[@arliepeyton]

3:06 So really Volume is more accurately "National Volume' [pick country] versus Global Volume which is the grand total. 17K + 20K = "37K, "Traffic" column | This always tripped me up in the beginning because I was excited to see the big global and traffic number, but it's Local SEO I was after: a much smaller number. GOOD VIDEO & CONTENT REMINDERS. Thank you!

There's surely more to SEO content writing than just plain information! It is important to write content that will attract the audience and trigger more traffic to your website! You got to show you are highly knowledgeable about the things you are talking about to gain authority on the subject matter.

[@tanay_sankhe]

Amazingly explained Sam! With Google's December core update in the ranking algorithm, since this update focuses more on user experience (Three Site speed factors > LCP, CLS, TBT), I've observed that the site pages with less value in their content or not so comprehensive contents are ranking in SERP's just because they meet the benchmark scores of the three factors mentioned above. So, even if we create valuable and detailed content, we still won't rank in the top 10 if our site speed is less (in Google's eyes). Also, what is your opinion on this core update?

[@Mispelisfav]

Hi Sam. Great video as usual. I have a question: what is the difference between a headline and the meta-title? As I understand, the meta-title shouldn't be longer than 60 character but some of the examples for engaging headlines are way longer than that.

[@AhrefsCom]

The title tag is a piece of HTML code . This is often used synonymously with headline. Meta title is this piece of code . Not really necessary imo. -Sam

[@MartinZanichelli]

Ahrefs indicates keyword difficulty only based on the backlinks of the first ten results, but Google considers many other factors, such as the authority (your DR), so there are many keywords that you identify as KD 0 but are really very difficult because the first page of the Search is covered by authoritative sites.

[@AhrefsCom]

We often suggest using KD as a filter to narrow down topics from a large list. However, you'll still have to manually assess the difficulty via the SERPs. - SQ

[@MartinZanichelli]

@@AhrefsCom Ok, thank you

[@controldeinternet8262]

Thanks very much, your approach is just so clear and focused ! When I want to see the potential of a word or concept, apart from googling it I also consult the google ads tools. How does the AHREF tool for words potential compare to the tool from google? What would be the suggestions when using both tools?

[@AhrefsCom]

I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "potential"? - SQ

[@controldeinternet8262]

@@AhrefsCom I mean the search volume of a word or a concept. I consider my own knowledge of the words that the clients naturally use to refer to those needs, service. I google those to see how they appear as search results, how the competition uses them and i also consult the Keyword planner on Google ADS, to get an idea of their search volume. My question is how different is your tool to search words and concept to that of the keyword planner in google and how I can benefit from both. THKS !
