Here's how you can use ChatGPT to research like a topic expert on topics I'm not an expert on. And let's do it with a case study because I know you guys love practical examples. Let's imagine I'm writing an article on "the health benefits of switching from sugar to Xylitol."

Hereโ€™s exactly how you can find low-competition long-tail keywords using ChatGPT. Traditional keyword tools rarely surface these keywords, and this could give you a real competitive edge. Start by giving it context on your site, then ask for a list of sub-niches ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿงต

Iโ€™m not against removing low quality sites from search. But I find it amusing that Google is giving 2 months to large publications to remove spam from their sites. For small businesses they deindex them overnight. If this isnโ€™t double standards I donโ€™t know what is.

SEOs didnโ€™t ruin the web. Google encouraged a certain type of content by ranking it and SEOs identified it and produced more of it to gain visibility. If Google rewarded super hq original content with traffic, everyone would try to be producing it (like on YouTube for example)

If Reddit and Quora start showing like this on the SERP's, I think it's more "fair" to everyone. - They take less vertical space - User chooses if they want a forum or an article - It rarely shows #1 It still sucks organic traffic, but it's a better experience overall.

The reason many are not successful at SEO is not that they're missing out on a tactic or "secret". It's usually because their execution and attention to detail are poor, and/or their content is dull AF. You don't need more tactics, you need more discipline and personality.

Call me a hater, but after looking into "topical authority" content for the last 2 days (free and paid), it looks like it's just a buzzword attached to well-known SEO good practices ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. I Covered this stuff 5+ years ago in TASS and Pro.

Is this new? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Google search "Best head shaver" just popped a faceted navigation sidebar. When you click on an item, it adjusts the search query. It almost makes Google feel like an ecom for popular affiliate queries. Have you observed this before?

Here's another way you can use for ChatGPT today. I pretend I want to write a guest post from @authorityhacker to @epicgardening by @KevinEspiritu . So I ask ChatGPT to come up with topic ideas that cross my expertise (Marketing) with his (Gardening)

What Iโ€™m reading: You donโ€™t have to be an expert, you just need users to behave like youโ€™re one. IE if youโ€™re not an expert but fool people, our algorithm will reward you ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@ichbinGisele Thank you. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the post, and the concerns and the detail in it. I've passed it along to our Search team along with my thoughts that I'd like to see us do more to ensure we're showing a better diversity of results that does include both small and

Following the Bankrate / Cnet AI story of last week, I've decided to analyze the performance of their AI content. I pitched their AI-assisted pages against their top writers, and the results were... interesting. @JimRoyalPhD outperformed AI by 776% on average in November.

I made this graph a few years ago. In a nutshell, it means that Affiliate payouts increase faster than SEO difficulty. So it's not 100x harder to rank for a $100 high-ticket sale than it is to rank for a $1 Amazon sale. Good to know when picking a niche ๐Ÿค”

I know there are a lot of complaints about seeing no HCU recovery stories. Spoiler alert, this is not a full recovery story. We helped a friend of ours after he lost around 40% of his traffic to HCU. We prompted him to make drastic changes and to no index most of his site
