Niche site expanding it's topics - split domains - benefits vs risk? Need some insight from experienced SEOs. I have a highly successful niche travel website, it's grown to become the highest-ranking site for that niche. But this year I've been experimenting with off-topic broader articles and they've been ranking really well, for example, I've been able to outcompete most of the other sites within those topics after 2-5 months of publishing these articles. Once I realised I could rank for the more general and more competitive keywords, I started writing more articles with the plan to transfer these articles to... 3 0 replies
SEMrush Hi everyone, I'm 45 years old and have recently transitioned into the SEO field after working in a call center.

New to SEO - seems like a full time job - any ethical hacks or suggestions? I have built a Shopify sports equipment brand using 100% paid traffic. When I was researching similar companies recently, I realized that a lot if not most of their traffic comes from organic search. Now I’m learning about SEO but the more I’m learning the more I’m realizing that this is going to be a brutally time consuming process. I have paid for some services on Fiverr in the past but they probably did more harm than good. Friends, do you have any suggestions about how I should proceed?... 1 1 replies
How Do You Handle Clients Who Are Extremely Resistant to Change? I’m working with a client right now who runs an e-commerce site, and I feel like I’m banging my head against a wall trying to make some critical changes to improve their SEO and user experience. Their homepage is a nightmare with over 1,800 words crammed into text-heavy sections that read like someone pasted a blog post across the page. There are some images and product blocks scattered in, but it’s overwhelming and far from user-friendly. I’ve recommended a more modern, streamlined approach: a large hero image, clean product... 5 5 replies

I may not know much about SEO but I despise when Digital Marketing Agencies do this... I know very little about SEO but I was looking at web design and marketing agencies and found various agency websites that do "keyword stuffing" (that's how you guys call it, right?). It not only looks awful but for some reason makes me feel...bad. Like they're being pushy, or acting needy. Not sure how to describe it but I don't like it... I wouldn't like a website for my business to be like that... This is **only an excerpt** from an online marketing agency website I found. It is... 2 10 replies

Can a Website Solely Rely on SEO for Traffic and Sales? I’m currently working on a streetwear website and focusing all my marketing efforts on SEO. Right now, I’m not using any other channels like paid ads, social media, or email marketing I am only doing search engine optimization.

Is it worth paying for analytics and conversion analysis with Lucky Orange? Hi everyone, I’m currently using Lucky Orange for heatmaps, and it’s great—I can see where my customers are going on the site and where they’re dropping off. They recently offered me an option to get analytics or have someone from Fiverr analyze the data and give me suggestions for improving conversions. Here’s my question: Is this really necessary? My website doesn’t seem to have any major issues, and I’ve already made things quick and user-friendly. Could it just be that people are browsing without necessarily being ready to buy?... 3 5 replies

Has Anyone Had Their Entire Website Stolen and Duplicated? Today discovered that someone copied my entire website word for word, including the design. They seem to have changed only the logo and some coloring, but oddly enough, they kept my phone number and only swapped out the email address in the footer. Seems like they copied but never launched. We are a local home service company and this has taken a toll on our SEO. Our SEO person noticed a drop in search rankings and traffic right around the time their copy went live. It’s frustrating because I’ve... 1 10 replies
