[@simongroup2059]

Thank you so much for sharing this awesome SEO video with us! I really appreciate it. I do have a question, though. Could you kindly clarify the distinction between Content splintering and content clustering? Your insights would be greatly valued!

[@sonianetto7399]

Hi Nathan. Absolutely love your content. Please could you help me answer this SEO conundrum I have been having? . I have a Physio and Pilates website. I have create specific pages to rank for local keywords specific to each of those two terms (i.e Pilates {insert location} and Physio {insert location}. The conundrum I am having is that the overall website domain keeps trying to rank for those keywords (around #12). However those dedicated pages I have created specifically to rank for the keywords I want to rank for are not ranking. What should I do in this instance? What keywords should you choose for a homepage (from the list of all the keywords you want to rank for)? Your assistance will be highly appreciate. Thanks from your # 1 NZ fan.

[@Raaandy]

Rankability looks very similar to Surfer SEO. Do you have a preference? I've seen you use both in recent videos I watched. Trying to keep my "stack" of SEO software purchases consolidated as much as possible, with effectiveness for my work/clients as the top priority.

[@nathangotch]

I'm biased because I'm the co-founder of Rankability lol

[@Raaandy]

@@nathangotch Ahhhh yes. It's alllll coming together for me, now. :P

[@herbalfixes]

​@@nathangotchcan you please share the link?

[@EstherCKane]

Sorry for not understanding but is "splintering" the same as creating multiple posts / pages on the same topic? Or is "splintering" about creating a post or page that is more focused on that one keyword phrase?

[@nathangotch]

In short, creating a dedicated page/post for a keyword to build topic support

[@TheThinFrame]

@@nathangotchif you create the supporting page and you dont link it properly, does it matter? Or without internal linking is also fine

[@j_yh]

@@TheThinFrame is there some reason why you don't want to link them? Honest question… Linking seems like such an easy thing. Why would you not do that?

[@nathangotch]

You can do whatever you want, but the decision should be based on your risk tolerance. IMO, using AI content is riskier

[@froufou100]

I don't appreciate you on this occasion linking to a site that publishes no pricing but forces me to have a call to make me buy....rankability....very salesey and off-putting way to operate.

[@j_yh]

Are you talking about the link underneath the word "SPONSOR" in the description? Not sure why this would bother you so much. But here's something to consider... If you're on a site for a service provider and there's no pricing page, it's because they select their clients (clients don't select them). And they're going to determine the price based on the client size. Put another way, if there's no pricing page it probably means they charge more than you want to pay. Anyway, that's my rule of thumb.

[@omarshaaban907]

@j_yh so that’s your rule of thumb, but don’t police the world, frou frou is entitled to his opinion and you yours. Yes it’s under “SPONSOR”, he never disputed this, he just voiced his opinion that he wanted some price transparency and that’s perfectly valid. If you disagree then do so with some class.

[@j_yh]

@@omarshaaban907 OK Omar. Thanks for your perspective. I did not actually disagree. Just wondered why it bothered her. And then I shared my perspective. And that (while I might also find it frustrating some times) there are reasons why some businesses do this. But I definitely did not write it with class. I'll take that feedback away and consider it on my YT comment. Thanks. 👍

[@pmich8913]

“Google mentions x and y 101 times in their guidelines” What google says and does are two very different things and you know that Nathan

[@nathangotch]

I agree. There's a difference between what they recommend and what's actually a ranking factor. But there's validity in their recommendations as far as building quality content.

How I can grow my business and work on Seo without paying anything.

[@markuserikssen]

Is it me, or are these techniques things that worked in the past but not much anymore these days? I feel like these are old tactics but Google has shaken things up so much with the recent core updates that many things don't seem to work anymore. I hope I'm wrong.

[@balakakomodo4477]

It's not just you mate, this is totally my experience too. I didn't get hit in either HCU or March updates, but everything that used to work for me to rank *really* well, no longer does. And not a single SEO guru seems to be talking about that 🤷🏻‍♂

[@manzoorkhan6336]

How to demonstrate experience in a supplement niche? I mean one can’t personally test every supplement.

[@nathangotch]

Only review the supplements that you (or someone else) has tested. That's the point. You can't fake it

[@manzoorkhan6336]

@@nathangotchbut that’s what I am asking how can i test a supplement product if I don’t have any nutritional deficiency? I mean like other physical products are there google specific guidelines for this niche? I am a professional and certified pharmacist.
