The world of SEO: a crowded and noisy space where it’s easy to get information overload from many conflicting tactics and strategies.
And if you’re spending the majority of your time reading guides on how to do SEO rather than actually do it, you won’t learn anything.
So, this video will highlight some principles that are critical in learning SEO fast and effectively.
The first thing you need to do is to nail the fundamentals. You need to understand and learn what these fundamentals are before you can generate meaningful traffic to your site via search engines like Google.
The two key fundamentals you need to master are keyword research and on-page SEO.
After you’ve nailed the fundamentals, Sam recommends that you get an internship at a respected SEO agency. You’ll find out why this is the best way to learn, and how you can get an internship at a company you respect in the industry.
Sam also recommends you apply the 80/20 rules to SEO. The 80/20 rule, also known as Pareto’s principle suggests that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. You’ll learn how to apply this rule to your SEO education.
The next thing you should focus on is to refine processes rather than search for shortcuts. You’ll learn how to do this, as opposed to constantly seeking out shortcuts, hacks or the next shiny tactic.
Lastly, soft skills. SEO isn’t always about the hard, technical skills. Soft skills matter too. You’ll learn what these soft skills are, and why they are one of the greatest skillsets that all great SEOs have.
Timestamps:
2:24 - Learn SEO fundamentals
2:47 - Get an internship at a respected agency
4:12 - Apply the 80/20 rule for learning
4:53 - Refine processes rather than search for shortcuts to methodology
5:53 - Build perseverance
7:46 - Prioritize based on the things that are working for you

"Knowledge Overload" Most people who start with SEO always have this problem. Until they realise they need to do the actual work. Can't agree more. Thanks a lot Sam :)
Agree! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Kya bol gya english me mujhe bhi bata yrr😂
@@AhrefsCom what do you do if no one hires you for internships
Do more than you read. Thanks Sam. I Think patience is the key. Watch, analyse, and understand all the ahrefs videos. Tons of knowledge for free.
Glad you enjoyed the video, Nestor :)

Thanks for the video Sam, you were so right about "Information overload". People who are theoretically strong are definitely bound to lose against people who learn things by doing.
If you learn things but never try to do it or use it somehow, then you do not grow. New knowledge needs to be crafted with actions by very SEO, otherwise consider that you never learnt it.
- Max
Sam i try to watch each and every video of yours becuase it provides to the point and accurate information. You mentioned to reach out to people for internship even if its without any salary.

Hallo
Nice tutorial
Thank you!
Quality video!
Thanks!
Your tutorial is awesome, Sam. Is comments or forum posting or diretory site helpful a site?
I wouldn't spend time on it for the purpose of getting links. If you're participating in niche forums for the purpose of community, I don't see it hurting.
-Sam
Thanks, @Sam_oh Your videos are tremendous.😍😍
Thank you, Vishal!
Great video
Thanks!
Hello Sam, strong video as always. After watching what you said around 9:00 , I remembered i never saw you talking on how to index faster without any bad guideline. I looked in the ahrefs blog and didnt find either. Any place i can spread my way to go?
Greetings from Belgium!
Thanks for watching, Alexis! I do not think we have any video on that topic, but reading this blog post should answer your question - ahrefs.com/blog/google-index/

Nice article
Thank you!

Noticed you stopped the thing you do after introduction.
I wanted to know how can i increase the DA PA of my website?
It is right here - ua-cam.com/video/Q3voFGCpws0/v-deo.html
Domain Rating is based on the strength of your backlink profile. More authoritative links means better authority. So this playlist covers almost all of the aspects on how to make it happen - ua-cam.com/play/PLvJ_dXFSpd2tjUTuAHpHidz5e2hAedP_m.html
- Max
Thanks for a great video.
80:20 Rule is perfect.
Would have any video or blog where seo task could be based off this rule?
Or seo implementation matrix or something where we can understand which tasks can be done under limited budget, time and can have the biggest impact?
Thanks in advance :-)
Tasks take different amounts of time for different people, so there isn't really a "one-size fits all" matrix. You may want to watch our video on prioritizing your marketing efforts here: ua-cam.com/video/eedeyfy_B-Q/v-deo.html

Hi Sam, Thanks for another valuable video, Sam I had a question, that is it compalsory to get backlinks through outreach? Can we create profile backlinks, social bookmarking and free guest posting backlinks rather then outreaching?

You are welcome! Good job ranking your site on top ;)

This video is awesome🙂👍....
Fantastic video💯👍..
I have question in my mind :
Suppose we have a website from which we get revenue via Google adsense and affiliates.
So the question is :
Can we also earn money from donations i mean to say that even if i am not joining any company or organization then can i still get donation if i write some great content.
If i have a decent amount of traffic on my website then can i get donations for my blogs to earn something ?
Do i have to share e-books or products to get donations?
Please share your answers on this.
You can ask for them if you want. That's up to you :)

hello sam
please make video on micro niche site or niche site....pls🙏
Maybe in the future :)

Stay tune.... 🙂
Totally agree with you Sameer! Thank you for a positive feedback on our videos =)

Submit it via. Search Console.

You mention that it can take a year before reaching the first page of Google, does that apply to local SEO?
Our study was done on 2M random queries so I can’t say whether they were local or not.

If you work on low competition keywords, will you have to create backlinks ? please reply me
It depends on top 10 pages that rank for this keyword and overall domain authority of these top 10 results. So you might have chances to rank for some low competition keywords, but having some backlinks might be still required. Check this video for additional information about low competition keywords - ua-cam.com/video/lWrbSPb0YoQ/v-deo.html

Can you please create pdf as checklist in learning seo.

my website 20 days old but if search in google unable to find and no traffic and we define Seo Title and Meta Discriotion by Yost Seo but if search my website name directly in google it shows diffent meta discription ...then what we do for traffic and come in google search...please help and suggest .
Rohit, you need to consult with an SEO agency regarding that. 20 days is a very short period of time to get a website indexed.

What if you switch to a new Shopify theme? Will this reset your ranking?
It wouldn't, unless the new theme introduces technical SEO issues.

Hi Sam sir, I really hope you reply!
How to differentiate between so many websites of same niche? Is it even possible? I want to build a lasting website business.
But there's just so much competition. Sometimes, I feel like everyone is fighting to blood to get ranking on google. Does it have to be like this? How can one build a real business in affiliate websites? Is there any way to stand out? For example, Pat flyn's blog,Niche pursuits,Niche hacks-these ppl have built a real business. I just don't get how can I do it in a niche which is not a business or marketing like them. I hope you reply! (Thanks for these awesome content!)
There is no key to success. Hard work in a right direction is what brings you there. Find a niche you are knowledgeable in, create some good piece of content that will bring some value to your audience and do your best to promote this content, so that people know it exists. Watch our playlists on UA-cam one by one and then make some conclusions on how to move forward. Hope that helps.

How to get seo client without portfolio
As an option, create your small website, get some rankings and add it to a portfolio. You may also offer your services for a smaller price to get a lead. Finally, find a prospect where you know exactly how to help him and improve some metrics, prepare a roadmap and outreach showing your plan and estimated results. I am sure there are other options you can look at, just dig deeper into what you have to offer ;)

Hello, I have two questions
-1. Questions
Is it useful or harmful to show the category name in the URL structure? When I reviewed major tech sites, I noticed that the name of the category appears in the URL structure after entering the article content.
Example: www.techradar.com/reviews/samsung-ue43ru7020-4k-tv
Example: www.techradar.com/news/best-iphone
In your opinion, which of the following URL structures is good and healthy for SEO?
Example:
Category name: Apple
Title of Article: AirPods publication history
sitename.com/Apple/AirPods-Release-Date
sitename.com/AirPods-Release-Date
2. Questions
If there is the word "apple" in the content of the articles I have published in the Apple category on my site sitename.com/Apple I want to connect to the URL. If all content on my site contains the word "Apple", sitename.com/Apple I'm thinking of making a connection. You think that's the right move? Is SEO healthy? Or can my site eat spam?
"Is it useful or harmful to show the category name in the URL structure?"
In my opinion, for larger sites, it makes sense to do this. For smaller sites, I think it can go either way. I wouldn't worry about this too much.
Internal linking is important, but I wouldn't link every instance of the word "apple" to your category page. Just do it when it makes sense.

@@AhrefsCom Thanks Sam :)

"How to Learn SEO Fast and Effectively"
• why refining processes beats shortcuts.
ummmm okay sounds like a shortcut to me
Usually shortcut is a settled process to get fast results with less efforts. While refining processes is basically a contact review of what you do and how you do, as well as the results that you get when optimizing your workflows. Is it a shortcut?

Every time I build links I get asked for paying for links, is that natural? and how can I avoid that?
Karim, this is not natural, moreover it violates Google guidelines. Avoid paying for links and find prospects, who values your content and not your money.
- Max
@@AhrefsCom In the Arabic space it's impossible to find someone who's willing to allow you to guest post without you paying for the post
@@AhrefsCom I don't know how should I deal with that, this way I would never build any links shall I avoid paying for them
Find broken pages (404 ones) with a good amount of referring domains. Create a good piece of content around this topic and reach out to those sites that link to a broken article. You will point their attention to a broken outlink on their website, while offering a solution by providing a page with a fresh content around this topic. Mostly, they will have no choice other than replace a broken link with a link to your article.
