One part of SEO Blueprint that we're incredibly proud of is our community. Not only via our Facebook Group (1,000+ discussions) but our below-video comments (1,600+) as well.

Early on we realised there were so many great discussions and incredible replies that were going to be easy to miss, so we created our /gold/ page to highlight them. 

As more and more comments come in, we save them on a Trello board so that when we do update the page, we have quite a few comments to add at once.

Today we've refreshed the gold page, adding things like:

- Kevin's smart tip on getting more YouTube views
- How Purushottam increased clicks on his affiliate inks
- Glenn shared how he creates exceptional content for clients (even in niches he isn't familiar with)

There's much more, but part of the fun is in seeing all of the headlines on our gold page at once and clicking on those that interest you.

Thanks to all who stop by our community each and every day.

If you found value in someone's comments, please do let them know!

After a very rough year for me (Glen) offline - easily the worst of my life - things have admittedly been quiet regarding SEO Blueprint updates.

Because of this I made sure we didn't open the doors to the course during my personal inactivity -- even during what is typically a very lucrative Black Friday / Cyber Monday opportunity.

We have some huge updates coming before the doors open again - including some much requested software we're testing behind the scenes - that I can't wait to share with you.

That said, one person who was a huge help in the community during this time is Kevin Indig, who has been active and invaluable at times in our private Facebook Group.

Kevin was the SEO lead at G2.com when he started helping out, but with today's exciting news he is now Director of SEO at Shopify (!).

Shopify power millions of online stores and are currently trading at an all-time-high on the stock market.

If you missed it, Kevin actually did a great AMA (Ask Me Anything) in our Facebook Group, which you can find here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoblueprint/permalink/513903169297826/

Huge congrats to Kevin on a professional level, and an even bigger Thank You from me on a personal one.

You've been more help than you will know. 

Shopify are lucky to have you.

When we first launched SEO Blueprint in the middle of 2019, we thought having comments underneath each video would be enough to satisfy the personal aspect of our offering.

The idea being that we try to teach something to the best of our ability, but if you have any questions, we can help you right where (and when) you have them.

That said, creating a Facebook Group was by far the most requested update from our initial members, and I have to say I'm really glad we ended up launching one a few weeks later.

We'll pass 1,000 discussions in there this year, so we created our /gold/ page as a way to highlight the best of what's being shared.

Right now the state of the economy is hurting (and scaring) a lot of people.

While some industries are thriving, many more are hurting, and many of you are in a position you never could have imagined just a few short weeks ago.

We thought of a number of ways we could give back and try to help, but I think more than anything right now, cash in the hand is king.

Because of that, we've settled on opening up a members-only marketplace, so we can all buy from - and sell to - each other. You can find it here.

It's already off to a great start, with over 140 comments.

We're personally committing to spending a minimum of $5,000 in response to replies in that very thread, and hope that other members who are doubling down during this uncertainty will find products, services and offerings they didn't know they needed (or didn't know you offered).

Come and join us and share what you have on offer, or take a look at how other members can help with what you're working on: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoblueprint/permalink/522349818453161/.

It's already off to a great start, with people buying from (and selling to) each other. We would love to see you there.

Here's to hoping the measures we're all undertaking will prevail, and we'll come through this stronger than before.

Today we are hosting our second ever AMA (Ask Me Anything) which I hope you'll find awesome on its own, but that's not all...

...I also managed to snag this person in to help out in the SEO Blueprint Facebook group for the next few months, so you'll be seeing a lot more of them in the comments to your questions.

Our guest is none other than Kevin Indig, the Vice President of SEO and Content at G2.com. If you're not familiar with G2, they're in the competitive software reviews space, and pull in over a million visitors per month from Google.

There's a lot more that I could say about Kevin, but instead I would love for you to come and join us and ask your questions.

You can do so over here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoblueprint/permalink/513903169297826/

Thank you!

With the most recent opening of SEO Blueprint it was really cool for me to see new members joining our Facebook Group and going back through all of the past discussions.

It also made me realise however that people shouldn't have to sift through hundreds of updates to find the real gems that have been shared.

That's why today I'm excited to announce our community "gold" page - highlighting some of the best discussions - here: https://seoblueprint.com/gold/.

Note: This is still under construction and we have a lot more to add - we're literally going back through every comment ever - but to start with there are some incredible discussions and comments from our community that I'm sure you'll love.

2020 is going to be a great year for this program - with many software additions and research reports on the way - all exclusive for members.

Thank you for being here!

A couple of weeks ago, in our members-only Facebook Group, we shared a new SEO extension we've been working on for the past few months.

It allows you to massively speed up day to day SEO work and includes a few features you won't find in any other extension.

Here's the link to the group post - https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoblueprint/permalink/484041405617336/ - where you can find more information.

Thanks to your amazing feedback, we've been adding a ton of features and just went live with version 1.1.

We plan to share this with the world in a few weeks, but would love to have you give it a try before anyone else.

(It should also help de-clutter your bookmarks bar a little as well).

It's possible that one of the sites you discovered me on before joining this program was Detailed.com.

I don't write on the site very often, but when I do I try to have something "big" to say, so this next update I'm working on is no exception.

I've taken the time to dive into 1,000 different keyphrases where articles promoting products and services as an affiliate are most likely to be ranking well.

And from there, I have taken that data and shared some really interesting insights.

The article isn't live just yet, but I wanted SEO Blueprint members to get a first look, so there's a Facebook post on exactly that, here.

It's 2020 and we plan to roll out just as many (if not a lot more) updates than we did in 2019.

We're still working on a lot of the private video audits we promised behind the scenes, but a few people did give us permission to put their video audit inside the course.

One person who gave us permission is New York Photographer James Maher.

You can find his audit here: https://seoblueprint.com/website-of-a-new-york-photographer/

Note: We didn't send an email about this as it's a smaller update, though we do plan to add another video tomorrow.

We have a lot of huge updates planned for 2020, and I can't wait to share them all with you.
