Confessions of an SEO

Confessions of an SEO

By Carolyn Holzman

When I started marketing my own media publishing company, I discovered my true passion - SEO. SEO stands for "search engine optimization" and it's how websites and other digital properties are set up and presented to search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Youtube and more - so that customers who do not KNOW a business or service by name, and when looking for a solution to the problem seemingly "stumble" across the perfect fit for them. My story starts at the point when I decided to offer the same energy and effort to help other businesses who I thought were like me and my own business.

Helpful Content Palaver - Season 4, Episode 12

In this week's episode I found that on the menu was more things like an SEO Conference that I'll be speaking at this summer about...THE HELPFUL CONTENT SYSTEM and what it targets sharing actual data. Not regurgitating Google developer docs and double-speak.


Its the Rank Elevation SEO Summit

Happening June 10-11, 2024

At the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort

In Kelowna, British Columbia - Canada

Seemly Random - Helpful Content System - Season 4, Episode 11

Seemly Random - Helpful Content System - Season 4, Episode 11

In this episode I go over some interesting items from this week during the March 2024 Core update, things that I'm working on right now - what's going on with the indexation research project and a new phase of testing that I'm embarking on which will be publicly shared (mostly).

Then I pop back into the HouseFresh discussion.

Link to the article that started it all.

⁠⁠⁠https://housefresh.com/david-vs-digital-goliaths/⁠⁠⁠

Basically the topic in this is what makes the Helpful Content portion of this analysis slippery. Ever try to catch a greased pig? Who does that?

Apparently SEOs like me and like Marie Ysais, so if you're looking for MORE details on the deep dive - here's a link to a playlist on the Forensic SEO Channel on Youtube.

House Fresh Response: We're on a Mission from Gad - Season 4, Episode 9

It wasn't until this was recorded that I could tell how many birds were out today and it sounds like spring has sprung.

In this sister episode to last week's story, I explore the possibility that House Fresh is killing their own site and maybe a little tease to the 2nd video in the Response Series about this viral confession.

Forced Indexing, Season 4, Episode 7

Forced Indexing, Season 4, Episode 7

Have our expectations led us to do (or not do) things?

This episode demonstrates what I think encapsulates one of the greatest changes in the indexation since 2015 to today. It ain't pretty but it is what it is - our options are shrinking.

The Emperor Has No Measurements - Season 4, Ep 5

The Emperor Has No Measurements - Season 4, Ep 5

This week episode topic was born out of an article describing a twitter conversation between a site owner that had a page that popped in and out of the serps and Google's SearchLiason Danny Sullivan.

https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-searchliason-4-reasons-why-a-webpage-couldnt-rank/506707/


Who wouldn't want to get a hot take on what recommendations someone from the Search side of Google?

It was then on my own journey into WHY WAS this page having so much trouble?

Without access to search console - only the URL and the most likely keyword target its surprising how much information one can glean.

Oh, and I used Cora.

Can They Really Do That? - Season 4, Episode 4

Can They Really Do That? - Season 4, Episode 4

In this week's episode I found a friend I didn't know I had on the other side of the Atlantic - Tomek Rudzki from Onely and the software they built to monitor when Google stops serving content.

I think we're gonna be fast friends!

Anyway, I decided the real topic was not WHAT Google did but ask at the fundamental level - is it ethical for them to do what they did to an entire brand even if it was over the weekend?

The AI Conversation We Have to Have - Season 4, Episode 3

The AI Conversation We Have to Have - Season 4, Episode 3

In this episode I'm going to talk about something we need to talk about - no, not the birds and the bees - AI - artificial intelligence.

And remember, this is the safe place to discuss all the scary things about SEO, Google and frankly, clients!!!!

The impetus for this topic was my attendance at the Agency Fast Track 2024 Virtual conference - it ran from Thursday January 18th - 21st online. We were in a virtual office space with a Hall auditorium and a virtual bar!

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Change can feel so scary but I think after we talk - it just might be a touch exciting.

Top SEO Podcast on Semrush's Must Listen List - Season 4, Episode 2

Episode 2 - We made an exclusive list!!

I couldn't resist talking in this episode about the honor it was given on Semrush's Top 10 SEO Podcasts at the end of 2023.

https://www.semrush.com/blog/seo-podcasts/

And Confessions is in some great company - Search Off the Record (Google's Search Relation Team), Best SEO Podcast (The Unknown Secrets of Internet Marketing), Search With Candour, Authority Hacker Podcast,

#5 Confessions of an SEO !!!!

SERP’s Up, EDGE of the Web, SEO 101, The Recipe for SEO Success and The Search Engine Journal Show,

And since all my friends were too busy to answer their phones, you get to be the first that I talked about it with!


Then I went into the topic of the show which might be a theme this year - how Google has changed and that Google interprets our search terms.

In this episode I share my thoughts on something related to the Indexation Research Project that I didn't give much thought to initially that has actually been a learning experience. OK, so its not going as I initially thought but learning from it is worth its weight in gold.

No One Is An Island Unto Themselves - Season 3 Episode 31

Its here. The final episode of 2023 - and in this episode I put a stake in the heart of 2023! LOL!


Hope you enjoy it. Warning. I talk about feelings in this one. From all accounts this year was brutal for some and amazing for others. Yet, we're all in this together. At least that's what I think.

The title comes from a poem from a long time ago. And yet, it applies today.

Here's the link to Olga Zarr's podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/si/podcast/seo-podcast-by-seosly/id1652341332


Some tools I use and recommend:

Cora Software ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/confessionscora⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On page analysis tool - use it every day.

GSC Tool - https://bit.ly/gsctool

A chrome extension that helps me with repetitive tasks in search console and has a connector to the Google Indexing API so it doesn't go through 3rd parties.


Also, I talk about a conference I'm doing in January and a new Level 1 SEO course for a particular niche in 2024.

Confessions - Different Day, Same Bot Time, Same Bot Channel

So in the interest of consistency, the day for NEW Confessions of an SEO is moving to Tuesdays. Work load for the week has gotten more involved and I think making this change will help me kick out 4 episodes a month - December is the test!

Notes From Nineveh

Today's episode I share a couple of stories about what I've been up to this past week - and something that developed into a "thing."

The Nineveh reference is part of it.

You Can't Handle The Truth S3 Episode 26

You Can't Handle The Truth S3 Episode 26

Regular listeners know that I love movies - but more than that - I love to QUOTE from movies. This one comes from a "Few Good Men" which you can likely easily find it to watch on many streaming options.


This past week there was a blip and one that continues in the indexation and likely I will be the only one who will not shut up about it.

I'm like that.

I also take exception to the normal Google talking points when it comes to what is within our control and what is not.

Hope you enjoy.

Google and The Update - Season 3, Episode 25

I can only say that running a business, developing an indexer, testing that indexer as well as Google’s indexation system and creating all the content used in all that testing does kind of fill up the days - even the weekends.

Here's the video I talked about where Jesper Nissen, developer of YACSS cloud stacking software shows how to stack parasite seo properties as backlinks.

WWJD Confessions of an SEO - Season 3 Episode 24

WWJD Confessions of an SEO - Season 3 Episode 24

In this episode I went on a digital journey through the idea of WWJD - What Would John (Mueller) Do if he were to need to earn a living through the success or failure of a website.


Is it possible that Google itself may not have anyone on the premise that could rank a local plumber site?


Not that I'm knocking them but I wondered IF we could determine what type of domain name - what hosting and from there the journey took on a life of its own.


In fact, I felt like I knew a little more about John Mueller now after finding everything I did.


Look for the companion article - I hope to have it live by launch time. There is some much to document!

Care to take a peek at John's website? John Mueller

Happy Birthday & Happy Update

Happy Birthday & Happy Update

This week is a big week for the indexation research project - TWO YEARS in the books...literally. And yes, we're in an update but for the life of me I can not understand why when I thought the year "2009" my mouth SAID the words 2029! The things that plague you when you're getting back up on the podcast horse after taking almost 2 months off of it.

Code of Ethics in SEO - Season 3, Episode 21

Code of Ethics in SEO - Season 3, Episode 21

In this episode of Confessions of an SEO, I compare and contract the SEO industry and our challenge when there is no centralized set of guidelines - guard rails for where and how far does our responsibility for our work extend.

How do we know what is ethical responsibility to our clients, if we can't tell the difference between indexed and served?

If our understanding of the landscape of Google is solely dependent on Google announcements and documents all the while knowing how much they obfuscate what they do (that has a direct impact on us and our clients or projects), does that release us from the obligation to be strive for a professional distinction?

To know for ourselves regardless of what a google tool tells us?

Yeah, this is a rant episode. I am fully guilty of wanting all of us to be better - me included. And maybe wanting us all to be our best doesn't necessarily mean that we're all "THE" best. There are good doctors, there are mediocre doctors more than there are excellent doctors. Why should SEO as a field of endeavor not be subject to the same?

Helpful Content Update and Visitor Expectations - S3 Episode 20

Helpful Content Update and Visitor Expectations - S3 Episode 20

In this episode I am ripping the bandage off of the Helpful Content Update - what is it? what does it do? how do we cope with it when everything we're told by Google is so vague.


What is it about this signal that is NOT covered in the core algorithm? How might it be measured?


If you're easily offended or too vested in believing surrogates, then I recommend that you avoid this episode.


Here are the links to the articles and documents that I reference throughout.

https://www.seroundtable.com/google-helpful-content-update-33949.html

https://www.seroundtable.com/google-helpful-content-score-or-threshold-34560.html

I'd love to hear from you if there are questions or if you've seen something that might be explained by my data and conclusions. Use the contact information below and let me know.

Summer Time - Season 3, Episode 19

Summer Time - Season 3, Episode 19

We're now entering the time of Confessions Mountain edition. As I love this time of year, getting out of the Texas heat and escaping to the mountains of Northwestern Carolina and then later to The Green Mountains of Vermont - success starts to look like retirement - at least to those that don't know me other than on a surface level. If you know me, you know I work and probably won't ever retire.


How much revenue makes a business owner happy? I don't know - but I think our happiness as marketers comes from more than the dollar - although it helps at least up to a point.

Penny Wise Pound Foolish

Penny Wise Pound Foolish

This is the next in the series of Confessions of an SEO. After a hiatus I return with a confessions of sorts - what kind of conversation are we having with business owners?


While attending the YACSS SEO Conference in Denmark not only was I in a terrific group as a speaker - there was more! We started to talk about the need for there to be more professionalism in the SEO industry. And to start, we need to change the conversation we're having with business owners who need our skills to make their company more profitable by getting as many clients, customer, or contracts from their online presence.


I call this episode - Penny Wise Pound Foolish since the "cost" of an SEO campaign depends on the value to the business.

Greater Expectations (My Own) - Season 3, Episode 17

Greater Expectations (My Own) - Season 3, Episode 17

Last week the discussion focused on Client Expectations and maybe how to approach the divide with grace. This week it's about MY expectations and how to literally bulldoze the issue and "don't forget the cannoli" at the same time.


I share the backstory on one of my first owned SEO assets that I leased out to a plumber here in Austin. What did I learn? What did I UN-learn about the situation?

Are We There Yet? The End of an Update - Season 3, Episode 14

Is it over? We might have to wait a little bit more to be certain that the update roll out and check phase is complete. And we might have clues from the indexation research. I am still amazed at how the details from server logs can inform on the machine aspect of Google.

After The Update, Season 3, Episode 13

After The Update, Season 3, Episode 13

So last week I said the update was over, and now Google says the update is over. I believe that. In this episode I talk about what I look for and at after an update. And then I turn my attention to what we as professional SEOs can to do support our clients and their businesses and its not doing something just to show we did something.


Here's the updated link to the live stream. (I really need to figure out how to schedule a live zoom to connect to the youtube) - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMuBC1V9unk


Banking cora reports - I think this is going to be so important to help in the next update.

I'm claiming my time back to work on my own goals and dreams. It feels good as you will no doubt get when you listen to this episode.

After correcting my pictorial data log - I can see the timeframe where Google ran their Product Reviews Update. And then I have a list of things that I'm working on and frankly so excited about that I wonder how I had time to do anything else.

Strategy Optional? Season 3 - Episode 8

Strategy Optional? Season 3 - Episode 8

There's SEO and then there is SEO strategy and most times we only talk about SEO. In this episode I share a little about my thoughts on how often I find part of my struggle is that I'm thinking strategy when I hear tactics. Definitely helped this week knowing that and being aware of how my mind works.

Then we dive into the continuing saga of how different sites that are designated as PRIMARY DESKTOP crawler agents get treated - or rather where I think the breakdown is in the indexation system. HINT: Crawling and Indexing are working fine. Its the OTHER one that seems to not be working properly.

No Serve For You! - Season 3, Episode 7

No Serve For You! - Season 3, Episode 7

Finally we're back to the meat of SEO - theories! LOL! In this episode I share the things that I've been seeing and hearing in the past week and postulate some ideas that might equally explain what we're seeing as other than an "UPDATE".

The sites that are designated as primary desktop crawler compiled data are uniquely curious and serve-resistant.

Let me know what you think.

Episode 5 and 6 - SEO Survivor - Season 3

Episode 5 and 6 - SEO Survivor - Season 3

Februarys are tough in Texas. For the THIRD year in a row we've had multi-day below freezing snow or ice. This is not for the faint of heart apparently. But this last week my part of Austin lost power for FOUR days (4!) and it got me to thinking - if it weren't for electricity our very industry wouldn't exist. The problem solving skills though might get us on those rescue boats if we needed to share our skills with humanity.

Nerd Logs - Season 3, Episode 4

SO this week wasn't a vent as much as a poetic sonnet to server logs, the only logical leg of SEO! I'm preparing for next week's training on server logs as part of the Forensic SEO Training and well, I got started and by the end of it I was feeling pretty good.

Hope you enjoy the ride.

Indexation. Indignation. Season 3, Episode 3

I did it again. This week's episode includes a confession. I did something in the indexation project. Plus I kind of went off on business owners who have no respect for the experience of professional SEOs. 

I use the word fantasy in here AND a use of the Golden Rule. Let's play fair people. I don't try to run your business, don't try to do my job either.

FOMO Free Zone - Season 3, Episode 2

FOMO Free Zone - Season 3, Episode 2

Wow. Out of the gate I think I started at rant level! Never know which end of the stick I'll grab when it comes to what I think about SEO.  This episode came out of one of the responses from the survey from someone who said they wanted more tactical SEO tips because they used one that I shared and it changed their entire SEO experience.

That's very flattering and while I will share more tactical aspects of SEO this season - I wanted to make sure that YOU know I don't want to contribute to what is already a crowded field with everyone clamoring for the same thing - the easy button.

Are You With Me - Season 3, Ep 1

Happy New Year - let's take on the world! LOL! OK I definitely went right up to that venting edge of the cliff and not to just stir things up I am working on a plan to at least put a small dent (a positive one) in the way of creating a body of work that connects the SEO with the businesses they wish to serve and the businesses who want to use SEO services of a company to know how to tell a good one.

This emerged from some of the responses in the Confessions survey - a brand new type of episode is being birthed. It takes me back to the original reason I started the podcast in the first place.

Its that time again for the Confessions of an SEO New Year's Edition! In this episode we start with thanking the sponsers and supporters of this podcast along with the person who got me started on this path initially. It's all her fault!

Then I share some of the items on my "What Do I Want To Do in 2023" in terms of testing and even gardening. What things are you wanting to do?

And then I came up with an idea based on the Survey suggestions on who might be a great interview for our SEO community. And there's plenty of space for YOU to participate.

Rethinking SEO - Season 2, Episode 51

Rethinking SEO - Season 2, Episode 51

This episode is a tangent off the book called - Think Again - The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Adam Grant.  I liked the concept of how we as SEOs live in a world of curiosity and testers often have the courage to admit that things may have changed. 

And for those non-SEOs, we need to remember that to them, if we change something it means we were doing it wrong. Maybe. But the courage to test it out will let us know based on the data and not our intuition.

Let me know what you think.

This week Google announced that they have this status dashboard so we could all know if something is happening in the three systems that comprise the indexation process - crawling, indexing and serving.

Maybe they just saw the Google Index Detector and thought, " hey, we need one of these too!" and they made their own.

The Dark Arts of SEO, Season 2, Episode 47

This episode's alternative title was "Google! What is Wrong With You Where Is The Update You Always Run on Thanksgiving???" SO I talk a little about how we're all quickly murmuring amongst ourselves trying to figure out when it's going to hit.

And in the course of recording this - Google sent proof that they are back in the office. Don't worry, it's not an algo update, it's a search console page report update. That makes THREE this week!

Hope you enjoy these rambling but underneath coherent thoughts.

And if you're wondering what PARROTS have to do with SEO - well, you'll find out right before the end. Ain't I a stinker??

The Thorny Path - Season 2 Episode 44

The Thorny Path - Season 2 Episode 44

Sometimes you can't just ignore when there is lipstick on a pig. That's how I feel about mass site building boons - all the promise all the glory and all the work that will ultimately lead to good old elbow grease when it comes to making those things actually rank if there is any local component to it.

I don't have anything to sell on mass sites so I guess its Ok for me to share my honest opinion and what in practice it takes to make them rank. It is not push button simple and honestly, some that I've seen you literally can not get there from here.

Which is why I call it the "Thorny Path".

In the real world The Thorny Path is a "nearshore route, picked through the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos, then along the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico to the Virgin Islands. "I-65" is an offshore route that takes you east to longitude 65°W to avoid the trade winds before turning south to sail across them instead of dead upwind." [source]- Apparently its a sailing hack.

That's why I call mass sites - "The Thorny (SEO) Path".
