First and foremost, blog posts are invaluable for SEO because they provide a platform for fresh and relevant content. Search engines like Google consistently prioritize content that is informative, up-to-date, and user-focused. Blog posts offer a flexible format to deliver this type of content. They allow businesses and website owners to share insights, updates, industry news, and other valuable information with their audience.
Moreover, blog posts are a means of targeting long-tail keywords and specific search queries. By crafting well-researched and informative blog posts around niche topics related to your industry or business, you can increase your chances of ranking higher in search results for these keywords. This targeted approach not only enhances your website's visibility but also attracts more qualified traffic.
Blog posts also foster engagement and interaction. They provide a platform for discussions, comments, and social sharing, which are important engagement signals for search engines. When readers engage with your content by commenting, sharing, or staying on your website longer, it sends positive signals to search engines, indicating that your content is valuable and relevant to your audience.
However, blog posts are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Their effectiveness depends on how they are crafted, optimized, and promoted.
Blog posts remain a powerful and versatile tool in contemporary SEO strategies. When executed effectively, they contribute to improving a website's visibility, attracting a targeted audience, and engaging users.
However, the SEO landscape is dynamic, and it's crucial to adapt to changes in search engine algorithms and user preferences.
Integrating blog posts as part of a broader SEO strategy, which includes technical SEO, on-page SEO, and off-page SEO, is a well-rounded approach to achieving success in today's competitive digital environment.

    Neil's emphasis on the quality and utility of content over sheer quantity is a refreshing change in the SEO world. It's interesting how free tools and assets could potentially outperform traditional blog posts in driving traffic.

    Tools are definitely a competitive advantage hard to build but when you have it it's hard for competitors to replicate. Excellent video!

    Neil you suggest that free tools is a way better investment of time and money to drive traffic and get links to your site. Does this apply to a local business with a new website? How would a local business do this? Let's say your a local deck builder what could free tool(s) could you offer to the public to generate traffic and where would you go to look to get these tools built? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    Free tools also need link building. In some cases, it's harder to do than for blog posts. Also, it isn't as easily applicable in some niches - sports, for example. Yes, you can do calculators, but they're very oversaturated. And people are smart, no one's going to link to them just for the hell of it.

    As a new personal blog, creating blog posts is more important than providing free tools because it costs a lot of money especially for beginners. What do you think Neil ?

    Hey Neil! I love your content, insight, and advice. But your passing comments in this video about the apparent diminishing of relevance for infographics disturbed me. I am primarily a content write, but I also get paid to produce a few infographics each month. So, your take on the future viability of infographics for content marketing SEO has me worried. However, it appears that almost "no one" else online seems to share that opinion. Whaddya think?

    How can you seo a site with no home page . My social media site only has the wp login redirect page. And I still can't figure out how to make this work. When I add url to FB only get the name of the site and WordPress in the thumbnail. Any fix for this

    Hey Neil, this is Charles. Several years ago I asked you the question "Can I use your videos in my blog posts?' Thankfully, you said "Yes" My question is "Can I make a video and blog posts on the same topic and include the video in the blog post?" This ranked the video and blog posts immediately on Google. What do you think?

    You didn't ask me but I have a answer in my mind is yes you can create a blog post or a Video on the Same topic and then embed Neils Video in it it's not a big deal. As for as you don't copy the content

    I’m trying to understand this too. Is it just bc it’s hyperlinked to a referring domain within the site or blog?

    I hear what you're saying, but don't you think blog posts still work for keywords with low KD? Keywords with a KD of 0, Google actually WANTS you to write content on because people are searching for those keywords and Google has nothing to show people.
