SEO Content Tuning Experiment

First of all, great work OP, and thank you for contributing to BHW with great insights.

I haven't gone through your data yet, however, I see that ALL your data is based on a broad niche: Attorneys. If this is the case, then this data will only help people who are in the same niche as each niche has it's own factors regarding on-page SEO.

Either way, I'm sure it will be insightful to read :)

You are right but I'd like to suggest some ways this post could be useful for everyone.

You are correct that this post only helps Attorneys be competitive with content tuning in one of their highest competition niches.


  • Some of the highlights fly in face of of mainstream SEO advice.
  • Understanding the method helps for all niches.
  • How many countless hours of reading articles were people say H1 is the most important heading can you tune out now? :) That will save you a 100 hours in the next year or two.
  • The next time someone says keyword stuffing doesn't work you can ask "Have you plotted some data on that? It still correlates strongly with rankings and it is so ubiquitous that it is measurable in just about every keyword niche."
  • Next time you hire an SEO guy you can ask "What's the best heading tag and why?" This will filter the group down to the data driven individuals.
  • It demonstrates that there are insights and opportunities in this niche, and begs the question what does the data in your niche look like? If you really want to know then that's a GOOD thing. :)


Thanks for the compliment!

UPDATE: I'm adding a proper Spearmans ranking correlation coefficient to the software so future runs will have the academic value... There are like 50 different correlation coefficients so it still is going to be a big argument everywhere I go and I still think my "% better than random" is far more practical to use.

see https://statistics.laerd.com/statis...ank-order-correlation-statistical-guide-2.php

but your point is taken and appreciated.

Excellent information overall, and it's appreciated. This is the first time I have heard of content tuning, so thanks for a new way of looking at data for me. I too remember when the forum was always full of various testing models, results threads, and we all used empirical data to measure our successes. Good times!
 
Excellent informed posting. Thank you for taking the time to do this so thoroughly.
 
Excellent detail, and proven method, i tried but OP i have a question, how do you implent this on newly web?
 
Took a brief look at the data to check if trolling, seems legit to me!

You have tried? how is this "proven"??

Too little data - the sample size. which makes the data worthless

The important thing I keep seeing in the data is to make sure you measure your keyword competitor's content tunings and make sure you are being competitive.

With a new website it is always easier to design the website with competitive content tuning measures. You can look at what the top performers are doing to get the high numbers of matches without scaring away business. With a new website its like filling your first plate at the buffet. In my opinion it is much harder to make an existing site competitive because adding on extra content features into an existing website usually looks "unplanned" and visitors can often tell.

Actually my sample size is fine for the niche I chose. And it is damn near 6MB of data files... I measured 200 factors for the top 10 results of 25 search terms... Thats 50,000 measurements for a very specific niche.

Did you even look at my data?
 
Great thread, one thing that I've been curious about lately is how much clean code will help results. Many of the common Wordpress themes are so full of crap that isn't used, I was thinking about writing some very clean coded Wordpress templates and seeing if they compete better than purchased themes. Theme companies are trying to provide one theme that will work with a million different site formats so that their themes can be adopted by pretty much anyone to do anything and it bloats the code exponentially, and while they are very aesthetically pleasing, when you go under the hood they contain a ton of unnecessary cruft. Skeleton is a pretty easy to use responsive backbone with minimal code and I prefer it to Bootstrap which also contains a ton of bloat that you will more than likely not put to use.

Some of my very clean coded Expression Engine sites seem to do better and I'm starting to think that it makes a big difference.

Anyway, if there was any way to test this out I'd love to see the results.

Peace,
Z
