New post is live. A reader asked if having similar steps in a process will create a duplicate content problem for SEO, AIO, GEO, etc... The answer is no. I share why and a few ways you can have similar steps without competition. www.adamriemer.me/seo/similar-... #SEO #AIO #GEO

ChatGPT 5.0 is nowhere near as good as previous versions. Look at this catadactyl, absolutely not accurate and lifelike. Same with the tricerakittens I asked for.

Finally updated my blog. The post is about why redirecting a conversion page (product, lead gen forms, etc...) to content pages for SEO is almost always a bad idea. www.adamriemer.me/digital-mark... #SEO #marketing #AIO #GEO

A few people have been asking me what vectors are for SEO, AI, and LLMs because the current guides out there are techie and confusing. So I created an easy-to-understand one that features dogs and cats. I hope it helps if you're stuck on them. www.adamriemer.me/ai-and-llms/... #LLMs #SEO #AI

My new post on SEJ is live. The person wants to know why their rankings and keywords didn't return after they refreshed their copy. It's because copy is only one part of SEO, everything matters to be able to perform. www.searchenginejournal.com/ask-an-seo-w... #SEO #HeyGoogle #marketing

New post is live and it is about optimizing for LLM inclusions using 3rd party signals. It is not about what you can do with your own website. These are trends and observations I've noticed, but doesn't mean I'm right. I hope you enjoy and it is helpful. www.adamriemer.me/ai-and-llms/...

My new Ask an SEO column is live. The person wants to know if you should optimize for high volume and high competition keywords. My response contradicts itself, but also backs up why. The SEJ team did an awesome job editing the post. www.searchenginejournal.com/ask-an-seo-o... #SEO #content

I wrote a new post yesterday. Yes, schema will help you rank a page and a website, it just depends who you ask and what they do. If you're curious why I'm publishing something that goes against what common knowledge is, here you go. www.adamriemer.me/seo/actually... #SEO #marketing #business

Forgot I wrote this one, haven't gotten a chance to see how it has been edited yet. SEJ asked me to create a guide about 5 or so months ago with some advanced link building ideas. These are things I've done or seen others do and liked. www.searchenginejournal.com/advanced-lin... #SEO #Marketing

Advanced Web Ranking reached out and asked if I'd write a post about how to run split tests for #SEO, and that's a topic I love. So I did. Hope it is able to help you if you're looking for ways to test with less potential damage. www.advancedwebranking.com/blog/seo-ab-...

3 clients in different niches with very different audiences all said the same thing on 3 separate calls this week. 1. Google Ads tanked starting late December/early January 2. Meta Ads on Facebook started crushing it same time I checked the data and it is 100% accurate. Money shifting to Meta now.

Don't rely only on SEO tools to evaluate website traffic and quality. My blog for my company is unoptimized for SEO so the tools show 100 to 200 visitors per month. I normally have about 25K because of social and my email list. Use multiple tools when evaluating who to work with.

My new post, The #1 thing I recommend doing before joining an affiliate program. It's something I've been doing personally for 20+ years and what I still recommend when doing public speeches today. What is your top recommendation? www.adamriemer.me/affiliate-ma... #marketing #advertising

Right now could be the perfect time to restore an AskJeeves style search engine. Its kind of what the original was supposed to be doing, but it didn't have the LLM systems to power it. #SEO #SEOchat #HeyGoogle

My new Ask an #SEO column on Search Engine Journal is live. It's about how long it takes for schema to go live on a search result. I myth bust a few misconceptions about schema, and give an answer based on what we see with sites at different trust levels. www.searchenginejournal.com/ask-an-seo-h...

My new post on Search Engine Land is live. It's all about optimizing your title tags for 2025 and is based on the trends I saw in 2023 and 2024 and how to help yours stand out. searchengineland.com/title-tags-s... #SEO

Search Console just sent a schema error warning for FAQ schema which was deprecated. If it is deprecated, why are they flagging it? 1. Might be an error and they'll say ignore it 2. Maybe FAQ schema is coming back, I saw it on a couple financial SERPs #SEO #SEOchat

Not all trips turn out great. This one started with my room not existing.

AI Overviews are missing source links and citations for some queries today. Hopefully they can add them back in. Also seeing quora, forums, and other opinion sites being sourced on medical and health queries. #SEO #HeyGoogle #seochat

In my latest Ask an SEO column I was asked why an #SEO formula stopped working for their law firm clients. Google looks for unique, original, and informative experiences. If everything uses a formula and is the same, there's no reason to rank you. www.searchenginejournal.com/ask-an-seo-w...

That was fun.

Breakfast buddy this morning.

Feast of seven shellfishes. Happy holidays everyone!

Over the summer I made a post about next steps and the future...and had a comment about mergers. Well I'm excited to share the following news. Please read the entire post. www.adamriemer.me/press-room/f... #agencylife #acquisitions #marketing

🏆🏆 @adamriemer.bsky.social - Ask An SEO: Should I Point Guest Post Backlinks To Homepages Or Individual Ones? www.searchenginejournal.com/ask-an-seo-s...

In my latest ask an SEO column on SEJ I was asked about moving from the second page in Google to the top positions on the first page. Here's some of the things we do with our clients for this: www.searchenginejournal.com/ask-an-seo-h... #SEO #marketing #advertising

If you're going to Digital Marketing Europe in March Make sure you see @adamriemer.bsky.social / Marty Weintraub / Amanda Walls and Luke Cope! There's so many other amazing speakers I'm sure! I had a blast there last year, great venue and amazing city!

ICYMI: Review affiliates, influencers, and partners can be high, mid, and low value touchpoints. Other times they accidently break attribution lines. Here's how we work with them in our programs so both they and our clients win. www.adamriemer.me/affiliate-ma...

New layout for me on product queries. - Product listings - Where to buy - YouTube and/or social media reviews - A retailer (Macy's) with a collection/category page and how recently the page was updated as a tag Under shop the store it has two retailers not from above. #SEO #HeyGoogle #marketing

New Google core update rolling out which is why we're likely seeing weird search results right now and spammy sites showing up in top positions. Happened during the last few in the same way and then they went away. status.search.google.com/incidents/V9... #SEO #HeyGoogle

This one is kind of funny.

I no longer like Google.

Doing end of year client calls with and the data for a majority is freaking awesome. Some are established brands and are getting 500% growth in new customer acquisition. Others are starting out and seeing substantial climbs. One let us try channels that "don't work" and we got them to work.

A couple people asked so responding here. No, I'm not mad and nothing is wrong. Now - February is busy season and I have to prioritize. My priorities are my team, clients, affiliates and partners, friends, family, and then my personal time like fitness and food. Everything else can wait right now.

That was fun.

New Post in the first comment. It's a theory that affiliate browser extensions could lead to increased positions in SEO rankings. i.e. move from positions 4 - 7 up to 1 -3. There are 3 sections that go through the background, examples, and a test you can try. #SEO #marketing #advertising

First snow of the year here in DC! Happy holiday season everyone!

Grrr...that moment you wrap up an article that took three hours only to realize you went in the exact opposite direction and need to start from scratch. And all of the research was wrong. Ohh well, part of the fun. At least next week is a slow one. #marketinglife #marketing
