How to turn Google's "People Also Ask" box into a month of content. The People Also Ask box is the most underused free research tool in SEO. Every question in it is something real people search. And it doesn't stop at four. Step 1: Open it up Search your main topic. Click a question in the People Also Ask box. Google adds more questions underneath. Click those. Keep going. After a few minutes you'll have dozens, and they'll drift into related topics you'd never have thought of. Or use a tool like @answersocrates to save time. Step 2: Write every question down Copy them all into one list. Don't filter yet. The odd ones are often the most useful. Step 3: Repeat for your main subtopics Do the same for three to five related searches. Each one opens a different branch of questions. Step 4: Sort them into three piles Big questions. These need a full page to answer properly. "How does X work?" Supporting questions. These fit as a section inside a bigger page. "How long does X take?" Quick answers. One or two sentences. These go in an FAQ. Step 5: Build pages, not posts Each big question becomes a page. Its supporting questions become the headings on that page. Its quick answers go in the FAQ at the bottom. One page now answers ten real questions instead of one. That's what makes a page genuinely complete. Step 6: Answer the question first Put the direct answer in the first sentence or two under each heading. Then explain. The question is already in the reader's head. Don't make them scroll for the answer. Step 7: Link them together Your big pages should link to each other where the questions overlap. Now it isn't a pile of articles. It's a topic you cover properly. A few hours with the People Also Ask box gives you a month of pages built on questions people actually ask. You can also combine this with autocomplete questions, so you don't have to click for an hour. But the method works by hand, and doing it once teaches you a lot about your audience.

Google has 16 spam policies. Here's every one in plain English: 1. Cloaking Showing Google one page and visitors another. Google's example: travel pages for the crawler, discount drug pages for people. 2. Doorway abuse Lots of near-identical pages built to rank for similar searches, all funnelling to one place. Think one page per town that says the same thing. 3. Expired domain abuse Buying an old domain for its reputation and filling it with low-value content. Google's example: affiliate content on a site that used to belong to a government agency. 4. Hacked content Anything put on your site without permission through a security hole. You can be hit for this as the victim. 5. Hidden text and link abuse Text or links meant for search engines, not people. The classic: white text on a white background. 6. Keyword stuffing Cramming a page with keywords or numbers to rank. Google's example: lists of phone numbers with no real value. 7. Link spam Creating links mainly to manipulate rankings. Buying or selling links counts. 8. Machine-generated traffic Sending automated queries to Google. Google's own example: "scraping search results for rank-checking purposes." Yes, that covers tools that scrape Google directly to check your rankings. 9. Malicious practices Anything that tricks users or compromises their security or privacy. Malware is the obvious one. 10. Misleading functionality Pages that promise something they don't deliver. Google's example: a fake generator that claims to give app store credit. 11. Scaled content abuse Many pages made mainly to rank, not to help anyone. Google names generative AI pages "without adding value for users" as an example. It's about the purpose, not the tool. 12. Scraping Republishing other sites' content without adding anything original or citing the source. 13. Site reputation policy Third-party content published on a strong site mainly to borrow its ranking signals. Google's example: a sponsored payday loan review on an educational site. @parasiteseocom 😉 14. Sneaky redirects Sending people somewhere different from what they clicked, or showing Google one thing and users another. 15. Thin affiliation Affiliate pages where the descriptions and reviews are copied from the merchant with nothing original added. 16. User-generated spam Spam that users post through your comments, forums or profiles. Your site, your problem. Google covers it's self saying "other practices that can lead to demotion or removal." Bookmark this for the next spam update.

Speaking in Chiang Mai on November 11. Black Hat SEO Day. 300 seats. No recordings. Come say hi. blackhatday.com

Google's September spam update is on day 12 and still rolling. The last three finished in under 3 days: - March: 19 hours - June: 2 days, 1 hour - August: 2 days, 16 hours This time Google warned it "may take up to two weeks." The others said "a few days." If your rankings are jumping around right now, this is probably why. Wait for Google to mark it complete before you judge the damage.
