- 8. 8 My thoughts on guest blogging are pretty transparent @RyanJones Here’s How I Reacted To That:
- 9. Search Engines want to takes action on: INTENT… NOT TACTICS
- 10. 10 Tactics vs. Strategy @RyanJones A strategy is a plan of action with a goal. It consists of several tactics. A tactic is a smaller, focused, less impactful action that’s part of a strategy.
- 11. 11 @RyanJones WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY? Guest Blogging Is NOT a Strategy. Strategies include: Acquire lower funnel traffic Increase brand awareness Ask: “what’s the goal of guest blogging?” What’s the goal of rankings? That will lead you to your strategy.

Editor's Notes
- this is a story about you, and me, and your links.there was a time not long ago before links. they didn't exist. now there are good links, bad links, followed links, nofollowed links, paid links, automated links, reciprocal links, guest blog links, and just about every kind of link you could want. how'd that happen?It's not just links. where did all the kinds of ranking factors come from?The answer, sounds like it's straight out of a fairy tale or myth, but it's no such thing.Let's go back across 20 years to a time before search engines used links - when our ancestors lived int he endless winter of excite, infoseek, and altavista
- Talk about why google used links, and what their intent was… then talk about how we strayed from that intent… leading into next slide.
- Talk about case study here.
- It’s not about number of links anymore. It’s about quality of links.Measure direct traffic from links.Audience. Exposure.
