Are the posts with the keyword in their H2 on authoritative websites and do they answer the query effectively? Also, are there links pointed to the page(s)? Sometimes, it doesn't matter if the keyword isn't in the title tag or H1. If the query is answered effectively and there is authority and links involved, it's probably not worth going after on a new website.
I would put them in a /news/ category and separate it from evergreen content. This is useful to you, your site, to users, and to Google. Google seeks to understand what each sub-folder of a site is about and ranks them appropriately. You even have a chance of appearing in Google News with a separate category. And if you ever want to remove the news section, you'll have a much easier time of it this way. I see zero benefit in scattering them about the site, honestly.
Sure, but you gain opportunities to interlink and push relevancy, gain traffic and links, etc. The benefit, if done right and diligently, outweighs the cost. News gets a lot of links, and if you can "break" it early enough, you can get reference links from bigger sites, too.
If you want to stay anonymous, you simply ignore those emails. Is there some reason you feel like you need to respond to them?
I'm assuming you're asking about a Content Management System (CMS) platform? It depends on your skill level with things other than SEO, but it's a very safe and simple bet to use Wordpress due to the thriving ecosystem. There's others like Drupal and Joomla. There are ones like Wix that will host the site for you and give you an easier time designing things if you want to customize the site. There's flat file CMS's that don't have databases. There's all manner of eCommerce ones, though Shopify may be the leader of the pack. So on and so forth. They can all be used by SEO's just fine as they are, assuming the skillset needed is there.
Yes, I think I feel rude to ignore those 'fans' who i.e. are subscribed to my email-list. Maybe I'm overthinking it and just need to get used to this.
Insurance is a hugh intergral of Finance. IF there wasn't insurance, banks would not lend money to anyone. Too much risk for them to offer low rates or lend Millions and 10's of Millions to institutions, private business, etc. ----I've never heard of SoMe....but i'll check into it...Thanks
Ok this confuses me.
Google analytics says that I have zero traffic last 5 days?
Is there a problem with GSC or GA, and if GA is right is it something with my content punishing me?
Any ideas?
Investigating an analytics issue on one of my sites right now, too.
I think @redsox was possibly talking about the page title, which is indeed a different thing from an h1 (which is used for the page heading).
Neither category structure ranks better. There are reasons to choose one or the other, but their impact on SEO isn't one of them.
Thank you for the detailed answer!
You can delete it safely without issue. It used to, and still may, require some kind of function or plugin solution to remove it on Wordpress. Yoast has the option, if you use that plugin.
I have something to say about wordpress. I am also learning to use wordpress, sort of again. I took a break of 4 years and entirely focus on my business which was entirely runing on FB & Skype. However, as I plan to expand it, I am feeling the need to have my own blog to attract organic traffic. In my opinion, with the omnipresence use of mobile browsing, the basic structure of wordpress websites have changed a lot since the time (say 7-8 years ago) when it was primarily a blogging tool. The earlier design of a header, content page and two/one sidebar has changed to a one single column with no sidebar type of pages with too much glittering around it. Most of the themes look like a brochure of a company with glossy images, hero pages and difficult-to-read gray fonts. Then the use of blocks for everything has also increased the learning curve of the wordpress and, if we don't have a basic knowledge of CSS (at least of things like padding/margin etc), it is difficult to come up with a good-looking site from a beginner's point of view. Taking help of wordpress themes and builders is also not much helpful unless we are contended with the copy-paste design they offer.
Have you tried generateblocks?
Yes. I did. Even they are limited and offer nothing as far as site's header is concerned.
