Forum marketing might be the most underutilized traffic generation strategy on the planet. Industry forums are a watering hole of potential leads and customers. However, simply creating a signature and leaving generic posts isn’t going to get you a tidal wave of traffic. I’m going to show you how you can drive targeted traffic to your site using forum marketing. In my Google Analytics, I checked my referral traffic for the month of May, which is a month where I did quite a bit of forum marketing. In the top ten of my referral traffic sources, USA stock Forum is number three. It brought me, 387 visitors. In a different internet marketing forum, Dimeforum brought me 121 targeted visitors. Now, I’m going to teach you how you can do the same thing for your site, no matter what niche you’re in. The first step is to find forums in your niche that are active. This is the best search string you can probably use. You want to use your keyword in quotes plus forum. Depending on yo...

After Google pausing several of their reports within the Google Search Console due to the  indexing bugs , Google now has updated them as of this morning. Previously it was stuck at data from April 7th or so, now you can see data as recent as a couple days ago, April 27th. Here is a screenshot: Now the coverage report, mobile-friendly report, AMP reports, other enhancement reports are all pretty much up to date - with the normal two or so delay in Google Search Console. Google has not confirmed any of this yet, so I am not sure about if the URL Inspection tool bug was fixed yet but at least this is a good sign.

My largest report was about 100 pages (it took me 2 months to write all of it). It was a complete how-to playbook about writing product pages for a very specific technical business from targeting the right audience, the right language, positioning, UX, guidelines and process for everything. It's like compressing years of knowledge working with that client into a process for the in-house team. If I need to write this again for a different business, I'll need to rewrite 80% of it. And yes, it was not an SEO report. I have written small reports bundled with large attached excel files (URLs that need specific fixes). But to me, the excel file is not a report. I don't do rank reporting. It is not in my business model. I work with businesses that already have marketers and reporting setup. It could be a small startup or a bigger company. I am hired usually to identify and solve problems, optimize the customer journey, positioning, CRO. The right client has a p...

OK, so you have this large, “targeted” email list. So you say to yourself: “Self, I've got this list of email addresses of  unsuspecting victims  prospective buyers, how do I best email them while minimizing the chances that I'm hated with the heat of a thousand suns?” Here's my answer : 1. Don't do it. 2. No really, just don't do it. 3. If your boss is making you do it, find a better job. It's a great time to be an inbound marketer. There's a red hot market for marketing jobs. 4. OK fine, if you have to do it, at least don't buy a list of email addresses. 5. You've already bought a list, haven't you? [sigh] 6. OK, fine. Let's start with the subject line: Don't play tricks on people. Don't lure them with a clever, open-bait subject line. Sure, you might get them to open your email, but chances are, they're not going to be impressed by your cleverness once they figure out that you duped them.  Your goal is n...

Here is something to look into before you add a link on your blog post as part of helping a friend out.  I think link building is good for SEO. For incoming and outgoing links. For example, I have teeth whitening blog and you have teeth whitening blog. Both blogs need to link each other and can benefit each other. But let's say you have casino blog or site. I have teeth whitening. If I link to you, I am devaluing my site to link to special niches which are objectionable. Like a casino, poker, tobacco, etc. That niche links outgoing from your site is bad for you.

Whenever people say that "SEO is constantly evolving," that's a cop-out. Google is simply killing all of the old tricks one-by-one. Today, as Google gets closer and closer to thinking like a human being, the solution is two-fold: 1. Do all the technical and on-page stuff 2. Just do good marketing, advertising, communications, and PR because "off-page SEO" is just doing those things by other (buzzword) names Essentially, SEO results now come as simply by-products of doing proper web development and good marketing.  well these articles are base on this post from MOZ published by a guy who thinks blur!! that SEO can't be sold  Why I Stopped Selling SEO Services and You Should, Too You haven't stopped selling SEO, you're just getting better at communicating what's involved in it and what the value of it is. I think the way you've structured the post is dangerous though. Someone reading it could take it to mean that SEO is...

This is not a complex, statistical study but a basis to understand the types of content that work on Inbound. We’ve analyzed everything with 100 or more votes at Inbound.org to get an idea of the topics that get the most attention and upvotes. Content that works at Inbound.org will most likely click with your target audience as well. This analysis will be of great help for anybody looking for topics to woo the B2B audience. Existing work on the topic? We’ve tried searching for posts on similar topics but I found just a couple. This one barely scratches the surface. It makes some valid points like the length or the person submitting the posts matters but most of these findings are not practical or makes much sense. For example, the posts submitted in the month of January will do well or title length is everything. There’s another analysis but with similar results though it mentions that AMA and Google related topics get the most views. We are more interested in the real thing i.e. ...

Is it just me, or has every platform been rolling out some serious changes (improvements!) the first quarter of this year?  While we couldn’t possibly review every single change that has been released just these first few months of 2019 and the impact it could have on performance, we can review some key updates from Bing. Bing Integrates with Yahoo & AOL Search In case you have been focused only on Google or Facebook, you might have noticed that your Bing traffic has probably increased. Earlier this year it was announced that with the Verizon deal,  Bing would now serve all of Yahoo’s search traffic.  Advertisers should have been prepared to see an increase of up to 15% from search campaigns targeting the US. The partnership accomplishes several things: Increased traffic provides Bing Ads advertisers more opportunities to target high-quality users Oath ad platform advertisers now have access to significantly more tools, automation and most importantly, data. ...

Google has announced on  Twitter  a new bug yesterday, this time with Google possibly selecting unrelated canonical URLs. Google said this can impact breadcrumb trails on mobile which might reflect the unrelated URLs. Google also said, "in rare cases, it might prevent proper indexing." Google said they are fixing this and will update us when it is fully resolved. I personally did not see many complaints about this issue in the forums, but clearly, Google spotted this bug and was transparent about revealing the issue. In addition, Google said this can cause new indexing issues where Google won't index specific URLs. This doesn't seem related to the indexing issue they fixed weeks ago, nor the more recent Google News indexing issue. It seems new.
