SEO Rockstars 2026: Day 3 - Chris Walker Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7fYFxq-JSM ============================================================ [00:04] All right. So, I'm just going to go [00:05] through it as quickly as I can because [00:07] that's kind of how I talk. I told I talk [00:08] too fast, but I'll do my best. Uh, first [00:10] place SEO, what actually worked and how [00:12] I beat dozens of top SEOs. But really, [00:14] it's about how to win by thinking [00:16] differently. Now, real quick, I got two [00:18] introductions, so I'm going to skip [00:19] through this fast. My name is Chris M. [00:20] Walker. And the reason that I use the M [00:22] in my middle name is because there's a [00:23] legendary SEO that I cannot out compete [00:25] for my name. That is 90s one hit wonder [00:28] Chris Walker. So, no matter what I do, [00:30] now I tell that joke every time I give [00:32] this presentation, but I actually [00:33] decided to message this guy and tell him [00:35] that I use his name every time and he [00:37] thought it was hilarious. So, actual [00:39] Chris Walker is very, very cool. This is [00:41] me. This is what I've done. Who cares? [00:43] Uh, thinking differently. The tactics [00:45] are are great and I have fun with some [00:47] of the ones I'm going to share. That's [00:48] really not the main point that I want to [00:50] make for you today. There are two things [00:51] that I want you to take away from this [00:53] presentation. The first and the most [00:55] important one is to think differently [00:57] and be creative. I know that's [00:58] technically two things, but it's like [00:59] one thing. Like, I'm a pretty good SEO, [01:02] but I'm not elite like a lot of the [01:04] people in this room or a lot of the [01:05] people that were competing in this [01:06] competition that I'm going to talk about [01:08] today. But what I am good at is figuring [01:10] out what needs to be done to get where [01:11] you need to go. I also don't like to not [01:14] get my way. So, when I decided to enter [01:17] this contest, I knew I'd have to do [01:19] things differently, but we we're going [01:21] to get to that real quick. Uh competing. [01:23] I'm also not a very competitive person. [01:25] I prefer to measure myself against [01:27] myself rather than against other people, [01:28] which is what you have to do when you [01:29] compete. But I do believe if you're [01:31] going to compete, you should do whatever [01:33] it takes to win. So when I do compete at [01:36] something, I go all out to win. Just ask [01:39] this guy. [01:41] Competing. At least somebody knew who [01:43] that was. So the second thing I want you [01:45] to take away from this is if you're [01:47] going to compete and whatever you're [01:48] doing in business or in life is somewhat [01:49] of a competition, win. So, what we're [01:53] going to talk about today is a contest [01:54] that I entered back in October. It ran [01:56] through November. It was in Adise SEO, [01:58] which is Jackie Child's community, if [02:00] you know who that is. Uh, this is kind [02:02] of the competition. This these were the [02:03] rules. I'll go through it real quick so [02:04] you understand. But they would choose a [02:07] target keyword and it was a nonsense [02:08] keyword that was a word that didn't [02:10] exist, which made me think about you uh [02:12] when you were talking about it earlier. [02:14] And the timeline was from October 15th [02:16] of last year till December 15th of last [02:19] year. It had to be a new domain. Like it [02:21] couldn't be an expired domain or site or [02:23] anything like that. Brand new, fresh [02:25] domain, newly registered. They chose the [02:27] keyword and the t the madeup keyword [02:29] that they chose was flamico. At least [02:32] that's how I think it's pronounced. It's [02:33] not a real word. So, and the site that I [02:35] used was flamico.io. [02:38] Uh because everybody gobbled up the good [02:40] tldds before I even got to it. And this [02:42] is the site. As you can see, it is [02:44] completely gibberish one-page website. [02:47] Well, structured onepage website with [02:48] the questions and stuff. Somebody [02:50] actually pointed that out to me. But [02:51] that's it. That's all I made on the [02:53] site. So, let's talk about what I did [02:55] differently. Remember I said I want you [02:56] to remember to think differently. That's [02:58] the real lesson that I want you to take [02:59] away from this. The site simple onepage [03:02] website, one image, one video. I created [03:04] the content in Claude. It was completely [03:06] made up gibberish. Uh, fun story about [03:08] that. I have a Claude project that is [03:10] designed to write content in my voice. [03:12] So it kind of sounds like me. And I [03:14] said, "I need you to make up a gibberish [03:15] website for a brand new term lumberico." [03:17] And Claude came back and was like, [03:20] "Chris Walker would never make up that [03:21] that kind of content. It's bullshit." [03:24] Was like, and I was like, "I'm Chris [03:26] Walker and I'm telling you to do it." [03:27] He's like, "No, I'm sorry. I can't." So [03:29] I had to go to a regular cloud chat to [03:31] get it to make that up. [03:34] And then I did some uh basic on page [03:36] SEO, just keywording H1, 1% keyword [03:39] density, old school [ __ ] Optimize. I [03:41] was gonna say is it all right if I swear [03:42] but then I remember Mike went for me [03:44] then I did optimize the image and video [03:46] for the term. So my theory was since [03:49] this is a brand new keyword that Google [03:50] doesn't understand yet or what it's [03:52] about or who who it should show it for [03:54] or show show it for my mission was to [03:56] build the association with that term to [03:58] my site as click quickly and as bluntly [04:01] as possible. So that gave me a chance to [04:03] think differently and be far more [04:05] aggressive than I would be normally. So, [04:08] for example, I did something really [04:09] really elegant with the metatitle and [04:11] metad description and I filled it with [04:14] nothing but the keyword over and over [04:15] and over again. [04:17] It's that it's funny. That's like one [04:19] one reason I did it is because it's [04:20] funny. The other one is again I was [04:21] trying to force Google to understand [04:23] that this [ __ ] keyword was related [04:25] to my site as opposed to all the other [04:27] people. So, I was trying to like hit it [04:28] with a hammer rather than whatever [04:31] people that don't do things aggressively [04:32] use. And so by hammering it with keyword [04:35] spam, I was able to overcompensate and [04:37] build that association between that [04:39] keyword and my site while everyone else [04:41] screwed around links and GMBBS and a [04:43] bunch of other necess unnecessary stuff [04:45] that you would do under normal [04:46] circumstances. So like I said, thinking [04:49] differently. I said I'm not the most [04:51] skilled SEO in this competition. There [04:52] was Jackie Child. There was Holly [04:54] Starks. A bunch of other people whose [04:55] names you would know. I can't think of [04:57] them at the moment, but you get the [04:58] point. They're they're much better at [04:59] SEO than I am. So I had to think about [05:01] what advantages I have over others so I [05:04] could get the W as the kids probably no [05:06] longer say. So I thought of three [05:08] advantages that I have. The first one is [05:10] I have a big Facebook following. [05:14] I have a medium-sized YouTube channel. [05:16] Nothing too special. And then I have [05:18] legit which I leveraged as well and [05:19] we'll talk about that. So the first [05:21] thing I did was Facebook. Went to [05:24] Facebook and I said do me this favor. Go [05:26] and Google this term. Look for my site [05:28] and no other site. read the entire page [05:31] and then come back here and comment once [05:33] you're done. That's it. So, what I was [05:35] doing was using referral traffic. I was [05:38] waiting for Mike's head to pop up then [05:40] uh and having them go from Facebook to [05:43] Google to my site back to Facebook. So, [05:45] it's kind of following that entire [05:46] journey of real real people searching [05:49] for it. So, I did that. The next thing I [05:51] did was I did a live stream uh where I [05:55] talked about the site and I sent an [05:56] email to the live stream to people told [05:59] them to come to the live stream and on [06:00] the live stream I told them to go to the [06:02] site. So that sent them from email to [06:05] YouTube to my site and back. So again [06:08] that's taking them on an entire journey [06:10] and showing that actual human beings are [06:12] interested in this site. [06:14] I also have the and some of you probably [06:16] hate this [ __ ] but I have the ability [06:18] to send an a message to everybody's [06:20] inbox on legit. So, [06:24] I sent about 300,000 of these to the [06:28] YouTube video. So, it went from legit to [06:29] the YouTube video to my site and back. [06:32] So, again, I leveraged assets that I had [06:34] that other people don't. Uh, I sent an [06:37] email to about a quarter of our list, [06:38] which is about 200,000 [06:41] and only got about 300 clicks, but still [06:44] email to the site and back. Uh, we have [06:48] a Slack group with about I don't know [06:50] 300 so people again I asked them to go [06:52] Google the site, read the whole thing [06:54] and then come back. So it's from Slack [06:56] to my site and back. So, I'm using human [06:59] beings to drive traffic to my site and [07:01] show Google that people actually give a [07:02] [ __ ] about the site as opposed to all [07:04] the other sites in the competition. So, [07:06] theory, referral traffic gets rankings [07:08] far faster than links. And normally, [07:11] it's temporary, but this was only a [07:13] two-month window. So, I could build this [07:15] up quickly and get to number one faster [07:16] and hopefully establish that I'm the [07:18] site that people care about for this and [07:20] never give up that number one spot. So, [07:22] that was my theory on referral traffic [07:24] by jumping out to a quick. Another [07:26] theory I had was demoralizing everybody [07:28] else from the competition. So by jumping [07:31] jumping out to number one really quick, [07:33] I wanted everyone to lose interest for [07:35] the rest of the contest and stop trying [07:37] [ __ ] So that way I'm number one and [07:39] they just give up. That seemed to work. [07:41] So referral traffic from actual human [07:43] beings. Remember those? Uh Facebook X, [07:46] LinkedIn, YouTube, email legit. We also [07:48] did push and browser notifications, but [07:50] I didn't have a way to really show [07:51] those. [07:54] that worked well and I wanted more, but [07:56] I didn't know how to do any of that [07:57] myself because like I said, I'm not that [07:59] great of an SEO. Most of the stuff you [08:01] guys talked about, I don't know how to [08:02] do any of that [ __ ] So, what I did was [08:04] I hired somebody else to do it for me. [08:06] And I got this guy, his username is [08:08] Ideal Mike. I won't mention what site [08:10] it's on so Mike doesn't come up here and [08:11] yell at me for pitching, but [08:15] I had him make a post on Reddit that [08:17] would build would send over to the site [08:18] and some referral traffic. He has this [08:20] uh CT a couple of CTR CTR services that [08:24] I use. He has a uh Is it still on? [08:28] Okay, just not get so close. Okay. Uh he [08:31] has a couple of social media things [08:32] where he'll send like to a big Facebook [08:34] group again driving people from Facebook [08:36] to the site and back and he has a couple [08:38] other services like that. So I used him [08:40] to drive a bunch more referral traffic [08:42] and CTR traffic to the site to keep it [08:44] there. But I also did some clever [ __ ] [08:46] I did some search box optimization which [08:48] is where if you search something and it [08:49] like suggests what you should click in [08:50] the search box. What I did was I [08:52] optimized it for when somebody tried to [08:55] search that term they would come over [08:56] and then see mine. So what I did I [08:59] leveraged my competitors to give me CTR [09:02] because I know that we're a bunch of [09:03] arrogant [ __ ] who are going to [09:04] go search our own rankings. So when they [09:06] search their own rankings they would see [09:07] mine and be like what is he up to and [09:09] click that and become my own my [09:11] competition became my own CTR. So I le [09:13] so I thought differently and I leveraged [09:15] my competitors to help me win. So [09:18] referral traffic that worked really [09:20] well, but I wasn't done yet. By far the [09:22] biggest difference maker I did was [09:23] chrome signal manipulation. When when I [09:26] say I did it, I mean I got somebody else [09:28] to do it. But this is a service and I [09:30] don't 100% know how it works, but I know [09:32] that it involves having people having [09:34] some kind of bot go to Chrome and then [09:36] go to social media and then send it out. [09:38] This worked really well. This jumped me [09:40] from like page three to number one. and [09:41] I'm convinced that this is what got me [09:43] to number one better than anything else [09:44] and is the main reason I want if I had [09:46] to point to one thing it would be that. [09:48] So referral traffic in my opinion is the [09:51] most powerful SEO tactic right now but [09:53] that's not all I did. [09:56] Backlinks uh referral traffic like I [09:59] said the biggest thing but we also had [10:01] to do some backlinks. Uh most other [10:03] people in the competition focused on [10:04] backlinks like their entire strategy. It [10:07] wasn't a major part of my strategy, but [10:09] I did do some backlinking and some of it [10:11] was conventional and some of it was less [10:13] so, which we'll get to in a minute. Uh, [10:15] I bought like 20 niche edits. Uh, as far [10:17] as the anchor text, conventional wisdom [10:19] is to be cautious, use branded, generic, [10:21] URL, all the stuff that we all think [10:23] we're supposed to do. I went the other [10:24] direction and did 20 of them with exact [10:27] match anchor text because again, I'm [10:29] trying to force that association between [10:31] that Google and my site for that term. [10:33] So continuing the theory of building [10:35] that association, that's why I did [10:37] nothing but exact matched anchors. Uh [10:39] next, I wanted to force Google to again [10:41] to assocate my site with that keyword. [10:43] So I did some I don't even know what to [10:44] call them, but like authority type [10:47] things, uh parasites, whatever you want [10:48] to call them, entity stuff. So some web [10:50] 2.0, some social media profiles, all [10:53] optimized or direct or exact matched [10:55] anchors to the uh the main term. Uh, I [10:57] did some Reddit guest posts, uh, which [11:00] actually will generate a little bit of [11:01] referral traffic on its own because this [11:03] guy owns like a bunch of subreddits and [11:05] he'll make a post and it'll drive some [11:06] traffic over to your site. Uh, wiki [11:08] pages, another wiki link, a link from [11:11] GitHub, which unfortunately doesn't work [11:12] anymore, but that was a really good one. [11:15] Uh, some other guest post, social media [11:17] post. So, basically, all I'm doing is [11:19] trying to establish from these high [11:20] trusted sites some links over to my site [11:22] to again force that association between [11:24] that term and my site. uh medium and so [11:27] on. So, a variety of high authority, [11:29] parasite, web 2.0, social, whatever the [11:31] hell you want to call it, linking to [11:33] naturally build trust, entity, and [11:35] possibly some more referral traffic. [11:36] There's one more type of link I did [11:38] though, and these were web 3.0 NFT [11:42] virtual world links. So, again, I have [11:45] no clue how to do this. I'm probably [11:46] even going to label them wrong in the [11:48] slides that come up, come slides that [11:49] come up, but thank you to Matt for uh [11:51] taking care of those for me out of [11:53] nowhere. Wasn't expecting that. What I [11:55] will say, here's one of them. It's Lucha [11:57] Libé guy. You can see he linked it over [11:59] to my site there. I don't even know what [12:02] this is, but it's some sort of page that [12:04] he tells me is good. Uh, [12:07] this one is a virtual world uh one, and [12:09] you can kind of see that. You know [12:10] what's funny is where I live is like [12:12] right there. So, that's why he chose [12:15] that location. Nobody come visit me. I [12:17] don't like people. Um, [12:20] and there's another one. Again, I don't [12:21] know if this is NFT or whatever. go talk [12:23] to Matt about this afterwards. [12:24] Hopefully, he has some way for you to [12:26] give him money for this. Now, uh this [12:28] one is some sort of map thing. And [12:30] again, linking to my site from the [12:33] virtual I don't know what the hell this [12:34] is, but a virtual world map. But what I [12:37] will tell you is if the you're wondering [12:39] if that worked before adding these, I [12:42] dropped in and out of number one. After [12:44] I added these, I got I was at number one [12:46] and I never left again. So, you know, [12:48] correlation, a causation, I don't know. [12:50] But I never dropped it out at number one [12:52] ever again, including to today uh after [12:54] I built or I after I had Mel Matt build [12:57] those links for me. So check check those [12:59] out if you were here for his [13:00] presentation two days ago. It was great. [13:03] The competitors. So I said that I wasn't [13:06] the only person in this competition that [13:07] got creative because you know I want to [13:09] give credit where credit's due. The [13:10] first one is Luke Fanders whose partner [13:12] is here today. He wasn't even in the [13:14] competition. I messaged him about like [13:16] what the [ __ ] are you doing? You aren't [13:17] even like competing in this thing. He's [13:18] like, I'm just doing it for the glory. [13:22] And so what he did, he created a fake [13:24] band called Lightning fastico. And he [13:28] actually created a whole like a whole [13:29] band and a whole band persona around it. [13:32] And he created some YouTube videos that [13:33] still ranked for it. Uh, and for a long [13:36] time he was, it's pardon. He was like [13:40] number we were SW he was like number two [13:42] for a long time and I guess they got [13:43] busy and like focused on other things. [13:45] But I thought that was incredibly [13:46] creative, a unique way to come at it, [13:48] thinking differently, which again is [13:50] kind of the point. The other competitor [13:52] was Tyler Rogers. He's not here, but [13:54] he's a member of the community. Colton's [13:56] here. He knows who I'm talking about. [13:58] And uh Tyler was the only person that [14:00] really gave me any consistent [14:02] competition throughout this. And the way [14:03] he went about it was way more creative [14:05] than I was. He actually created a whole [14:08] person, like a whole persona of a guy [14:11] named Tim Flabberico, who was the [14:13] founder and CEO [14:15] Yeah, exactly. Of some uh I don't know [14:17] agency thing type thing. And like he [14:21] created the whole thing like LinkedIn [14:22] pages, profiles, press releases, all of [14:25] it. And it worked for a long time until [14:27] I got Matt's links. We were exchanging [14:29] first place for a good long time. And [14:32] then toward the end of the contest, he [14:34] started getting even more creative and [14:36] he killed Tim Bombber. [14:41] So he actually did a press release [14:47] Lober announces passing his founder Tim [14:50] Lumber in a water polo accident [14:57] and it actually caught on like people [14:59] literally on Reddit were literally [15:00] talking about this like this was some [15:02] scam post that this is a fake site and [15:04] somebody was like yeah this company [15:06] kicks off with a vague mission the weak [15:07] founder sells out and dies all this [15:09] information I see what they did there [15:11] somebody like this got that much [15:12] attention And I so I was like challenge [15:15] accepted. So what I did was to leverage [15:19] that uh to neutralize the momentum he [15:21] was building because this was starting [15:22] to work. I made a memorial video on [15:24] YouTube and Facebook [15:27] where I literally went in and like said [15:30] passes away before taking over from.io [15:34] and linking out to my site again. And [15:37] like it did pretty well. it got like uh [15:39] where is it like 1,200 views and that [15:41] neutralized that threat. So I took away [15:44] the advantage away and you can see like [15:46] even now that video ranks number one for [15:49] that term like even above my site and I [15:50] have all three of those by the way. It's [15:52] not relevant but I just wanted to flex [15:54] and so basically Tyler [ __ ] around and [15:56] found out [15:57] what happened what happens when you try [15:59] to get creative with me. So the results [16:03] were this is uh the Slack channel for [16:05] the the group that was hosting it and [16:06] this is on December 15th. He announces [16:08] the winner. I handled it humbly by [16:11] saying that the champ is here. [16:15] Yeah. So that was that. And you can see [16:17] I came in first, but I also came in [16:18] ninth because you were allowed to have [16:19] up to three sites. So I also came in [16:21] ninth for a site that I didn't even [16:22] really try on. And again, still at [16:25] number one. This is from like two days [16:26] ago. I have number one organic and I [16:28] have all three of the images. So this [16:31] work and like I said the lesson I don't [16:34] want you to necessarily take away the [16:35] strategies because a lot of that you [16:36] wouldn't really be able to apply in most [16:38] of what you're doing. What I want you to [16:40] take away from this is it isn't [16:41] necessarily what I did but more how I [16:43] pushed myself to think differently. Uh [16:46] referral traffic was an absolute game [16:48] changer. It I never would have figured [16:50] that out without looking at this [16:51] differently. If I just handled this like [16:53] I do any other client or any other site [16:54] or any other thing that I do. It [16:56] wouldn't have worked. Force the [16:57] association. Again, I would never have [16:59] been that aggressive with like a client [17:00] site or an affiliate site or anything [17:02] like that. So, if I played it the way I [17:05] normally would, I probably wouldn't have [17:06] won uh backs. If I'd been conservative [17:09] with it with the anchor text or if I [17:11] hadn't tried Matt's links on it because [17:12] I would have been too afraid because [17:13] it's a client site or whatever, I don't [17:15] think this would have won because [17:16] everybody else was doing the same [ __ ] [17:18] Uh, you know, parasites, press releases, [17:19] whatever. I did some different stuff and [17:21] I think that's why I was able to beat [17:23] them out. You know, it's hard to say for [17:25] sure, but the evidence seems to point to [17:27] that, right? So think differently, be [17:30] creative. Most of these people stuck to [17:32] bread and butter SEO, links, perfect on [17:34] page, all the stuff that we all do that [17:36] we think is right and usually is. That's [17:38] great, but sometimes you have to think [17:39] outside the box to get the W. So think [17:42] about what advantages and assets you [17:44] have and try different things. Don't [17:46] listen to people whose only goal is to [17:47] [ __ ] on any technique that they don't [17:49] use or they don't like. I'm sure that [17:50] everybody in this room just thought of [17:52] somebody in particular when I said that. [17:54] It's okay to think outside the box. And [17:57] when you have competitors, like we all [17:59] do in one way or another, it is okay to [18:01] think big. Uh do whatever you have to do [18:04] to succeed. Use all your assets, use all [18:06] your resources, use all of your network. [18:08] Like you said, use your network, use [18:10] everything you have, and don't be afraid [18:11] to try new stuff because if you're going [18:12] to compete in SEO or in anything else, [18:15] you should do whatever it takes to win. [18:18] So that's it. Thank you. [18:24] And I put together a guide with like all [18:26] the steps and all the stuff that I use [18:28] if you want to access that. Hopefully [18:29] that doesn't get me banned for pitching, [18:32] but [18:34] I know I'm just at least I thought it [18:36] was. [18:38] And then uh everybody got that? Okay. [18:40] Okay. [18:42] There's that'll actually legit. It'll [18:44] take you there and like it's just a step [18:46] by-step kind of thing. And then if you [18:47] want to connect with me, you can do that [18:48] there. So, I think I know almost [18:50] everybody in this room already, but [18:53] and that's it. If there's any questions [18:56] back, [19:03] thank you. [19:06] Nope. No [19:07] questions. Anyone questions? [19:18] Great presentation. funny as [ __ ] Thank [19:19] you very much. [19:21] Okay, all these people that were going [19:22] up against you, were you guys talking [19:24] and were you out doing it or were you [19:26] just seeing what each other did by going [19:29] online? Like were you in the same slack [19:31] saying well I did this and I did that. [19:33] So the question was was everybody in the [19:35] competition doing able to communicate on [19:37] what they were doing what they weren't [19:39] we are all in the same slack group. A [19:40] few people would say I did this and did [19:42] that. But it was also there was a list. [19:44] I don't I can't go back to it, but it [19:46] showed who was in what place. So you [19:48] kind of knew who was doing what, but [19:49] nobody really said this is what I'm [19:50] doing and then it worked. I did when I [19:52] did a couple of like the clever things, [19:53] but for the most part, you kind of [19:55] figured it out. Nobody said this is what [19:56] I did, you know? So you kind of had to [19:58] like just like we have to do regularly, [20:00] right? [20:00] Did you win a prize? [20:01] I did. I won $1,000 which I gave to [20:05] and I won a year subscription to that [20:07] community. [20:08] Wow. Thank you. [20:11] more way more than the question was how [20:12] much did it cost with those purchases [20:14] and it was way more than I so but again [20:17] it was this honestly this right here is [20:19] the value I really got just being able [20:21] to talk about it [20:41] So, the Chrome referral traffic you [20:43] mentioned, I think there was like a [20:45] Fiverr [20:46] supplier you used or something in the [20:48] screenshot, but was that was that legit? [20:51] I don't know. I can't I can't see back [20:52] here. So, so, so with with that one, can [20:56] you explain that a little bit of what [20:56] the difference is with the other [20:58] referral traffic and that one? [20:59] I'm gonna be Oh, the question was, what [21:00] was the Chrome signal manipulation [21:02] service? I'm going to be completely [21:03] transparent. I don't 100% understand how [21:05] it works, but what I do know is that he [21:07] somehow sends people into like a Google [21:09] Chrome browser which sends the signal [21:11] and he sends people from there to social [21:13] media over to the site. So it has it [21:16] being in Chrome I think is the key to [21:17] being that could be wrong. I don't know [21:19] but that's my understanding. [21:24] else, [21:33] man. I love it. All these creative ways [21:35] of of getting stuff done. Like you say, [21:38] don't take it literally, but use that to [21:40] inspire yourself to think outside of the [21:42] box. And you thought way outside of the [21:45] box. [21:46] out of some of those the the gigs that [21:49] you use on that platform which isn't [21:51] Fiverr, would you use any of those for a [21:56] a client let's say plumbing or know just [21:59] regular local businesses or any [22:01] business? [22:01] Yeah. So the question was do I use any [22:03] of the services that I showed in this on [22:05] regular ones? And the answer is yes. A [22:07] lot of those like web 2.0 social [22:09] profiles they're like a standard part of [22:10] like my my SOP. I have used the Chrome [22:13] signal thing, but only when like I need [22:16] like a really like I'm like stuck like [22:18] page two or something. That will usually [22:19] get me the rest of the way there. Uh the [22:22] rest of those the traffic ones a little [22:23] bit here and there. I don't have like I [22:26] don't do enough sites to where it's [22:27] really necessary most of the time, but [22:29] there's nothing wrong with it. I have [22:30] used it before. [22:33] Yeah. Yeah. All that's linked in that [22:35] thing that I uh in that last QR code. [22:45] that [22:52] that's why I let you. [22:54] Oh, thank you whoever said that. [22:59] Fiber guy said that. [23:03] Is that all or [23:12] on your SOP. I if I missed I just opened [23:14] it up. I didn't read it. When you got [23:16] the endorsement post from the the third [23:18] party Reddit that he did on on that [23:20] case, did let's assume it's called that [23:22] a tier one backlink and the way we [23:24] talked about it back to flico.io, [23:27] did you spend any time tier twoing [23:28] building links to what he posted on a [23:30] Reddit that with a long post URL or [23:31] anything like that? [23:32] So the question was, did I do any beyond [23:34] tier one or tier two? I was set up. But [23:36] the answer is no because I figured there [23:38] wasn't enough time for it to like with [23:40] the two-month window for it to like pass [23:41] that trust on. So no, I didn't. [23:43] Everything was directly to the site, [23:44] which is again not something I would [23:46] normally do, but this a short time [23:48] window, so I had to be more aggressive. [23:54] Curiosity question. You kept like [23:56] releasing videos. Oh, sorry. You kept [23:59] like releasing videos like it's going to [24:00] premiere, but they never premiered. [24:04] I I don't I don't [24:04] No. Like so and when you go search bar [24:07] and everything and you scroll down, you [24:08] have a video waiting to premiere and it [24:10] would like say in 24 hours and it reset [24:13] in 24 hours. Like what the hell is he [24:14] doing? [24:15] I don't know what you're talking about. [24:16] I'm sorry. The question was uh you had a [24:19] bunch of videos to like waiting to [24:21] premiere on YouTube and then they never [24:22] premiered. I I didn't know that I did. [24:29] Oh, [24:31] it should have. Uh if you look on like [24:32] my my YouTube on like ice cream. It [24:35] might be there. If not, maybe I just, [24:37] you know, I think, you know, I think [24:37] what happened there was one day. [24:39] Yeah, I think there was one day when I [24:41] was gonna do one and then something came [24:42] up and I couldn't do it. [24:45] That's called poking, right? That's [24:46] called Hey, that's called you. Hi. So, [24:48] let Nester explain actually [24:55] [ __ ] tired of talking already. But [24:57] YouTube poking if you set up a stream, [24:58] right? a live a live event [25:01] and set up the thumbnail with the [25:03] keyword and everything. If it's a type [25:05] of keyword that's easy enough, the [25:07] thumbnail will show in the SERs right on [25:09] page one without you ever releasing the [25:11] video. So you can schedule it out like a [25:14] year away. Now, huh? [25:17] Yeah, I remember that super old poking. [25:19] It was crazy, bro. Especially when you [25:21] used to remember you used to get the big [25:22] old thumbnail on the whole top and [ __ ] [25:24] used to be crazy. That [ __ ] still works [25:26] here and there, but noncompetitive like [25:28] that, right? Perfect [ __ ] play. And [25:30] Chris, next time, right, you can [25:32] actually schedule those out and keep [25:34] Yeah. [25:35] taking up multiple spots on page one. [25:37] Yeah. It wouldn't have counted though. [25:38] It was only the sites. [25:40] Oh, okay. [25:53] Simon are here. [25:57] Okay. [25:59] Did you do press releases? I didn't [26:01] notice there. [26:02] Uh, you could do them. I didn't do any. [26:04] I figured that it just [26:05] it doesn't push enough trust or [26:06] authority or whatever, but you could. A [26:08] couple few people did. [26:09] It's too vanilla. [26:10] Yeah. She said there's some online [26:12] questions. [26:16] Okay. [26:17] question, how much did the other [26:19] referral traffic rankings before the [26:22] signals? [26:23] Uh, the question was, how much did other [26:25] referral traffic uh affect ranking [26:27] before the Chrome signal? Before I did [26:29] that, I was on like page two or three [26:30] like it would flip flop around a lot [26:32] because there was so many people doing [26:33] things. Well, once I did that, I got to [26:35] page one and I stayed there and I was on [26:36] I was at number one most of the [26:38] competition. [26:39] And then the next question is from [26:40] Peter. Have you tested [26:43] web readings on different [26:48] Uh, the question was, have I tried [26:50] Matt's web free links on any other [26:51] project? No other links. And not yet is [26:54] the answer. So, we will try that soon [26:58] as soon as he lists a service like I've [27:00] been telling you. [27:03] No, I He's going to because I've been [27:05] yelling at him a lot. [27:10] Okay, let's give one more hand. Awesome.
