Welcome back to another episode of the Niche Pursuits News podcast. This week Josh Blackburn fills in for Spencer, and he and Jared sit down to discuss the most relevant news in SEO, digital marketing, website creation, and beyond. The first order of business is the 2 additional updates Google recently launched following the Helpful Content Update that essentially left the niche website community battered. Jared and Josh weigh in on what they think will happen. Is this Google's way of “tweaking” the results of the HCU? What should website owners do with their sites during these updates? Tune in to hear what they think. They talk about a series of things website owners can do to improve their rankings in the wake of the HCU, touching on topics like ad density, usability, pop-ups, and article word count. They also share their observations about the update's winners and losers and the importance of looking at your website as a business and emulating the features that Google looks for in a business. Jared and Josh move on to talk about Google's antitrust lawsuit and the revelation that it might be altering search results to get better ad results. They talk about some shady emails that were leaked that give an inside look at how Google operates, but the truth is that there are a lot of changes going on now in search and it remains to see how everything will play out. The next topic is how more and more publishers are blocking GPTBot, with news outlets following suit. Jared asks, “Why would you not block it?” Will partnerships be the way forward? What does the future look like for content creators in the world of AI? Jared and Josh share their thoughts and concerns. In the Side Hustle Shenanigans portion of the podcast, Jared reports on his Amazon Influencer side project. September earnings exceeded his expectations in the first half of the month only to drop off a cliff in the second half. Although he still earned over $2k, it's unclear how profitable this “experiment” will actually be. What's Amazon doing? What does the future of the program look like? Is it worth starting to make videos if you haven't already? Tune in to find out what happens in the months to come. Josh then talks about a DR32 site of his which saw a massive drop in clicks over time. He recently added 4000 unedited AI articles to it as an experiment and he started to see an improvement; however, with the HCU, it got crushed. He's going to wait and see if it bounces back or not and how future updates affect it. They move on to talk about their weird niche sites. Jared's is Cuddle Comfort, which was first created in 2011. This DR32 site ranks for just 2k keywords but may be getting up to 1 million visits per month. He and Josh talk about how it creates trust and they talk about its monetization techniques. Then it's Josh's turn, and he shares Sunglasses ID, which identifies all the different sunglasses worn by celebrities and in the movies and includes an affiliate link for users to buy them. This DR31 site with just over 1000 pages is 14 years and 260 days old and gets 70k visits per month. They talk about how the publisher might get all the data for all of the sunglasses. Then Josh reveals a second site, WatchID, which follows the same concept. This site was created about 17 days after the first site and has a lot of scope for improvement. Are there similar ID sites out there? Maybe! That brings us to the end of another great podcast on the current SEO landscape.

Welcome back to another episode of the Niche Pursuits News podcast! This week Spencer sits down with Josh Blackburn, a growth marketer at Link Whisper with an extensive background in SEO to talk about the latest news for affiliate marketers, website owners, SEOs, and content creators. They kick off the show by talking about how Google recently released its earnings for Q2 and the CEO, Sundar Pichai, said that the Search Generative Experience is going to gradually get better, faster, and more accurate and that user feedback has been extremely positive so far. Spencer and Josh put those comments into context and were skeptical of his statements, but one thing is abundantly clear: SGE is here to stay. Spencer does a few searches using SGE and he and Josh talk about the results. The next topic is Twitter and Elon Musk's rebranding of the company as X. Musk has a broader vision for Twitter as a massive brand where, in the future, users would be able to send payments, message others, shop, etc. Spencer and Josh talk about the future trillionaire's plans and whether or not they think he'll be able to pull it off. In the Shiny Object Shenanigans portion of the podcast, Spencer starts by talking about his new software, Rank Logic. He shares that it has done better than he expected since its launch and talks about how it works. He also mentions two new features that were recently added which allow users to see how content is performing based on their category or tags. Josh then talks about a niche site he's been working on. It had been growing until it got hit with an algorithm update and lost most of its traffic. Josh is currently experimenting with that site by uploading AI content, sometimes up to 200 articles per day. He reveals that his traffic has increased not from the new content but, rather, from the old content. He and Spencer talk about why this may be, how he does it, and what his plans are for the site. Then it's time to talk Weird Niche Sites. Spencer's site is not that weird, but it is very successful: PDF2go. The site ranks really well for PDF-converting keywords and has lots of display ads. It's probably getting 10 million visitors per month and may be making 6 or 7 figures, also per month. Spencer talks about how the website probably started out with a one, simple free tool and, over the years, grew into a very lucrative business. Josh shares his site for the week: PercentageCalculator. This is just a simple, free, 3-page website that gets between 220k visits per month, according to Ahrefs, and 2.4 million, according to SimilarWeb. Along the same lines as Spencer's example, they talk about the possibility of replicating these sites' success. And that brings us to the end of another great episode of Niche Pursuits News.

Men's grooming products and male grooming in general consist simply of a bit of hair gel, some deodorant and perhaps a quick trip to the barbers? That's what we thought until we discovered in this Green Beauty Conversation that men have their fair share of bad hair days too. Rarely, however, are they a catalyst for starting a business. But for two 20-something lads from London, that’s exactly what happened. In this episode, we talk to Josh Blackburn who along with best friend Liam Jennings founded Regal Gentleman in 2014 as an online retailer of men's grooming products. Starting out at the height of the beard boom, Josh and Liam went on to build an impressively loyal and large community of customers. Today, four years on, the entrepreneurial duo are about to launch their own men's grooming products under the Regal Gentleman label. Talking to Josh, we discovered that male grooming means a whole lot more to men than about creating image. With Regal Gentleman making men’s health and well-being central to their brand’s ethos, we feel they are capable of fulfilling their company's mission to ‘Redefine the Modern Man’. Men's Grooming Products: Podcast Insights In this episode, you’ll hear about: The trends defining men's grooming products. How men's grooming brands are helping challenge age-old stereotypes of manhood. Why we may see men buying make-up within five years. What men think about natural grooming and skincare products (for now, anyway). Josh also gave us valuable insights into what it takes to build an online business, and had some key take-aways for anyone thinking of launching their own brand: Entrepreneurs are the average guy or girl and learn on the job - so don’t believe the hype! Value your customers first and foremost as a community of individuals with incredible stories and insights that can help your product development. Focus on creating great content that addresses your customers’ questions. Get yourself on camera! Don’t wait to use video such as live streaming, Youtube and Instagram stories. Just do it! As you'll hear, we’re not just talking men's grooming! Regal Gentleman launches this summer, so check it out on the links below, where Josh and Liam loom large. The duo are great examples of how to use social media to its best.
