[@adrianv2590]

thanks linus, got a presentation on SEO tomorrow lmao - will use most of the stuff you said

[@deamon6681]

+DevPre Depending on who he is talking to, it might be enough. If he is a webmaster talking to his peers, well he's not gonna get far. But if he is a student presenting his assignment, the video might just contain all that he needs.

[@timothyspatz4458]

stream this video to a projector and call it a day.

[@karim1485]

Did you include the squarespace ad? :)

[@adrianv2590]

Roni Eskola thanks man helped a lot!

[@adrianv2590]

Ka Rim sure whatelese ;)

[@mansour68]

2:47 Alt-text isn't what appears when you hover over an image. *W3SCHOOLS: The alt attribute provides an alternate text for an image. If a browser cannot find an image, it will display the value of the alt attribute: -

[@thomasturner3976]

Totally Agree :) It can help SEO too...

[@yosef941]

DevPre w3schools should teach SEO Instead of web development also there are still big companies what use ASP.NET

[@xsais]

You should always try to describe what is in your image (using alt attribute) or have the aria-hidden attribute set to true.

[@yosef941]

Azeros I never said it's a bad frame work I use it myself but DevPre said why does w3schools still use ASP.NET so I responded to him says that big companies still use ASP.NET

[@_azer0s]

Ah I see...well of course big companies use it...it is enterprise software...

[@swapnilkrishnaupadhyay3385]

Sharp and to the point explanation Linus. Good job bro.

[@SeanSmithly]

As an SEO consultant and fan of your channel I was so hoping I wouldn't have a cringe experience but I was really impressed by how well you explained it. Great job as always!

[@DhirenKumar1312]

‪Have An Exam Day After For Internet Technologies. Was Going Through The Topic SEO. Great Help. ‬ Thank You Linus. 🙏🏻

[@johnrickard8512]

You actually managed to lead into your ad without any hiccups this time! nice!

[@OneGeekStudios]

I'm a creative strategist/content manager at a software company and have been in the tech/gaming industries for a while now. Good SEO is a great way to make sure you get noticed in search engines, however, everything comes down to quality of your product. I'm privileged to know some of the trade secrets that Linus references in this video, but at the end of the day, if you want to get noticed, you need a quality product. Whether that is a physical product, or your personality on camera as a youtuber. Figuring out and having something you can offer is always first and foremost. SEO is only one piece of a larger strategy.

[@craigmalcom6294]

C.E. Kirk hey have you learnt seo before

[@OneGeekStudios]

Yep! Part of my college studies and professional career up to this point so far

[@xsais]

Not to mention UI and UX implementation

[@craigmalcom6294]

C.E. Kirk how long did it take you to learn it

[@OneGeekStudios]

I learned the do's and don'ts fairly quickly. It will be different for everyone.

[@Practiceofthepractice]

This is really helpful, thanks for sharing!

[@ABaumstumpf]

There are still thousands fo videos uploaded where they try to insert as many buzzwords into the description as possible. and also: seo, search, engine, optimization, google, algorithm, pagerank, results, metadata, url, descriptive, webpage, titles, headers, directory, website, organization, site, black hat seo, white hat seo, spamdexing, spamdex, linkback, invisible text, tags, clickbait, visibility Familiar with those tags? :P Well - they are not just some random tags but actually correct and helpful.

[@F7GOS]

nice video, explains it well 👍seo optimisation certainly helped me!

[@anika1677]

Love this content!! Just subbed

[@wiseweb463]

Great video, you bring up some good points

[@SmartLifeEnthusiast]

2:47 - Alt-text is the text what appears when an image isn't loaded and is read by a screen reader TITLE-text is the text what appears when you hover over an image

[@mmmcake44]

Lol second video where I can still see the remenants of that "bulk thermal paste" and the stains that it left on your hands.

[@Tylermorgan803]

Thank you so much for this video much needed for the websites I make with code!

[@zayansalil]

Misconception Mashers - Charging Explained! (Over charging, charge cycles, Battery discharge...) This would be a cool video to see! Thanks

[@josepontes3110]

Linus you are the best On Tech ! Keep the great work !

[@simarbhalla2134]

Excellent explanation!

[@paulwilliams8067]

I just love doing SEO! I think that it's a good strategy to use for any business! I think this video is worth to watch if anybody wants to understand SEO. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@seoburtonontrent5543]

Wow, never knew Techquicke made videos on SEO. Well, I shouldn't be surprised since they need SEO to make their business work. I loved the video :).

[@happykoalaseo7791]

good solid simple guide thanks

[@SmartLifeEnthusiast]

3:33 - Google is actually picking on sites that hide text in a form that's unreadable for the user. They are now also visually checking your site as well and punish you for having hard to read text, such as test outside of the view pane or text in the same color as the background. This is sold as increasing the rating of sites that are viewer and mobile friendly

[@PilchPlays]

This kind of competition has been around for ages. Ever wonder why so many companies names start with a bunch of AAs? Back in the day everyone got a Telephone book with all local and regional businesses listed. So companies started adding AA AAA , and so on, in front of their names to be first on the listing for their type of business. Cause people where more likely to call the first plumber in the phone book if they had a broken pipe. And it saved the companies from paying for a large add in the phone book to get recognized.

[@ComplexGuy]

How you edit your vdeos? Which software you use ? And thank you for great information !

[@AllHindiMeHelp]

Nice video

[@Eskimoz]

Super merci pour ce contenu à consommer sans modération.

[@NickGrybestcompany]

Awesome info about SEO.

[@dayvie9517]

Alt-Text, means simply alternative text and is a HTML-attribute which describes what your browser shows if an image cannot be displayed. It is also an alternative for blind people which use screen reader. In this case the screen reader simply tells the user what the tag says. There are also Search Engines for websites like amazon which want their products to be searchable. SEO would in this case just meaning to boost someones product. Its a really loaded term which cannot be explained in 6 minutes.

[@handel40]

Nice informative Video!

[@localseo5690]

Awesome video Tut from Linux. Thanks

[@ItsCoachBen]

Nice overview

[@dralialtaf]

can we cool cpu with normal method in past and complimented by keeping cpu infront of AC INSTEAD OF WATER COOLED SYSTEM

[@scottwatschke4192]

Very informative.

[@Nshelton5683]

Hey Look!! A video that pertains to my job! lol! I'm the SEO Manager for my company.

[@MrNoAvatar]

Hey (Linus or whoever from LMG reads this), I have a suggestion for a TQ video. Talk about LLC (Load Line Calibration) and how it works, is it useful/helpful or not, and all that. Thanks :)

[@huckemer]

How do digital clocks work? How do you tell a computer or an alarm clock how long a second or even a millisecond is when time, like everything, is relative?

[@alea9-92]

i dont use keywords as its been deprecated over google and bing, description and body paragraph and h2 format that counts

[@MrGutaro]

What about a video on what a CompTIA A+ certification is?

[@Ink2Screen]

Not a bad primer, but like what someone said, this is fairly old stuff. Something you might have wanted to mention is Google's use of semantic search - it's no longer about keyword stuffing but also about how related keywords and ideas combine to push your site up the ranks.

[@basvanderwerff2725]

Got an add about SEO before this video ^^

[@xOmGiTzAzOmBiEx]

Love ya linus

[@benedanika]

when the ad is actually relevant to the video

[@frillneckedlizard8529]

How about those sites which when you for example search for "anything", then you get a site that has a search engine in h the website witch says, "no results for anything"

[@maders0405]

I recommended this a few months ago... So Linus does listen to his audience

[@slimshadythe111]

does it matter if i tune out of the video before the ad spot?

[@tomr516]

Linus as fast as possible

[@bluekjar]

Google at least, doesn't use 'PageRank' as much these days. Things like social links and other media make a larger impact on relevance. Great video, though; thanks for sharing!

[@noahify9349]

BTW, backlinking is one of those black hat seo strategies. It doesn't work anymore and Google will start to lower your pages rank if it finds a lot of back linking

[@deathlessgamer]

You should do a Video on RSS Feeds.

[@patrickknowling1796]

Get ranked fast here: HootLinks.xyz

[@maxii6254]

Coincidentally, I got an ad from Alex Becker about SEO so yea...

[@Meminators]

So covfefe of you Linus!!

[@jimmysale417]

thanks!!

[@MATT-rw4zt]

linus, a simpler way to put it is this: who do you think would be better with the internet? a celebrity? or a university grad with a 4 year computer science degree? thought so

[@localseo5690]

SEO is needed to rank well in the search engine. But i hope guest posting, blogger outreach, natural link building will rule on 2018.

[@sebastianpapanicolau7917]

explain teraflops pleeeease

[@h1tw4n]

excelent

[@delcambrem]

Love!

[@abdulghanikhan4413]

which watch linus is wearing in this video

[@ThatGuy001]

okay, i got an ad for seo before i watch your video about seo

[@GerardoBuenrostro]

What about Google Knowledge Graph and Schema.org? Those are also kinda SEO.

[@FeedbackWrench]

What the heck does your company do besides KZbin? I love your content and I’ve been too lazy to go to your website

[@marashah.ibrahim]

Linus on fire today...

[@reddiamond6148]

even top 5 centre notice u!!

[@2toasty]

ideas for future episodes: Python, Java, C++, Ruby + (Ruby on Rails), Django, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, Angular, Node.JS, Wordpress, Git

[@florisr9]

Kumail This is not ProgrammingQuicky

[@avi_mukesh]

Yeah, let's name as many prgramming languages as we can... no.

[@2toasty]

better video ideas than "Why do electronics get hot" lmao

[@2toasty]

Tech A.M most of them aren't even programming languages

[@lumlins2104]

Kumail Yes they are lol

[@outofcontrol2441]

HOW HE CAN BE SO AWESOME

[@Mihnea729]

Interesting !

[@Windsorsillest]

I swear I dont even need Google anymore Linus has a tech tips on everything now lol

[@vatablous]

What about when you search a direct channel name on youtube but it doesn't come up in the first 5 pages?

[@myempirepro]

If you want Google, KZbin and other search engines to send you free traffic that turns to quality leads and endless customer sign ups, you need to create content that answers searchers questions and give them information that solve theirs problems in the form of text/article or multimedia such as audio or video.

[@leocelente]

Do you even Softsonic bro?

[@urdaddywingnut7820]

Hey guys, how about a video on motherboard designations? As in the 3, 7, & 9oo series, and also- the 2, 5,7, & 9o in those numbers also? How do we as consumers use these numbers to more quickly decide on which is going to be best for our next builds?? I'm sure there are many MANY people out there that already know all this- but, I for one am not one of those :-( . So how bout it guys? Help a subscriber out??

[@urdaddywingnut7820]

Like my last build for my son- It is a Gigabyte 970A-D3P board.. . Would knowing what all that lettering & numbering meant have made it quicker for me to decide for- or against- this board?

[@samialhilaly7404]

Awesomely smart

[@Vallad_]

I was able to get a better SEO with the use of influencer marketing via phlanx. Raising the presence (therefore raising traffic) of my business became very easy due to the influencers. How it works is very straightforward, and the returns can be very huge once you get things going for it.

[@mar2ck_old]

So the "SEO Juice" is real...

[@hhurtez]

wow this time the click bait pic got me... i was seriously confused about the videos content. After seeing the pic i completely overlooked the title. And the sad thing is, SEO would have been so much more attractive to me than AMD vs NVIDIA.

[@DARKISSAC]

umm @techquickie, why is linus's mouth have a yellow hue and his hands have this weird hue as well?

[@cupofmozzarella]

If you build PBNs the right way you can definitely hold a ranking until time runs out and Google will not be able to de-rank it.

[@EonityLuna]

0:10 lol Singapore's Speakers' Corner. And there really are people who speak out on social and political issues on a sometimes-literal soapbox there. Among other things (we have an annual gay pride event held there every year).

[@shahidilhan3139]

sometimes I like my own comment to get things started

[@raindrizzle14]

Anyone saw the seo ad before the video start?

[@CorruptedPixl]

Just as i finished getting my certificate from the Digital Garage (google thing all about advertising) I see this video :D

[@j1jh002]

Valuable content! Thank you so much!

[@monfrancaisaccount69monfra8]

you are the best

[@Centbair]

How uses BING?

[@Mr_Creasy_]

If anyone wants to give me constructive criticism on how my KZbin channel may or may not be using SEO effectively I'd appreciate it!

[@PlayerZeroNext]

Cuda Cores as fast as possible please!

[@poldelepel]

What I will remember from this video is that linus footwear is a publicity stunt. 1:59

[@PtrkHrnk]

🤔 Did you use *old Bing logo* for a reason?

[@ciaranfarrell5008]

same

[@nickhddcfcv890]

i got an seo ad before this vid... not sure if it was the same seo though

[@amitaalok5438]

Probably the only big channel that acknowledges the existence of Duckduckgo

[@oceanmariner]

How about tips to make our search reveal what we want, not just links to companies that paid to be near the top.

[@bhagi2742b]

seo is a 20 mark question in my e commerce paper

[@factsverse9957]

I got an SEO ad before I know what is SEO.

[@michaelpearson9]

4k baby

[@Terracraft321]

nice

[@thany3]

Alt text is NOT what appears when you hover over an image with your mouse. Alt-text is what a screen reader sees instead of the image, and what a graphical browser sees before said image has loaded. The little tooltips when you hover an image is the *title attribute*, not the alt attribute.

[@Eskimoz]

Efficace !

[@reddiamond6148]
