Hello thanks for your information i have a question is goole ads can improuve the seo of website in feature

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. You cannot improve SEO performance directly with Google Adwords. However, PPC campaigns can influence SEO performance indirectly in many ways. With Google Adwords, your content will get more exposure among users, improving its chances of being shared and linked to. This will ultimately result in valuable backlinks. This thread might also help you: support.google.com/google-ads/thread/198972531/how-does-google-ads-interact-with-your-seo-and-with-your-google-search-ranking Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to open a support ticket here: rankmath.com/support We look forward to helping you.

How important are the rank math on page optimization metrics like adding the focus keyword enough times throughout the text and in headings etc. does google like this still? Or should I be using an entity attribute pair instead of a focus keyword.

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. Rank Math assists you in optimizing your post to receive maximum traffic by giving you strategic recommendations based on your content. If you follow all the recommendations, then your post will be completely optimized from a content perspective, and the probability of your content ranking will be higher as well. Your goal is to please the reader of the article first and the search engines second. We understand the desire to optimize every post 100%, but if it is detrimental to the user experience, you are doing more harm than good. Follow the recommendations, and use them, but don’t let them be the only guideline you use when writing any post. We still want to emphasize that ranking on search engines like Google depends on so much more than just on-page optimization. Rank Math, like any other SEO plugin or software, is - at the end of the day - simply software. Its effectiveness depends on how well you use it. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. rankmath.com/kb/score-100-in-tests/ rankmath.com/kb/does-installing-rank-math-guarantee-rankings/ If you encounter any issues with Rank Math, you can always raise your question here rankmath.com/support/ and our support team would be happy to assist you.

Solid advice on the core update recovery. Remember, diversifying your backlink profile with high-quality, relevant links can also significantly help in bouncing back from algorithm changes. Keep it natural and focus on building relationships for the best results.

will faq from yoast import over to rankmath or do you have to recreate all your faq schemas?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment, If you have moved from Yoast SEO to Rank Math and used the initial setup process, Rank Math will automatically import and convert all of Yoast's FAQ Blocks to Rank Math during the import process itself. However, if your blocks were not imported, then here are two methods to import them: 1. Importing all FAQs from Yoast: You can use the Yoast Block Converter option in Rank Math to import all the FAQ and HowTo Schema Blocks from Yoast in one go. 2. Converting individual FAQ Blocks: If you want to review and change each Yoast Block manually, you can do so by converting individual FAQ Blocks from Yoast to Rank Math. This method requires both Yoast SEO and Rank Math to be installed and activated on your website. It is recommended to use the first method for simplicity, but the second method is available for special cases where manual conversion is preferred. Remember that using two SEO plugins simultaneously is discouraged. rankmath.com/kb/yoast-seo-migration/ rankmath.com/kb/faq-schema-block/ Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

What you said about Google ads is very important because we now started to think about this for commercial keywords to enhance revenue. We can easily beat the organic search results and high domain authority.

Most of my posts completely vanished from SERP within 2 days of update launching, however, all the posts returned back on 10th March, stayed for 3 days and then vanished again. Now when I search from keyword in Google for what I used to rank in top 3, I'm now not even in top 100. But if I change the keyword a bit, like using synonym, the post appears again in top 3. What kind of algorithmic penalty is this? There's no manual action though. Also, all posts appear if I use site:domain, so they've not been de-indexed. Does anyone else relate too?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. It sounds like you might be experiencing the effects of a Google algorithm update, not necessarily a penalty. Google's algorithm updates can cause fluctuations in rankings, especially for a few days after the update rolls out. Try to understand the latest update's focus (e.g., user experience, content quality). Then optimize Your Content by re-evaluating your content for the keywords you want to rank for. Ensure it's high-quality, informative, and addresses user search intent. Lastly, track your rankings over time and see if they stabilize. Use Google Search Console to identify areas for improvement.

What websites have you seen recover from the HCU and March update? Once Google hits your site, it's game over. There is no recovery.

[@RankMath]

Hello, and thank you for your comment. Here are some examples of sites recovered from HCU and core update that we came across on social media: twitter.com/lilyraynyc/status/1770450602897653888 twitter.com/lilyraynyc/status/1773339740000964701 twitter.com/witczyk/status/1778756503870018027 Hope this helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

I recovered from the HCU, and was hit again my the march core update.

[@dans5916]

I don't know a single website owner who has recovered form this core update.

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. It's understandable to feel discouraged if you haven't seen recoveries from the core update. While complete recoveries aren't guaranteed, some websites did see reversals. twitter.com/glenngabe/status/1789992093005328429 If you encounter any issues with Rank Math, you can always raise your question here rankmath.com/support/ and our support team would be happy to assist you.

If you allow Google to place ads on your site they place it in the same places which they don't like such as vignette ads

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. You're right, vignette ads can be disruptive to the user experience, which is something Google itself acknowledges. Here's a breakdown of vignette ads and some control you have over them. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to open a support ticket here: rankmath.com/support

In an AI-driven world, we're increasingly encountering content generated by AI that closely mimics human writing, making it difficult to distinguish between AI-generated and human-written content. Does this signal a future where human-written content becomes less prevalent? Is there any future for human-written content?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. You're right, AI-generated content is getting more sophisticated, blurring the lines between human and machine writing. However, it's unlikely to completely replace human-written content in the foreseeable future. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

After update, websites with a lot of ads and with just 1 word of content took first place.

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. It's unusual for websites with minimal content and heavy ads to rank highly after a Google update. You might have stumbled upon a temporary glitch or a very specific search with unusual results. Google prioritizes user experience, and ad-heavy sites with minimal content typically wouldn't rank well. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

[@jasonb3370]

At this point it just feels like Google hate to see anyone make a living. KZbin plays 5 to 10 ads in one video and it's all good but a normal content creator earning from his blog its spam sad

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. We can understand your frustration. Monetizing content through blogs can be challenging especially when there is a core update running, but there are ways to generate income, such as using affiliate links in your content. They can help you earn from your blog while providing valuable information to your audience.
