Cool SEO tips from Ted Kubaitis

1. Separate SEO and human-focused CRO efforts to enable independent optimization of both areas. Main text aims to engage readers while supplemental elements specifically target search engines without needing to detract from conversions.
2. Competing aggressively on Referring Domains when building links allows you to go wide and gain diversity in backlink profile before selectively pursuing deeper relationships with just select high-authority sites.
3. Indexing issues for key pages often arise from triggering the MC4 webspam algorithm by only using a small subset of techniques excessively. “Unsticking” requires increasing overall diversity of optimization factors leveraged.
4. To sustain rankings long-term, fix easy-to-implement “zero to one” diversity signals – take as many factors as possible used by ranking pages from a count of 0 instances to at least 1 instance.
5. Utilize a press release with target keywords, relevant topic and exact-match anchor text to secure ~500 referring domains cost-effectively if lacking backlinks.
6. Audit site taxonomy for category names not aligned to realistic search queries – update them to terms users would intuitively seek out for higher chance of discovery.
7. For initial training, intentionally create a test site or separate subdomain to freely experiment on without risk before eventually promoting winning pages to the live production URL once refined.
8. Over-optimize sparingly in strategically small doses before carefully incorporating some additional diversity signals and monitoring impact to avoid triggering webspam safeguards.
