VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Welcome back Rankers! How are you going? Guess what, apparently organic social media traffic is dead. That is from the man that set up and runs the ‘Social Media Examiner,’ Mike Stelzner. He’s a really smart bloke. This is a great little podcast over at digitalmarketer.com with Keith Krance, Molly Pittman and Ralph […]

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Welcome back Rankers! How are you? Good? Look, for years we’ve been told that SEO is dead, it’s old, it’s going out the window, you’ve got to get on to social, you’ve got to put all your money in there. “Don’t worry about SEO anymore, it’s gone, finished!” I even have an article […]

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Welcome back Rankers! Are you all having a good week? Back on 7 February there was an update. There was a lot of chatter online, but I didn’t talk about it at the time because there wasn’t a lot of data around. Since then we’ve collected quite an amount of data since we […]

Over the weekend, Google started sending out warning messages to website owners from Google Search Console. Now if you don’t have Google Search Console set up, then you wouldn’t have received one of these messages. So Google is […]

Welcome back Rankers! I thought I’d take a look at Google Trends this week because there are a few elections happening and, as we know from the U.S. Presidential elections from the past twelve years, a good predictor of that is Google Trends. So I thought it would be a good exercise to show you […]

This is a follow up to this post from last year. TRANSCRIPT Happy New Year, Rankers! Welcome back. Are we all set for a big 2017? If you are and you’d like us to cover topics that we haven’t so far, just let us know. Simply leave us a comment on YouTube, the blog, or […]
