Opinion: DA Link Sellers are the bottom feeders of SEO and pull the industry down

After the massive rolling changes in the HCU updates, nobody can convince me that the largest single root cause was the market in "DA" link selling.

I shouldn't have to but for a disclaimer: I'm not a Google employee (obviously) - and I am not here to police or pass judgment or soap box or "high moral ground" or to come off as some pure white hat seo or any BS like that. SEO is how you want to do your SEO - I only care about spreading of misinformation or anything that puts an only negative spin on SEO - like that Verge hit piece by the author who is too baked to update her twit

My absolute #1 pet peeve: Doing SEO with earning authority somehow means we are all ok with bad content - thats a thought-limiting cliche that content snobs try to characterize SEO as.

I am content agnostic because I know that Digital marketing is a 1% conversion of a 1% CTR rate of a 1% visibility score of 1% of impressions: If *some* marketers think they are building content that makes everyone happy, you are bullshitting yourself. To get clicks means you a fraction of impressions. To get impressions on a page means you got a fraction of the total search. To get a conversion: is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction. That's honest real SEO IMHO.

Why are these standards not applied to PPC? Why is SEO at risk from AI - when Google is laying off 30k Ads people (and as a 20 year Goolge Ads manager, I dont think I'll miss any of those internal Google Ad "managers" for what it matters)

But SEO as link sales and the spammy emails, spammy posts, spammy LinkedIn requests are the dark side of SEO and we are all being cast in with that lot - like it or not

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
