After thousands of hours on TH-cam and totorials I must say that I've never seen anyone explaining thinks better. You have a talent in teaching people and we are lucky that your subject is SEO. Thanks a lot mate. Very hood job!
SAM HO , you are my mentor in SEO . I have not seen such professional and best informative videos any other can create except you . Thanks for your efforts.
Ahref...I love it. We are local seo company in Melbourne Australia and we use Ahref for our all needs. It gives you all stuff under one roof. For example keyword research, on page seo, off page seo...everything.... great stuff guys...
Great video Sam. The only thing I would add is perhaps a bit of info in the "on page seo" section about schema and how it can be used to enhance your results in the SERPs.
This video comes at the right time! More than just a checklist, it also serves as a very systematic workflow to implement. Can't thank you enough, Sam! You really are a true master of SEO! You make boring, complicated-looking SEO so fun to handle! Looking forward to your next videos!
Another EXCELLENT vid, Sam! Thank you. 🙏 I really appreciate that you acknowledge that your keyword difficulty metrics are “rough estimates”. And... Nice nod to Eric Ward. Sometimes we spend so much time looking ahead that we forget what we can learn from those that came before us.
I'm a little confused about why "if you are selling a SEO checklist product" you wouldn't rank. The other results are high ranking so why wouldn't this product rank? Thanks for helping me to understand this.
Hi Sam Oh, You delivered the tecchnic with plesure step by step, the processes of more organic traffic generating, I spend more time,in study. I also feel plesure. Thanks a lots . Mostofa.
Hi Michael. Thank you for all your videos. I have a question for you: As we open Google Search nowadays we have almost just "Ads" on the first page. Before were just 3 now is just a lot. I started thinking that Google is boring and not reliable, as it shows who pays. How can we talk about organic search this days? I felt like if I have to put a lot of work for nothing. Anyways I'll have to work for "Google" creating content, researching keywords and paying them for showing what I wanna tell / or sell to the world.
Hey Sam! Loved your video as always. I have a question though. Will sub folder level URL will be better or a naked URL for a website with 5 categories. Thanks
Hey, Max is here! I would say "it depends". It makes sense to have categories subfolder to have some sort of URL structure for the website. But still, having a custom link for each category might give a better understanding of the page's content and increase click rate in some cases.
If I wanted to make my own program that took the word data from Adsense and applied it to my SiteMap, how would I do that? And where’s a tutorial that can teach me how to do that on my own? Basically, how can I make my own YOACH?
Hello! I would like to ask you something, do you know if there is a positive correlation between the sites that have the comments enabled with the positioning? Thanks
@@AhrefsCom Could having articles with comments at the bottom of each article be an SEO factor? I was interested to know if there is a correlation between SERP position and the presence of comments on each article.
You compare two different metrics, like miles and kilometers. What is UR for both cases? What types of backlinks are these? How many other sites linked out from these backlinks? How strong is backlink profile of page/website of each backlink? As I said, it is hard to provide any estimates here. Sorry =\ - Max
thank you for the information, however I had to slow the video speed down to .75 because of the camera shots flashing in and out. It was too fast to read or write the snippet down. Great content though, thank you.
Hi Sam if one of my competitor's rank for multiple keywords for a page (one URL) let's say 100 keywords should i cover theme separately for evey keyword a write an article or it's okay to cover multiple keywords in one piece of content because I think those keywords are LSI keywords what do you think 🤔
ebinom That just relates to the noindex directive. To stop a search engine from indexing a URL you can add a Noindex in robots meta tags or stop it from crawling a specified area by using a disallow in the robots.txt file. Hope this helps :)
Why you have printed tshirt on your tshirt instead of printing Ahrefs? Are you targeting tshirt word for any of your projects or this is the name of your other tool? Curious to know the reason.
I wanted create a affiliate site based on business and digital marketting niche. As a beginner can i take this niche. I know this niche very competitive.
Excuse me; I have seen many of your videos. One teaches us how to submit a WordPress sitemap to google, but I forget which one. Could you give me the link again? Thanks very much

hi Same, I have a blogging site with 14k traffic but CTR and earnings are too low (avg $8), plz guide me on what to do? waiting for your reply.
Hello Sir, I have a Question
Which Website Rank in google top results if
1.High Da 70+
2.Backlinks 1k +
I would not predict chances to rank just looking at DR or number of backlinks. There are lots of things to consider🤷♂️
- Max
If both 1 & 2 meet all factors of Google then which one rank, as per your openion.
You compare two different metrics, like miles and kilometers. What is UR for both cases? What types of backlinks are these? How many other sites linked out from these backlinks? How strong is backlink profile of page/website of each backlink?
