Hi everyone! I have a skool group that I am growing as well as a website with a free to use AI app to help people find business ideas. I’m hoping to learn how to maximize SEO for my AI website for Google ad revenue and traffic to my skool group.

Hey guys! Today, we're diving deep into the world of anchor text optimization, an essential component of your SEO toolkit that can significantly boost your site's visibility and ranking on Google. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned expert, mastering the art of crafting perfect anchor text is crucial for enhancing your link-building efforts and propelling your site to the top of search engine results pages (SERPs). What is Anchor Text? Anchor text is the clickable, visible text in a hyperlink that users and search engines use to determine the relevancy and value of the linked page. It plays a pivotal role in SEO, as it helps search engines understand the context and content of the link's destination, influencing your site's ranking and user experience. Types of Anchor Text - Exact-match: Anchor text that exactly matches the keyword or phrase you're targeting. - Partial-match: Includes variations or part of the target keyword. - Branded: Uses your brand name as the anchor. - Generic: Common phrases like "click here" or "read more." - Naked URLs: The URL itself serves as the anchor. - Best Practices for Anchor Text Optimization 1. Diversify Your Anchor Text Profile: A natural and diverse anchor text distribution is key. Mix exact-match, partial-match, branded, generic, and naked URLs to avoid over-optimization penalties. 2. Relevance is Key: Ensure your anchor text is relevant to the page it's linking to. This improves user experience and helps search engines better understand your site's structure. 3. Avoid Over-Optimization: Overusing exact-match anchor text can trigger search engine penalties. Strive for a balanced and natural approach. 4. Leverage Internal Linking: Use descriptive anchor text for internal links to help search engines crawl and index your site more effectively. 5. Monitor Your Anchor Text Ratio: Regularly review your anchor text distribution to maintain a healthy and optimized profile. 6. Diverse anchor text profile, including brand/URL anchors, exact match, partial match, generic ("click here," "read more"), and naked URLs. This diversity helps in mimicking a natural backlink profile that avoids over-optimization penalties. 7. Determining niche-specific target anchor text distributions by analyzing the top 5 ranking sites using tools like Ahrefs. This involves categorizing anchor texts by type and calculating their distribution to understand what search engines favor in a given niche.

Hey folks, probably have seen rumblings of how wild the March Core Update has been already - lot of people complaining about AI sites/content getting hit, even de-indexed (which is why I never copy and paste from ChatGPT - too large of a footprint, everyone is doing that) so Google is seriously on the warpath early on. Don't panic if you get clipped on some keywords. Take this with a grain of salt, but I've cross referenced early data across clients, test sites and big power sites like the Naplab site I referenced a few months back and here's what I'm seeing so far: - Power page process is going strong - (see Power Page post) - Seeing the same thing on test sites power page, other clients and sites like Naplab using deep SEO optimization - not getting slapped down, even growing in the face of this update - More sophisticated the SEO at the page level, harder for Google to see patterns (i.e. safety in complexity, danger in mass footprint tactics - big data is easier to parse for a giant like the Big G which is both a strength and a weakness for them) - Entity SEO has been super helpful because of how deep it goes e.g. of one piece: YT video embed (optimized of course and linking to same page it's embedded on) --> video schema --> Knowledge Graph ID for main KWs in the sameas = just one piece of power page (nobody is doing this so flares go up and Google's heat seeking missiles go after what everyone does - be careful when reading advice online) - Custom images are big now, lots of opportunities here - Google loves multimodal - Big names in SEO who are sharing their huge mass produced sites in case studies through AI or programmatic SEO are getting slapped hard - not smart to begin with, shouldn't be sharing that stuff with Google scanning everything - AI still helpful but best when combined with human editing, deeper SEO to flesh thigs out several levels and 'sculpt the AI' - Give any clients a heads up that we are in the middle of this storm but not to panic as we have tools and protocols at our disposal for things like this. Keep things steady and focused on the future with examples like these which are surviving the update
