          Hi Guys

          Just curious to hear what you guys do to rank blog posts in the top in Google especially onsite, after the RankBrain update? Do you still use SEO tools to optimize this or are the SEO tools outdated for this? If yes which tools do you use to get success with?

          Cheers

          John

            I am also doing SEO using rank brain psychology. The website is totally based on the Panda helper.

            Other things that I want to mention are mcdvoice con, iosemus, blacksheep and hipstore.

            Can I track the ranking when applying for rankbrain technique.

                    SEO tools are still invaluable.  There is dozens of factors that you have to get right, so seo tools audit your site and keep you informed.  Tech is more complicated than people think, an update breaks something etc etc.   So seo tools have there place.  That said marketing and seo are merging, so that is another factor.  The starting point is x10 content then optimising and creating shareable content.

                    Hope that helps.

                      Thanks Don. So to give you more details, we want to rank for popular keyword phrases for a specific topic.  So my question is whether you really need an SEO tool nowadays to check for keyword density, how many times the phrase was used etc

                      Isn't the key to focus on the user first and less so optimizing based on these seo tools.

                        It is too broad a question to answer in detail.  Rank Brain is about optimising the customer experience etc. So the best starting point is the quality of content.

                        This is still a great WBF on content - that will cover any rank brain concerns..

                        https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/blog/how-to-create-10x-content-whiteboard-friday

                        So, in short, yes, we still use plenty of tools, from GA to Moz, and many more.

                        Hope that helps.

                          Hotel SEO, 3-pack & Search Console: How to get the right data and how to improve CTR?

                          Hey guys, I've been working with some hotels and I feel like there are some specific issues which need special solutions. 
                          Maybe some of you also work for hotels and face similar problems. Question 1: Google "forces" 3-packs impressions to OTAs like booking.com via Hotel Ads. You basically have a big blue "book now" button and a small little website button. This ends up basically leading to CTRs below 1% despite a 1-3 Position. Is there any way to improve the organic CTR? Of course we use hotel ads, but they offer bad analytics AND we basically pay for our SEO-Performance. Question 2: Search console doesn't specify wether or not a impression comes from 3-Pack or the rest of the organic results, which basically leads to a  average position which says nothing. It's hard to evaluate the performance of meta-titles and texts, because the ctr is also mixed. What would be a better way to get this data or do you think google will change this in some time (new search console doesn't offer this). Question 3: Hotel Rankings are dominated by OTAs, Meta-Searchers and BIg Chains. Has anyone experience in SEO for smaller, family owned Hotels? Any tricks how to get a steady traffic source outside of brand results? Hope there are some travel experts in here 🙂

                          Why is old site not being deindexed post-migration?

                          We recently migrated to a new domain (16 days ago), and the new domain is being indexed at a normal rate (2-3k pages per day). The issue is the old domain has not seen any drop in indexed pages. I was expecting a drop in # of indexed pages inversely related to the increase of indexed pages on the new site. Any advice?

                          Numbers vs #'s For Blog Titles

                          For your blog post titles, is it "better" to use numbers or write them out? For example, 3 Things I love About People Answering My Constant Questions or Three Things I Love About People Answering My Constant Questions? I could see this being like the attorney/lawyer, ecommerce/e-commerce and therefore not a big deal. But, I also thought you should avoid using #'s in your url's. Any thoughts, Ruben

                          Server Location & SEO

                          So I just read an interesting Tweet: #SEO Tip: #Google takes into account the location of the server (the IP) when projecting the search results #web This is something I had not thought of. I suppose my question then is HOW does it factor this information into it's results? For some reason, one of our sites is hosted on a Canadian server. We are a cloud hosting company and we serve all of NA with data centers in the US and Canada... For whatever reason we've used the Canadian server farm for our web server. Could this possibly be hurting our NA google SERPs? Anyone have any thoughts on this?

                          Is changing your meta titles frequently good SEO Practice

                          Greetings, Im a new SEO and really knew nothing until signing up to SEOMoz. After reading the SEO101 and gathering as much information in a short period of time things started  to become a little clearer. So I started my first campaign used my new SEO knowledge and input all of my meta information. Then I waited a few days to see what happened with my search result. We had never ranked for a single keyword before mind you. So a couple/few of days go by and I started punching in my keywords and looking through the pages. There I was page three. I was SO happy. I read the entire SEO101 again, realized a little more about what I had to do. So I started changing everything up, adding pictures, I found out what a IMG ALT Attributes were in the HTML editor, bolded text and all the other things I missed the first time around. Three days go by and I move up again. I start to notice my traffic is increasing and I am actually getting organic hits through search traffic. This has never happened before. I am over the moon. But I realize that I have my main focus keyword as the second key word in my title tag. So I switch the two words around, wait a few more days. Here's why I ask my question. The original title tag was still showing up and I was on the first page for both keywords, and I could see both title tags when searching for either keyword. So; Is changing your meta titles frequently good SEO Practice ? Warmest regards, Michael S&M Warning: adult site, NSFW

                          Top 5 most optimized websites

                          Throwing this question out to the community but was wondering if anyone can direct me on how I can find the top 5 or 10 ten sites that have been most optimized for search engines. Meaning which web sites have the best reputation when it comes to website optimization for search engines or is there a resource where I can read about websites that have been ranked as the best when it comes to following best practices and have constantly ranked well within their industry? Figured it's always a good idea to learn from the best by looking at what they are doing. Thank you.

                          What are the good strategies using satellite sites in SEO??

                          Hello to everybody, We'are thinking about launching a massive amount of satellite websites in order to promote our website. Is it really efficient in terms of link building? Or is the ROI really small due to the amount of time and money needed to create and manage these websites? Thanks a lot!!! Update: Thanks to all of you for all these interesting answers!
