2020 is not a fun year so far. On top of all the anxiety-inducing things going on in the world, it seems to be the year of Google updates.

We've seen two so far already — one major core update in January and a smaller one in February.

And Google claims again and again that the updates are par for the course, that they are doing them all the time.

So how do we make sense of all these updates?

It's been six years since Matt Cutts, the former Head of Web Spam at Google, announced the death of guest blogging as a link-building technique. But fast forward to today, and guest blogging is well and alive and three out of four editors report publishing at least one guest post per week.

Happy to announce we've released the fully revamped Content Editor module in WebSite Auditor. From now on, it’s less than simple to write SEO-friendly content (and create SEO tasks for your copywriters)!

Producing great content is one of the best strategies to get traffic. Except it takes quite a while for your content to be discovered organically. It could be months, years, or perhaps even never. Which is why you can't afford to wait for the audience to come to you — you have to go to where your readers are and invite them in. These 11 tactics below will help you reach more eyes at no extra cost at all.

Google's primary business is figuring out the best page that would match what we're searching for. SEO's business, in turn, is clearly communicating to Google that we are in fact the best result for that particular query.

And today, doing that has much more to do with matching user's search intent, than with simply using the right amount of keywords. Read on to learn what search intent is and how to make sure your content aligns with it.

There are hundreds, possibly thousands of ways to attract links to your content. The actual link building tactics you turn to will depend greatly upon the resources you have at your disposal.

But whatever tactic you end up using, there are amazing tools that exist to make your job just a bit easier. This article is about the ways in which you can leverage the SEO PowerSuite toolkit to your advantage while running a link building campaign.

Ranking for the right keywords is uber-important.

But more and more, Google shifts its focus from keyword matching to topic recognition and satisfying search intent. This means that your approach to keyword research should be altered too.

Keep calm. You can easily adapt to these changes with today’s guide on how to do keyword research in 2020.

Keyword mapping is a complex, yet very crucial part of your site’s SEO.

Right keywords matching the right web pages equals relevant traffic to your site.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the keyword mapping basics and teach you how to make it less time-consuming and more efficient.

In plain words, a content management system (CMS) is an application or software used to create, edit, and organize the content of a website. CMS is a great tool for a marketer or a small business owner that helps run a website without extensive technical knowledge. A good CMS saves time, costs, and, if equipped with the right set of features, makes the life of an SEO marketer easier. But which CMS should you pick for your website? How do they differ? What should you look for as an SEO?

Building a keyword map is what most professional SEOs start any campaign with. This is the fundamental SEO task, but (and this surprises me most of all) we keep doing them manually in spreadsheets. With one tool to crawl your website for the list of pages, another one — to see if the pages already rank for any keywords on Google, another one — for backlink authority stats. And endless spreadsheets to merge and analyze the data.

We thought there might be a better way to manage keyword mapping. Now, fingers crossed, we invite you to give it a try!
