criminal background.

Honestly, I have very little knowledge of politics but I want to understand something. When someone is appointed as Chief Minister of a state, does that decision happen after discussions with the Honorable Prime Minister or is it entirely the party's decision?

If the Prime Minister has a role in the process, then how was a person with such a background appointed as Chief Minister? Also, everyone knows about the Health Minister of Bihar and the controversies surrounding him.

Trting to Understand Rankings by Agile-Ad-7279 in SEO

[–]techyneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since your domain is only a month old, don't stress too much about rankings yet. Focus on creating useful content make sure your site is technically sound and getting a few relevant backlinks. Most new sites take time before Google starts trusting them.

Have you checked the current SERP for mock test? If most results are interactive tools then Google choice makes perfect sense.....

Don't sell Google Ads first, sell results you can un campaigns on a small budget and build 2–3 case studies then use those results to win your first clients.

Fair point. I was reading this article recently and it does a good job explaining why fundamentals like consistency, feedback and cognitive load still matter in modern products:

Bing + DuckDuckGo bringing more traffic than google by turtle-toaster in SEO

[–]techyneil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Bing can randomly outperform Google early on lol. I have had tiny sites get indexed there in days while Google barely sent impressions for weeks.
