I love you Sam, what I learnt in SEO is just because of you , even I don't listen and read others except you. One thing that I like the most is that you reply my every question. That's connect me with you most than others and this built trust on you . Keep growing Boss ❤️❤️
Great work Sam, love you how you thread together so many related concepts. Just when my brain jumps to the next problem, you address it in the next segment of the video - genius!
Great video Sam cheers. How about some meta description lovin next? Ps. I appreciate that you don’t ram Ahrefs down our throats as a hard sell for those of us starting out and unable to afford a tool yet. It’s nice to have options. I’ll say that Ahrefs really does seem great though, will definitely check it out when I can justify the spend (ie established 😀)
sam if possible then make video on micro niche blog work plan like how to rank faster, how to work on micro niche blog , how to earn from it , how to find micro niche blog topic and some ahrefs special that how to dominate micro niche blog , if possible make this video sam as fast as you can and this video was also a great one as always keep loading more
Great video. You go a bit too quick but love the content. I've been using the process in the second half you suggest and it works great! I LOVE free ways to increase leads. I'm amazed at how few business owners know what Search Console is, let along use it for finding opportunities from the figures in it. Its an AWESOME tool. Thanks for making this video Sam.
Great walkthrough Sam! Would love to hear your thoughts or experience on a good process or tools out there for testing title tags against one another. I know Brian Dean put out a paid WP plugin for this awhile back, but I've heard surprisingly little about more advanced ways to approach title tag optimization besides simply swapping new ones one at a time and monitoring results.
Tough question, Tyler, but a good one. I believe Coschedule has a headline testing tool. In my opinion, it's best to just analyze the top 10 SERP, see what stands out to you as being (click-worthy - not clickbait), and form one that you're happy with. From there, get ranked in the top 10 and look to Google Search Console for areas of improvement. An additional layer you can add is to look at the SERP position history graph inside Site Explorer for your competing keyword. Add the top X domains and see the volatility of their rankings over time. You can try experimenting with "similar" (not the same) parts of the headline to see if you can better meet search intent. Title testing is tough and there are definitely tools out there. Unfortunately, I haven't personally used them for a long enough time to say that one's great and another isn't.
Hey Sam, What strategies would you suggest if we wish to rank#1 on this long-tail keyword "commercial cleaning contracts"? Any help from you will be genuinely appreciated.
Impossible to answer with a definite answer. I'd recommend you watch this video to learn how to analyze the SERPs and figure out what you should do - ua-cam.com/video/Rm1MbJneLSI/v-deo.html - SQ
Hi Sam! thanks a lot for great expertise, you are very helpful :) I have a few questions, which i could find at ahrefs. Here it is -1. How many keywords are recommended to optimise at a time and how often i would need to change them? 2. Is it a good idea to write blogs which are trendy but not much related to your niche, but come across with the interest of your audience? (as i can see several bad and good points about it). 3. How many blogs a month would be a good number to upload? I hope this is not too much to ask. Many thanks in advance, i trust your opinion
Thank you for the positive feedback. Here are some insights on your questions - 1. The more related keywords for your target topic you get, the better the results will be. On average top SERP pages rank for about a 1000 keywords. Do not change your target keywords if you already rank for these, better update your topic with more valuable data and start ranking for some extra keywords in trend. 2. It is about the value that you get from such posts. This video might be a good help for you - ua-cam.com/video/9fglNtHmc8I/v-deo.html 3. One post per week is more than enough. You can post less to make sure your content is literally outstanding. Do not forget about content audit - ua-cam.com/video/tWNvAGwiVqo/v-deo.html
What if the SERP intent is inconclusive and filled with all kinds of results? I am looking at a keyword that shows guides on different issues and also ecommerce results etc.
Sometimes it happens. I would check historical data of SERP within Keyword Explorer. By checking trends for URLs that are getting better rankings lately would be a better choice for search intent. Hope that helps. - Max
In most cases content update can be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/9HWna4hK47c/v-deo.html Also, take a look at this article about content refresh: ahrefs.com/blog/content-refresh/ Hope it helps! -Helen
After watching a few videos, I will finish watching all the courses, I am Bangladeshi, so if it takes time to understand, and these are very fast, we are used to watching very slow videos. If I see it a few times, it will be fine
I have few pages on first page but not one number 1. I knew that optimizing the title can improve my CTR but at the same time i am also afraid to do so fearing that i might even lose the rank i have. So my question is if i rank on first page and optimize the title, will it hurt the SERP or can affect negatively??
Check the keywords this page ranks for. Then make sure you keep the important part of the current title and add a small click-bait portion for better CTR. This should not give you negative results. Just keep testing and tracking😉
Great video as always. What can I use to improve my tittle if the the search volume is very low ( keyword is 2 in Ahreffs) so i can not see any other suggested keywords.........Can I still write the title as "best headphones " and hope for the best ( there is no parent topic)? ( my query is in spanish and it seems that few people is feeding Google with questions, so there is no even a list of suggested keywords available) . Any advice ? Thanks!!!
Hey Alex. Tough to say with what's been said (and I don't understand Spanish). If there is no parent topic or "top keyword" in the SERP overview, I would try two things: 1. Update the SERP in Keywords Explorer (there's a button at the top of the overview page) 2. Try using a new seed keyword > phrase match > use the include feature to look for "best" in your language and see if there might be a better keyword to target. Highly recommend watching our series on keyword research, which should give you some nice insights :) ua-cam.com/video/3zLBu_NfOaQ/v-deo.html
@@AhrefsCom Thanks for your rapid response. I have watched the videos, those were the reason for me to purchase the software. Unfortunately, it seems that you can not use it potential in South america where Google is not fed with question like in the US, so no data or few data is available to take decisions or follow the recommendation in your videos. I will keep trying to make it work. Many thanks again..!!!
Ah ic. Try and toy around with it and make sure that you have set the correct country in Keywords Explorer. I believe by default, it will be set to the US, so if you're searching for Spanish terms there, then they would likely be lower than the country in which you're targeting (unless you are looking for US searchers).
Hi, Sam & Ahrefs team, Great work uploading insightful videos on producing quality content. But right now everyone is talking about E-A-T. Any solutions for Google core updates or algorithms? The problem is when traffic drops people do weird stuff on their website and it will go flat dead soon(years of work). There are 1000's of queries in Google product forums for traffic drops. If you can provide some insight into what direction we should take; it will be great. I'm sure many Ahrefs users are also facing the same issue this year. Thankyou

I don't think ''the'' is a really usefull modifier, since it doesn't really add anything. I believe Google sees them as the same. As for modifiers like 2019, these are definitely worth using
