See how stable your rankings really are with the Cora Volatility Tool! In this video, I demonstrate this useful SEO tool that goes beyond traditional rank trackers by showing ranking volatility. ⚡25% OFF Cora: https://seosly.com/cora The Cora Volatility Tool runs multiple searches to reveal the percentage of time your pages and competitors' pages appear for chosen keywords. This helps diagnose issues like ranking fluctuations, Google testing different positions, and potential on-page cannibalization. I showcase the tool by searching for "best SEO newsletters" to analyze my site's rankings. You can see my optimized page ranks #7 but with some volatility in lower positions. I also appear at #16 and #9 for related pages. Compare this to the rock-solid top rankings of sites like Ahrefs for a better picture of true SEO stability.

The Cora SEO Tool Knows EXACTLY How to Rank #1 (It's Almost Unfair How Good It Is)

The Cora SEO Tool Knows EXACTLY How to Rank #1 (It's Almost Unfair How Good It Is)

In this episode, I introduce my top SEO tool for 2024 and beyond - Cora. Cora is an advanced SEO tool created by Ted Kubaitis that statistically analyzes hundreds of ranking factors and generates detailed reports showing exactly what your site pages are lacking compared to competitor pages. ⚡️25% OFF Cora: https://seosly.com/cora I've been raving about Cora because it is transforming my work as an SEO for both my own websites and my clients' sites. Here's how it works: you enter a target keyword, location, and device type. Cora shows you the current rankings and then you can run a full report. The report analyzes the top 100 results and tells you what specific things you should improve in order to overtake the competition. It accounts for "factor diversity" - the idea that over-exploiting one ranking factor causes Google to ignore you for it. Cora is so powerful because the recipe for ranking success is different for every keyword and every site. I used to optimize pages properly but still couldn't move the needle on tough keywords. Now Cora gives me endless optimization ideas tailored to each situation. I show an example keyword report in the video and walk through how to interpret Cora's unmatched SEO advice.

Things Google Wants SEOs Not To Focus On (& My Take On It)... 😱

Things Google Wants SEOs Not To Focus On (& My Take On It)... 😱

In this video, I give my unique takes on optimizations Google says not to focus on, but I disagree in some cases based on my experience! I explain why tactics like meta keywords or internal link sculpting may seem outdated, but could still aid SEO with the right approach. And while extreme keyword density is bad, higher density often correlates with better rankings in my testing. I also break down the gray areas around subdomains vs subdirectories, duplicate content issues, optimizing headings, and more. Just because Google deems something ineffective doesn't mean it can't work with finesse! I share opinions derived from extensive hands-on work - not just relying on Google guidance. Because search algorithms interacting with the real world require going beyond simplifications. Check out my contrarian SEO perspectives, examine the evidence yourself, and form your own conclusions. Do these "ignored" factors deserve reexamination? I welcome healthy debate in the comments!

Confessions of an SEO Workaholic: I Burned Out in 2023.

Confessions of an SEO Workaholic: I Burned Out in 2023.

After years of obsessively working in SEO, I began feeling burnt out. As an ambitious perfectionist, I had let SEO take over too much of my life. So this year, I'm determined to achieve better work-life balance. In this video, I share my struggles with SEO overwork and some tactics I'm trying to find more balance, including setting stricter work hours, taking regular breaks, reading books unrelated to SEO, meditating, spending more time outside, and not overpacking my schedule with clients. I also discuss tools like Asana, Hubstaff, and Flow that help me work in focused "deep work" chunks and track how much time I actually spend working. While SEO will always be a passion of mine, I don't want it to be all-consuming. My hope is that by being more intentional about balance, I can boost my motivation, energy levels, and enjoyment of SEO in the long run. I'd love to hear from you in the comments about your own experiences finding work-life balance as an SEO! Do you have any other tips? Let me know if you have any other questions.

Open Your SEO Mind & Start Doing The Real S**T (With Lee Witcher)

In this episode of my podcast, I interviewed renowned SEO expert Lee Witcher. Lee has over 15 years of experience in SEO testing and optimization. We had an enlightening discussion about his journey into SEO, from starting out trying different courses and software to finally realizing in 2018 that he needed to take his marketing and analytics background and apply it to SEO testing. The tool that will change your SEO game: ⚡️25% OFF Cora: https://seosly.com/cora Lee shared the "aha moment" that completely changed his SEO approach - realizing the need to test factors against each other to determine the strongest ones, not just test them against a control. From there, he started connecting with other testers, appearing on SEO Fight Club, and eventually becoming a co-host. Some of the topics Lee and I covered include: ✅ His thorough testing process and learnings around stop words, content length, and keyword density ✅ How factor diversity is critical to maintain rankings through Google updates ✅ Misconceptions around LSI keywords and how they actually can improve rankings ✅ His view that AI will replace most knowledge worker jobs in the next 3 years ✅ Tips for newbies on conducting valid SEO tests It was fascinating to learn from someone with so much hands-on SEO testing experience.

SEO Consultant Vs SEO Employee. Which One Are You Meant To Be?

SEO Consultant Vs SEO Employee. Which One Are You Meant To Be?

In this episode of the SEO Podcast by #SEOSLY, I discuss the differences between being an SEO employee and working as an independent SEO consultant. As someone who has been in both positions, I share the pros and cons of each. I explain what a typical SEO job entails - set hours, paid time off, limited income potential but steady salary and bonuses. As a consultant, you run your own business which gives flexibility but also accountability and uncertainty. However, you can charge higher rates and have room for faster growth. I share why working for someone else was personally frustrating for me, as well as the reasons why I ended up working more hours as a consultant out of passion despite having intended for more free time. I also touch on the opportunities for continued SEO learning and experiments when you consult directly with clients who allow quick implementation. Overall this video contrasts both worlds so you can better decide where you fit - whether you prefer more structure or higher earnings potential and autonomy. My goal is to provide value through my knowledge and experience to help you advance your own SEO career. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Why Going Solo Was The Best SEO Career Decision I Have Ever Made

Why Going Solo Was The Best SEO Career Decision I Have Ever Made

In this video, SEO consultant Olga shares the story of how she made the decision to go solo and become an independent SEO consultant. She talks about how last October (2022) she finally decided to give up her agency SEO jobs and go fully independent starting November 1st. Initially she struggled with having multiple jobs but eventually got to the point where half her income was from clients and half from an agency. When she finally went fully solo, she suddenly had a lot more time to focus on her own brand, share tutorials and videos, and do what she loves. Within just 60 days of going independent, Olga not only matched but exceeded her previous agency income as her earnings started trending upwards. She encourages others to take the leap to become an independent consultant if they have the SEO experience and are passionate about it. The SEO community is also very supportive, as she experienced firsthand when many leaders offered to crowdsource funds to help with a legal issue. Olga reflects that her only regret is not going independent sooner. For anyone considering it, she's happy to provide advice and support to take that step.   Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgUTUmFXEHg&ab_channel=OlgaZarrSEO Follow SEO Consultant Olga Zarr or hire Olga to help you with SEO: 👉 Follow Olga Zarr X (https://x.com/olgazarr)👉 Follow Olga Zarr on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/olgazarr/)👉 The best SEO newsletter (https://seosly.io/)👉 The best SEO podcast (https://seosly.com/podcast/)👉 SEO consultant (https://seosly.com/seo-consultant/)👉 The best SEO course (https://seosly.com/seo-course/)

SEO Agency Vs SEO Consultant. Which One Should You Hire?

SEO Agency Vs SEO Consultant. Which One Should You Hire?

As an SEO professional with over 10 years of experience working at agencies and now as a solo consultant, I often get asked about the differences between hiring an SEO agency versus an individual SEO consultant. In this video, I share my insider knowledge to help you make an informed decision when choosing an SEO provider. I break down the pros and cons including communication, pricing, attention received, expertise level, accountability, reporting, strategy creation, onboarding time, custom recommendations, busywork automation, response time, priority level, flexibility in scope changes, transparency about who is working on your site, core specialties, tools and resources utilized, capacity for new clients and more. I aim to educate about realistic expectations when working with agencies who take on hundreds of clients versus dedicated consultants who focus on fewer clients.

Barry has over 20 years of experience in SEO and started optimizing websites back in 1998 before SEO was even a known term.

Barry also gave tips on optimizing headlines, tagging content, and structuring sites to demonstrate topical authority. When asked about his typical work, Barry said he does a lot of site audits and training. He emphasized the ongoing importance of technical SEO, despite the popularity of content marketing. The interview finished with Barry's thoughts on AI-written news content and where listeners can find him online.
