Hey everyone
I have been doing SEO for a couple of years now mainly off page and link building. I am currently working with a local business and a local digital marketing agency on white label basis, but I am finding difficult to land my own international client.
Im currently building my...
I posted a thread recently asking for advice on improving the authority of a YMYL website. This one
Looking for advice on increasing Semrush Authority Score for a YMYL site
The thread got around 17 replies, but honestly only one reply gave me something genuinely useful to think about. Most of...
Dont try to use 10 free tools at once. I rather advice u to learn Search Console properly first than use five different SEO tools without understanding the data.
Iwould check Search Console first. Sometimes rankings for your main keywords don't move, but the page starts picking up a lot of additional long tail queries, which is enough to increase traffic without any obvious position changes.
Interesting. I knew community posts had their own URLs now, but I hadnt considered them for parasite SEO. Has anyone here actually managed to rank one consistently or do they tend to disappear after a while?
Hi everyone,
Im working on a mental health website and Im trying to grow it the right way. My Semrush Authority Score is currently 13.
For those who have worked on YMYL sites what actually helped you build authority? Was it mostly digital PR, niche guest posts, editorial links, or something...
Follower count. I have seen accounts with huge followings generate almost no business, while much smaller accounts with the right audience bring consistent leads
If the drop started right after the blacklist issue I wouldn't expect GSA or more backlinks to fix it. I would first figure out whether Bing still distrusts the domain. Once that trust issue is resolved then I will look at rebuilding authority with a small number of relevant high quality links...
i wouldd spend the first month figuring out which pages are actually worth building links to. I've made the mistake of putting links into pages that were later merged, rewritten, or changed. Now I wait until the content has settled before investing in backlinks.
Don't chase every new SEO trick you see online. Pick one area, work on real projects, make mistakes, and learn from them. I learned far more from client work than from watching courses.
I will audit the site first before spending anything. If the content is already competitive then I would put the budget into backlinks. If the content is clearly weaker than the pages already ranking i would improve that first.
Before buying, I search Google for a few recent articles from that site if Google is not indexing fresh content consistently i dont expect my guest post to perform any better
I wouldd start with the pillar content first, then build supporting articles around it instead of publishing randomly. Also, dont wait to "finish" one category before starting another grow each topical cluster over time with internal links connecting them
I first compare the backlink profiles of the URLs ranking above me. If they are only slightly stronger i wouldd test a few relevant links before spending more. If the gap is huge, I probably invest my time in a different article instead.
Thats been my experience too, have you found any particular marketplace where serious buyers are easier to find, or has it mostly come down to how you position your service?
For me its usually when I check the SERP and see 5+ big domains sitting in top 3 at that point ROI just isnt there. I would rather put that time into a page thats stuck on page 2, since moving 11 to 6 is way easier than 4 to 1.
Content gets you in the game backlinks get you noticed I have tested near identical articles the one with even a few relevant backlinks beat the "better" one every time. Not saying content doesn't matter, just that authority signals still carry a lot of weight.
I have been maintaining gigs/listings on a couple of smaller SEO marketplaces for a while now (mostly around link building services), and the experience has been mixed sometimes a solid lead comes through, sometimes weeks go by without a serious buyer.
A few things I have noticed:
