Having a site that’s probably as bad as this, that I recently hired TSI to help with gives me hope! I appreciate you guys!!

[@Davipo]

Nice. I'll pay wapo now to have my page popup. It explains why I can't find simple plug ins for the tools I need. Once, actually a few days ago, I gave someone a bad review, because the asset I bought was hard to convert. The creator messaged me and told me I'm unable to use Google... Bro, I grew up with computers, I'm a software developer,...... I felt insulted to the bone and I was already typing my response in anger, but luckily,.. I learned to take a deep breath, drink a coffee and read once more what I wrote and what the creator said. And he provided all I need. I was still mad, so I tried searching with Google and the sites and tools he provided: Nowhere to be found in google's results. I deleted my message. Apologized and changed the review to positive... (Edit: in fact I just got mad again because I couldn't find what I was looking for, that's why I'm even here, lol)

Yep running digital PR campaigns is the way to go if you really want to increase EEAT signals! This is what we do for our sites and for others as well at our agency. It’s a game changer

[@LesterCurtis]

Clear and understandable, I wish there was more information like this.

[@ComputerHelpHawaii]

Matt I don't know if you read your comments or if a staff member does, but I actually mentioned and quoted you in one of my videos on another profile. I quoted you when I used your favorite search example on "how to shave a cat".

[@geekyayaz]

Thank you ❤ Can't wait for Digital PR video ❤

[@jessalanfields]

Matt just wanted to let you know as an agency owner myself, your content is top notch. We have done SEO but primarily focus on messaging strategy - nevertheless, you make the often-droll work of ranking seem like an exciting endeavor. Would love to work with you sometime. Appreciate your great content.

[@MattDiggity]

Awesome, thank you!

SEO is the most important thing to monitor when migrating a site... most of my new SEO clients reach out to me after their large ad agency tanked their SEO rankings.

[@stevebouboulis7776]

Great info about the HARO strategy

[@FredAllenBurge]

Seems like nothing much has fundamentally changed with seo for at least 10 years then. Have a site that's structured well but then it's purely about quantity of authoritative backlinks as it always has been.

[@wittylens909]

Correct! Only processes have evolved over time but the fundamentals of Organization + Content + Links remains the same.

[@KstoneCreator]

I'm ranking #1 for the main kw in my niche, and it doesn't matter. The SERPS are all ads to well below the fold. What good is SEO now?

[@alexandrmatveev2069]

Hi. Can explain more about HARO. First, we write an article on our website on a chosen topic in a email letter? Then contacting a journalist by email? What is a website with HARO journalists (helpareporter is most popular)?

[@MetaModern87]

Hi Matt. Love your channel man! I was wondering why many SEO influencers don't acknowledge that backlinks are literally the only thing that really matters to rank on Google? Seems to be you can be as much as a topical authority as you want, do all the keyword work you want, but at the end of the day if you're straight up not purchasing backlinks you're gunna have bad time. Am I wrong?

[@ATTIQUE-AHMED]

Awesome video as always ❤

[@MattDiggity]

Thank you so much 😀

[@alexanderfuehren]

Cat shaving content can only be written by doctor evil 🤣🤣🤣 legend!

[@BrandonGreenShow]

Giggity😊

[@Davipo]

2:11 + ........ actually, if you heard about the gov having a military grade Ai that is downloading and analyzing everything... And Google definitely have a nice Ai (that was broken because they added terms to your prompt)... I think they can tell. Plus, they for sure are payed by someone to do what they do, because I can't even find simple info on specific blender 3d topics; something that was easy before. Now I have (and I mean have, like in I'm forced to) use chat gpt or ask in forums. It's ridiculously insane.

[@thenilblue1]

wow, great details

[@nimrasaddique1516]

@MattDiggity sir after how many days we have to update our posts?

[@souravghosh2758]

If the website was hit by Google previously and we do 301 redirects to a new website. Will Google stop counting the previous shits the website did?

[@DramaByeol]

Hey Matt,Which micro niche has low competition and easy to rank-Air purifier or VPN?

[@MattDiggity]

Definitely not VPN

[@Sidehustleforteen]

I don't know every blogging site I have made has this issue where images show wrong titles like when i type site:mywebsitename and go to images section featured image titles are reptitive and wrong. And after some time my content also start to disappear. I really cant figure out what's going on. Before uploading I change filename of image, write image title and add alt text but its the same nothing changes. Please can you tell what might be the issue. Some settings issue or what??

[@picassogaming6871]

Hey Matt, How to get a back link if you are not a journalist. And your website is not based on that.

[@dalehewett4323]

When are you releasing a video on how to get swole

[@akhiltesla8707]

Hey Matt, I applied for adsense. 10 days later, I got a notification 'low quality content'. Also, the impressions crashed to 0 (perhaps they penalized my website, but there is no such notification in the search console). Please help 😢

[@digitalsamurai42]

Loved it

[@mohdameen4918]

Ai content writing more video please

[@Davipo]

So they are basically transforming the results to reflect the current thing and silence all critics. Ok. I'm done with that search engine for good. My fam listens to me, so ... I'll make sure to let them know. Does anybody know good search engines? I mean I know enough myself, but maybe someone has something better. **** is ok. (Be brav*. If you know you know.)
