How much does EEAT really matter for content in non-YMYL niches?

I keep seeing discussions about EEAT and how crucial it is for YMYL sites. But for more casual niches like entertainment or lifestyle blogs, does Google really penalize you for lacking author bios or clear expertise? I have sites with solid content and backlinks that rank well without any fancy EEAT signals. Curious if others have seen drops after focusing too much on EEAT for non-YMYL content, or if links and content relevance still trump everything else for Google. submitted by /u/mrcanada66 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/RfW9cHe

Free Screaming Frog alternative

Someone sent me this Screaming Frog alternative. It’s 100% free forever and downloadable. We tested it and it seems safe. While that sounds good, here’s the weak part: TBH, it’s a bit rough. The algorithm could use some improvements. It’s vibe-coded, at least in part, and it still needs a lot of refinement. That said, the code is open and available on GitHub, so it might be something people want to get involved with. Anyway, if the mods allow it, you can download and test it at seodisias .com . It works on any platform and device. submitted by /u/AbleInvestment2866 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/W24vZl7

What has caused content served via JS to not be indexed by Google?

This is a question about Search Engine Optimization in the other direction - How can I make some content non-indexable without otherwise impacting the site? I'm toying with a project to obfuscate content from AI on sites served via CDN. My current plan is to have javascript de-obfuscate the content on the client side, but implement in such a way that indexers won't be able to render the content. This does assume that AI content indexing and normal search engine are essentially equivalent, which I think is at least a good place to start. I'm pretty confident that I can multiply XOR encrypt the contents, using one of the network security obfuscation techniques, but that is running a race with the indexer for how much CPU it's willing to dedicate to the page render. So the question I have for ya'll is - Have you found any JS that renders content that failed to be indexed? If so, how did the JS work? submitted by /u/Hackalope [link] [comments] from Search...

Is there any way to get accurate keyword search volume using ChatGPT or other LLMs?

This might be a stupid question, but I often brainstorm new website ideas with ChatGPT or Claude, and they frequently suggest keywords claiming they have high search volume, but when I check, that’s not the case at all. submitted by /u/Initial_Interest1469 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/2Xlx7mf

6 months to rank on map pack or money back - BS or not?

I just saw an ad for a service that guarantees local contractors to show up in the map pack within 6 months, or they don't pay. I'm new, what's the gimmick here? What do they know that I don't know? In the video they even say "If an SEO company is offering you ranking in 30 days, its probably for your brand or low ranking keywords" So he addresses that, but is that a misdirection? How can they guarantee it? submitted by /u/JungGPT [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/Gtn8q3C
