Search results

Google values contextual links much more than the "link cemetery" at the bottom of each article.

i think you missed my point here. I agree that search volumes and Ahrefs Semrush etc are not always correct, but this is irrelevant to the topic. The question was about converting Discover traffic from relative to absolute numbers. And you can do it by taking the Google organic traffic share...

totally with you on this. I haven't seen the overall Discover stats, but you can easily propagate these numbers into absolute numbers by mixing it with the overall google traffic stats per country - this data is a single claude or chatgpt prompt away ;)

Google news - very small share of traffic, very few people click on the News tab. i don't recall stats, but across the GSC of every large news website that I came across during my SEO practice, Google News is like maximum 1-2% of the total pie.

sorry, i think i don't have a permission :( you can google something like clara soteras google discover stats per country moz, i am sure it will pop up.

means - the G.Discover share of total Google traffic in a particular country.

there has to be a balance between evergreen and news. also, interlinking is a major win. you have to have good category pages, category descriptions with contextual links, and news that link to evergreen and categories WITHIN the text, not programmatic interlinking blocks. If you do it manually...

yeah... that was my reaction as well when I saw this! :LOL: It is the *SHARE* of traffic, not absolute numbers. Still it's important to keep in mind if you're targeting discover. Spanish segment is killin' it. Discover is waaaay more important if you're deep into Spanish segment.

keep in mind there are a few other tech gimmicks to monitor - the size of HTML does matter. i had a case - advising a news publisher, when after migration to new platform they've lost a s*tload of discover traffic. Appeared to be the HTML size went up from ~100kb to over 1mb.... also you have...

guys keep in mind that US is not even in top 30 in Google Discover traffic... There is a bunch of research on this published every year, the top countries are surprizingly Colombia, Poland, Croatia, ... The data below is from 2024, I think in 2025 Croatia became number 1. the screenshot is from...

have you checked the behavioral factors? if content is sh*t, engagement metrics are sh*t as well. G.Discover won't pick it even if there are 100s of reddit posts.

MrApple, great! thanks for sharing! what's your sequence for a brand new content piece?

@gmemarket any news on your CTR bumping tactics? did it work out?

watermarking AI images can be dealt with - take screenshot, use converters, don't publish as-is. as for copyright - it is a tricky topic. I haven't figured out this one yet. my guess is to use wikimedia commons images as a seed. but this can also yield some issues with the law in some jurisdictions.

Hi! Can someone give me a cost estimate of an aged wikipedia account with 500+ edits? with 100+ edits? Any differences in pricing for English and non-English segments? I am putting down a budget for a project, and would appreciate some ballpark estimates. I am not planning to buy or sell them.

Hey guys, If you had to start with affiliates today as a beginner, which vertical would you pick and why? Not asking for exact keywords, just trying to avoid going blind into a dead niche. I’m pretty new to the affiliate side of things and trying to figure out where to start in 2026. I’ve been...

why? what will it do? bump up behavioral signals? add dwell time? improve page performance?

i am still a bit confused about the mother-child approach on ig. so, you're creating 20+ satellite accounts that post what? just anything trending? then how you're using them to benefit the main acc? by reposting/sharing the main acc's reels, which then get picked up by Explore? I'd...

shadow ban from mass reporting is real, unfortunately. I don't know the exact number of reports that would be required to shadow ban a verified IG account, but the results are the following (from first-hand experience): - your reach drops to bare minimum, 20-30 likes per day, and less than 1K...

is your account related to Ukraine? I've heard that Instagram often bans Ukrainian accounts - Russian bot farms are mass reporting them.
