Hey, I am John.
An employee of Google.
I talk about SEO for 14 years, but I did not rank even a single website.

One of the number 1 Google-based Infulencer.

@BowTiedWookie @Charles_SEO Lastly, your claim about hidden columns in the Google sheets seems misplaced. If you’re missing the full picture, it might be more due to overlooking the core principles than a lack of transparency on Koray’s part. It’s important to engage fully before passing judgment.

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

@BowTiedWookie @Charles_SEO it’s about reinforcing contextual relevance across your content network. Koray’s strategies aim to help SEO professionals think deeply about content structure, rather than taking superficial actions like blindly adding or cutting pages.

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

@BowTiedWookie Good, then stop talking about others. First, focus on building something for yourself.

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

@DMurrayInvests @BowTiedWookie Proof? There are no affiliate links in the TA Course. It seems like you have personal issues that prevent you from thinking objectively.

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

@lilyraynyc I wonder how many people have actually seen improvements thanks to “link building” agencies or from suggestions by Google’s search relations team. Probably zero.

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

@matthewmarley @TheDevonWayne @lilyraynyc I’m guessing you’re no longer able to sell your cheap links, are you?

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

@BowTiedWookie Have you or Gareth ever ranked any websites? It seems like both of you often criticize others without having produced much yourselves. The guy you’re talking about has 150 video testimonials—how many do you have?

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

@garethaboyd @indexsy You can't prove anyway.

[John Mueller @johnofgoogle]

There were similar tweets just after HCU, then people started to cry.

While critisizing Google, try to follow smarter people.

Who de-indexed my website!

[Tomek Rudzki @TomekRudzki]

.@JohnMu FYI, your website got completely deindexed in Google. It seems Google went crazy 😱

@MarkPreston1969 A person tries to increase engagement without creating proper content.

[Matt Diggity @mattdiggityseo]

Google declared war on content websites.

After the September Helpful Content update, it's crystal clear.

The fact that there’s so much absolute garbage ranking for affiliate terms (parasite SEO sites, reddit, etc), it's like Google is saying “we’re fine with the SERPs being crap, just as long as there’s no content sites ranking.”

So what do you do from here?

Well let’s think about how they’re identifying content websites in the first place.

What’s the line between a content site and not-a-content-site?

I’ve looked at 100’s of websites before and after HCU on dozens of factors.

Here's the ones that stand out between the winners and losers…

✔ Brand Search Volume
✔ Traffic Diversity
✔ Monetization Diversity

Right now, it's experimentation time.

I’ve multiple single variable tests running, waiting for the next HCU to determine which recovery tactics are the most reliable.

I love when SEO gets like this.

Competition is getting frustrated and quitting. Just like with Penguin, Medic, you name it.

Once the new way of doing things has surfaced, it's time to sweep up A… LOT… OF…. MONEY.

Great content ranks (loudy part) with great links (silent part).
