Myth here... brand new to SEO.

[Myth03]

I’m just starting to learn SEO for a small sports blog I run. I have a ton to learn, but am finding that everything seems to lead to “buy my...(insert here)”. I’m hoping to learn the secrets behind it all!

From the US and generally clueless... but I’m eager to learn!

Greetings, Myth! Yes, the cover of that book reads, "Buy my.....(insert here)," but open those pages up and you will seek the info you desire. There's a ton of info here on BHW to elevate your SEO game. I wish you the best!

Welcome!

And yes, the problem with something like SEO is that most people will try to sell you their course or ebook etc.

You can find some very good guides on here that don't try to sell you anything and give some very good value.

It's possible to find on youtube too, but 95% of the stuff on there is too sell you something.

You can find some good stuff on Niel Patel's channels.

Although I find him annoying af, he does have some fairly good stuff.

Good Luck! There's plenty to learn!

Thank you! I’ve been scoping around a bit as an unregistered person but have decided to take the plunge.

I’ve seen a bunch of his stuff and seems to be good. But they totally forget the basics.

I.e.
-How do I improve my domain rank?
-I’m using the right words (low comp) but I’m not seeing any results...
-How long does it take to get a keyword noticed by an search engine? Google or otherwise?

Thank you for the warm welcome. It makes me think that there are still folks that think I’m more than a dollar sign.

Right, well. It's not hard to miss him since he's all over the word SEO.

Indeed, they miss many of the basics. He has a team full of people trying to clickbait people with new articles and videos, so I don't think he's going for noobies anymore.

He's catering to the people with big banks rather than making the noobies with limited wallets happy.

I swear there would be money in that... because I see those types of questions... everywhere...

Plus, I’m sure AHREFs and SEMRUSH are awesome, but I don’t have consistent revenue and can’t be throwing down $100/mo (...yet)

I know right, but I think the market for chasing noobies is kinda filled up already but those smaller Youtubers.

Why chase pennies when you can get big checks daily. I think he has plenty of big clients to be fighting with those doing the beginners guides.

But he does seem to cater somewhat to the beginners since he bought out UberSuggest and made it free/planning to release it completely free. (Good for branding)

Yeah, I'm in the same spot. I just start a new trial on Ahrefs whenever I need to do some research. $100 is way too much for just a few keyword searches a month.

Recommend taking a look into "seo powersuite" free software that allows you to do most of the same things for free, which a few limitations.

Yeah I’ve actually been playing around with that some. I’m super frustrated with the can’t save feature, and it still doesn’t help me understand things. Nor does it help that they have their own domain rank — which I haven’t moved in, for weeks. Lol.

I do use their on-page SEO analyzer, but now I’m just waiting to see if/when I start to show up for organic stuff

Have a look at the downloads section https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/member-downloads.29/ and also read some of the guides on here too. Then put into practice what you learn, but remember good seo is not something you rush.

Right, I just leave it open now. Got really annoyed that you couldn't save too. But hey, it's free. We can't have everything for free in life. Some of my stuff hasn't moved either on their programs, so I'm unsure how often it actually updates or whatever.

Yeah I try to do that too — but I have pretty consistent crashing

Yeah, I've noticed that too.

I think it's made to do that so that we buy the paid version.

Definitely not trying to rush it. Just want to make sure I’m doing it right! And I’d love to see some progress while I’m at it! I’ll check out the downloads, thanks for pointing me in that direction.
