    Neil thank you so much for your help. We now have about 6 featured snippets and just rebuilt the website this weekend to make it AMP friendly. Just waiting on google. Will be finishing out the rest over the next few weeks and taking over the industry. Thank you so much for sharing your SEO knowledge. Hope to be able to give back like you. It is so cool hearing Google so our company name on a voice device.

    Webmasters still misunderstand the primary purpose of link building.
    Link building is not for getting links that increase ranking; link building is more getting real results: sales, brand awareness, etc.
    There are no two the same projects.
    Neil has a lot of backlinks.
    I'm not sure that more links will help him.
    It depends on your project and benchmark.
    For example, I pay more attention to social media promotion for my new website because I can gather more relevant connections there and more followers that one day might be my customers, as well.
    When I launch my new tool, then I'll spend more time with outreach.
    Each project is unique that demands its own methods of promotion.
    Please, share your thoughts in the comments.
    I'm talking about this on my channel.

Tell your video editor that to get rid of the green screen spill on your hands and head, he should simply use the built-in tool for that which is included in all professional editing suites. It might be called spill, decontaminate, or something like that. Alternatively, you can try using less light on the green screen itself, which is a cause for spill.

    • @monenuel2526
      @monenuel2526 4 года назад +1

      As a new website, you really need to avoid short tale keywords because you just won't rank at all...
      Maybe not at all, but u won't rank.
      However if you have been able to achieve a DA of say 35 and above, you can start targeting such keywords.
      but remember user intent is the most important for you to focus on.
      Because Google is not smart enough to recognise intent.
      Technically if you have a higher DA site but poor content, you will be kicked out of the top 10 SERPS result.
      Since you have a new website you should focus on long tail keywords...
