An Interesting On-Site "Issue" I've Been Seeing Lately

One of the things I love the most about SEO is that I continually find new things that affect a large number of pages on one site, that have never been an issue on sites I've analysed in the past.

Today's new video covers a specific example, referring to the character people use before adding their branding in title tags.

I can't say too much since these updates are available to read by non-members as well (though the content isn't), but I think you'll find this one interesting.

Here's the link: https://seoblueprint.com/spacing-issue-in-titles/

I really hope you like this one.

A 30-Minute Video on What to Do With Thin / Unnecessary Pages

Throughout the on-site SEO module, I've shown a number of different ways to find pages on your site (or your clients sites) that probably shouldn't exist.

At times, I've also included a number of hints as to what to do about those pages; such as sharing fixes for the "pages as images" issue which is common on sites running on WordPress.

Thanks to some feedback from Kim and Abhishek, I realised we should definitely have a single, in-depth video on what to do with the majority of "thin" or "strange" pages you come across.

I've just went live with a new video on exactly that: https://seoblueprint.com/act-upon-thin-or-unnecessary-pages/

This video was 40 minutes long before I cut it down to 30, but I like to think there's no fluff and it's full of actionable advice.

Just to make your life easier, you'll find clickable chapters in the play bar so you can skip to the sections most relevant to you.

I really hope you enjoy this one!

P.S. If you're reading this as an email subscriber, I actually made two other updates in the last 48 hours that I didn't email you about.

I try to only email you when I have something big to say, but you can click on What's new in the top right of the page after you log-in, and you'll see what else we've added.

New Audit of 'LiberalArtsColleges' in the Audits Module

Note: Due to this being a smaller update I'm not emailing it out to update subscribers.

I've just went live with an audit of a website in the education space, where I found a few opportunities for improvement on their site.

You can find the audit here: https://seoblueprint.com/analysing-a-site-covering/

I actually gave quite a long update to the sites owner in the comments with some feedback on why his homepage may not be ranking as well as it should.

It might give you some food for thought for the projects you're working on.

He's a really nice guy, so I hope we can help him with this one!

New Worksheet for 'Key Pages Losing Search Traffic' Video

Note: This is a smaller update so we did not send this out as an email to subscribers.

While creating the video on What to Check on Key Pages Which Have Lost Search Traffic, I realised I should probably create a worksheet to go with it.

This was then requested twice in the comments, so we have now put that worksheet live on the site.

You can find it underneath the video, and it looks something like this:

To try to be even more useful, and to hopefully make your life easier, we've also added chapter links to the video, as you can see in the screenshot below:

This means you don't have to watch the whole video again to see what was said about a particular check.

The worksheet also contains a time mention for each specific check as well.

A New Audits Module (And Refreshed Dashboard)

When we opened SEO Blueprint to the world, we allowed people who joined us in the first 48 hours to request a video for the course.

Around 50% of those requests were for reviews of personal sites, and around 50% were requests for further analysis on particular aspects of SEO (such as market research, and more).

I've recorded six of those videos now, but unfortunately some people didn't understand the original offer and asked for their site review to be private (which I'll happily take the blame for. It's not the end of the world.)

Some people are fine for us to share their reviews however, with three of those videos now live in our new audits module, https://seoblueprint.com/audits-blueprint/.

I don't think these videos should be 'completable' as you probably only want to watch those most relevant to your niche, but you can at least mark them as being watched.

To go with this we're also refreshing the dashboard so you can stay up to date on what's new at all times.

I blurred out the websites in the screenshot (and one commenter name) not to entice you to click through, but because these updates can be viewed by non members -- though they can not see any of the course content.

I've had some requests to make this dashboard more user-friendly on mobile devices so that's what I'm going to be focused on in the next update - though individual module pages should be fine on mobile devices.

I really hope you're enjoy this updates, and I can't wait to share what else we have in store. We haven't revealed all of the good stuff just yet.

Thank you for being here!

We Are Rolling Out Breadcrumbs to Make Navigation Easier

Note: We did not send an email about this update to changelog subscribers as it's very small.

Thanks to Curtis Storring for the suggestion, you should now start to see breadcrumbs at the top of all relevant video pages.

This not only helps you remember which module you are in, but makes it easier to go back to a specific module overview page if you aren't interested in going directly to the Next or Previous lesson (buttons underneath each video).

How I Pick Up Expired Domains with (Seemingly) Minimal Competition

I've just went live with a video I know a lot of people are going to be interested in: How to find interesting expired domains (with link authority) that you can pick up.

There's quite a long introduction to this one to give a bit of backstory, but if you want to skip to the meat you can find it at 6 minutes and 30 seconds into the video.

You can get the link to the video here: https://seoblueprint.com/minimal-competition-expired-domains/

I really hope you enjoy this one!

👥 We Now Have a Facebook Group (!)

After enough peer pressure over the last few weeks, we have finally caved and decided to create a Facebook group.

In all honesty, we think everyone requesting it was very right to do so, and a lot of SEOBlueprint members have already joined us inside.

You can find the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoblueprint/

Note that you will be asked for your course email address so we can help ensure only members are inside.

I should add, as I know people are going to be worried about this: This group is not for course support.

Not everyone uses Facebook (or wants to use Facebook) so that wouldn't be fair.

Also, the reason we didn't launch with a group is because groups are typically hard to manage and find things that have already been discussed.

I really like the on-site comment option where specific videos have all of their questions and answers in one place.

The primary purpose of the group is for members to be able to connect with each other, especially in order to create PINs, share link opportunities, ideas, and more.

A Brand New 15-Minute Affiliate Site Audit

One of our members requested that we review his site and share some feedback on where he can improve. Both with on-site SEO and design and usability.

He's built a great resource already, but there were some areas for improvement. You can find the new video here.
