Ep 290: How to Start SEO Without Getting Poisoned


Listen Later

How does it feel like doing SEO for years knowing every Google algorithm updates and intricacies of SEO? For those who are just starting SEO, digital marketing may seem overwhelming. What's your advice for those who are just starting to learn today?

How does it feel like? It feels like you're a pro basketball player. I mean, when you play basketball, you just know when people are in certain places in the court and you can make passes that seem miraculous and you can make shots that seem miraculous, but it's just that you play the game for so many times that your brain is hardwired to do things automatically. You're hard wired to just play the game really well.

It's a lot like that, you know? They call it court sense in basketball. You have the sense of the court who's where, and at what time, who's running, and at what time. It's like court sense because you played so well so many times in such a long span of time, you get better at it because your brain is just subliminally doing a lot of stuff.

That's how it feels like with SEO. I've been doing it for over a decade. I feel like I understand Google on a very deep level that I can't extrapolate in words. I just know what's happening when I check a site. I just know what's wrong with it and how I can improve it. That's how it works with me now that I feel like a lot of SEO people who are like me practicing it for a very long time and doing it ethically would say the same.

What's my advice to those who were just starting?

Keep going. I mean, SEO is a discipline. It's all about consistency and discipline. There is no magic to it. There's no tactic that could take you from nowhere in the top 100 to the first page of Google. It’s nothing like that. There is no tactic. It's all discipline and hard work.

If there was a magic pill, it's probably poisonous because it's an unethical practice and you can get penalized for that. So just keep reading, keep experimenting, be consistent with your write-ups, be consistent with the fundamentals, always keep learning, be on the cutting edge, because Google keeps changing and you have to learn with it. You have to change with it and adapt. So yeah, that's going to be my advice for you.
