Welcome back to another episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast! This week Spencer and Jared cover all the latest happenings in the SEO and content creation space and share their opinions and insight. Then they share some very interesting and inspiring side hustles they're working on, and they wrap things up with some weird niche sites. They jump into things with the news that Google's March Update is finally complete!  It finished rolling out on April 19th, and Spencer and Jared discuss the update in general, how long it took, and why its conclusion might not have been announced by Google until later.  They talk about Google's original ambitions with regard to the update and the feedback form they created as well as the site reputation abuse update that's going to get underway. They also discuss why nobody has recovered from the Helpful Content Update, whether Google even knows how someone might recover, and what this all means. They move on to discuss the winners and losers from the March 2023 Core and Spam Updates, looking at different types of traffic losses and naming some surprising sites on the list as well as looking at some of the winners. Of course, Amazon, Reddit, and YouTube come up, as do dictionary sites, Etsy, and Quora. Moving on, they share an article on HouseFresh about how it no longer appears in Google Search and how Google is killing independent review websites.  They show the article's graph, which reflects a giant 91% decline in traffic, and discuss interesting topics it covers, such as the rise of Forbes in Search and keyword swarming. Spencer and Jared then share a public plea from Marie Haynes for Google to help publishers hit by the update.  Why is this unusual? How does Jared summarize the situation? As for their Shiny Object Shenanigans, Spencer talks briefly about his Amazon Influencer Program side hustle.  He shares his earnings for the last 30 days and talks about his future plans for it. Although this project provides passive income, Spencer actually gave a highly detailed presentation as part of his Niche Pursuits Community program where he talked about all the work that went into the side hustle in the beginning.  Jared then goes on to talk about his Amazon Influencer side hustle, talking about the new videos he's uploaded in 2024 and his total earnings for March and April. How did he do? How do his stats measure up to Spencer's? He also talks about his most recent newsletters side hustle, which of the 2 is getting the most traction, his Facebook page lead generation strategy, and his current number of email subscribers. Tune in to hear more about his strategy. As for their Weird Niche Sites, Spencer goes first with Secret Fan Base, which takes a closer look at the story and clothes from well-known brand Banana Republic.  As the clothes are now more mainstream and mass produced, the site covers its original safari style and is created by a group of original fans. Although it doesn't get a ton of traffic, the site has a unique story and is a true labor of love. Jared shares his site, Passport Waiting Time, and shares some of the site's interesting aspects, like a forum. This DR27 site is ranking for 2k keywords and gets 3k in organic search traffic per month. They discuss potential strategies the site could use, its current monetization, and why they think the site wasn't impacted by Google's updates. That concludes another great episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast.  We hope you learned about the latest events in the space and that you're feeling inspired by the conversation.

Welcome back to another episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast, where Spencer and Jared analyze the latest news in SEO, digital marketing, and website building and offer their unique insight. You won't want to miss this episode, especially if you were affected by Google's Helpful Content Update.  As the update has officially wrapped up, this week Spencer and Jared dedicate a lot of time to talking about its massive impact on the industry. They share common insights and important takeaways from 4 SEO experts: Lily Ray, Glen Gabe, Barry Schwartz, and Marie Haynes. According to the experts, this update, the 3rd and largest of its kind, looked at over-optimized content and the authenticity of reviews. It also potentially penalized websites with the blogroll on the homepage and sites using too many affiliate links with no context.  User experience is another big topic, with Google appearing to penalize sites that are poorly-designed, sites with broken links and, perhaps most importantly, sites with aggressive ads and pop-ups. They also speak about how data reporters have not picked up on the volatility of this update, how niche site owners have been extremely affected, and how UGC seems to have been rewarded as opposed to SEO content. They discuss the importance of building a brand on multiple platforms, the importance of verifiable credentials, and the need for content from trusted sources that is truly helpful. Jared and Spencer then talk about the possibility of recovering from the update and self-assessing your site using Google's guidelines, and they offer sage advice to website owners who have been negatively impacted by this update.  In the next portion of the podcast, they share and analyze real sites that have been positively affected by the update, talking about why they think that is and what they're doing right. They specifically look at sites in the finance and travel spaces. They also take a closer look at a few sites that have lost traffic following the update, in the travel niche. Don't miss their conclusions about the update, their opinion on the future of the industry, and their advice on moving forward for site owners. Although they dedicate the bulk of the podcast to talking about the update, they do speak briefly about their current side hustles in the Side Hustle Shenanigans portion of the podcast.  Spencer speaks about his AI website challenge and how some of those creators are already seeing a little bit of traffic. He'll also be hosting a second YouTube Live on Monday, October 2nd, along with an AI expert. Jared briefly talks about his Amazon Influencer side hustle and his Weekend Growth YouTube channel.   As for Weird Niche Sites, Spencer shares his: HowToPronounce, which is getting 1.4 million visitors per month, according to Ahrefs. It's ranking for lots of keywords with significant traffic, although it looks like it was hit by recent Google updates. Jared's site, I Might Be Funny, is a good example of UGC (but not SEO), as it amalgamates and shares content originally published on social media. Although it has a DR of just 6, it ranks for 4k keywords according to Ahrefs, some of which have significant traffic, and gets around 5k organic visitors per month. As always, talking about these weird niche sites allows Jared and Spencer to share some fantastic advice and inspiration when it comes to picking a niche and building websites. Tune in again next week when they bring their expertise to talk about the latest news in SEO and beyond.

Episode 177 contains the notable Digital Marketing News and Updates from the week of Sep 4-8, 2023.1. Google August 2023 Core Update - Google has confirmed that the August 2023 core update, which began rolling out on August 22, 2023, has completed on Sept 7, 2023. This is the second core update of 2023, following the March 2023 core update.FYI: Core updates are major changes to Google's search algorithm that aim to improve the quality of search results. They are not focused on any particular kind of content or website, and they can affect rankings for a wide variety of websites. The early SEO industry chatter suggested this update was a fairly impactful update compared to previous core updates. The exact impact of the August 2023 core update is still unknown. Google stressed that pages impacted by core updates aren't necessarily flawed. According to Google, this update focused on improving Google's overall content assessment. As always, Google advised site owners to focus on quality content as a response to fluctuations in search rankings. Sites that are experiencing a dip should consider conducting an audit to understand which pages were most impacted and for what types of searches. Google also cautioned that improving your website content may not lead to an immediate change in rankings.2. Google Updates Helpful Content Guidelines: Self-Assess Your Content & Remove Unhelpful Content - Google recently updated its documentation on the helpful content system, designed to identify and demote low-quality content from search results. The updated documentation now states that website owners should self-assess their content to determine if it is helpful to visitors. If website owners find their content unhelpful, they are encouraged to remove it.Marie Haynes asked Danny Sullivan, the Google Search Liaison:"Google's documentation on the helpful content system talks about recovering by "removing unhelpful content" in order to get the unhelpful content classification removed. Any chance we could get more clarity on this? Do you mean: -remove parts of pages that contain large amounts of text readers will likely skip over? -remove entire pages that offer little original value? -perhaps both? Does a site need to remove unhelpful content published in the past in order to recover? Or could they focus on simply producing content that is helpful and original from this point onwards. Would that be enough?"Danny replied: "People should self-assess their content to understand if they believe it will be helpful to visitors. Keep content on pages or entire pages or whatever they believe is helpful. Get rid of things that aren't, if they're looking critically at them as a visitor."I know that Google does not provide specific guidance on what constitutes unhelpful content. However, the documentation does provide some general examples, such as content that is plagiarized, spammy, or irrelevant to the user's search intent.Website owners concerned about their content being labeled as unhelpful should carefully review their pages or enlist the help of a trusted third party. How do you all go about assessing if your content is helpful or not?3. Google Sites: Not Ideal for SEO - Google Sites is a free website builder that allows users to create and publish websites without coding knowledge. The Google site is a hosted website builder that's free and published under a sites.google.com domain, although one can opt to use an actual domain name. Now, Google's John Mueller shared additional details on Google Sites and SEO after someone asked him why Google did not index his Google site. Here is what John replied:"Taking a step back, websites created on Google Sites can and do get indexed in Google Search. However, the URLs used in Google Sites are hard to track since the public version can differ from the URL you see when logged in. To be blunt, while it's technically indexable, it's not ideal for SEO purposes and can be complex for tracking in Search Console. If SEO is your primary consideration, exploring other options and checking the pros and cons before committing might be worthwhile. For performance tracking in the Search Console, you could also use your domain name for the Google Sites content. Using your domain name makes it easier to migrate, should you choose, and allows you to verify ownership of the whole domain for Search Console. "P.S: The Google Sites service is popular with link spammers who create links on Google subdomains in a tactic called "Google Stacking." The idea behind Google Stacking is that spammers generate a page of links on Google Sheets, Google Docs, etc., and then interlink them all from a Google Sites. Google Stacking is based on the mistaken belief that there's "authority" and "trust" in Google subdomains that is transferred over to the spammer sites through links. Of course, that's wishful thinking. There's no such thing used by Google called "trust" or "authority" that gets transferred from one site to another through links.4. The Best Way to Do Paid Guest Posting (According to Google) - Whether paid or unpaid, guest posts are an old tactic. In 2014, Google's Matt Cutts wrote a blog post telling SEO practitioners to "put a fork in it," since guest blogging does not work anymore.The same year Google issued a series of penalties on guest blogging platforms. But these days, Google doesn't hand out penalties like it used to. Google stops the links from passing PageRank. That makes it hard to know whether the guest post is working. So people keep guest posting because the penalty feedback isn't there.During the September 2023 Google SEO Office Hours, an individual asked: "Most websites only offer the option to purchase a "guest post" (to gain a backlink) from them nowadays. Is this against Google's guidelines if I'm writing valuable content?"John Mueller answered: "It sounds like you're already on the right track.Yes, using guest posts for links is against our spam policies. In particular, it's important that these links are qualified in a way that signal that they don't affect search results.You can do this with the rel=nofollow or rel=sponsored attributes on links. It's fine to use advertising to promote your site, but the links should be blocked as mentioned."So, Paid Guest Posts with links are advertisements as far as Google is concerned. Failure to label advertisements is not only misleading to readers but may also violate laws that prohibit misleading advertisements. 

In April of this year, we lost about 3% of our traffic overnight. I thought it was the Helpful Content Update, but after a consultation with Dr Marie Haynes it became more apparent that it was the Reviews Update.But wait - I have less than 5 product reviews on my site! How can that be??This in-depth episode reveals three of the eye-opening insights that my consultation revealed.I'll share you how I thought I was doing all the "right" things when it came to demonstrating experience - and the specific tasks me and my team are prioritizing for recovery.Buckle up friends...we're getting in the weeds. Not to scare you or confuse you... but in an effort to be transparent and helpful, I'm dishing the deets.

Time management strategies are key to entrepreneurial success. Discipline and consistency trump talent when trying to grow a business. When you adopt these time management strategies, you will work less and achieve more. Who doesn't want that when trying to grow a business Time management strategies that work to build your business in 8 to 10 hours a week Eight hours a week equates to 416 hours a year. That is a lot of time to accomplish what you want to do. Set very specific business hours to work on your business. This needs to be non-negotiable. Holly used 6 to 7:30 each morning to work on her business. You can accomplish a lot in a short amount of time, but if you need more time, choose a longer block of time for a strategy session, for example, 6 to 8 on Saturday morning. Set business hours but also incorporate strategic time to focus on the bigger picture. Take at least two hours a week and map out what's working, what's not working, and what you are going to change to reach your goals. In addition, use 1 hour a week on Sunday, to plan for the week ahead. When you have little time, create theme days so that you can focus your time and accomplish the most possible. For example, every Monday is the day for creating content, and every Wednesday is the time for podcasting. You can also have a specific day for client calls. To build your business in under 10 hours a week adopt these time management strategies: set business hours, have a weekly strategy session, have a planning session, and establish theme days.   Read the full show notes and access all links.   Download 10 Strategies to Grow Your Business Without Social Media.

Holly shares her real-life examples and stories of why ONLY relying on social media can be problematic, and what to do about it.

I interviewed Charles Floate, an SEO known for ranking websites in ways that go against Google's spam guidelines. We discussed PageRank and the importance of links in Google's algorithms. Charles revealed ways he's been able to manipulate Google's guidelines and succeed, though I don't condone such practices. Our chat helped me reform my thoughts on links and their power to move the needle for rankings. Links are most definitely important in Google's algorithms and will likely remain the core for quite some time. But as Google develops new ways to identify quality content, most of which comes with AI innovations, I believe PageRank is not as important to SEO as it used to be. In this video Charles shows me how he is able to get sites to rank. Some of what he is doing is actually improving E-A-T! I must reiterate that breaking Google's policies can lead to serious consequences While good links can be powerful, building your own links is often either ignored by Google, or can cause manual or algorithmic penalties which can be very difficult to identify and recover from. My hope with this video is not to encourage blackhat SEO tactics, but rather, to talk about the power of GOOD links and how that power is much more than PageRank. Thanks for doing this, Charles. I enjoyed our chat!

There's a growing perception that Google is in decline or dying. In an article in the Atlantic, Charlie Warzel interviews Marie Haynes, Dannie Sullivan and Rand Fishkin to try to understand his growing dissatisfaction with Google's results. Is it too commercial, too corporate or too sanitized? He is not sure but he does know its not what it used to be.What would Google local search results look like if Google couldn't put the Local 3-Pack at the top of search results? A recently discovered test may give us a clue. New 'Local Cards' have appeared in organic results. They offer less information but still link to GBP pages, not local websites.Even if this test is abandoned, we need to be prepared for change in local SEO and local marketing if the anit-self-preferencing act passes Congress. . There is growing anecdotal evidence that users are switching to alternative methods to discover local goods and services. Is GenZ ready to abandon Google? Have they already moved on to TikTok and Instagram? Google has lost other search battle before but have managed, by hook or by crook, to stay relevant. The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.Near Memo Ep 70

In this episode, Marie shares her thoughts on semantic search. Semantic search is search that's based on understanding the meaning of words and the connections between them. In 2013, the Hummingbird algorithm made it possible for Google to expand their semantic search capabilities. With each new advancement in AI and NLP, they get a little closer. Semantic search could possibly explain how Google can algorithmically tackle the questions they give us in their article on what site owners should know about core updates. This episode discusses how SEOs can use a knowledge of semantic search to improve the quality of their websites in Google's eyes.

Today is January 7th, 2022 and I'll be talking about some Google SERP updates, a Google ads error, New Display Ads for Podcasts in Spotify, WordPress major security release, Making money from a site hack, and some actionable tactics to help drive customers to buy.Full Show Notes @ https://opinionatedseo.com/s2e5Google has launched a “Shops” section in the mobile search results with three results that can be expanded to 10. Google's statement: “We recently launched Shops, a new module available on mobile devices for select US-English shopping-related queries,” https://searchengineland.com/google-launches-shops-section-in-mobile-search-results-378256https://twitter.com/b4k_khushal/status/1477337833643786242Google looks to be testing or updating their Google Discover section with trending searches. See if it's updated on your device.https://twitter.com/jasonmandragona/status/1478748397372940290Google Ads has an error right now when saving exact keywords saying they are being saved as broad. Google Ads Liason replied that it was a bug and they were working on fixing it. So don't be alarmed, but is this the beginning of the end of match types? https://twitter.com/adsliaison/status/1479189369529450496 While we're talking about ads, Spotify is going to be bringing display ads to Podcasts. Spotify is calling them Call-to-Action cards. These will be visual and interactive during ad plays as well as retargeting while exploring the app. https://www.newsroom.spotify.com/2022-01-06/spotify-introduces-call-to-action-cards-for-podcast-ads/ Wordpress released a security release yesterday which patched 4 major vulnerabilities. This affects versions 3.7 to 5.8, so pretty much any WordPress install out there. https://wordpress.org/news/2022/01/wordpress-5-8-3-security-release/ So, if your site is hacked, what do you do? First, you get it cleaned up and then make sure your IT or Dev Ops is taking proactive steps to ensure that it can't happen again. If you don't know anything about cleaning up - check out SUCURI, I've used them in the past to clean up a hacked site and they took care of things in just a matter of hours.So what did years ago when her main site was hacked and started ranking for Michael Kors handbags. she was able to remove the hack and then redirected all of those pages to Amazon using her affiliate link. She made a few hundred dollars before turning it all off.https://twitter.com/Marie_Haynes/status/1479143529020592130Katelyn Bourgoin spent over 1500 hours learning about cognitive biases and heuristics, the stuff that drives customers to buy and she put together a Twitter thread of the top 19 concepts that marketers need to know: https://twitter.com/KateBour/status/1478792178726019073
