CREATIVE in TiME’s Post

Ever got déjà vu while browsing a website's pages? 👀 “This content looks familiar,” you think. “I’ve come across this before”. Content that is similar to or an exact copy of content on another page or website is called duplicate content. Around 30% of all web content falls within the category. So chances are, you have it on your website as well. 😬 Is there a penalty for duplicate content from Google? As of now, not really. But it can throw off search engines, making it harder for your page to rank. Looking to beef up your link equity? Then, duplicate content is not your friend. Because if you create internal links between two identical pages, the link equity for both gets diluted. Duplicate content can also mess with your link-building efforts. Quick fix: slap on a canonical tag or redirect duplicates to a preferred spot. Finally, when Google sees two identical pages, it will show only one in search results - and that might not be the page you’d actually prefer. Best bet? Keep it fresh with original content whenever you can! What do you think of duplicate content? Have you ever had issues? #seotips #duplicatecontent #searchengineoptimization

How Duplicate Content Can Severely Impact Your Website's Ranking? I've seen firsthand how duplicate content can severely impact your website's ranking. Search engines prioritize unique, valuable content, and when they encounter duplicates, they struggle to determine which version to rank. This can lead to lower visibility and traffic. Key issues include: 1. Diluted Authority: Backlinks may spread across duplicates, weakening your site's authority. 2. Indexing Problems: Search engines may skip indexing your content altogether. 3. User Experience: Users may find it frustrating to encounter the same information repeatedly. Are you aware of the duplicate content on your site? How do you ensure your content remains unique and engaging? Let’s discuss strategies to overcome this challenge! if you know let me know in comments #seotips #seojobs #interviewquestions #mncjobs #duplicatecontent

Are You Continuesly Publishing Content On Your Website? Then STOP ❌ Instead, try this... Many websites have multiple blog posts that receive little to no traffic, yet they continue posting new content. Stop wasting your resources and focus on optimizing your existing content instead. Here's how: 1. Google Search Console: Filter for the last 3 months. 2. Export Keyword Data: Filter for keywords in positions 5-15. 3. Identify Pages: Note down the pages corresponding to these keywords. Pages ranking between 5-15 are almost there. Google thinks they're good but they need a little boost to reach the top 3. Now, refresh your content: - Update meta titles and heading tags. - Write new sections. - Enhance existing sections. - Perform internal linking. - Focus on long-tail keywords. Optimizing your existing content is a far more effective strategy for growing your website than constantly publishing new posts. 🙋♂️ Want to improve your website rankings? Let’s connect over DM!

What to do after you identify Entities? 🙄 Once you've identified relevant entities, you can: Incorporate Entities in Content: Use entities to make your content more contextually rich and search engine optimized. This includes using them in titles, meta descriptions, and throughout the body of your content. Optimize for User Intent: Entities help you align your content with what users are actually searching for, improving the match between user queries and your content. Enhance Knowledge Graph Presence: By optimizing your content with relevant entities, you can improve your visibility in Google's Knowledge Graph, which can lead to better SERP features like rich snippets. Improve Topical Authority: Creating detailed entity maps and using entities to establish context can improve your website's topical authority. #contentwriting #contentstrategy #seostrategy #seo2024 #seotips

I've seen people try things like changing page titles, meta descriptions, or headings, and even copying competitors by using similar subheadings. Honestly? That approach misses the point.

The goal is to refresh your content so it’s not only up-to-date but also more useful than anything else out there.

Here's a tip based on an audit I was doing the other day. One thing that's important to talk about when looking at keywords or entities or anything you think you should be ranking for is INTENT and the type of content that matches that intent. When auditing some of the older blogs we'd written for a client, I saw that while the intent matched up (education), the Google SERPs indicated that people also wanted to view products. And our blog didn't focus on products. So, in the audit, that's something that we noted we should update. Not just to mention products, but to link to them and make it easy for users to browse and buy. When you're reviewing older content on your site -- which you should be regularly doing! -- be sure you're looking at what features the search pages promote for those queries. Videos? Images? Products/purchasing options? Comparisons (A vs. B)? Take note of those things and consider them when updating or creating your own content! #seoaudit #contentaudit #contentplan #seoplan #seostrategy #contentstrategy
