I spent a couple of years working with two Japanese franchise dealers with an in house marketing team and partnering with other marketing companies and this, what you’re teaching is so fundamental, not simplistic but foundational, strongly! This has to be the most important video not just for photographers but for any kind of business owner. Truly!

BEST video on SEO. Not only do you explain everything very well and clear, you also give examples so that visual learners like me can actually learn!

Hey there. LOVE THIS. Question for you...Is it necessary to delete old blog posts? Should you? How do you know? Also, I’d love if you made a video about how to blog properly!

@SignatureEdits

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Boomer! I never delete them UNLESS they contain work I actively want to hide... So for example if my style has changed a lot, I would make sure those blog posts aren't easily accessible to visitors (aka hide them from the menu) but I actually wouldn't delete them - I keep them around for the SEO juice and backlinks they might have. Hope that makes sense.

Agree with almost everything you said. For most though a CDN could actually increase load time, especially the free one used by Siteground. Most photographers will be targeting a local demographic so simply use a host with servers in your location and then you don't need a CDN.

@SignatureEdits

4 жыл бұрын

Hmm interesting perspective Gary... Maybe you're on to something. Have you experimented with both? I've personally found the free CDN has increased my site performance every time, BUT I've honestly never dug that deep into it so maybe I'm missing something. The other advantage with a CDN is from a resource perspective I think you can download files from multiple servers at the same time, which would increase speed regardless of location. But I'm not a technical guy so certainly people should look into it for themselves :)

@GaryBox

4 жыл бұрын

@@SignatureEdits I'd read so many people rave about CDN so tried the Siteground free option. It caused couple of issues so discarded it. If I ever left Siteground I'd probably host with WPX hosting and I would use their CDN. There are some advantages to a CDN but people need to understand what they are and if they are important to them. If you have visitors from all over the world or have high traffic then I'd use one. Most photographers though have low traffic and target a local demographic. I'd argue 90% of photographers don't need a CDN.

Nice clip, I wonder how much does this matter nowadays and if Google is still worth it.

Question about the age domain sites. If I choose that name for my site does that need to be my business name or something close to it? I guess I just don't understand how that will help people find me particularly if it's not my name or my product and that site name? Would you mind explaining this to me a little bit? Thank you so much for this video it's so helpful! I'm a women's portrait Fine Art photographer just starting my professional journey.

Hi, thanks so much for this video! Quick question, would buying a domain with authority and forwarding it to your existing domain work to boost my SEO?

@SignatureEdits

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it would! However it wouldn't be as effective as if you used that same domain. Still would give you some juice though so if the domain were cheap worth trying. The best way to do it for SEO would be not just to redirect all traffic to the one homepage, but to redirect every page on the website you bought to a corresponding page on your new website. So if the old website had a link to a page titled "best wedding photographers in chicago", you'd want that page to redirect to a page on your site with the same topic.

Great video! Do you also geotag your photos?

@SignatureEdits

Interesting question CJ! A none photography domain would technically achieve the same purpose, but would have a slight disadvantage if google knows it as a carpentry site but then you change it to photography versus one that google already knows as a photo site. That said, I'd say go for it - You're still much better off than with a brand new domain!

Hi Ryan! Great video. I am an SEO idiot and despise marketing and the amount of time it eats up. Even this video has me pulling my hair out with all the things I need to do. I'm very happy to buy the SEO course, but how much easier do you think it will make the process? I'm not balking at buying the course, I'm just honestly wondering how much easier it will be to follow these steps. The steps you laid out are plenty understandable, just ridiculously time consuming (for an SEO idiot like myself.) Will the course make me life easier? Thanks again!

Hey Paul! Great question. Obviously I'm biased, but short answer is yes, I'd say it would make it easier. This video gives a 20k overview of the things you need to focus on to do well with SEO, whereas the course breaks it down step by step and shows you the most efficient ways to get those things done. I spent a lot of time condensing it to give you max results w/ minimum viable time and energy invested on your part. That said, it comes with a guarantee so if you're on the fence I'd say give it a go and you'll know first hand whether it's a fit for you :) Hope this helps!

Hi James! Great question, and rewatching I definitely wish I had been a little more clear on what I meant. I agree - Content definitely needs to be unique and original in most cases. SOMETIMES you can get away with copying something that is not a unique idea of the creator - For instance, you could copy the info from a post with the average winter temperatures of different cities in the US - That is public information... But yes, if you're going to use this method for content, you've got to put your unique spin on it so that it is unrecognizable from the original post (ie "5 ways to sharpen a knife" - You could rewrite "5 creative knife sharpening methods") - Hope this gives a little extra clarity!

im very bad with writing .. do you write your own articles ( Blogs )or do you just copy the text from other websites?

Everyone, please don't buy an existing domain for a quick rank. This is a 100% bad advice, even if it helps you rank quickly, it's impact is negligible in SEO if you're in the business for the long term. If you're doing this, you are abandoning the chance to use your own brand as your domain. Your domain name should help your brand become memorable and standout from competitors. If you use an SEO-driven name, you're gonna be stuck with it and you're 100% going to regret this route.

While you’ve got some totally valid points about building your own brand, its equally possible to buy old domains and redirect to your “brand domain” also for 99% of photographers, brand value is never going to matter as they wont be reselling their “brand” down the road since their brand is effectively them :) Lastly you are kindof conflicting yourself… saying it may help you rank quickly but also “its impact is negligible” so… Just some observations :)
