This week is a little bit of where to catch me this week on the SEO Video Show with Paul Andre - and then a little bit about the data from the latest google update - Product Reviews Update.

Then I go into more of the challenges of what is now - at least quarter-time SEO Testing. It's not as glamorous as it sounds!

I'm claiming my time back to work on my own goals and dreams. It feels good as you will no doubt get when you listen to this episode.

After correcting my pictorial data log - I can see the timeframe where Google ran their Product Reviews Update. And then I have a list of things that I'm working on and frankly so excited about that I wonder how I had time to do anything else.

There's SEO and then there is SEO strategy and most times we only talk about SEO. In this episode I share a little about my thoughts on how often I find part of my struggle is that I'm thinking strategy when I hear tactics. Definitely helped this week knowing that and being aware of how my mind works.

Then we dive into the continuing saga of how different sites that are designated as PRIMARY DESKTOP crawler agents get treated - or rather where I think the breakdown is in the indexation system. HINT: Crawling and Indexing are working fine. Its the OTHER one that seems to not be working properly.

Finally we're back to the meat of SEO - theories! LOL! In this episode I share the things that I've been seeing and hearing in the past week and postulate some ideas that might equally explain what we're seeing as other than an "UPDATE".

The sites that are designated as primary desktop crawler compiled data are uniquely curious and serve-resistant.

Let me know what you think.

Februarys are tough in Texas. For the THIRD year in a row we've had multi-day below freezing snow or ice. This is not for the faint of heart apparently. But this last week my part of Austin lost power for FOUR days (4!) and it got me to thinking - if it weren't for electricity our very industry wouldn't exist. The problem solving skills though might get us on those rescue boats if we needed to share our skills with humanity.

SO this week wasn't a vent as much as a poetic sonnet to server logs, the only logical leg of SEO! I'm preparing for next week's training on server logs as part of the Forensic SEO Training and well, I got started and by the end of it I was feeling pretty good.

Hope you enjoy the ride.

I did it again. This week's episode includes a confession. I did something in the indexation project. Plus I kind of went off on business owners who have no respect for the experience of professional SEOs. 

I use the word fantasy in here AND a use of the Golden Rule. Let's play fair people. I don't try to run your business, don't try to do my job either.

Wow. Out of the gate I think I started at rant level! Never know which end of the stick I'll grab when it comes to what I think about SEO.  This episode came out of one of the responses from the survey from someone who said they wanted more tactical SEO tips because they used one that I shared and it changed their entire SEO experience.

That's very flattering and while I will share more tactical aspects of SEO this season - I wanted to make sure that YOU know I don't want to contribute to what is already a crowded field with everyone clamoring for the same thing - the easy button.

Happy New Year - let's take on the world! LOL! OK I definitely went right up to that venting edge of the cliff and not to just stir things up I am working on a plan to at least put a small dent (a positive one) in the way of creating a body of work that connects the SEO with the businesses they wish to serve and the businesses who want to use SEO services of a company to know how to tell a good one.

This emerged from some of the responses in the Confessions survey - a brand new type of episode is being birthed. It takes me back to the original reason I started the podcast in the first place.

Its that time again for the Confessions of an SEO New Year's Edition! In this episode we start with thanking the sponsers and supporters of this podcast along with the person who got me started on this path initially. It's all her fault!

Then I share some of the items on my "What Do I Want To Do in 2023" in terms of testing and even gardening. What things are you wanting to do?

And then I came up with an idea based on the Survey suggestions on who might be a great interview for our SEO community. And there's plenty of space for YOU to participate.
