    how to start off page SEO..

    1. Immediately 2. & 4. Anchor text isn't as important as it used to be years ago. Now it's more about the relevant content surrounding your link. For example, if your anchor text is "Best Car Parts", but the content is about women's dresses, then it's not good. Any "Click Here" link will do, as...

    Different direct traffic numbers for Matomo and Google Analytics

    GA is tragically flawed and always has been, and there are lots of studies online showing exactly why they are flawed. I don't understand why people even still use it. Your own server-side raw logs will always give you the most accurate results above anything a third party can provide.

    I have been banned by Google AdSense. Google? Why?

    So, you're saying that he can still join Ezoic even after being banned by Adsense? Do you have any experience with making that happen?

    For the record, I NEVER use AI for any of my own content. I used to be a professional writer for a print newspaper 30 years ago, so I prefer writing my own content. However, AI can be useful, especially if someone is not a native English writer.

    Are You Posting Google Web Stories?

    Will this go from being a good thing to something saturated quickly, like Google News was back in the day?

    WTS Sell website with 2.5k monthly visitors

    URL? Niche? Revenue?? Traffic Source? CMS? Registrar? If you want to actually sell the site then you need to add more to your sales thread than just saying you have a site for sale!!!

    I have been banned by Google AdSense. Google? Why?

    I've never understood why Adsense is so popular, as a person needs tons of traffic just to earn pennies on the dollar. Some people with 1000's of visitors per day can make a couple bucks from it, but even then they're giving up prime real estate on their site just to show ads for a product you...

    I have been banned by Google AdSense. Google? Why?

    I would question why you think Adsense is important, as affiliate ads will bring in FAR more money with far less traffic, but if you are ok with making less money, then I suppose you can keep begging for mercy with Google. Just seems a waste to me. Even Amazon ads are better than Adsense, and...

    Do You Think AI Will Replace The Need For Search Engines?

    Perhaps forums & discussion groups will become less important if people just get a summary result, but then again if forums & groups die off, then where will Google get its results from?

    Do You Think AI Will Replace The Need For Search Engines?

    With the gaining popularity of AI-driven information websites, such as perplexity.ai, do you think they are becoming the new search engines of choice? If you want to know about something you can simply ask AI instead of Google these days. Even with ecommerce searches it is quite possible that...

    Pages not getting indexed

    Get a link back to content that is RELEVANT to your content being linked to. For example, you don't want a link from a tech site if you sell pet supplies. You also want to get a link from a site that gets crawled frequently, so that it helps you get indexed. Something bigger with more content...

    Pages not getting indexed

    Google can be slow, but even 6 months seems like a long time. Do you have a high spam score or some other reason why it might be an issue? Try getting 1 or 2 backlinks (NOT 100's!!) from a site that gets crawled frequently to see if that helps.

    Footer Links vs. Content-Embedded Links - Which is More Effective?

    A bit of both. Footer for general links, such as contact, privacy policy, etc, and then use specifically relevant links sprinkled in your content.
