Posted by SMPoultonGoogle Analytics (GA) is a wonderful and powerful tool, but all too often it can lead to some poor decision-making based on incorrect Channel Grouping attribution.

Posted by KelseyLibert[Estimated read time: 9 minutes] In a recent Whiteboard Friday about 10x content, Rand said to expect it to take 5 to 10 attempts before you’ll create a piece of content that’s a hit. If you’ve been at the content marketing game for a while, you probably agree with Rand. Seasoned content marketers know you’re likely to see a percentage of content flops before you achieve a big win. Then, as you gain a sense for why some content fails and other content succeeds, you integrate what you’v... →

Posted by Dr-PeteFour years ago, just weeks before the first Penguin update, the MozCast project started collecting its first real data. Detecting and interpreting Google algorithm updates has been both a far more difficult and far more rewarding challenge than I ever expected, and I've learned a lot along the way, but there's one nagging question that I've never been able to answer with any satisfaction. Can we use past Google data to predict future updates?Before any analysis, I've always been a fan of us... →

Posted by Kristina Kledzik[Estimated read time: 9 minutes] If you’re an SEO, chances are, you’ve recommended link building as a tactic. And, unless you work for a very trusting firm, you’ve probably been met with the question, “When will we see a return on our investment, and how much will we see?” This is a question I’ve been asked numerous times, but never had a good answer for. The truth is, a new link doesn't affect rankings immediately. That makes it hard to tie an individual link to SERP rankings incr... →

Posted by larry.kim[Estimated read time: 13 minutes] Does organic click-through rate (CTR) data impact page rankings? This has been a huge topic of debate for years within the search industry. Some people think the influence of CTR on rankings is nothing more than a persistent myth. Like the one where humans and dinosaurs lived together at the same time — you know, like in that reality series "The Flintstones"? Some other people are convinced that Google must look at end user data. Because how in the world ... →

Posted by ronell-smith[Estimated read time: 8 minutes] One of my most memorable interactions in college took place in English 202, when my professor would have us come to the front of the class and share with him (while seated in a chair right beside his desk) what our thesis was for the assignment we'd be working on for the first half of the semester. In nearly every case, my thesis was too long, something my professor had no truck with. "Smith," he'd say, "if you cannot explain it in a sentence, you don't... →

Posted by randfish[Estimated read time: 2 minutes] Yes. I've read the studies. I know the correlations. Long-form content, on average, earns more engagement, higher rankings, and more shares than their more concise brethren. Not sure where the idea that "great content" = "really, really long content" came from, but we need to dispel that myth.— Rand Fishkin (@randfish) March 30, 2016 But, that does not make long-form content the same as great content. It does not make long-form content the goal of every con... →
