Контекст и SEO

Posted by DawnMacri Understanding search intent can be the secret ingredient that brings your content strategy from okay to outstanding. As an SEO Strategist at a digital marketing agency (Brainlabs), we often find clients on the brink of ranking success. They’re sitting on stellar content that simply isn’t ranking for their target keywords. Why? Oftentimes, the keywords and the intent simply don’t match. Here we’ll discuss the different types of search intent, how to determine the best intent for given keywords, and how to optimize for search intent. First–let’s iron out the basics. What is search intent? Search intent (also known as user intent) is the primary goal a user has when searching a query in a search engine. Many times, users are searching for a specific type of answer or resource as they search.

В Сети появились подробности о бюджетном смартфоне Realme новой линейки Narzo. Интересно, что характеристики Realme Narzo 20 Pro просочились в Сеть благодаря действиям известной в Индии торговой площадки Flipkart — администраторы поспешили настроить контекстную рекламу на еще не представленную официально модель. Эта самая реклама говорит о том, что смартфон получил SoC MediaTek Helio G95, поддержку зарядки мощностью 65 Вт и экран с кадровой частотой 90 Гц. Цена смартфона составит $230 в эквиваленте. А чуть ранее Narzo 20 Pro засветился на живых фото с квадрокамерой на тыльной панели. Увы, характеристик камеры пока нет, но можно думать, что она примерно будет соответствовать камерам схожих по цене смартфонов Redmi.    Комментировать

Posted by rjonesx. Since day one of SEO, marketers have tried to determine what factors Google takes into account when ranking results on the SERPs. In this brand new Whiteboard Friday, Russ Jones discusses the theory behind those ranking factors, and gives us some improved definitions and vocabulary to use when discussing them. Click on the whiteboard image above to open a high resolution version in a new tab! Video Transcription Hi, folks. Welcome back to another Whiteboard Friday. Today, we're going to be talking about ranking factors and the theory behind them, and hopefully get past some of these — let's say controversies — that have come up over the years, when we've really just been talking past one another. You see, ranking factors have been with us since pretty much day one of search engine optimization. We have been trying as SEOs to identify exactly what influences the algorithm. Well, that's what we're going

Posted by SabrinaBomberger If you’re working in e-commerce through the COVID-19 crisis, you’ve likely noticed some wild shifts in the way your products are viewed and consumed by the public. After all, the needs of the entire world have changed in some capacity. It makes sense that purchasing habits have, too. This shift in demand might require an equal shift in your marketing strategy. As an SEO, you need to make sure that you understand the new demands on your product in the given market, and ensure any on-site changes are SEO-friendly. These strategies apply not only in the midst of our current pandemic, but also during any rapid or unexpected change in product demand. E-commerce sites are facing two very different scenarios With my own e-commerce clients, and as a consumer myself, I’ve noticed two ways

Posted by AnnaleisMontgomery With businesses making the move to serve their customers primarily online and the footfall of customers in physical stores dropping dramatically, the value of SEO has been rediscovered. Businesses are now paying closer attention to their online experience and how they can compete on the internet.

This includes information suitable for businesses that haven’t engaged with SEO as a channel before, as well as those who have had more experience with it. The goal is to gain more traffic and increase conversions. Scenario 1: You don’t know what keywords you should be ranking for Targeting the right keywords is central to getting a

Posted by randfish We all know how effective link building efforts can be, but it can be an intimidating, frustrating process — and sometimes even a chore. In this popular Whiteboard Friday originally published in 2017, Rand Fishkin builds out a framework you can still use today to streamline and simplify the link building process for you, your teammates, and yes, even your interns. Click on the whiteboard image above to open a high-resolution version in a new tab! Video Transcription Howdy, Moz fans, and welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. As you can see, I'm missing my moustache, but never mind. We've got tons of important things to get through, and so we'll leave the facial hair to the inevitable comments. I want to talk today about how to prioritize your link building efforts and opportunities. I think this comes as a big challenge for many marketers and SEOs because link building can just seem so daunting. So

Большинство из нас бесит то, что владелец сервера читает нашу почту. Конечно, делают это алгоритмы, а не живые люди, но от этого не легче: мутная контекстная реклама, собранная из обрывков фраз, недостаточная безопасность, да и просто осознание того, что твою переписку может просматривать условный товарищ майор — бесят. Кого-то бесят в большей, кого-то в меньшей степени. Еще у части специалистов есть пунктик на тему красоты почты. Хочется красивый, короткий, запоминающийся адрес, который бы показывал, что вы не просто gmail-холоп, а вполне самостоятельная боевая единица на полях IT-сражений. А кто-то хочет просто экспериментов. Эти люди уже сами собирали ядро системы, тонко настроили домашний медиа-сервер, научили роутер качать все подряд с файлообменников без участия ОС. Теперь нужно поднять свою почту, приватный VPN, а дальше можно посмотреть в сторону написания драйверов или на другие активности уровня «хардкор». У многих IT-специалистов существует запрос, который

Posted by MiriamEllis Image credit: Danny Sternfeld In creating a Google My Business listing for your local business, making a data-based decision is one of the most important steps you’ll be taking. Just how influential are the categories you select? Our recent State of the Local SEO Industry 2020 survey found that, out of all factors, GMB elements (which include categories) have the greatest impact on local pack rankings. Choose wisely, and these elements help ensure Google views you as a candidate for possible inclusion as a result for a set of search phrases. Choose wrongly and you can exclude yourself from this vital visibility. Google categories can also play a role in determining which features will be available to you in your Google Business Profile/Google listing. For example, if you’re

Posted by izzismith Google Search Console is by far the most used device in the SEO’s toolkit. Not only does it provide us with the closest understanding we can have of Googlebot’s behavior and perception of our domain properties (in terms of indexability, site usability, and more), but it also allows us to assess the search KPIs that we work so rigorously to improve. GSC is free, secure, easy to implement, and it’s home to the purest form of your search performance KPI data. Sounds perfect, right? However, the lack of capability for analyzing those KPIs on larger scales means we can often miss crucial points that indicate our pages’ true performance. Being limited to 1,000 rows of data per request and restricted filtering makes data refinement and growth discovery tedious (or close to impossible). SEOs love Google Search Console — it has the perfect data — but sadly, it’s not the perfect tool for interpreting that data. FYI: there’s an API In order to start

Не так давно я опубликовал статью о CLI для React-компонент, который для меня стал первым публичным npm-пакетом. И так как мне хотелось поделиться своими наработками с как можно большим кругом разработчиков я начал изучать разные способы улучшения своей позиции в поисковой выдаче на разных специализированных сайтах. В попытках улучшить свое положение я опирался на поиск в npm, yarn и npms. И если вы сейчас откроете страничку моего пакета в любом из этих трех сайтов, то результаты там будут, к сожалению, скромными и я попробую объяснить почему и порассуждаю на эту тему. Читать

Posted by randfish Have you ever tried to create 10x content? It's not easy, is it? Knowing how and where to start can often be the biggest obstacle you'll face.

Click on the whiteboard image above to open a high-resolution version in a new tab! Video Transcription Howdy, Moz fans, and welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. This week we're chatting about how to create 10x content. Now, for those of you who might need a refresher or who haven't seen previous Whiteboard Fridays where we've talked about 10x content, this is the idea that, because of content saturation, content overload, the idea that there's just so much in our streams and standing out is so hard, we can't just say, "Hey, I want to be as good as the top 10 people in the search results for this particular keyword term or phrase."

«JavaScript Developer. Basic». Хотите узнать больше о курсе «JavaScript Developer. Basic»? Приглашаем вас на бесплатный вебинар, в рамках которого преподаватель курса даст ответы на все интересующие вопросы. Есть несколько современных подходов к разработке приложений. Два самых популярных — это одностраничные приложения (SPA) и приложения с серверным рендерингом. Одностраничные приложения отличаются высокой производительностью.Хотя после некоторых обновлений поисковый робот Google стал обрабатывать их немного иначе, результаты SEO для них все еще не впечатляют. Серверный рендеринг позволяет более эффективно оптимизировать приложения для поисковых систем, при этом их производительность в этом случае тоже будет вполне приличной. С появлением таких замечательных JavaScript-фреймворков, как Next и Gatsby, стало появляться больше приложений с серверным рендерингом.Давайте разберемся, почему одностраничные приложения — не всегда хорошее решение, особенно в тех случаях, когда вам нужен

Posted by amandamilligan As you might imagine, it’s not easy to get your brand name mentioned in top media outlets. But if you put in the work to engage in content marketing + digital PR, the benefits are massive: High-quality backlinks to your site A significant boost in brand awarenessAn increase in your brand’s authorityImproved relationships with writers who loved your content I’ll explain how you can earn this type of coverage and its corresponding benefits for your brand. Step 1: Create newsworthy content You probably have an instinctual sense of what qualifies as news, but some of the key newsworthy elements are timeliness, proximity, and significance. Timeliness is tough. Hard news is usually covered by media outlets automatically anyway. However, there’s a way to create news — and it’s through data

Posted by rjonesx. Hey folks, I'm Russ Jones, Adjunct Search Scientist with Moz, and I'm proud to announce that this month we’ll be releasing a terrific update to our metric, Page Authority (PA). Although Page Authority hasn't attracted the same attention as its sibling metric Domain Authority, PA has always correlated with SERPs much better than DA, serving as a strong predictor of ranking. While PA has always fluctuated with changes in the link graph, we’re introducing a whole new method of deriving the score. Learn More About Page Authority 2.0 What's changing Long gone are the days of just counting backlinks a couple of ways and hoping they correlate well with SERPs. As Moz tends to do, we’re pioneering a new manner of calculating Page Authority to produce superior results. Here are some of the ways we’re changing things up: The training set In the past, we used SERPs alone to train the Page Authority model. While this method was simple and direct, it left

Posted by Cyrus-Shepard If your websites are like most, they include a fair amount of extra "stuff" in the title tags: things like your brand name or repeating boilerplate text that appears across multiple pages. Should you include these elements in your titles automatically? To be fair, most sites do. Alternatively, could it help your SEO to actually include less information in your titles? (Or at least in specific circumstances?) We know from a handful of studies that titles of a certain length tend to perform better. A now-famous study from the engineers at Etsy showed how shorter titles performed better than longer ones. SEOs speculate that this could be because shorter titles can have more focused relevancy (by focusing on core keywords), might earn higher click-through rates, or some other reason we can't

Posted by ipfister Since Moz released the new Google Data Studio Connectors for STAT, you might be wondering how to best implement them for your reporting strategy. My colleagues at Path Interactive and I absolutely love how granular you can get with your reports in STAT, and finally having the ability to cleanly and effectively pull those reports into Data Studio (the tool we use for our own reporting) is a godsend. While the Historical Keyword Rankings connector reports on rank over time, it may not be as obvious how to report on rank change over time. In this post, I'll give you step-by-step guidance on how to report on rank change — as well as a couple other filtering and reporting tips — while using the connectors within Google Data Studio. If you aren't a STAT user yet but you want

Я хочу здесь описать кейс с одним из лучших (на мой взгляд) способов управления лимитами дневных бюджетов для контекстных рекламных кампаний. Мне кажется подобная схема может подойти компаниям с не прямой монетизацией трафика, например для досок объявлений (classifieds), в тематике авто, недвижимости и всего-на-свете. Возможно не только им. Это мой первый опыт написания публичных статей, так что сорри, если что не так. Буду рад конструктивным комментариям. Читать дальше →

Posted by NicoleDeLeon To anyone working in SEO, it’s fairly evident that this is a male-dominated industry. Although there are powerful women SEOs in the field (like Moz CEO Sarah Bird, for example), if you glance at a conference speaker lineup or peruse the bylines on search-related blogs, you’ll see that those who identify as female are few and far between. A recent list of the 140 most influential SEOs featured 104 men and just 36 women.  So how big is the gender gap? And how does it translate to tangible things like pay and job titles? To find out, we mined the data from our State of SEO 2020 survey, which featured 652 SEOs in 51 countries. Here are some of the things we learned. But first, a mea culpa. If SEOs who identify as women have an uphill climb in this industry, there’s no doubt that female-identifying SEOs of color

Привет! Нам для принятия решений нужен был срез, насколько ждать или не ждать вторую волну всяких окукливаний и карантинов. Официальная статистика, конечно, вещь классная, но хотелось получить более практические метрики. Вообще, если вы когда-нибудь принимали решения в более-менее крупном бизнесе, то знаете, что полных данных никогда в принципе не бывает, и часто нужно искать какое-то сопутствующее поведение людей, которое может дать нужные числа.

Posted by GeorgeRoot As digital PRs we can often get stuck with our "campaign goggles" on, especially in the ideation and production stage of a creative campaign. By this I mean, you have a preconceived idea of where you'd like your campaign to be featured, what kind of headlines you want it to achieve, and how people should read your data and story. As we all know, we can't control the outcomes of a campaign, but we can certainly push them in the right direction. To give your link building campaigns the best chance in the outreach stage, you need to make sure there is enough creative diversification during the production process, especially for data-led pieces and surveys. This opens up your "journalist pool" and gives you a ton more people to outreach to with a potential interest in your

Posted by willcritchlow I’ve been in an introspective mood lately. Earlier this year (15 years after starting Distilled in 2005), we spun out a new company called SearchPilot to focus on our SEO A/B testing and meta-CMS technology (previously known as Distilled ODN), and merged the consulting and conferences part of the business with Brainlabs. I’m now CEO of SearchPilot (which is primarily owned by the shareholders of Distilled), and am also SEO Partner at Brainlabs, so… I’m sorry everyone, but I’m very much staying in the SEO industry. As such, it feels a bit like the end of a chapter for me rather than the end of the book, but it has still had me looking back over what’s changed and what hasn’t over the last 15 years I’ve been in the industry. I can’t lay claim to being one of the first generation of SEO experts, but having

Posted by Dr-Pete Needless to say, we're facing more and more complexity in our everyday work, and the answers to our questions are about as clear as mud. In the wake of the 2018 mobile-first index, and since more searchers are home and not on-the-go, we're left wondering where to focus our optimization efforts. Is desktop the most important? Is mobile? What about the voice phenomenon that's now become part of our day-to-day lives? As with most things, the most important factor is to consider your audience. People aren't siloed to a single device — your optimization strategy shouldn't be, either.

Posted by ryanmoothart Our world changed dramatically in March of 2020 as a new viral threat to our livelihoods took hold in the United States and around the world. Here in the US (at the time of writing this post), COVID-19 has not relented Some industries have been more heavily affected than others. For example, travel and tourism businesses have been hurting far more than many other industries due to social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders. However, all businesses should re-evaluate their planned budgets for paid search and other paid digital campaigns for the next 12 to 24 months. Hopefully, this pandemic cedes faster than that and the economy comes out of our pending depression more rapidly at some point next year. But since nobody can know for sure when that will happen, it’s better to be safe and plan

Сейчас пул инструментов в рамках интернет-маркетинга у любой компании или интернет агентства довольно широк, от стандартных и уже устоявшихся, вроде SEO, до сравнительно новых, таких, как SMM и ORM. Если про первые два практически всё уже изучено и новые фишки появляются редко то с ORM все обстоит несколько иначе. Большинство даже не знают, что означает эта аббревиатура. ORM, или же управление репутацией, сравнительно новый способ продвижения, по крайнем мере в том виде, который есть сейчас. В этом блоге я хотел бы разобрать базовые (и не совсем) явления в рамках управления репутацией в интернете и темой для моей первой статьи здесь станет заказной чёрный пиар. О чем пойдет речь? Под управлением репутацией чаще всего понимают именно исправление плохого инфополя своей компании. Однако в бизнесе нередко бывает, что помимо улучшения показателей своей компании, хотят и насолить конкурентам. В такой момент, как правило, решаются на заказной черный пиар. Стоит уточнить, что речь

Posted by R0bin_L0rd Many of us are helping businesses that are facing hard times, or we’re facing hard times ourselves. If you’re working for a company (or client) that's in trouble, the use of SMS chatbots could be a way for you to look outside your normal list of solutions and help them succeed in a completely different way. If you’re a marketer looking for work, adding this to your list of skills could mean you keep things ticking along while many of the usual doors are closed — or that you open new doors. What you’ll get In this post, I give you instructions and code to produce not just one, but a series of text-based chatbots that can be managed by Google Sheets. The example here is set up to work with restaurants, but could be adapted to work with any business that needs to receive orders, check them against inventory/menus, and note them down to be fulfilled.

Posted by brian.ho Data visualization platforms have become a vital tool to help illustrate the success of a body of work. Painting a clear picture of your SEO efforts is as important as ever, whether you’re reporting out to clients or to internal stakeholders at your own company. More and more SEOs are turning to data visualization tools to do so — pulling in data from across multiple SEO tools, blending that data in unique ways, and helping to pull back the curtain on the mystery of SEO. Platforms like Tableau and Google Data Studio are becoming more commonplace in the SEO community as we seek better ways to communicate with our teams. We’ve heard from a number of folks in the Moz community that having a central dashboard to present data has streamlined their own reporting processes. It’s also made information more digestible for colleagues and clients, as they can see everything they need in one place. Thanks to the helpful feedback of many, many STAT customers, we’ve

Posted by amandamilligan One of the best ways (and in my opinion, the best way) to earn top-quality links is to create your own studies, surveys, reports, etc., and pitch them to online publishers. This is what we do at Fractl, because it’s a tried-and-true way to elevate organic growth: Over the years, we’ve received a lot of questions about what results to expect. Sure, everyone wants links now, but where does the real growth come in, and how long does it take? And in either case, people want to know what wins they can report on to their superiors, even in the short-term. There are so many benefits to this combination of content marketing and digital PR, and I’ll walk through what you can realistically expect, and feature examples and data from our experience working with Porch.com.

A Fortune 50 company's website wasn't converting customers as it had hoped. In fact, it wasn't doing well at all. It hired a marketing company to improve the SEO, which succeeded at driving more people to the site. Yet conversions were still down. Continue reading...

Posted by Shannon-McGuirk We've all been there: you plan, launch, and eagerly await the many returns on a content campaign, only to be disappointed when it falls flat. But all is not lost: there are clever ways to give your failed campaigns a second chance at life and an opportunity to earn the links you missed out on the first time. In this popular Whiteboard Friday from 2018, MozCon speaker Shannon McGuirk graciously gives us a five-step plan for breathing new life into a dead content campaign.

Posted by MiriamEllis Image credit: J.B. Hill What’s the good of a survey if it doesn’t result in at least a few surprises? I know my own eyebrows leapt skyward when the data first came in from the Moz State of the Local SEO Industry 2020 Survey and I saw that, in a break with tradition, participants had placed user-to-business proximity at a lowly third place in terms of influencing Google local pack rankings. Just a year ago, our respondents had voted it #1. If you’re feeling startled, too, here’s our chance to take a more granular look at the data and see if we can offer some useful theories for proximity’s drop in perceived dominance. First, a quick definition of user-to-business proximity What do local SEOs mean when they speak of user-to-business proximity? Imagine an Internet searcher is

Posted by DaisyQ I hate to tell you, but Googling “blog topic ideas” is not going to give you the content you should be creating. Not all content is created equal. Letting the internet tell you what to blog about leads to mediocrity. Mediocrity is fine in some cases, like forcing yourself to show up at the gym at 5:00 p.m. when you’d much rather call it a day. But if you’re going to try and stand out in the very crowded search results page, you won’t stand a chance. The reality is, it’s hard The web is overrun with companies that have bigger budgets than you and can churn out content every day. Meanwhile, you’re lucky to get a blog post out once a month. Where you put your time can make or break your digital efforts. How do you compete? What content will grow your traffic month after month and year after

Welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. I'm Cyrus Shepard here at Moz. Today we're talking about the next official Google ranking factor — Core Web Vitals. Now what do I mean by official ranking factor? Google makes hundreds of changes a year. Every week they introduce new changes to their algorithm. Occasionally they announce ranking factor changes. They do this in particular when something is important or they want to encourage people, webmasters to make changes to their site beforehand. They do this for important things like HTTPS and other signals. So this is one they actually

Posted by cheryldraper Wow! What a crazy ride MozCon has been this year. In case you missed it, we were able to double the number of attendees and include over 2,800 people. Not only were we able to include them, we were also able to see their families, pets, and home offices. It was an unusual experience for sure, but one we won’t be forgetting any time soon. As always, the speakers served up some flaming hot content (including an actual movie). We can’t wait to share some of these takeaways with you!

Posted by DaveSottimano We’ve officially released the Moz API for Google Sheets and want to take you on a quick feature tour. This Google Sheets add-on allows users to gather Moz URL metrics easily without using code directly in a Google Sheet and provides a few extra functions to help you manipulate data. In the past, if you wanted link metrics for hundreds of URLs, you either had to enter them manually one at a time, or you needed technical expertise to use the LinkScape API. So, I built this free Google Sheets add-on, and now you can pull link metrics for those URLs in seconds, no coding required. Here are a few use cases for the Moz API for Sheets add-on: Get Moz Spam Score in metric to assist toxic link analysis (paid plan required).Get domain authority and page authority in bulk to help you assess the quality of sites for link outreach, domain valuation, and more (available with free and paid plans).Use built-in custom formulas to parse URLs, save URLs to

So much of the day was different from what we expected six months ago, but the one thing we can always count on from our speakers is a MASSIVE amount of value.

Для многих компаний Nginx + Apache + PHP — очень типовая и распространенная связка, и Timeweb здесь не стал исключением. Однако разобраться, как именно она реализована, может быть любопытно и полезно. Использование такой связки, конечно, продиктовано потребностями наших клиентов. И Nginx и Apache играют особую роль, каждый решает определенную задачу. Основные настройки Apache выполняются в конфигурационных файлах самого Apache, а настройки для клиентских сайтов происходят через файл .htaccess. .htaccess — конфигурационный файл, в котором клиент может самостоятельно настроить правила и поведение веб-сервера. Такая настройка будет относиться конкретно к его сайту. Например, благодаря функционалу Apache пользователи могут менять режим работы в рамках одной версии PHP с mod_php на mod_cgi; можно настраивать редиректы, оптимизацию для SEO, удобный URL, некоторые лимиты для PHP. Nginx используется как прокси-сервер для перенаправления трафика на Apache и как веб-сервер для отдачи

We're working hard to make this year special, including leveling up our speakers for their remote sessions. I recently shared my own set-up on Twitter: This stirred up quite a bit of interest in our set-up and equipment list, so thanks to Cheryl on our events team for filling in the blanks for me, and thanks to our amazing A/V partners at Seamless Events for helping this all come together. Also, many thanks to our speakers who gave me permission to share their photos and let you in on some of the magic behind in front of the curtain.

Posted by Paddy_Moogan Over the years, I’ve often referred to our link building work as “campaigns”, which isn't wrong, but isn’t completely right, either. I think that as an industry we need to alter our mindset to focus on what link building should be: an ongoing, integrated, business-as-usual activity. Link building processes that work for brands now and that will continue to work in the future need to sit closer to the rest of the business. This means tighter integration with other disciplines, or at the very least, acknowledgment that link building isn’t a siloed activity or dark art like it used to be. In this post, I’d like to propose how we should think about link building and share some ways to make it more sustainable, efficient, and effective. The problem with campaigns I want to start by being super clear on something, and I make no apologies for reiterating this throughout this post: Link building campaigns aren’t a bad thing. My core point is that they

On your best days, you’re keeping: Team members and clientsAll the moving marketing parts ...in constant, useful motion. On your worst days, though, mistakes happen when: Communication breaks downStandard procedures aren’t understood company-widePeople feel rushed No local SEO agency or in-house SEO wants to waste time and resources on a scenario like building a GMB listing for a business model that’s ineligible, pushing out incorrect NAP because it wasn’t vetted by the right department, or having to contact a client multiple times because the onboarding process wasn’t thorough enough to get all the information needed in a single step.

I’m dedicating today’s column to the manager of a nearby Sprouts grocery store who personally drove my order to my door when an Instacart driver just couldn’t get the job done. If your business or clients are weighing whether to fulfill delivery in-house or partner with a third party, my small experience is an apt footnote to the huge, emergent debate over last-mile fulfillment options. I’d searched all over town for scarce potatoes, finally arranging by phone with the local Sprouts market to hold their last two bags for me one morning, and texting the Instacart driver about where the spuds were being held. Next: For whatever reason, the driver chose not to retrieve them, claiming the manager told them there was nothing being held for me. Not

And who’d have guessed that in the UK, the exclusively online supermarket, Ocado, is now worth more than brick-and-mortar grocers Morrisons, Sainsbury's, and Marks and Spencer combined.

Posted by amandamilligan I’m a big fan of the Lore podcast, and in a recent episode, the host discussed a book called the Malleus Maleficarum. Two words starting with the “mal” prefix doesn’t sound super friendly, right? Well, the book is essentially a guide on how to identify witches and conduct witch trials. It turned out to have quite the horrible impact on society — as we’ve learned in history classes — but the host notes that it’s also one of the first how-tos ever written. And it was published in 1486, ore than 500 years ago. How-to content isn’t new, and from what I can tell, it isn’t going anywhere. Look at how many search results come back when you narrow content down to titles including “how to.”  It’s not just that there’s a ton of this type of content, either. People want to read it.

Posted by Portent This blog was written by Tim Mehta, a former Conversion Rate Optimization Strategist with Portent, Inc. Running A/B/n experiments (aka “Split Tests”) to improve your search engine rankings has been in the SEO toolkit for longer than many would think. Moz actually published an article back in 2015 broaching the subject, which is a great summary of how you can run these tests. What I want to cover here is understanding the right times to run an SEO split-test, and not how you should be running them. I run a CRO program at an agency that’s well-known for SEO. The SEO team brings me in when they are preparing to run an SEO split-test to ensure we are following best practices when it comes to experimentation. This has given me the chance to see how SEOs are currently approaching split-testing, and where we can improve
