This an update on my previous presentation on Kermit. This was presented at the Brighton SEO conference on April 7th 2017. This is for Kermit v0.8 and this client-side Javascript framework will help you with:
- tagging page views including virtual page views generated by single page applications using AngularJS for example
- tagging interactions (covered in the previous presentation)
- managing your cookie consent, in particular which elements will provide implicit consent
- catch potential losses of analytics reporting caused by code changes made by your developers before these changes go live

SPAs & PWAs are challenging for SEO for a number of reasons, this checklist is what I’ve seen issues arise with-
- Google Analytics
- JavaScript History API & URLs
- Soft 404s
- JavaScript links
- Heavy code & assets on first load
- No metadata for Facebook Twitter and other sharing platforms.
- Spider traps & loops
- Duplicate Content
- Tracking parameters causing issues
- Fragments, or Hashbangs
- No sitemap
Although this list isn’t exhaustive, it is the main issues that crop up that aren’t expected, as with everything in SEO, the more that it can be tested, the more likely it is that issues are spotted earlier.
Google uses a "sandbox" or holding period for websites that are suspected of over-optimizing or link spamming in order to manipulate search rankings. The sandbox is triggered when a new site excessively optimizes on-page content like keyword stuffing titles or building too many low-quality links too quickly. Google is less tolerant of over-optimization for newer domains and in competitive industries. To avoid the sandbox, websites should focus on natural on-page optimization and link building over time rather than trying to force rankings.
This document discusses ecommerce SEO strategies in 2012. It provides tips on content curation, links, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and the importance of quality, engaging content including questions and answers, products, guest posts, and video.

The document also warns of the risk of over-optimization penalties from Google.

Avoiding Google Penalties by Appearing Squeaky Clean by Dean ChewGlen Dimaandal
Dean Chew discussed various types of penalties sites can receive from Google, including hacked sites, snippets spam, thin content, and paid or spammy link building. He provided examples of sites that received manual actions or algorithmic penalties and the process of recovering, including identifying low quality links, takedown outreach, reconsideration requests, and disavowing links. Chew also covered topics like natural link landscapes, varying link types, and avoiding unnatural or overly optimized backlinks to stay compliant with Google's guidelines.
PageRank is an imprecise metric that is not as important as other metrics like number of customers or conversion rate. While linking out to other high quality websites can help a site, linking to low quality or spammy sites can hurt it. Using the nofollow attribute prevents links from passing ranking value. Regularly updating a site with new quality content is more important for search rankings than factors like URL suffixes or meta keywords.
The document discusses 7 golden link building strategies including analyzing existing and competitor links, finding common outbound links to get links from competitors' sources, getting links on strong competitor subpages rather than just homepages, and building trust to increase returns from links. It also debunks myths about page rank and emphasizes using tools to efficiently research best link opportunities.

How a year of SEO split testing changed how I thought SEO workedDominic Woodman
The document summarizes how a year of SEO split testing changed the author's understanding of how SEO works. Some of the key findings from the split tests included: (1) Title tests often changed traffic 5-15% but 56% were negative, (2) Structured data sometimes increased traffic over 10% but most changes had no effect, and (3) The same changes often had different or no effects on different sites, highlighting there are no universal "best practices". Split testing improved relationships by making arguments less necessary.
The web is rapidly evolving towards using more and more Single Page Applications / JavaScript driven websites and understanding the effects on SEO performance is key to be a successful technical SEO. Instead of depending on clients issues with SEO and debugging those, I used the 10 most popular JS frameworks myself and setup 10 websites. During the sessions I will share the expected and unexpected things that happened.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.
I themed this deck using Baldur's Gate 3 characters: Gale as Search and Astarion as Social
