This document discusses how to build links that satisfy Google's E.A.T. (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) guidelines. It introduces the concepts of E.A.T. and explains why links that increase the linked page's perceived quality are more valuable. Specific linking strategies are presented such as guest blogging, Wikipedia links, and Google My Business citations. The key takeaway is that links following E.A.T. principles help pages by boosting their perceived quality in search engine algorithms.
The document discusses strategies for content creation targeting low search volume keywords. It notes that while some marketers ignore these keywords, they can be high intent terms that are likely to convert if addressed with relevant content. The document advocates mapping out related low search volume topics, creating templates with rules for metadata, and programmatically launching many pages to cover niche topics. When this was tested with a 100-page pilot, it led to 105% traffic growth and 25% higher conversions after expanding the program to over 5,000 pages. The conclusion is that low search volume keywords should not be ignored as they can find "precious" intent if addressed properly.

How to Build Links Google Loves #searchlondonKelvin Newman
Recently at the Search London event I presented this deck on how to build links that Google loves. Really its about content marketing and an approach and model I've used successfully in the past.
Link building involves creating inbound links to a website from external sites to improve search engine rankings and increase targeted traffic. It is important to build quality links from relevant sites through methods like email outreach, guest blogging, and directory submissions. An effective link building strategy focuses on creating valuable content that other sites will want to link to organically over time in order to achieve business objectives through increased visibility and rankings.
It goes by many names: online marketing; internet marketing; web marketing...and more. It really doesn’t matter what it’s called – all you really need to know is there are many ways your business can benefit from using the internet and email to find more customers...and keep up with your competitors already marketing online!
But where to start? And how to do it well?
If you’re new to internet marketing, or you’ve had a go and wondered why it doesn’t seem to be working yet, this presentation could be for you.
We’ll look at social media, websites, blogging, email marketing and SEO. We’ll start with the basics and then look at ways to create valuable and engaging content to attract new customers, getting the most out of your website if you have one, how to make it look professional, and lots of tips to help you put it all into practice.
This document discusses adult SEO strategies and tactics. It provides an overview of link building techniques including comment spam, forum profile linking, and dropping links in unrelated articles. It also notes that while quality content is important, Google may need more time to properly assess new websites and rank their content appropriately. The document emphasizes using white hat SEO techniques over manipulative methods and suggests patience may be needed even with fresh content.
Most SEOs understand that entities existm but really do not differentiate between Entities and words. Words are simply labels for those entities. Knowing this is key to understanding SEO and indeed Internet Marketing in the modern world.

It begins by explaining the benefits of connecting entities within content, rather than just words, and translating those connections into internal links. It then provides an overview of technologies like PageRank, the reasonable surfer algorithm, topical PageRank, chunking, and natural language processing that search engines use to understand contexts and how those ideas can be applied to internal linking at scale. Specific options for approaches to internal linking existing pages are also outlined.
Creating Workflows for Sustainable Link Building.pptxDixon Jones
This document discusses strategies for sustainable link building workflows. It begins by establishing that links still matter for search engine optimization. The document then provides examples of link building strategies, including fixing 404 errors, using internal linking tricks, creating original research, reference-able content, authoritative content, and data-driven content. It also discusses tools for identifying relevant influencers to engage with and provides tips for defining digital assets, preparing launches, and monitoring results. The overall message is that links matter and the strategies presented can be used to create sustainable link building workflows.
Keyword Research the old way is just dumb. Knowing how many people type "Mustang" is irrelevemt unless you know which ones are searching for a horse and which are search for a car. You need this new approach.
The new approach tio Content Planning builds out content by initially looking at what a business has ALREADY built out. This gives AI models a ready made training set on which to build suggestions and constrictiuve ideas for developing content.

Hyperlinks also allow you to find influencers around a topic or identify the authors of a news site. The key takeaway is that having access to true link data and understanding how to analyze link information can provide new insights.
Get to grips with the main features you need from the Awesome InLinks SEO Tool:
Internal Linking by Topic
Content Optimization
Schema Automation
(Slides by Genie Jones)
1) Knowledge graphs are structured databases that represent real-world entities and their relationships to each other. They help search engines like Google understand topics at a deeper level.
2) Entities (topics) are becoming more important than keywords for search engines to understand content. Google's entity understanding can be checked using their natural language processing tool.
3) Semantic SEO techniques like tightly linking topics both internally and to relevant external pages can help improve how search engines understand and represent the entities within a website through their knowledge graphs.
How to approach SEO in a world where Google has moved from strings and keywords to things, topics and entities. Dixon JOnes is the CEO of InLinks, who have build a proprietory NLP algorithm and Knowledge Graph designed for the SEO Industry.

How to evaluate the whole web (without being Google)Dixon Jones
Could you build your own, private view of the Internet? One that isn't reliant on Google or Bing? Majestic has done this and now has one of the largest web indexes on the planet. Whilst known and a backlink analysis engine, Majestic infact has its own, unique view of the Internet and is able to derive meaning, influence and context out of its dataset. Here's how they did it. (2018)
Majestic, a search engine company, partnered with Made In Space, a company that 3D prints objects in space, to send a 3D printer to the International Space Station. The printer will create a physical representation of the internet in zero gravity. This ambitious project, called #MajesticInSpace, generated significant media coverage and social media engagement. Over 1,300 Twitter contributors and 1,600 tweets discussed the launch, which had a potential social media reach of 5 million people. Majestic hopes the project will demonstrate their vision and capabilities as a big data company beyond just the SEO industry.
SEOs often see PR People as key to their success, but the PR community often find it hard to relate their approach back to the SEO community. This presentation shows why SEO is as important to PR people as words and feelings. (2018)
A look at how and why Majestic used a 3D Printer on the Space Station to print a visualization of the Internet. It talks to why it is important to create stories that resonate with your audience.
A philosophical look at the merits and murkiness or search engine manipulation. How it is getting harder, but will never die. A look at what worked then and what will work in the future. (2018)
Aligning your marketing with your customer's journeyDixon Jones
Modern marketing is not about interrupting the user with your advert and convincing them to buy... Today's marketing is about creating a win-win partnership between the consumer and the creator.
Link Building, Topicality & the Reasonable SurferDixon Jones
After Pagerank, Google overlayed this algorithm with the idea of the Reasonable Surfer. This presentation at Pubcon Vegas is all about Topics, links and the reasonable surfer.
I have set up and sold a few businesses, and failed to sell others. This is my collective experience on how to sell your stake and get out without losing your shirt.
The document discusses how PageRank works. It describes the PageRank algorithm which calculates the importance of web pages based on the number and quality of links to a page. The PageRank value is distributed among outbound links on a page. It provides an example of calculating PageRank over multiple iterations on a sample network of pages. The PageRank values converge as the algorithm runs more iterations. It notes that looking at individual page strength, rather than just domain-level links, provides more accurate results.

25. ONE TAKEAWAY
E.A.T. is important for backlinking because E.A.T.
is at the heart of Page Quality scores.
If your link INCREASES the Link Prospect’s PQ
Score, you are in with a shout. But if it reduces
or makes no difference to their PQ Score, you
have nothing to bargain with.
26. Booker T Washington said
"Associate yourself with
people of good quality, for
it is better to be alone than
in bad company."
Title: How to EAT Links
Someone will tell you that EAT has NOTHING to do with backlinks. I beg you to watch this presentation and make up your own mind. Because I may talk rubbish sometimes, but I do have more than a passing understanding of links and backlinks…
20 minutes
**Description: The idea of “Expertise, Authority and Trust” is a central pillar in Google’s Quality Rater Guidelines. Unfortunately, they talk very little about links – but the idea makes for a sensible and readily transferrable way of looking at links. This talk looks at how you can think of links in terms of Expertise, Authority and Trust and use this to build a better presence on the web for your brand.

Does the QR Guidelines talk about BACLINKS? No.
The guidelines mentions link (or links) 120 times.
But they are MOSTLY talking about links OUT of a page.
This will be obvious, because the quality-rater doesn’t have access to the backlink profile.
But these things that Google is asking their raters to check for helps you both write better content AND get better links.
Quality Raters are asked to set a PQ score for every page they visit.
Google’s algorithms are trying to emulate these scores.
So you want links from pages that will get GOOD scores.
You probably also want CONTEXTUAL links from these pages, but if you get non-contextual links, then you are likely to have the effect of reducing the PQ score in the future.
Transition => because Google has already set an expected PQ score by machine. PQ is checking that Google’s algo got it right. So over time, any spam technique that is visible to Quality raters will gain in numbers and start to affect the PQ score which, in turn, will cause the engineers to consider how to mitigate low PQ scores.
Note that below a certain threshold of quality, Google engineers really do not have to worry.
This is my favourite Quote, form an advisor in the Whitehouse in Roosevelt’s time.
Because Google is really trying to assess quality.
The links OUT of a page get the E-A-T treatment. Because a link OUT of a page says something (a lot actually) about the Expertise, Authority and Trust of that page, the link itself affects the PQ of a page.
Think about this when you ask for a link… Are you making their page better or worse? Be honest…
There are a few other acronyms in the document that are important
The rate guidelines ask the rater to Keep their eye on the ball and look hard at the difference between:
MC – Main Content
SC – Supplementary Content
Ads – Monetized content.
This doesn’t mean supplementary Content is bad! Quite the opposite. It is a link opportunity
Sometimes, google is looking for focus in content.
If I am trying to improve the Page Quality, then Instead of a 10,000 word article, I might consider short paragraphs and then linking out to pages with more detail on that section.
This can work for you in an outreach situation. You might persuade others to link to you, because you have that supplementary content and level of detail within your content?
Do the QR guidelines gus a clus as to whether Wikipedia links are good?
Links from Wikipedia are noFollowed. But noFollowed links still matter, because Qraters are not TAUGHT about NoFollow!
They ARE, however, encouraged to research Wikipedia to see if the page or MC stands up to scrutiny!
Now… Google is trying to mimic what the Qrater sees. I propose that it must do that by recognizing links TO a page from Wikipedia as a signal of quality.
Unless the link is inapproporiate! In which case, it’s 6 of 1 and half a dozen as to whether Google (the the Qrater) notices.
By the way – not even all Wikipedia pages are of the same quality.
Majestic has a great Chrome (and Firefox) extension that lets you see the key metrics of ANY web page instantly without leaving the page.
There is even a free version and no data is shared with Majestic. So every SEO should have it in their arsenal.
I use it ALL the time.
So this is an example in the QR guidelines of perhaps the lowest Page Quality.
Very little content
Question is not answered or even consistent.
Not all pages on this site are bad… Page quality is NOT site quality. (TF?CF > DA/SA)
By the way, I tracked down this page. It has since been updated to just list the ”BEST” answer and the related links have come off,
But Majestic still sees the page as pants.
A Caveat, here… Ever since Google started to offer answer boxes, not just 10 blue links, Answers.com is a competitor to Google. So even though Google is right in this case, I want to make it clear that other pages or articles on Answers.com may be excellent.
Consider everything at the PAGE level. A great site has bad pages. Some bad sites may even have the odd good page.
The Qraters do not just analyze web pages.
They also check SERPs and things like Maps (This one)
Here’s a SERP relating to Google maps and they cite a link as being beneficial to the user here.
The point they make is that it is a link to directions, but the QR will be looking for a better UX.
Takeaway:
So claiming your GMB listing and adding the link is REALLY a good link building “thing” to do.
From here on. Imagine each Gif was the content on a web page….
So the QR Guidelines are all about a web page demonstrating E.A.T.
So your two questions as a link builder are:
Does this web page ooze E.A.T. and
Can a link on this page help THAT PAGE’s E.A.T. (and OPQ) scores?
You can only evaluate this based on what a link does for THEM… not what it does for YOU!
So let’s look at the three pillars of EAT in turn and how you can play to them.
This – by the way – is one of the few Gifs that I found that demonstrated all three pillars of EAT.
-If this gif was on a wildlife centre website. I would EAT them.
But it is not as easy as you think to get all three pillars in one web page. As the link builder, ask if you can give that web page the missing pillar.
Let’s look at these one by one.
Visual cues are brilliant for demonstrating expertise. Look at this GIF. This guy IS an expert. No question. You want links from pages that demonstrate this level of expertise in THEIR subject matter.
If the site/page doesn’t already show some level of expertise, then this may not be fertile ground for a link. But perhaps you can help them along that route.
- A YouTube video or a Slideshare are really easy things for site owners to embed. Also really easy for the web owner to decide whether it adds real value to their visitor. YouTube assets can make for great links! If someone embeds your video into their page, do you really need to ask for a link as well? Certainly, offering a video or slideshare or even and infograophic that makes the page content contain more evidence of expertise is much easier than asking for a link! And once that asset is there, a link request is MUCH easier, as you are asking for attribution, not just a link.
So let’s move on to Trust.
How might you offer to make a page more “Trustworthy” by adding a link?
An example of using the Trust pillar to develop links (with a widget)
This page (one of mine) is a home page DESPARTELY trying to ooze trust!
But there may be link opportunities for third parties here.
What if the Global Search awards had a video of the award ceremnony or comments by the judges?
What if those brands had a review of my product
Or what if the SEOs had reviews on their sites?
These might all influence me to put a link on the home page. I wouldn’t… because the home page is sacrosanct… but I might link to an internal “trust signals page” which could link out for verification.
But links from home pages DO happen!
Here Smartmoney business awards has managed to get a link on the home page of Starlingbank. It demonstrates extra TRUST, for the bank, but only if you trust the awards. A bit of digging by the QR would help determine that, but Google could use simple Pagerank like scores on Smartmoney business awards wensite to emulate the WR’s research.
But I believe a BETTER link opportunity would be from the FCA.
Third is Authority.
Demonstrating Authority is MUCH. Harder. Both for you and for the web page.
I even found it really hard to find a Gif that demonstrates or oozes “authority”. I wanted to FEEL like this when I was looking for the right GIF. Animation or someone pretending to be an FBI officer just wasn’t cutting it for me.
This may be why .gov pages are perceived to carry so much weight. It is less likely to be a function of the domain tls. More about the perception of authority.
How might the QR assess “Authority”? How might a link to YOUR site improve the Authority of the source page? It’s really not easy.Certification badges – especially ones that link to the badge issuer. Has certainly helped
If Starlingbank linked to THIS URL, THAT would be a sign of authority!
This would be a link that… if the FCA asked for… would benefit all parties. Firstly, the user would be easily able to verify whether Starlingbank is indeed, allowed to operate as a bank. Second it would give the page a potentially higher PQ score and thirdly, it would do no harm for the FCA as they lend their position of authority to their members’ pages.
When it comes to Authority, people of authority may have an advantage for getting links.
There is a lot in the guidelines about WHO is responsible for the (MAIN) content (MC)
The content writer
The Website owner
Syndicated Content
An Advertising network
If the author is responsible, then they better have some kudos relating to the MC, which is evidenced on the page or in the SC. Otherwise the PQ will not be good enough to get a link benefit.
Not even Bill Gates is authoritative about Popular Culture.
The author’s persona matters!
I am truly honoured to once again be allowed to talk with you today at Brighton SEO. I never take these opportunities for granted.
I’m going to leave on the same slide that I started with. I think it may ring more true than when we started.
Goodbye and thankyou.
