Podcasts about Traffic

In this episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry Kennedy dives into one of the biggest traps chiropractors fall into — chasing vanity stats. From gross income to new patient counts to website traffic, these numbers can look impressive on the surface but often lack the context that actually matters. Jerry shares hard-earned wisdom on how to separate meaningful metrics from meaningless ones, how to keep your ego in check, and how to focus on the numbers that truly move your practice forward. 1. What Are Vanity Stats? Jerry explains that vanity stats are numbers that sound impressive but don't actually reflect real success. These include: Gross income without expenses New patient counts without retention Website traffic without conversions Rankings without relevance Without proper context, these stats can create false confidence or unnecessary frustration. 2. Why Vanity Metrics Are Dangerous Vanity stats are seductive because they make chiropractors feel successful, but they can easily distort reality. Jerry warns that: People exaggerate or manipulate their numbers online. Gross income often hides massive overhead. Social media and professional circles amplify unrealistic comparisons. He shares a story about a chiropractor friend who appeared far more successful based on gross revenue but actually took home only a little more than Jerry — at the cost of massive stress and a complicated business. 3. The Comparison Trap Jerry compares vanity metrics to social media highlights — people showing their best moments and hiding the rest. Chiropractors often compare their unfiltered reality to someone else's filtered image of success, which leads to unnecessary frustration and burnout. He reminds listeners that success isn't defined by looking impressive — it's defined by how well your practice serves you, your patients, and your life. 4. Examples of Vanity Stats in Chiropractic Jerry gives real-world examples of chiropractic vanity stats and how they can mislead: Gross income: Without understanding expenses, it's meaningless. New patients per month: If retention is low, this stat is hollow. Patient visits per week: A high number doesn't mean success if fees are unsustainably low. Website traffic or Google ranking: Traffic that doesn't bring in new patients is worthless. He even shares how his own site once ranked for "ring dinger" searches — great traffic, but totally irrelevant for his business. 5. What Metrics Actually Matter Jerry offers practical guidance for what chiropractors should really focus on: Net income: What you actually take home. Expenses: Keep them tight; most chiropractors overspend. New patient origin: Know where people are finding you. New patient quality: Focus on patients who are a good fit for your care. Retention: Track how long patients stay and how often they return. These are the metrics that indicate the health and sustainability of your practice. 6. Jerry's Tips for Avoiding the Vanity Trap Don't believe every number you hear — most lack context or honesty. Don't brag about your stats — it feeds your ego but helps no one. Share stats only in a teaching environment — context is what makes them valuable. Focus on meaningful growth — not looking impressive to others. Keep your expectations grounded — unrealistic goals only cause frustration. Key Takeaway Vanity stats might look good on paper, but they won't make your practice better or your life easier. Focus on metrics that actually impact your income, your stress level, and your ability to serve patients well. Quotes to Remember "Gross income out of context doesn't mean anything." "You're comparing your real life to someone else's highlight reel — and you can't win that." "Your ego is not your friend." "Know your stats, focus on the ones that actually matter."

Traffic control and a shortage of volunteers have officially grounded Santa's sleigh in the small town of Piopio in the Waitomo District. At the Christmas eve parade Santa would normally float in via SH3, however the rising cost of closing the highway and managing traffic means Santa will instead park-up on a side street near the village with other floats. Chair of the Project Pio Pio Trust Melanie Simpson spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Beatles produced five films during their time together: A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be. Some were cinematic successes, and some were not, but―along with subsequent reissues, bonus material, and Peter Jackson's The Beatles: Get Back, a documentary companion to Let It Be―they comprise an endlessly fascinating document of key phases in the group's career.In this comprehensive deep-dive into the band's movies, author and longtime music journalist Steve Matteo follows the origins, filming, and often frenzied fan reception of projects from the 1964 premiere of A Hard Day's Night through 1970's Let It Be to the release of Get Back in 2022. Matteo explores the production process, original theatrical film releases, subsequent VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray releases, and bonus materials, along with the US and UK soundtracks. In addition to copious anecdotes and behind-the-scenes details, he also places these films in their larger context, a period of unprecedented artistic and commercial innovation in British and world cinema. Filled with stories and insights that will satisfy collectors, buffs, and casual fans alike, this is the definitive account of an underappreciated part of the Beatles' creative output.

Visit their website to learn more!Sponsorship demonstration?Every edition of this newsletter allows me to continue to experiment with getting messages out to people who are paying for that for one reason or another. This all began in 2020 when I was considering a launch and created a Patreon account. Many of the shout-outs you see and hear are because I created a system where people or entities that paid a certain amount could get some sort of a benefit.Over the years, I've offered more opportunities for people to qualify for shout-outs but the vast majority of people who are eligible for that system don't take advantage of it. And as the audience grows, so does the value of reaching people.In addition to this newsletter, there's also Information Charlottesville, a companion website that provides a more robust archive than what my current service provides. Traffic there is light but the potential is there for that to serve as a community archive.I'm not ready to broadcast the media kit I've put together yet because it's not quite ready. I've still got a lot to learn and I'm looking for people and entities that would like to help support the business while assisting me with my experimenting.I am a one-person operation and I put the reporting first. But as I continue this experiment I find myself intrigued with a part of the business I've never really been part of except for my attempts to sell ads in the early 1990's for a college newspaper.Drop me a line if you'd like to learn more.

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin decide which everyday inconvenience they would turn into a supervillain origin story. Is it trying to find the end of a roll of tape? Traffic jams? Spotty Wi-Fi?! BARBER SHOP RULES?! You'll just have to listen to find out. However, once the dorks finally feel satisfied in their answers, they move onto the main topic of the night: Which villain lairs would pass an OSHA inspection? Seriously, this is important stuff. Among the lairs they review are Bowser's Castle, the Death Star, and Mr. Freeze's headquarters. Perilous indeed.   Things are wrapped up with another round of "How Many Actors To Guess The Movie?" where Doug lists off actors from a movie and Justin has to try and guess the movie in as few actors as possible.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

"Certain formats consistently trigger AI Overviews: clear explainers and definitions, step-by-step how-tos, detailed comparisons and buying guides, and local discovery content with consistent business details," writes Laughlin Rigby, Digital Transformation & AI Director of Core Optimisation The search experience has fundamentally changed. Users no longer just scroll through ten blue links, they are reading answers. Google's AI Overviews, now reaching 1.5 billion users across 200+ countries, synthesise trusted sources into concise, cited summaries above the fold. Meanwhile, agentic browsers like ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity's Comet, and Edge Copilot sit beside the page, comparing options and completing tasks on behalf of users. This shift demands a new approach: be citable, machine-readable, and action-ready. The classic pillars of SEO remain foundational. What's changed is how we express them, ensuring machines can reliably extract and act upon our information. The behavioural shift When AI-generated answers appear above the fold, click-through behaviour transforms. Traffic concentrates on pages offering canonical facts, original insights, and proprietary data, which is precisely what AI assistants quote. Expect fewer low-intent sessions but higher post-click quality. KPIs must evolve to emphasise assistant-layer visibility through citations and mentions, alongside completion metrics like enquiries and bookings. The content strategy follows: write answer-first, then layer in nuance. Address likely follow-ups on the same page. Becoming citation-worthy Earning citations from AI systems requires deliberate choices. Remain discoverable. Allow reputable AI crawlers like OAI-SearchBot in your robots.txt. Keep high-value pages indexable and track assistant-origin traffic. Structure for dual audiences. Employ semantic HTML and WAI-ARIA. Write one idea per paragraph. Use proper tables for data. Implement schema.org markup for Article, Product, FAQPage, Organisation, and Person, always including datePublished and dateModified timestamps. Clear headings and concise sections improve both human comprehension and machine extraction. Deploy focused FAQs. On high-intent pages, add four to six genuine questions marked up as FAQPage schema. Place direct answers first, then link to details. Demonstrate provenance. Feature named authors with verifiable credentials. Cite reputable sources and maintain claim consistency across channels. Maintain currency. Regularly update priority pages, eliminate duplicates, and establish a single canonical source for each claim, price, or specification. Provide reliable APIs. AI assistants act, not just read. Publish OpenAPI endpoints for dynamic information like prices and availability with stable IDs and clear errors. For complex interactions, develop an official integration. Measure rigorously. Track AI Overview presence, citation share, and SERP features. Monitor assistant referrals using server-side tagging. This is continuous, data-driven optimisation for the assistant era. Campaign strategy in the AI Era Use consented, verifiable sources and label AI-assisted copy where appropriate. Develop a concise brand style guide documenting preferred phrases and model summaries to help your tone survive AI paraphrasing. Establish a visible "source of truth" for prices, policies, and key figures. Position this prominently and mirror it in structured data, ensuring AI assistants quote your facts directly.

You've been staring at your blog for months (maybe years), convinced you picked the wrong blog niche. You watch other bloggers succeed in what looks like your exact space while you're stuck refreshing analytics and wondering if you should rebrand. Again.Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to hear: your niche probably isn't the problem. Your execution is.In this episode, I'm breaking down why 80% of blogs fail within 18 months (spoiler: niche selection isn't even on the list), sharing the painful story of how I rebranded three times before I figured this out, and revealing the research that proves execution quality beats niche selection almost every single time.Plus, I'm sharing something I've never done before: I'm building The Productive Blogger Method in real-time with 10 founding members who are done making excuses about their niche and ready to fix their execution problem. This isn't a polished course. This is me building the execution system bloggers actually need, together with women who are ready to stop spinning.If you've ever convinced yourself you need to start over with a new niche, this episode will either relieve you or make you uncomfortable. Probably both.Listen if you:Keep questioning whether you picked the right nicheHave rebranded or considered rebranding in the last yearWork hard on your blog but see minimal resultsKnow what to do but can't seem to do it consistentlyWonder why other bloggers succeed in "your" niche while you struggleEpisode Highlights (Pull Quotes):"The niche was never the problem. My inability to stick with anything long enough to see it compound was the problem.""You can have all the information in the world. You can prompt AI for the perfect content strategy. But if you're not consistently executing on the right tasks, none of it matters.""Success doesn't follow the people who research niches the longest. It follows the people who pick something viable and execute consistently until it works.""80% of blogs fail within 18 months. When researchers dig into the causes, you know what they find? Inconsistent publishing. Poor content quality. Inadequate promotion. Giving up too soon. Niche selection doesn't even make the list.""You're not failing because you chose gardening instead of home organization. You're failing because you don't have a system that tells you what to execute today to make money tomorrow.""Traffic without conversion architecture is just noise.""The missing piece isn't knowledge. It's the system and discipline to execute consistently on what you already know.""Your niche probably isn't holding you back. The 47 missing pieces in your execution are holding you back."Key Takeaways:1. Research proves niche isn't the problem80% of blogs fail within 18 months, but niche selection never makes the list of failure causesHubSpot study: 71% of unsuccessful bloggers lack documented content strategy vs. 36% of successful onesContent Marketing Institute: 74% who improved results did so through strategy refinement, not niche changes2.

If you thought SEO was complicated…meet its AI-powered cousin.In this episode, Carly and Joe break down the buzzword that dominated INBOUND, AEO (AI Engine Optimization), and explain what it actually means for solopreneurs. Spoiler: it's not about gaming algorithms or chasing clicks. It's about making sure your voice, ideas, and frameworks show up when AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini answer your audience's questions.You'll learn:What AEO really is (and what it isn't)The small tweaks that help your content stand out in AI search resultsWhy clarity > cleverness in your copyAnd why human connection still beats machine optimization every timeIf you've ever wondered how to future-proof your visibility without losing your authenticity, this one's for you.FAQs From The EpisodeWhat's the difference between SEO and AEO, and do I really need both? SEO helps search engines (like Google) find you. AEO helps AI engines (like ChatGPT or Perplexity) understand and surface your content. While SEO is still valuable, AEO focuses more on structure, clarity, and credibility signals that make AI choose you as the source when answering questions. You don't need to overhaul everything. Just start optimizing for both audiences: humans and machines.I'm a coach/consultant/service provider. Does AEO even matter for me? For most solopreneurs, relationships and referrals still drive the majority of business. But AEO is a long-term play. If someone asks an AI tool, “Who's the best productivity coach for solopreneurs?” or “What's the SMOOTH method?”—you want your name, content, or frameworks to appear. It's not urgent, but it's smart to start now so you're discoverable later.What's one simple AEO tweak I can make today? Add an FAQ section (like this!) to your website or blog posts. AI scrapes well-structured Q&A content, and it's one of the easiest ways to signal authority. Bonus tip: use clear, direct language over clever wording. AI prioritizes clarity, and so do readers.
