I’m not an guru nor is this an expert guide:

1) Two type of contents work: yes premium content is always good, but there’ll be a time your garbage content will rank too but from my understanding it’s for a short while so don’t spend more on such short lived sites.

2) EMD works and will continue to work. But should you go with one well the answer lies in your niche, if EMD are ranking for several high traffic keywords yes go for it.

3) Backlinks are the key, and will always be the key however spammy links are no longer worth in 2022 for an authority site get few but get strong backlinks.

4) PBN is and will be used in 2022 and beyond, proof is those high traffic keywords where zero backlinks is seen, I have seen seen several weak domains but ranking high no backlink seen so PBN is definitely handy.

5) Use your own videos not other videos from YouTube: why own and why not others because those other videos will rank higher on the serps taking traffic back to YouTube and basically you’re giving them free power to rank up.

6) Quora, Video and weirdly Pinterest is yet ranking higher on the serps so study how you can make use of it.

7) the bonus I learnt: Long tails and Zero search keywords are actually worth writing content and can bring traffic.

8) Page Speed is a myth: some sites may see some boosts while other may not, my assumption is you should check your top 10 competitors see their page speed chances are if you get same score it’ll be okay without getting those 90.

9) Podcasts are a rage get into this while you can for your blogs.

10) infographics are cool but not needed for every niche so don’t spend much time on these unless you have a proven way to get traffic from these.

11) link out to other sites freely, one myth is if we write a blog and we link to other sites the blog loses power it’s false adding more external links and internal links is a safe practice.

12) 2023 is coming work on your identity solutions, or partner with one for ad based model it should be your priority.

13) what’s new in seo in 2022 honestly after reading those 2022 guides and previous one I realised nothing has changed and in fact if you browse old seo threads heee you’ll find better information, I can’t write each minor one but one eg is the image seo trick by BTB or local seo trick by David. So my advise is read the old threads and just stick to basics, good content + strong backlinks + easy keywords and patience is the key and will always the key.
 
Ranking for the sake of it is pointless, remember people need to interact with your page else you will make no money.

You are taking ranking in isolation, for example with point 8. Google might wait, but people wont.
 
Hello. Please provide a link to (seo trick by BTB) (local seo trick by David). Recommend an indexing service. Thank you
 
I agree with you on some things here, but not on all of them, since I definitely wouldn't say that page speed is a myth and something that only works for some people, as it basically one of the biggest requirements for good ranking, and you can't just overlook this part and act like it doesn't exist. Secondly, I also wouldn't say that you can use backlinks freely and without any concepts or ideas, you have to link only to relevant sources if you want to get some results out of it, otherwise, it will be pointless and you could even damage your site's reputation.
 
dont know about 9 and 12 but mostly agree
 
Good tips but I have doubt about 5
You are learning fast here
 
Can you mention few EMDs that you have seen ranking. I do not see any EMD in any search now.
 
yes i've seen many EMD with low backlinks profile ranked well in page one, even most of the sites that ranked on page one are those sites that have hight authority or big news sites
 
what are identity solutions? (point 12)

12) 2023 is coming work on your identity solutions, or partner with one for ad based model it should be your priority.
 
EMDs are still incredibly powerful, but I mainly think it's because you can build "Branded Anchors" that are your core keyword....
 
EMDs still work in the current landscape of SEO. What needs to be checked in the content previously on the domain, the backlinks, and the ranking domains for the keyword of the EMD.

#5 is one of the bigger takeaways from this. Custom videos. Easy & quick to make custom media, until you get better at making them.
 
what are identity solutions? (point 12)

Live ramp, Id5 are some examples your ad network should be taking care of this, if they’re not you should immediately switch to one that can sort this for you
 
Agree with the tips shared by OP. Making some videos and submitting them to the larger video sharing sites like Youtube will work fine for generating traffic.
 
would be nice if you include sample website which url is on page one with no backlink etc, with no proof its less believable
