After working on websites for 5+ years, I have learned that there is no single solution that works for every website.
Some websites need better development, some need better content, and some just need a few technical issues fixed.
Working with both development and SEO has also made me realize...
I have been thinking about something with blog structure.
We usually try to make important articles easy to reach through menus, categories and internal links. But I wonder if giving every important post too many internal links can make the site structure less clear.
For example, if one...
I’ve been thinking about this, looking at how I normally plan blog content.
It appears the usual process is:
Ahrefs / Semrush → find a keyword → check search volume → check KD → check the competitors → write the article.
But I’m beginning to wonder if we’re putting too much stock in the first...
I'm auditing a site with several articles targeting closely related keywords. Each page gets some impressions, but none ranks strongly, and internal links alone have not fixed the overlap.
My current approach is to compare intent, query overlap, backlinks, and conversions; keep the strongest...
when starting a blog there is a lot of advice available and it is easy to focus on the wrong things.
looking back at your blogging journey then what is one mistake you wish you avoided earlier?
i think learning from real experiences is more valuable than just reading guides.
These days I spend more time in updating old posts, fixing broken links, replacing old screenshots and keeping everything up to date rather than writing new content.
Has blogging become more about maintaining what we already have?
There are millions of articles available online which covers almost every topic. Writing good content is still important but I am thinking that is not enough. It feels like people remember the creators and brands more than the articles.
Do you think building a blog brand is more important now...
I checked my analytics and noticed that most of the visitors come from search, read one article and then leave. From those very few people come back to read another post. Earlier it is easy to turn visitors into regular readers.
Those who have repeat visitors, what do you think is keeping them...
Most of the time I search for one answer, read that page and leave. I don't explore other websites unless it offers something that I can not find anywhere else. I think people don't follow blogs now they just visit them when they need something.
If that is true then should bloggers spend less...
When I first started blogging, I ignored a lot of advice because it did not make much sense at the time.
Looking back, some of those tips turned out to be the most valuable lessons I learned.
What's one piece of blogging advice you thought was wrong but later realized actually worked?
I would...
Recently, I have stopped writing about some topics because when I search them on google, the AI overview already answers most of the question at the top and then people don't scroll the search results.
Due to this I have started looking for topics where people still need detailed answers...
I am noticing a pattern in indexing. Some URLs are picked and indexed within hours but other pages even with proper structure, internal links and crawl activity are get crawled but not indexed for days or weeks.
Crawl happens but indexing does not takes place in a predictable way.
Is this...
We usually believe that more content means a stronger blog. But sometimes I have seen that when too many different types of posts are added then the blog starts to loose its clear focus. It becomes harder to understand what the blog is really about.
Do you think there is a point where posting...
Sometimes it is not a new SEO trick but a small habit that makes the biggest difference over time.
For you, what is one blogging habit that had the biggest impact on your traffic or overall growth?
It could be anything updating old posts, improving internal linking, publishing consistently, or...
Daniel Stanica analyzed 100 blogs over 4 years + tracked the aftermath of Google's HCU and AI Overviews. 85% lost Google traffic, 11 were gutted, but interestingly, a few actually grew.
Google Sheet with the list of 100 blogs and traffic metrics...
Hi everyone,
Most blogging advice focuses on publishing more content, but I am curious about the opposite side.
Have you ever removed old, low quality, or outdated articles from your blog and noticed any improvement in rankings, traffic, or overall site performance?
Or did deleting content...
This has happened to me a few times.
I spend hours in writing an article but before publishing it I read it again and decide to keep it as a draft. Sometimes it does not feel complete and other times I just feel it is missing something, even though I can not explain what is missing.
Has this...
Hi everyone,
When starting a new blog, do you create a complete content plan first, or do you just publish articles and organize everything later?
I have tried both approaches and each has its pros and cons.
Now my question is for those who manage multiple blogs:
Which method has worked...
Hey everyone,
One of my highest traffic pages today was originally a post i almost deleted because it got no visits for months. Then out of nowhere it started ranking and bringing consistent traffic. Made me wonder how often people give up on content too early. Have you ever had a blog post...
Hello,
I have noticed that whenever I looking for blogging advice, I find completely different opinions on the same topic.
One person says publish more content, another says publish less and focus more on quality. Some recommend SEO first while other says social media is important.
A few...
