    Good idea to go back and see how our content performs with the competition. When you guys mentioned performing the battleship method and going back to update older content that has a chance to rank, that was wise advice before a thousand other SEOs started talking about it later, Lol.

  • @JordyBuck

    Patterns that work? I've done the best with posts containing good tables. With WordPress, I have to be sure the table doesn't look too awkward, but I've seen the best results with posts containing clear, original, non-awkward tables. Lately I'm working more on bullet lists. I'll see how it goes. Other than that, original thematic pictures with value-added captions, descriptive and clear subheadings, and communicate expertise though my genuine personality.

    Hey Ricky! I'm making a website about travel guides for a particular niche audience. Obviously, the topics covered for each destination will be fairly similar and so the mini-headlines within each article will be the same across the board. I was wondering if this will count against me on the Google Rankings as repeated content. Do I need to diversify the way I write these mini headlines, or is the fact that the content under each headline will differ article to article be suffice to avoid any problems? Thanks so much for another great video!

    Somehow search console and google analytics is not showing me queries that my website is ranking for. There is small amount of organic traffic as per analytics and search console data. Is that because my website is still not ranking for any queries? Or can it be because my website has less content (10 posts) and is relatively new (5 months)? I am not sure.

    Great content as always
    Quick question though
    Do you recommend blogging in English or in our native language? (if it's not English)
    I feel like I can reach a more targeted audience in my native language and the competition must also be lower. But there's also a larger potential with English.
    Thanks guys

    Hey Ricky, I like the video and the approach you took to make these comparison, I just learned a new method to find keywords that I rank for but have never written about.
    I have a quick question:
    I have two blogs in the sports niche, let's call the sport type A and B. I have written content on them they're about 6 month old. I was wondering if its a good idea to get a new domain that is broad enough let's say domain C then merge A and B to C the do 301 redirects.
    I wanted to do this so that I can have just one website in the sports niche instead of having 5 or 6 different sites on various sports.
    What's your say on this.

    I know you’ve said to answer tangential questions in a post but sometimes it seems like they could be multiple posts.

      You are entitled to feel that way, but if you had any idea what actually happened in the business, I'm pretty sure that you would not be making comments like this. I wish you the best of luck following whomever you like, but would encourage you to not make disparaging comments when you are not absolutely positive you know the whole story. It only reflects poorly on you. If you don't find Ricky's content helpful, you don't have to watch. If you do find it helpful, the Internet could always use more kindness. Thanks!
