Just a thought: In this exciting new chapter, remember the joy and inspiration you bring to your family and your audience. Keep shining and spreading that positive energy. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Thanks so much for the kind words and stay tuned for more.
"Triple the joy! Congrats on baby #3! 🎉"
Loved ❤ how you practically did all the changes and documented the journey. No big promise or bluff, just geat delivery and transparency. Keep coming up with such content 👍.
Hehe, thanks so much. Appreciate the feedback.
Everything is clear. Brief and clear. No water. Thank you)
hey Joshua, just wanted to say thanks so much for putting together this helpful video walking through your beginner SEO technique!
Learned a alot 🙌 specifically:
1. How to research keyword opportunities with Featured Snippets on Ahrefs
2. Tips for formatting content to match top-ranking snippets
3. Techniques like tightening language, using inverted pyramid structure, and improving overall page SEO
Man, I seriously needed this walkthrough for optimizing blog posts. Gonna put this to work for my site ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad you found the video helpful Dennis! It's great to hear that you learned a lot from it. All the best with optimizing your blog posts.
Can you keep us posted how the optimization impacts your blogs? Thanks so much!
Great advice, great transparency. I think the coolest thing I learned (and that you make clear and what I think many strategists don't make clear) is that SEO involves a lot of testing, retesting and monitoring and that nobody really has 100% knowledge of exactly what works.
Well said!
love this type of series, I'm contemplating diving into SEO for myself and seeing you work through issues is a HUGE help. Keep it up!
Great to hear!
Thanks for the video Joshua and congrats on the new baby! 2 out of 4 top featured snippets is not bad at all (3 technically)! Life wisdom: Don't neglect self-care now that you have a a new baby. It is natural to want to give your all to your baby and that is great obviously. Just make sure to also take care of yourself physically and emotionally. It will benefit you and also enhance your ability to care for your new baby and family. Don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it and make sure to prioritize some time for things that make you happy and help you to relax. Also, make sure to eat healthier instead of less healthy for convenience. That's all I got! Hope it helps! Thanks again!
Thank you kindly Don.
Hello Joshua, I wanted to express my gratitude for creating such an informative video that guides beginners through SEO techniques. I truly appreciated the practical approach you took, implementing changes and documenting the entire journey. Your delivery was excellent, with a genuine transparency that sets your content apart. Looking forward to more valuable content from you!👍
Thank you so much Stephanie. Glad it was helpful.
I'm a big fan of inverted pyramid. Not just for grabbing featured snippets but for ranking generally. The broad content at the end of the article is good background for people who read that far, and helps the page cover all bases. While the narrow content at the top of the page is what most visitors want to read right away and google rewards you for that.
Great to hear your thoughts on it.
Congrats on Baby Eden, and also for getting 3 out of 4 #1s (within a couple of weeks)! Especially, considering that you made it tougher on yourself by skipping the holy grail. That's what I learned, to identify which pages to prioritize by whittling down the existing listings. Thanks for the in-depth info. I get better at SEO every week by consuming and applying the amazing content provided by the Digital Darts crew. You guys are the real deal, and I find myself telling someone about you folks at least just as often. Way to go!
Great to hear what you learned, and thank you so much for the kind words Vince.
Awesome work with the SEO challenge and congrats on the little one! Your journey is really motivating and shows how a mix of patience and smart strategies can work wonders. Keep it up! Can't wait to see more. 😊🌟
Thanks so much!!
He cleared his browser history and now he thinks he's delisted.
Explain please
@@bikonkumardas He never ranked.
Wait he didn't search in incognito mode?
@@extradollarfortomorrow Doesn't matter,, incognito is still based on your search history. That's been proven and Google has been sued and lost $5 billion. Read the news.
@@extradollarfortomorrowthank you. I've never done this stuff and didn't even think to search incognito. This was helpfull. I actually rank higher in some cases, depending what I search, in incognito mode than I did not. So I'd then imagine being incognito would be a truer result?
Just getting started with a niche site and your videos have been really helpful. Good luck ranking #1, I’m rooting for you! 🙂
You can do it!
Congrats on the little one!
Seriously needed this walkthrough for optimizing blog posts.thanks man KEEP GOING
Thank you.
Thanks for this Joshua! Really happy that such content actually exists, love from Malaysia 🙏
I learned how important the basics truly are when ranking for SEO. Just like in life, the basics such as having good rest, doing the right thing, and thinking before you act! Thank you again for this video.
🙌Thanks for sharing those lessons.
@@DigitalDarts The pleasure is mine! Thank you
Great video! And congrats one number 3!🎉 As a dad of 3 myself, take more pics! 7 years after having our 3rd, we’ve realized that our 1st child has the majority of pics around the house. Number 3 is now asking us why they’re only in like 1 or 2 pics 😂
Haha, the first must have more novelty 😂
You putting this up for free is actually clutch - praise to you
Welcome.
Thanks so much, i learned about how to look at a target snippet in a simple SEO way, rather than a seo saying "optimize for the snippet" which is not clear. But your logical way of looking at structure was something that i have never seen broken down before. Thanks for the lesson, subscribed!
Glad it was helpful Candice.
I relish the challenge! This video has imparted more valuable insights into SEO than those with thousands of viewers. Kudos on the excellent work; please keep it up!
Glad it was helpful!
Really clever explanation and no unnecessary verbiage! Respect! + subscription
i followed matt dignity and watched the image seo video.. here i learned to rank leverage using featured snippets.. and really loved your energy and baby..
Great to hear.
No Dignity
We all need some dignity in our lives
Crisp, smart way of explaining, necessary and sufficient information. That was helpful. Thank you.
I'm a digital marketer working on SEO for my client, my client sent me this video link, she trusts you ❤🎉 Now i do too, keep the good work up.
Glad it was helpful, thanks! 🎉🎉
I just implemented this for a client who have a car wash business. Learning more about SEO day, never heard of this before.
Great to hear.
Hey, nice tips. Also interesting to see how dynamic the search results are. A lesson not to rest when you are on top!
I'm just getting started with a blog and tips like this are super helpful (even if I don't rank much at all yet!).
I've subscribed for more 👍🏻 (so keep up the good work 😂)
Excellent. Thanks for sharing your lesson and all the best with your blog.
snippets have separate ranking system, good point
Yes!
I'd been wondering how to increase likelihood of getting the featured snippets, this is really useful info, thanks. And congrats on the 3rd baba
Glad it was helpful! And thank you Dan.
Still very impressive to get 2 featured snippets, and then 3 after a little more time. If you're able to do this 50-75% of the time across a site with lots of potential snippets you'll be raking in the traffic and money in no time.
Indeed. Thanks for commenting.
Another great vid, and a VERY handy SEO tip in this one. Awesome to see your channel taking off now too, great stuff!
More to come!
Thanks for sharing your insightful technique and congratulations on the new bub! Exciting journey ahead for you. Looking forward to more great content.
Thanks so much!
Loved the inverted pyramid..need to work on this. I was able to get featured snippets but need to be more methodical...thanks for th he tips
Glad it was helpful!
I learned that the audio is the most important thing for TH-cam videos. 😊
Yep. We learnt that to move the mic closer.
Keep doing this type of video, it helps a lot about learning SEO.
Thanks, will do!
So glad I found your channel. Just got into learning about SEO for my business and I’m excited to be implementing what you teach!
You got this ⭐
Thank you,
The wisest man has something yet to learn.
Indeed.
I'm learning all I can to deliver results for my copywriting clients. Man, this strategy is legit fire. Thank you, thank you and thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Appreciate the non-fluff straightforward approach. Was a great review for me. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Just getting into SEO at a small level with my current business, this definitely helped bring into context how in-depth you can get with it. Very informative video!
Yes like any field the rabbit holes go deep. We constantly reference the 80/20 rule to maximize learning and teaching efficiency 😀
This is awesome! I'm excited to test it along with you. Best of luck with the 3rd little one. 👍 Advice from a 20 year teacher (me): read with them EVERY day for at least 30 minutes.
Thank you, great tip!
Thank you so much for this! I’m a beginner and trying hard to learn quickly. Looking forward to check out your previous videos! Congratulations on your newest little one!
Fantastic. And thank you Elizabeth.
I learned that featured snippets have a preferred position after the H2 tag instead of right before like I was doing.
New to article SEO so if I win all of this will be immediately reinvested to my site 🤣
Thanks for sharing your lesson.
Thank you for sharing such helpful content, and I look forward to implementing your strategies for optimizing my blog posts. Keep up the fantastic work, and best of luck in ranking #1!
No worries. All the best for you to.
Thanks for the video - its good to be reminded that ‘if at first you dont succeed try and try again’
Thanks David, keep trying :P
Just discovered your channel - I learned so much, this video is incredible! 🎉 Congratulations on the baby, our favorite parenting hack is a sound machine with white noise!
Great to hear. Thanks for the white noise tip too Ben, that's a big one in our family.
I hope you are a nice father to your new child. I congratulate you on his arrival.... Thank you for the detailed explanation. I am still a beginner in SEO and I need to repeat the video more than once, but it seems to me that you are a professional person. Thank you for providing high value in a free video.
Thank you so much and all the best with your learning!
Absolutely informing and enjoyable video ... more importantly, I must say that it is my impression that your child is very fortunate to have You as a father !!!
Thank you so much.
Not sure how I ended up here but I’m so glad the algorithm intervened…. I’ve been researching all kinds of solutions for increasing my self-employed income and this video helped me to realize the potential of learning SEO so that I can add value to the client work I currently have and hopefully increase monthly revenue that way. 😊
Fantastic to hear your thought process about value. All the best with your journey.
Honestly just started with blogging and was searching for tips with SEO after all those long tutorials your video helped me put it all together in my head so thank you very much .
Glad I could help.
Thanks Joshua, I love the way you teach and your complete honesty that goes with it! Kym :)
I appreciate that, thanks Kym.
Every time you say pantina, I think Pantera. Thanks, man. I will need this in 2024. I subscribed, too, looking forward to more.
Hehe. Welcome.
Awesome! Next challenge is to rank number 1 against a big company (not in a week but... )
Oof. Yeah a week would be a tall order.
Life wisdom from another professional parent - nap/sleep when they nap/sleep. The little sleeps/naps do add up. Great video btw!
Great tip, thanks.
Hey Joshua, thanks for the practical approach to a beginner techniques to SEO! This really helps and I really appreciate you
My pleasure, glad to hear.
Perfect, I've heard about some recommendation to keep in mind when I took a coding bootcamp, but seeing you do some work that comes fruitful is totally new to me, now I'm thinking of how to have the same result in a SPA, thank you! and good luck to everybody!
Thanks for commenting.
@@DigitalDarts Hope I win, so I can save myself from a life or death situation that I'm in. 🙏
As a user I definitely often click on the featured snippet links a lot for more detail!
Yes it's a useful preview as a user isn't it
Thanks for the inspiration, and long live the new family member. Don't worry about the first place. The Google search engine is starting to work a bit slowly on the indexing issue.
Cheers.
I Learned the Power of Featured Snippets! Especially for Organic Growth through SEO! Subscribed!
Great takeaway.
It's a deal! New sub, 'show me the money!" Good luck man and congrats on the new little one, Dad! Looks like most have an h2. I'll have to rewatch and take notes! Thanks.
Thanks for subbing Tom Cruise
Actually great advice going to make sure I optimise for this from now on, it’s always in the back of my mind but never a conscious effort to rank for it.
Happy to help.
Love the challenge! I've learned more about SEO in this video than others with thousands of viewers. Keep up the good work
Awesome!
This was gold - I learnt so much and it was great having the info broken down. Aussies represent!!
Glad you learnt heaps.
I hadn’t thought about changing the Heading tags above the targeted snippet, thanks! Good luck with the new baby😊
Cheers Mark.
Straight and direct to the point. One of the best SEO videos i have seen. I learned a lot. Thank you!
Much appreciated. Very nice encouraging.
thanks for this. going to add this to my articles as well. who knows in time and practice i will regularly create good articles that drive traffic. 😃
Glad it was helpful and all the best with those articles.
Thanks for these videos! I didn't know featured snippets ranked separately!
No worries 👍
Just here to say I love how you say H 😂 thanks for the wisdom!
You’re welcome 😊
that was an epic video! Learned that its quite easy to rank for the snippets if you can find the golden formula (which can be learned from the people who are already ranking up there)
Great thanks for sharing the lesson.
Time is your most precious asset. Thank you for sharing yours in order to bring us SEO wisdom. As an older man with no children, I'd like to compliment you on being a successful Human. Enjoy your children!
That's kind of you. Thank you. I bet you have more hair than me.
Clear and understandable, I wish there was more information like this.
Great. Any topic you would like more of?
Came across this video which is my first video of yours and immediately subscribed. You have some solid content in your channel. Also kudoos to the editor for doing a good job. You will reach 10k subs in no time. Going to apply them to my own sites as well.
Thanks for the encouragement. This is the first one to gain traction. Hired my brother full time to work on the channel and our upcoming Shopify growth course.
This stuff is gold! The second aussie gold rush begins... optimization for featured snippets ... 24 carat SEO gold boyo. Love your work. Now go and get some sleep!
Thanks 👏
Where was he looking for the organic words after he mentioned using the free google search? I couldn’t understand what he said. Help!
Ahrefs site explorer
I learned the word 'patina'. Learned by looking up the word that the Icelandic Prime Minister's home does not have any guards nor patina ceiling moldings. Then was suggested by TH-cam to watch an all-female Korean pop group recorded an epic hype song for Riot Games World 2023 Championship Games ceremonial opening titled 'Gods'. I will forever know what the word 'patina' means.
Hah, that's a random assortment of facts. Riot Games makes some epic hype songs.
Although you “failed” the challenge you still got top results which is a huge win in my book! And for any client you might have, for that matter. I say it’s a success
Cheers. Fail forwards ;)
Thanks this video helps you wrap your head around what your actually trying to do and how it works! Fantastic stuff!
Glad it helped!
Your are the great teacher! Thank you for inspiration on SEO rankings. You have a wonderful new member of family!
Thank you kindly.

Try till you succeed👍🏻 Winners in Seo put in the hard work. Great video with really valuable info!

Best of luck with the new baby. Really appreciate this content, especially the ethos of try and try again. Look forward to your next topics!
Thanks so much!
Great tutorial. I was hoping you would talk about featured snippets! I’m trying to get the spot for a few keywords. Lots of great info in this video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful.
Looks like you hit the TH-cam algo with this one. 🎉🎉
🎉🎉
Thanks for making such informational video❤. Tons of knowledge in a single upload. I'm a beginner struggling to get to the right mentor and here you are to the rescue 😢
Awesome! Everyone's time is valuable, so we gotta jam lots of info for the sake of efficiency :D
Nice work, man! Thanks for sharing! And congrats on the new little buddy. :)
You are welcome and thanks 👍
This is one of the best time-saving videos for improving SEO! I'm excited to explore the channel.
Thanks Boris, it's a gem hey.
congratulations on the new baby! Love the information too. The video is worth a re watch to make sure I didn't miss something.
Thanks Robert.
Thanks for sharing. I agree and one comment to watch out, a competitor copied my text exactly and took the featured snippet. Thanks for sharing better practices here.
No worries. 👍
Thanks for this video, im just starting to learn to actually optimize the blog posts i already have rather than focusing only on producing new content. This is seriously helpful because i can actually go do this myself lol.
Also, God bless you and your family, Elen is beautiful, congrats!
Thanks mate. I hope you're able to get good results by optimising the blogs.
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. Everything is very clear. Like for the explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
This was great! I didn’t realize that ft snippet was a different ranking factor than just being the best article. Great stuff! New sub here 👍
Cheers Calan.
Great work! Definitely didn't know the Ahref thing, thanks for that.
Happy to help!
Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to try this out. Best of luck going forward and congrats on the baby!
Thank you Wayne. And let us know your results please 👍
I finally found a teacher who delivers what he promises, thank you, my website will now go up
Thank you Ricardo
That was a great way to use a beginner SEO technique
Definitely
I dabble in SEO constantly but was unaware of snippets' power for voice responses. With AI assistants like Alexa and Siri, voice search is booming, I see how crucial snippets are to my launching of Wood Shoppe 2.0 and success on TH-cam and beyond. My goal is to make and sell wood creations from reusable materials. Generating test product images with AI is proving successful.
My biggest hurdle? Ahrefs' advanced features, like the one you use to identify vulnerable snippets, are locked behind Sam O's paywall.
If I won one of the prizes, I'd offer to let you keep half as payment to generate snippet potentials based on my topical authority mapping for Wood Shoppe 2.0 and the rest to pump back into budding the business.
Besides, 24 years ago I became the father of twins. I totally empathize with you. --All the best, Donald J. Claxton -- The Timberlander
Twin life is next level. Ahrefs may not be worth it for you now, but as you learn and grow, it's incredible.
I searched “no website google ads” stayed for the education though. Excellent video.
Glad you liked it!
Not to be toxic. I would work on your audio. Put the mic closer to your mouth. And use noise canceling in post. What editing software are you using.
Thanks, we are aware of the issue and will fix it for next vid.
