[@pabloi2735]

@HMPHOTOLONDON Could you tell me whic is yours?

[@pabloi2735]

Thank you Dan

[@chris-palmer]

Good point out Dan

[@VirginiaStockwell]

I always appreciate a summary. The authors should all do this. Oh wait, I better go back and do it to mine. It's super helpful for fast skimming!

[@chris-palmer]

@@VirginiaStockwell I agree.

[@mgasparywriter]

I followed your advice Brian and it boosts my site performance (based on GTmetrix) from C to B and now I got an A score. After watching this video, I learned that increasing traffic or ranking top on Google isn't about quantity of posts but the quality. My A score is a proof your checklist works. Thank you so much! :D

[@BrianDean]

Nice!

[@mgasparywriter]

How long does it need to see ROI with your checklist? Is it around 6 months to 1 year?

[@AdamMellor1]

I love the fact that all your videos have the same high quality.

[@ericaworkman909]

Yeah that's one thing I can say that's true but you can get the help of an expert consultant like john_bentley16 on Instagram to rank you higher and boost your YT channel

[@aquahexlive]

Okay. So I honestly thought none of this would work, but surprisingly I did everything you listed in your video and it actually worked. I'm impressed! You're officially amazing!

[@BrianDean]

It's official!

[@michaeld8597]

so are you on the first page of google search results in many search catergories now ?

[@dadomultimediaproductions9084]

[@kunjalchawhan6658]

These small improvements can have remarkable impacts in SERP. The other day, I updated content on "The Complete Social Media Marketing Guide [2019]" with additional keywords & requested re indexing from Google Search Console. Result, from 48th position, it shot up to 8th position for search "social media marketing guide"

[@iamcollinsalem3761]

Don't Worry Brother, I Am A Method Actor & Screenwriter. I performed in many projects and watched years and hours of movie and I Am about to watch a movie now with my son. I Am saying this to let You know don't worry, You were Awesomely Clear and had a powerful verbal bullet-point presentation. If I would Rank Your Presentation, you would Rank In The Top 5. So Relax and FEEL Good, you Rocked The Video. Even that little talking at the end of your video was a cool unintended - unique - refreshing touch the drinking water was a subconscious cool down activity that you were not aware of but was very powerful. In Plain language, You Kicked Ass Big Time My Cool-Ass Brother!!!! FEEEEEEL GOOOOD BRO, YOU ROCKED THAT VIDEO!!!!

[@johanwallman7890]

I like that you changed this to "2019", I remember doing that early this year for each of my 2018 mentions earlier this year..

[@cliftonopala1140]

Thanks Brian. Good clear examples. I will check zombie pages, loading speed, dwell time and technical issues that are holding back the performance of my site. Thank you.

[@ministeriodamotivacao]

[@simmey2011]

Brian your a legend!Learning so much about SEO from your videos, seeing results already. Thank you very much!

[@BrianDean]

Awesome Simon!

[@silverbaal]

Thanks for this video. I'm currently working with a food sustainability brand. We're trying to increase our Google rankings, but as we just launched our site about 2-3 weeks ago, we haven't even been listed yet. I'll definitely be using this checklist to try to boost our rankings asap.

[@MrSparklerbomb]

hey brian do you instruct the whole google add Business or have a spot on youtube that i can learn the whole process. from start to Finish.

[@stressfreecustomhomes4893]

I had no idea about 3/4 of the items on your checklist. Thank you. Gave me tons of action steps.

[@BrianDean]

Nice!

[@markarciaga423]

Checklist noted, great video Brian! Shared it on twitter, Thumbs up!

[@BrianDean]

Thanks for sharing, Mark. You rock!

[@statura3887]

An excellent and useful video about increasing Google rankings is more relevant than ever.

[@jorgemaia6176]

Amazing video buddy. Many thanks. Would also be cool to list them all out at the end. just a suggestion...sort of a recap

[@ElaineLeem]

Thanks for sharing. We had deleted some old zombie pages. I will try the tools you have recommended.

[@BrianDean]

Sounds good, Elaine

[@mickeykaercher3138]

Thanx Brain as a newbie learning on my own this vid has helped, I now know what to research to learn how to follow your 7 steps.

[@LotusArise]

Thanks, Brian Dean Sir, I have tried your technique called "zombie page". I have deleted some thin content page and post, after one day my traffic increase from 75%. Thank you.

[@WheretheJones]

Gonna work on that dwell time....and actually every one of the seven. On the mailing list and a sub. Thanks for providing such actionable info.

[@BrianDean]

Nice! Dwell time is KEY

[@marekczeladzki7774]

Great tips! Thank you. I have started with compressing images and getting the SMUSH plugin. Next I will look at my zombie pages and posts. I have so much content yet poor google ranking

[@dsk1769]

Congratulations, your surname speaks for itself. You are one of the Dean of SEO Specialists. There is an abundance of curation and regurgitation going on today which are useless in my opinion and do not qualify as fresh and unique content. To cut down on future zombie pages I would appreciate it if you could publish a video on how to prepare and do research for articles to consists of fresh and unique content and less curation and regurgitation. Also, I would like to see the conclusion of the article in the beginning just like an executive summary. To go through 1000 to 5000 words to get a conclusion is almost insanity.

[@AlmostHomeRealEstateServices]

Great Content Brian! Straight forward actionable items, love it!

[@tomraef]

Great checklist. I'm going to work on SEO technical issues first, then dwell time, then zombie pages. Thank you for providing a plan of action.

[@milkcoffee-h8g]

I think I'm going to try this on my website, thank you Brian

[@michellecollins2712]

I tried on my website still didn’t work, well I went with reviews about Techcyber and using their support I had my SEO improved giving my website a reputable ranking...

[@imrepetrohai]

question: let's say you don't have Google Analytics added on a site - how would Google know about the dwell time? how is it tracked?

[@stefanijohnsen3429]

Wow, thank you for this video. I love having actionable items to help improve my blog. I will be starting with my technical SEO, 1.) removing duplicate pages and 2.) Improving my ALT text on images. While I'll be working through the technical SEO, I will also be creating new content that will be updated like you mentioned and start using the skyscraper technique.

[@michellecollins2712]

Why stress?? When After I spoke with techcyber100 via gmail regarding improvement of my SEO, I now rank top spot on google rating and search which boasts my sales... easiest way to improve your SEO I’d advise

[@tump26]

Optimize dwell time and will use tools to assess our current search issues that may also be causing page load issues. Thanks for great ideas.

[@BrianDean]

Sounds good, Brian. Can't go wrong with that.

[@monstahmarketing1366]

Hello sir, how are you going to rank on the first page of google without a good domain authority and quite a number of backlinks?

[@michellecollins2712]

Why stress?? When After I spoke with techcyber100 via gmail regarding improvement of my SEO, I now rank top spot on google rating and search which boasts my sales... easiest way to improve your SEO I’d advise... you could still WhatsApp [phone]

[@TopWritings]

Brian, what a great video. It has all the information I needed to grow my website. Thank you for sharing

[@clearviewworld1164]

Awesome video man I learned alot about both on and off page SEO importance

[@pjmatsha1614]

Wow what an amazing video...Thanks for the SEO tips man

[@PakiDramahub]

Wow, you nailed it so here you go i have pushed that subscribe button :) Also, i am a freelancer so i'll definitely look forward to your videos and yes i will use the Basic and Advanced on Page SEO technique.... :) You are doing a good job i must say.

[@BrianDean]

Thanks! Glad you have you as a subscriber

[@honestreviews9235]

awesome man. I never thought that zombie pages can affect our site's ranking

[@BrianDean]

They can. Of course, the other steps in the checklist are also important. But taking care of Zombie Pages is a good start.

[@stevenp.3018]

These videos are gold!

[@workfromhome598]

Awesome video! Thank you for such informative content. Subscribed!

[@adarshp8478]

Seo that works has all these lessons in great detail, but this video was a great revision ♥

[@阚梓邺]

Like before watch. Thanks, Brian. you are the best all the time.

[@BrianDean]

🙂

[@TimedSquare]

Brian, what can we expect form the August 1st, 2018 Google Search Update?

[@edgarsantos7782]

At 11:06 between Jun 9 and Jun 13 kinda went back to bad.. so why was that? Does this only improves in the beginning?

[@11nica5]

For a brand new site, what tip would you suggest is the most important?

[@shriharsha3448]

Hey @Brian Dean, as usual great content. You changed this to 2020 Is it the same checklist that needs to be followed?

[@anupambhagat3367]

Amazing video. Great tips. A big thanks you for sharing this.

[@jmtexx]

I ain even into SEO for my webpage, but somehow you compelled me here, you're awesome bro

[@SonixSama]

Why "Free Sample Job Description: The interactive List" at 10:44 the skyscraper content that you created will rank with "100+ job Boards for job Seekers and Recruiters - Proven Blog" at 11:11, is'nt that the content that already existed and you improved it later? I'm confused here but hey! the video was very resourceful thanks.

[@cynthianielson2634]

Thank you for these videos ! They have transformed my business !

[@BrianDean]

You're welcome, Cynthia :)

[@Skylightatdusk]

What determines what are the 'most important pages'? For instance, is it a matter of the page's number of visits?

[@sureshchelwani5092]

I have been following your blog and KZbin channel. With that info I am in process of launching a site with 25 articles. I have few doubts which I hope you can clear them 1) in product review can I add FAQ related to that product after carefully reading on Amazon and translating in my words? 2) for bes or top 5 article, which is best option A) have brief info about each product and link each to detailed review page Or B) have detailed info about each product and directly link it to Amazon product

[@smilefordavid]

will do page load audit and change banners on each page to make them more engaging.-TY!

[@johnscott9845]

For adwords and seo are you trying to target low cost per click and high serach volume?

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

Once I take down my wix site/ make it not LIVE , will Google stop indexing it right away?? I am moving my articles over to Wordpress from WIX and I don’t want my SEO on those articles to get too messed up. I know Google will have to find them and index them on the new URL but I don’t want them to find the articles on two sites at the same time. Thanks.

[@michellecollins2712]

Maria G that’s really easy I’d say, cause immediately I spoke with techcyber regarding improvement on my SEO this specialist had my website up and running in no time, I now rank first page on google and my sales been really improved.. easiest way to improve your SEO I’d say We spoke on [phone]..

[@LouSEO]

Love the checklist, Brian! I have plenty of "zombie pages" to either upgrade/update or delete, including category pages from my blogs that still get indexed despite having configured the Yoast plugin to noindex (that's frustrating). I'm already working on rewriting the intro of many blog posts, but your insight just made it look a lot easier. :D Hahah Thank you!

[@BrianDean]

You're welcome, Luana. Sounds like you're on the right track

[@陈裕鹏-r9m]

How does tag drag down the traffic? Without the tags, wouldn't it be a little bit difficult to sort out the content to the right category?

[@motogand5402]

Brian we work together on a project once. I really feel that you are far far better than Neil Patel. Your tech knowledge and the way you taught is amazing. I always love watching your video as your textual content.

[@jhhjfkfjdjdj]

Another Great Video Brian. But there's a few things I want to share with you. Like the LSI keywords.

[@BrianDean]

Go ahead...

[@LuxxeProducts]

I have same website error " No redirect or canonical to HTTPS homepage from HTTP version " how to fix it? I'm using shopify. Thanks!

[@marlonluis2009]

Awsome! After watching tons of videos about seo this is by far the best! Thanks!

[@avegtastefromatoz]

Thank you so much for this helpful video! As a first step for my blog I'm definitely deleting a huge bunch of zombie pages and start fresh!

[@dannytetreault]

You don't impress me that you are reading from a teleprompter or a script, yet you seem so natural. Do you practice public speaking? How did you become so friendly and natural in your content delivery? I would love to start a channel my self but as an introvert, speaking and explaining things don't come naturally. Any tips? DMT

[@rickkirkhamswaystomakemone2494]

Do false targets in links increase dwell time or must the page have focus in order to be counted as dwell time by Google?

[@WithShibam]

Hello Brian Sir, I want to know that what should we do with our old content which needs to be deleted. As I work on a deal & offer website, we post a lot of deals and news everyday. How should we delete our tons of old useless contents without getting any bad effect on our site's SEO?

[@bridg1462]

Deleting zombie pages! Great idea. Loved the video; very helpful.

[@emanuelemura7241]

Brian, thanks for taking your time to teach us, thanks for sharing your experience, thanks for being clear, factual and concise, thanks for providing all of this for free, it is so good I do not believe it. You deserve another 1000 thanks! I have just started learning SEO, I clearly suck at it, but you make me hope I can learn :)

[@BrianDean]

You can do it!

[@YatesHarrison]

I love your videos! You mentioned Zombie pages...what is a good strategy to use. I have built out several pages that are geo-targeted but now I'm thinking maybe I should combine them into one page instead to beef up the content on a given page. What is the best strategy to do that OR do I need to just start over with a new page? Can I just combine all the content and then make a redirect for the pages that I combined?

[@eeeeeeehsan]

Oh my God! This was the best video I've ever seen on KZbin! Thanks, Brian. Thanks so much.

[@AnnaAnna-xe2lx]

Thank you Brain I need this information, ally device are same problem ,

[@KishanPatel-ov5rd]

Thanks @Braian for sharing such great tips

[@LuisVargas-mp4et]

Your videos are pure Gold! Thank you

[@enessolhan]

What about news website? I have tech website and I think that I cannot deleted old posts. What do you think about it?

[@Valuxxo]

I'm a bit confused, why delete old posts or product description when we could optimize them?

[@julianzenker6679]

Wow so much valuable information, thanks a lot!

[@barneynash8346]

Please note all of these increases are not increases they are total! But a great SEO video none the less! Thanks

[@Kaleshwarivivah]

Thanks for your supportive video

[@noramaria4832]

Thanks a lot, Brian. I'm a beginner, I just started learning digital marketing tactics. I'm planning to build a website to implement what I'm learning. Is a single blog post enough for that, or should I write frequently for practising SEO and all ??

[@FunWithPuzzles]

Thanks for this information. Quite helpful.

[@TheNomadBrad]

Thanks Brian! Awesome actionable tips

[@TheNomadBrad]

I'm putting them into action today :)

[@darkmift]

very good vid...I know nothing about SEO and this gave me a lot of references to delve into

[@parashawale2573]

Thanks Brian. I am gonna be looking to delete some of the zombie pages. Cheers!!

[@BrianDean]

Nice!

[@nirajrekhawar3922]

Hello dean just little bit confused . which will be better to rank any new keyword using individual page or using individual blog.

[@abbaskeshvari9376]

Thanks alot Brian. Great video! ♥

[@sepsgraphics]

Do we delete pages or redirect the pages?? We are building a new Wordpress and woocommerce site and slowly getting rid of the old site, whats best to do?

[@vishnumoorthy8114]

Great video Brian :) I expect more videos like this from you :)

[@jonathanokocha4614]

Nice Brian. I will try removing zombie pages. I had a site I ignored for a long time. Suddenly when I checked it , already had over 500 index pages. (my post on this website is not even up to 35) What!. I say, what.. It turns out that after some new update wordpress now create sepearate page for each image uploaded. Fixing this to an extent plus some tag pages already cleaned up the serp for me. 3-4 weeks later, my average serp position in GWT moved from 58 - 21. I still need to do further clean up.

[@BrianDean]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience

[@rzv8760]

Can we switch to HTTP/2 ? Is good for SEO ranking?

[@rahullgrao]

sir ma site is on 2nd page on google but not claiming what to do (zero backlinks and that post requires weekly updates like movies changing weekly)

[@StephenMac33]

When deleting or removing pages from your website what is the best action to take for the new 404 pages that will be generated when deleting existing pages? Should you redirect or let them be flagged as 404?
