Is there a work around? I'm trying to fix the "serve images in next-gen formats" and "properly size images" error in pagespeed to ultimately stop LCP from going over 2.5s.
That's a tricky one. I don't think it's incentivizing the user, but mentioning "pricing" even when you don't display prices could make you come under fire of whatever algorithm they're using to flag you for manual review, and you might fail the manual review. I wouldn't do any of these schemes, because if they become problems it'll be a big headache for you later. Just fly straight and narrow.
You'll have to accept a hit no matter what type of ad network you use. Some like Adsense will load asynchronously except some render blocking scripts that run early and sometimes fail some cumulative layout shifting. Other networks will lazy load and handle cumulative layout shift. Where they all suck is the on-going HTTP resources pouring in, pushing back your onload times and other stuff these tools may measure.
Well received. I'll try excluding ads from the About page and optimize the speed.
Yeah, this is a non-issue. But if you wanted, if the pages will be static, you can just type a unique description for the post on each page so there'd be no worries. But I think there's no worries regardless, even with the same description snippet and the same outbound link across all the categories. That's what they're for and Google knows posts can fall in multiple categories. Zero problem. I've done it my entire career. The one time I tried not to just added extra complication.
I think Bing is way more "obvious and basic on-page" with "more links is better", versus Google who's digging into deeper on-page and link metrics and all that stuff. Bing seems to care less about age and more about link validation (especially with indexing), and to be fair Google seems to be heading in that direction too. Everyone ranks on Bing before Google, simply because it's less complex and more easily exploitable. It doesn't mean you have a problem so much as you're just not satisfying Google yet.
It could be that the keywords are more competitive. It could be that Google "honeymoon'd" those posts and didn't like the results on them while it did like the others. I see this happening much any more to be honest, it's usually more predictive now than actual honeymood periods.
Every single person I've seen try this has failed. Of the many reasons, the main one is that your userbase arrives at your site for specific reasons in specific states of mind, and that's likely not to be shopping or you'd already be a shop.
Most profile links are nofollow, and even the ones that aren't (like Pinterest wasn't back in the day, it might be nofollow now, I'm not sure), if they're good Google knows to ignore them. They've addressed this, specifically about Pinterest which is why I used them as an example.
For a guest post I typically look for DR (ahrefs domain rating), site organic traffic, referring domains, and TF (majestic trust flow). For a link insertion I would also consider UR (ahrefs url rating) of the specific page the link will go on and also backlinks to that page.
There are different types of schema offered to you there. If you use the wrong ones you can get a Schema Penalty. And good luck doing this for every page of a reasonably sized website.
Hey if I have a jobs/career page on my website saying we would like to for these 3 positions. I have rankmath btw. Should I change that page's schema to job listing or just have it default to an article I think.
You could always meet people on Upwork before hand, or OnlineJobs.ph and all those. If you hire and work with some first, when you arrive you could offer to take them for a meal / meeting, and ask them if they have friends and family that they would trust to do the kind of work they do, because you want to grow your team and would love to meet everyone in person once, etc. Seems possible. Of course you could get there and advertise in any other way too (flyers, etc.) and let them come to your office. I feel like going from online to offline might weird people out. Many of us older people were trained that that's a barrier that shouldn't be crossed for safety reasons, in the early days of the net.
Based on what I recall from past conversations, your sites probably don't have the link metrics (Ahrefs DR, Moz DA, etc.) to be attractive or warrant the expense. Something to consider. You might be able to whore them out to casino link buyers, who tend to take anything they can get. Just know that once you sell on them, there's no cutting and running or ignoring the sites and letting them expire, etc. You'll have an obligation at that point to maintain them, lest you piss off the wrong person in the seedier niches.
