Saw this on Jeopardy yesterday. Thought the #seo community would dig it. #whatis #searchengineoptimization

[Jon Kelly @hyperlinksdotco]

This 2 hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT & Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

Bookmark this & give 2 hours today, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you do this week.

Seriously, what's one action you take for AEO/GEO/etc. that does not fall under the umbrella of SEO?

[Jon Kelly @hyperlinksdotco]

@ethanjaack indeed

@rustybrick of course they are. "SEOs" that buy links are the same lazy, shortcut-taking, spam infesting amateurs this industry has been plagued with since day one.

[Jon Kelly @hyperlinksdotco]

@nathangotch Since approach is the "unsexy", yet very effective, and has been since the early days of SEO.

[Nathan Gotch @nathangotch]

There is no perfect SEO strategy for Google or AI search engines.

If you're just starting, do the following:

1️⃣ Make your website insanely crawlable, indexable, and easy to understand.

- Use HTML, care about loading speed, build a strong site architecture (via internal links), and mark up your pages with schema.

This is all stuff within your control, so there's really no excuse not to do it.

2️⃣ Identify 100 unique topics that are closely related to your product or service

3️⃣ Create 100 unique assets that cover the topics in full (use @getrankability for maximum relevance).

Does the topic have different intent?

It probably deserves a dedicated page. When in doubt, look at the SERPs.

4️⃣ Find the top 100 websites in your niche and try to get backlinks on those websites

This isn't easy, but it works. And your competitors won't do it because they're still trying to formulate a genius SEO strategy.

Action creates intelligent strategy.

Stop trying to predict the future.

Act > learn > iterate > get better results

[Cyrus Maxx @CyrusShepard]

Google announces they will only send people to 3rd party websites when they want to buy something, and only if they click a Google ad

* Not really, but that's the practical effect

[Jon Kelly @hyperlinksdotco]

@cabot_phillips sarcasm might be hard to detect for some…awesome tweet

[Jon Kelly @hyperlinksdotco]

@hasantoxr SEO agencies are not dead. they are more important than ever in all this noise.

[Jon Kelly @hyperlinksdotco]

Hey @google, why bother to show results in your “news”, or in organic rankings at all, for websites like @globeandmail when the result is nothing but a paywall?

Google responds to leak: Documentation lacks context and warns relying on these details https://t.co/lfBKRoxB7m

[Rand Fishkin (follow @randderuiter on Threads) @randfish]

If you're not changing anything about how you do SEO following the Google Leak... You're not paying attention.

I'm not even in search, and I'm changing a whole heap of tactics and strategy! New post & video on SparkToro with details.
