A deconstruction of the challenges faced in the process of effective keyword research, ideas for some of the reasons why these problems occur, and some suggestions around new ways of thinking, planning, researching, categorizing and managing keywords - all in order to enable effective tactical decision making and strategic focus.
Understand who your visitors are, what happens after they convert, what they do in the future, and how much money they make you - and use this to influence your keyword research, strategies and tactics.
Technical SEO is easy. Making recommendations on site structures, opportunities and technical initiatives is pretty straightforward. But the psychology, politics and processes around delivering a actions which are understood, bought into, and acted upon, is much harder. Here's the fix.
Getting Around Finance - Keyword Research & TaggingJono Alderson
In order to win in competitive markets like finance, you need to understand the market, your audience, and the opportunities. You can only do this from an orbital view of keywords, language and behaviour - and to then zoom in to specific niches and areas of focus.
Stop thinking about 'keywords', and start thinking about keyword 'families' - groups of contextually related phrases which indicate similar need groups; from synonym phrases through to simple typos, there's a world of insight you're missing out on.

(How to) stop pretending that you're customer-centricJono Alderson
The world has changed. Users demand exceptional brand experiences. Google rewards good experiences and customer-centric thinking. Surviving means putting the consumer first.
But your CEO doesn't give a damn about user experience. Your marketing manager only obsesses about conversion rate and revenue. Your channel teams are judged on visitor volumes and acquisition costs. Your organisation runs on dashboards which ask, "How many people did we get to the website? How many of them did the thing we want them to do?" You're the opposite of customer-centric - and all of the feel-good, aspirational Instagram content and Facebook video you produce doesn't change a thing.
It's time to change the way we think about success for brands, content, and marketing. It's time to help users do what they want to do - and to make a ton of money in the process.

Ten Things You Should Know About Google Search and Your BusinessWendy Emerson
Ten things to give consideration to for building organic search rank in Google from proper page structure and tagging, to measurement and analytics using Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools - and everything in between.
Consumer search behaviour is complex.
You perform multiple searches on multiple devices over multiple days; where everything you see and experience, in the SERPs and beyond, influences your brand preference and purchase decisions.
Traditional funnel analysis and marketing models do a poor job of measuring and managing this ecosystem.
We need to re-think the way we talk about, measure and manage SEO if we want bigger budgets, integrated strategies, and to win big - and we need to move fast; some of the world's biggest companies are already beating us to it.

Doing An Awesome Site Audit - Jono Alderson - Linkdex Think TankLinkdex
Technical SEO is important. The way your website is built and operates can directly affect rankings, traffic, and revenue – so why do so many brands’ websites have crippling technical issues? Jono examines the role of the Technical Site Audit, challenges us to present our findings, and examine requirements with consideration for the commercial, operational, and psychological factors at play — in order to get things fixed, and to win big.
My presentation from the BrightEdge 2014 Share conference about tactics and strategies for Navigating Secure (SSL) Search for SEO since Google removed most keyword visibility from moving towards secure search via HTTPS.
A world of structured data promises us an incredible future. But most websites struggle to even implement basic schema.org markup. Fewer still represent and connect their pages and content in sophisticated, structured graphs. We can’t reach that incredible future without increasing and improving adoption.
To move forward, we need to make constructing rich structured data as easy as writing a recipe. This isn’t a pipe dream: at Yoast, we think we’ve solved schema for everybody, everywhere. We’d love to share our story.
Whether you’ve moved in-house for the first time, or looking to pitch for a new client, the task of putting together an SEO strategy from scratch can be daunting. Where do you even begin? This talk covers the practicalities of focusing your efforts on what matters in order to produce a well-informed SEO strategy.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

What happens when everybody's website is fixed Jono Alderson
For many of us, a big part of our job is essentially to fix or improve things. We seek out marginal, incremental gains to make our platforms, brands and performance 'good enough', or at least, 'less bad than our competitors'. What happens when all of this is no longer necessary? When everybody's website, app or software is perfect? Few of our brands are equipped to compete - or even to survive - in this new world. We need a radically different way of thinking, and for many, it may already be too late.
Slow sites frustrate consumers. Frustration costs money. To delight consumers, beat competitors, and to please Google, your site will need to load in under a second. Web performance is no longer an art, but a science. You have 600 milliseconds; how will you spend them?
How much time and money do we collectively burn by fixing the same kinds of basic, "binary," well-defined things over and over again (e.g., meta tags, 404s, URLs, etc), when we could be teaching others throughout our organizations not to break them in the first place?
As long as we "own" technical SEO, there's no reason (for example) for the average developer to learn it or care — so they keep making the same mistakes. We proclaim that others are doing things wrong, but by doing so we only reinforce the line between our skills and theirs. We need to start giving away bits of the SEO discipline, and technical SEO is the easiest piece for us to stop owning.
It's time for more democratization, education, collaboration, and investment in open-source projects so we can fix things once, rather than a million times.

Brace yourself for a whirlwind of speed techniques and opportunities - from HTTP2 to PWAs and beyond!
Product Marketing by Numbers - Objectives, Goals and KPI frameworksJono Alderson
Product management should be data driven, consumer-centric, and informed by deep insights derived from tracking and analysing user behaviour at scale.
But this can only happen if you use a framework; if you've defined what 'good' looks like before you start implementing tracking and collecting data points.
I explore a couple of frameworks - including my own hybrid model - and share processes which overcome analysis paralysis and enable truly data-driven product development.
A whistle-stop tour through the concept of the data layer, why it’s not just techy-stuff, and some of the real-world applications and implications of adopting your own.
…featuring such exciting topics as ‘Hands-on tips and tricks for Google Tag Manager’, ‘Reducing your dependency on frustrating development challenges when al you want to do is get a tag live’, and ‘Doing really clever stuff with variables, classifying user types, and scoring behaviours’.
Building a business from the ground up is a great opportunity to develop amazing content, disrupt, and embrace effective SEO.
But what about established organisations - those with entrenched processes, legal teams, departmentalisation and small marketing teams? In the real world, large businesses don't change direction quickly or easily. Many organisations struggle to develop content strategies, implement technical changes, and embrace modern, integrated, effective SEO not because they don't want to or don't understand the opportunity, but because they can't. It's too big. Too complex. Too hard.
So, as a consultant or in-house practitioner, how do you effect change and move the needle?
We explore some practical, tactical hacks for getting things done in a world which struggles to live up to our expectations.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

My role is about understanding and solving for challenges and problems faced by practitioners
Linkdex is loosely similar to SEMrush, comprehensive platform for discovery, analysis, task management, etc.
Myopic, limited, dangerous. Unknown unknowns.
What happens if there’s a cataclysmic shift outside of the stuff you’re tracking?
You’re still culpable?
Illogical!
Illogical!
SEMrush or Linkdex (your own and/or competitor sites/rankings), AdWords, keywordtool.io, Wikipedia, synonyms, etc.
No competitive advantage here…
Taxonomies like colour, price range, target audience.
Everything which is a question.
Everything which is for a specific gender.
Don’t limit your keyword research and strategy to aligning with your site’s vertical structure!!!
