sneaky link building method exposed, PAA drops, Index data vs. Traffic & Clicks in URLinspector

Hi {NAME} Here's three updates I hope you find interesting. 1. Index data vs. Traffic & Clicks in URLinspector Quick reminder: URLinspector helps you check URL indexing - automatically, - ongoing, - every day. We've improved URLinspector a lot in the last month, and it's [still all F.R.E.E. to try for you in Beta]( [URLinspector]( can now combine the Inspection and Indexing data with data for Impressions, Clicks, and CTR for each URL directly from Google Search Console data for you. You can now find - URLs that have traffic, but no clicks. - URLs that have traffic but indexing problems, or were recently de-indexed (!) - URLs that have traffic but a much poorer CTR. - URLs with very low impressions - URLs with Impressions but Zero clicks - and lots more You can use the powerful filter table or clickable charts to go from the detail (Bottom) up to overview (Top) or vice versa. It's all original genuine data from Google Search Console. It cannot get more precise than getting Google's opinion on your website, at scale. Here's an example for you {NAME} We're using Cluster for Impression and Clicks. So 1/ Impression Cluster 10 is one of the 3 most important clusters 2/ it only has a few URLs in there (7) 3/ Of those URLs the spread in clicks varies between Cluster ID 2 and Cluster ID 5 (which contributes a LOT more). Clearly there's something to win if you look at the other URLs and work on the CTR there. Here's a breakdown of the details in the table A spread from 1.19% down to 0.05% CTR on these high traffic pages is a call to action to to optimize your landing pages ASAP! Do they have - a compelling page title? - a compelling meta description and SERP snippet? - a matching response to the queries going to this URL? Yes, the number 3 question may seem hard to answer - but we have the next product update for you ready, soon - where we'll show you the queries going to this URL as well with 1 click. Stay tuned. Setup is easy for you - for any Site or even Root Domain - [just login with your Google Search Console account here]( - we use the Sitemap in your Google Search Console - we use and combine multiple GSC Properties to go beyond the 2000 URL limit/day - you can add custom Sitemap URLs - you can add custom URLs for Inspection, too URLinspector runs on large sites - URLinspector is already processing sites with [dozens of millions of URLs]( - It works well for smaller sites, but optimizing for very large sites is an important focus, as it's close to impossible to get URLinspection data for such sites manually or with desktop tools (without going nuts). - Error handling, exponential back-offs and retries - you name it, all built in. We constantly find new issues with the Google APIs, try to get feedback of odd patterns from Google and in general find it very exciting to get such original data points for SEOs now. No cost, yet, but it's beta - URLinspector runs on a pretty large cluster and can take ten-thousands more sites. - You can use it at no cost for now, as we're still in beta and heavily adding functionality. - You can add as many sites as you wish. Your feedback We want to make the product better and build really useful functionality for you. Please let us know your ideas and questions.

Sneaky "Creative" Link Building Method exposed Here's a fascinating analysis about a sneaky "creative" link building method for governmental links that helped the website a lot. It was also rewarded by Google in *two* core updates. It was revealed by the italian SEOs doing the link research here. [Certainly worth a read.]( Enjoy & Learn. 3. People Also Asked dropped dramatically According to a fairly new post it seems Google has cut down on the "People Also Asked" (PAA) results. PAA data can be be used to extract typical questions people ask for a topic. You can use it for "ideation for your marketing team" or to feed AI Content tools and libraries like GPT-3 to generate the responses automatically - which is fun and quite decent automated content generation, if done right. [As could be expected, Google seems to be reducing this feature providing valuable keyword data.]( However, a lot of the questions were duplicate, wrong grammar, out of context or or simply nonsense. I'll spend more time investigating the quality of the updated PAA soon. Are you using PAA and/or AI Content for your own marketing? What do you think? Are you curious how well your own website is indexed? [Here you go.]( Are you curious which of your pages bring in traffic, but no clicks?  [Here you go.]( Please let me know if you have questions and I'd be happy to help. Christoph C.
