Google Ranking Factors: Direct Traffic?

Jeremy Beckett2018-10-17T17:02:08+11:00Categories: SEO|Tags: Direct Traffic, Google, Google Analytics, Ranking Factors, Search Rankings, SEO, SEO News|

SEMRush caused a bit of a stir when they released their SEO Ranking Factors Study 2017. The big headline conclusion was that Direct Traffic was the biggest factor in SEO rankings. Unsurprisingly, this caused a bit of a furore and wild shouts of correlation does not equal causation. After stopping to think about it, I started to wonder *how* Google would go about using Direct Traffic as a ranking factor, and this post is where it led me. #SEO #SEONews #RankingFactors #SearchRankings #Google

Google Posts Impact Rankings

Jeremy Beckett2017-11-09T07:07:25+11:00Categories: SEO News|Tags: Google Posts, Local SEO, Search Rankings, SEO, SEO News|

I'm coming round to Google Posts & have been recommending clients try them for a while. I think it's an interesting outcome that using Google Posts currently appears to give you a minor local ranking boost. I wouldn't expect this to last long however. Just one more reason to give them a go, especially if you run specials, or any events.

This Week Google Says They DON’T Use Click Data for Search Rankings

Jeremy Beckett2017-09-30T09:04:32+10:00Categories: SEO News|Tags: Click Data, Google, Search Rankings, SEO, SEO News|

Gah! Okay, so now I'm frustrated. Google this week saying they DON'T use click data for search rankings goes against what another Googler said a week or so ago. Unfortunately, this is a perfect example of the confusion caused by Google's reps saying anything, ever. They get trapped by out-of-context dissection of the minutiae of what they say, and everyone ends up confused.

I love it when a Google update rolls back and people get re-listed. A year after rolling out, the Google Local Possum Update has reversed for a bunch of filtered businesses.

I've been listening to various SEOs and webmasters recently espousing how they do SEO Site Migrations and how they worry because they normally lose rankings and traffic for a while. I don't understand that. I've done a large number of site migrations and I have never lost traffic or rankings - not once. In fact, the usual state of affairs is that I have gained traffic and rankings. This tutorial covers how I do it, with an Excel checklist into the bargain. #SEO #SEOTutorials #SiteMigrations #Redirects #HTTPS
