This SEO Blog Post Was Written by ChatGPT

Posted on December 8, 2022 Written by Bill Hartzer

blog post written by chatgpt

This blog post about search engine optimization and ranking in the top search engine results pages at Google was written by ChatGPT. Given the recent launch of ChatGPT, I thought I’d take a look at the quality of the content that it writes.

Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing a website in order to improve its ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). This is done through a combination of on-page and off-page factors, such as keyword research, link building, and content optimization. By improving the visibility of a website on SERPs, businesses can increase their organic traffic and drive more qualified leads to their website. [Read more…]

Why You Shouldn’t Hire SEOs Based on An Email

Posted on September 13, 2022 Written by Bill Hartzer

unsolicited email for seo services

There is a reason why you generally should not hire anyone representing themselves as an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) professional if they send you an unsolicited email. In other words, if they send you an email saying that they can improve your search engine rankings of your website, mark it as spam and then delete it. There are, of course, exceptions to this. For example, if you’ve personally met the person sending the email to you or if you’ve spoken with them in the past or visited their website previously then it might be okay. But in any case, you need evaluate everything that they’re telling you, what services they will provide, and understand everything that they’re going to do. If you do not understand any of it, ask them to explain it to you. [Read more…]

Podcast: Disavow and Disavowing Links

Posted on December 16, 2021 Written by Bill Hartzer

Disavowing Links, Disavow File Process with Bill Hartzer

In this episode of the Digital Marketing with Bill Hartzer podcast, I talked about Disavow and Disavowing links to your website. I believe disavow is still a valid practice–and should be done. However, it’s a small part of the reviewing of all the links to your website, which is a part of regular website maintenance for SEO purposes. I go into this a bit further in the podcast. I also show you my unique process for using a combination of data from Google Search Console, ahrefs, and Majestic to review all the links after crawling them with Screaming Frog’s SEO Spider tool.

Link Building RSS Feed Reclamation Technique

Posted on July 1, 2021 Written by Bill Hartzer

Recently, I discovered a technique for reclaiming RSS feeds for link building purposes. Many RSS feed usernames on Feedburner, for example, are available to be claimed. Claiming an old username and attaching it to the RSS feed, there’s a good likelihood of you being able to take advantage of links pointing to the feeds. Some RSS Feeds also have traffic and clicks associated with them, which is a bonus. I have been testing this on a few websites, and it seems to be a promising new SEO technique for those who are looking for something new and who understand the risks. [Read more…]

Google’s Tips for Hiring an SEO Specialist

Posted on March 5, 2020 Written by Bill Hartzer


By Bill Hartzer, March 5, 2020 at 9:33am CST.

Google Webmasters produced a video about hiring an SEO specialist. In the video, they give some good tips about what you should look for when hiring an SEO. For example, they suggest that you shouldn’t hire an SEO that give you bad advice or recommends bad shortcuts, and SEOs that violate Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. That’s all great. But in the video, they seem to suggest that companies looking to hire an SEO should ask them to provide a technical audit of the website. Even before they’re hired. Should an SEO provide a technical audit, for free, to a website even before they’re hired? Absolutely not. Here’s why. [Read more…]

Canonical Tag Negative SEO Still a Problem with Google

Posted on April 5, 2019 Written by Bill Hartzer

canonical tag negative SEO

A while back I uncovered a new type of undetectable negative SEO, which involved the canonical tag. Search Engine Journal covered it in a post here. I thought that as a result of bringing it out in the open that Google would somehow fix the problem. However, based on a conversation I had today with a victim of canonical tag negative SEO, it appears that recent changes that Google’s made may have further exacerbated the problem. [Read more…]

Wix Promotes SEO in Super Bowl LIII Ad, But Fails with Karlie Kloss Website

Posted on February 4, 2019 Written by Bill Hartzer

Karlie Kloss Website HTML code

Wix.com recently spent a lot of money on a Super Bowl ad during Super Bowl LIII to promote how easy it is to use Wix to create a website. While I appreciate them mentioning SEO and getting good search results, the way it’s being promoted is deceiving. Furthermore, the showcase website in the ad is a horrible example of an optimized website. [Read more…]

Is It Time for an SEO Code of Ethics?

Posted on December 11, 2018 Written by Bill Hartzer

time for SEO ethics

The search marketing industry, providing search engine ranking or search engine marketing or digital marketing type services to website owners, is, give or take a year or two, about 20 years old now. It has certainly changed over the years, and in my experience as an SEO since the 1990s, I’ve seen all the changes. SEO ethics is an issue SEOs have wrestled with over the years. It’s still time for an SEO code of ethics. But we certainly don’t need the SEO Police. [Read more…]

Tech SEO: Conflicting Signals Can Cause Issues

Posted on October 26, 2018 Written by Bill Hartzer

technical SEO - conflicting signals

One of the jobs of a technical SEO or tech SEO is to dig into a site’s code and find issues that are causing ranking or other types of search engine related issues. A good technical SEO understands code and SEO enough that they can help diagnose most search engine ranking issues that are self-inflicted. Some issues are related to search engine rankings but there are issues that are unrelated to search engine rankings. For example, typically date issues aren’t related to actual search engine rankings–it’s just how your blog post, for example, shows up in the search engine result pages (SERPs). [Read more…]
