Using Schema to Avoid Internal Competition Between Articles Targeting Similar Keywords
In this video, I discuss the concept of using schema to avoid internal competition between pages on your website in search engine rankings. I explain how internal competition occurs when multiple articles from the same website compete for a page one slot on Google. I share solutions that were suggested in a Facebook group discussion, such as focusing on search intent and avoiding overlap. I also mention the importance of making content unambiguous for Google to understand – and Schema is a useful tool in the toolchest! Video Guide: Using Article “About” Schema to Fix Keyword Cannibalization RankMath Guide to Adding “about” Schema Here’s a link to the RankMath guide to adding “about” schema to your page using text links Article “About” Schema Example – Kolsch Beer <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Article", "name": "Mastering the Art of Homebrewing a Kölsch Beer", "about": { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Kölsch", "sameAs": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kölsch_(beer)" } } </script> Article “About” Schema Copy/Paste <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Article", "name": "Insert Article Title Here", "about": { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Insert what you're defining here", "sameAs": "Insert the Wikipedia page URL" } } </script> Remember to paste this code into a “HTML” Block – you can find this in the list of blocks available within Gutenberg Block Editor as standard Mentions vs About Schema I only mention “about” schema in the video – as it’s at the core of resolving this issue. Adding “mentions” schema is a further advanced level of implementation which isn’t 100% necessary to combat internal competition, but could be helpful – the link to RankMath below will help explain a...

I explain the technical aspects of SEO and how it can help achieve traffic and audience growth goals.

I also emphasize the significance of aligning the author information with the guest author’s website. Differences when using RankMath, Yoast SEO, All-in-one SEO Plugins for Author Schema If you’re a RankMath or All-in-one SEO user, the instructions remain exactly the same, you’ll just have a slightly different user interface to what I’ve shown in the video.

WordPress Localization: How to publish a website in multiple locations and languages
Multi-lingual websites are still in their infancy with so many international eCommerce and content sites STILL causing themselves complete confusion (and SEO nightmares) by dealing poorly with serving their website pages in multiple languages – serving multiple geographies. Unbelievably, the solutions are astonishingly simple, straightforward, low cost and within the reach of non-developers. Yet still – this question baffles a lot of web developers, website builders, website owners and more.

Maximising Eligibility for Google Discover Traffic
As content publishers monetizing websites with Ads, we all want Google Discover traffic, it’s a no brainer. It’s not search traffic, it’s more “browsing based on interest” type traffic, it can have a great RPM and great time on page. Even if you’re running an eCommerce business, taking advantage of Google Discover traffic to generate more reach, impressions and brand awareness isn’t a bad idea (especially if it’s a simple process to maximize your chances of getting Discover traffic in the first place) Let’s get to it.

In these initial episodes we’ve been covering some of the foundational topics and concepts – not simple, but essential foundations for the understanding of a rounded and effective external traffic strategy for Amazon and in fact, a future proof traffic strategy for eCommerce. Far too much “General” advice is provided out there without context – that makes it difficult to make strategic decisions about your business without feeling like you’re doing a lot of guesswork and wasting a lot of money “learning” in the process. So today we’re going to take another leap forward in our grasp of the world of External Traffic for Amazon FBA and we’re going to take a look at Organic Search Traffic, what is it and how does it work for Amazon sellers?

WooCommerce Multi-Country, Multi-Currency, Language & Multi Warehouse
At some point in the future, maybe the not too distant future, you’ll be thinking about taking over the world. Yes, that’s right, world domination. At that point, you’ll be hoping that the foundations you’ve laid will support this growth. You’ll want to have multi-language, multi-currency and multi-warehouse shipping at your fingertips! Good news is, if you’ve built on WordPress and WooCommerce, there are solutions to building a WooCommerce multi country store. Plural. This means you can take your WordPress website from just being a brochure website, to an organic traffic grabbing content publishing site, to an affiliate product catalogue site, onward to a fully functioning eCommerce site in your primary country, and then even further onward to a multi-national eCommerce site that serves content and products relevant to each geographic region. That’s some serious scalability. I’m going to give you some pointers and some resources showing you how it’s possible to reach those upper echelons of eCommerce world domination with your WordPress and WooCommerce eCommerce site. In doing so, I’ll point you in the right direction, hopefully pointing you away from the wrong direction. Just remember the principle; your website is built on a domain that has authority. If you add more domains, you need to START AGAIN in building their authority. When expanding, you need to leverage the authority of your existing domain to maximise the return on your investment. Or; be prepared to invest ALL OVER AGAIN.

The Sales-Traffic Paradigm Shift hitting the Amazon marketplace
Difference between your own traffic and your own sales? A checkout page Difference between Amazon traffic and your own traffic? A focused team, an investment mindset, a long term view… not following the crowd (maybe a guide like Future State Media…) People talk about being “off Amazon” – most take this to mean “having a Shopify site”. At the core however, it’s about owning the traffic. It’s a huge step going from Amazon traffic to your own traffic, it’s a small step going from your own traffic to your own sales on your own site. How Ranking on Amazon’s A9 Algorithm is changing Table of Contents ToggleThe Current Paradigm – Ranking On Amazon Sales = SalesThe Paradigm Shift… Ranking on and OFF AmazonThe Difficulty and Expertise Required in This New Traffic ParadigmA New Plan For The New Paradigm The Current Paradigm – Ranking On Amazon Sales = Sales Rank for keywords in the Amazon A9 Algorithm by stimulating an Artificial Sales Velocity with reduced price sales. This is similar to the high street sales strategy. Shout SALE as loud as possible to get the volume of product flowing. Another version of this paradigm is the “loss leader” – a loss we’re convinced we have to make in order to make money with other products, sales or customers. “Lose money on some in the hope of making profit overall” Over time we’ve become experts, refining intricate ways of losing money on sales to feed the concept of this paradigm. We even named this in our business. It was our “perpetual giveaway system” helping us giveaway enough product at the...

WooCommerce Grouped Product Type FULLY Explained
Not finding the information you need on WooCommerce Grouped Products? You’re not alone. This WooCommerce product type seems to be hidden below a tonne of promotion for WooCommerce Product Bundles and a bunch of other WooCommerce Plugins that appear to be necessary for something that is actually core functionality. You won’t find this video by searching the WooCommerce Docs (which is weird) but I managed to uncover this video which actually explains Grouped Products in WooCommerce really quite clearly. For some reason there’s a complete lack of searchable documentation on the WooCommerce site – so hopefully this will end your search! WooCommerce Grouped Products Explained What You Can Do With WooCommerce Grouped Products WooCommerce Grouped Products are ultimately like “collections” They actually rely on the existence of other WooCommerce Product Types for their construction. i.e. you can’t add anything new to a grouped product that doesn’t already exist in the WooCommerce Product Catalogue on your store. The limitation of this type of product as it’s constructed on WooCommerce Core is that despite the fact you can bundle products together as a grouped product in WooCommerce, you can’t then apply a discount. The main reason you’d group or bundle products in WooCommerce is to incentivise your online shoppers to add more products to their basket. Just grouping some products together may work, but it’s going to be far less effective than if you also offer a discount on the group of products. This is where the question of “how does WooCommerce make money” really comes in. They offer some core functionality that doesn’t quite achieve what you want it...
