Small Sampling of Studies In Dossier (see below)

A Scientific (Data-Driven) Professional SEO Association
Scientific Tests Revealed

The “stealthiest” way to link together inner pages. (This little-known way to structure your website actually won the silo building test we have already done)
The “nuclear” link source we found that has been under our noses for years that no one has taken advantage of! (Funny what you find when you start testing. This one is so powerful we thought of selling just THIS alone for $997.)
The “water-cooler” Google indexing system that runs on auto-pilot (I was told this several years ago while playing blackjack at the Hyatt in Lake Tahoe with the Google index team, I tested it and sure enough, it tested positive, but time to retest.)
Exactly “how many” links to send to a site with the same anchor text before you over-optimize for that keyword. (We will have to wait for the next Penguin update that runs in real time to get Google’s new penalization formula)
What we know from test results about the best place to place your keywords on the page and if they should be bold, in italics or ALL CAPS. (And how to use this knowledge to better effectively write your site content).
The completely backwards approach (yet 100% accurate) way to dominate your competition using Google as your link source. (It’s astonishing how few people know this, yet it is so easy and powerful and tested positive.)
Take the pressure and anxiety off guessing about how long an article on a page should be, our testing got us the number. (This test has already been done and the we have the run down and just like clockwork the answers came back systematically straight forward, but see to believe)
Do the “secrets” of all the latest SEO gurus stand up to scientific testing? (Which secret would you like us to confirm or bust, just let us know and we will put it to the test)
Does inner linking your PBNs really harm them or does it pass magnificent authority and link juice to each other. (A question that SEO’s have assumed the correct answer to since 2010. Will we bust or confirm?)
Understand optimization so you can confidently answer your clients biggest question; “How many words should I have on the page?” (This took building 10 different pages but was worth all the effort to get the answer.)
How to inner link your pages to boost your product pages effectively. (In fact, do it this way, and what we have seen from test results, Google will practically look forward to crawling your website _x0001F609_
What to do to the links that bring you no love. (The truth about using the Disavow tool that Google has shoved down our throats, test will prove YAY or NAY)
The “un-sexy” link format that tests confirmed to be the bee’s knee’s of links, often gets overlooked, but needs to be included in your anchor formula. (So under used by newbies it makes Googles job easy to spot SEOs)
The best way to build links if you can’t afford to build your own PBNs. (And also… the best places to build these links from and the ones you need to ignore because they never get indexed as shown in our tests results)
Which methods “kicked-the-most-ass” for building ‘high quality’ web 2.0s as tier 1 links. (And which web 2.0 sites you should use and which to avoid like the plague)
Test shows how to use this strange and bizarre strategy to stick out like a sore thumb to Google’ yet stay under the radar and not get an over-optimized penalty. (Especially when surrounded with a bunch of the “same old, same old” white hat Google kiss butts.)
A “breakthrough discovery” that lets even total newbies build links easily from a source that will blow your away. (Even I didn’t think of this, it is ALL Kyle!)
Testing how many times to plug your links in a paragraph. (And if they need to be different anchor text when going to same site)
Is “Less is More” in the new era of link penalties? (Get the low-down on what exactly will over-optimize your site and once you have slid over is there ever a chance to regain Google’s confidence? Testing will confirm or deny our hypothisis)
Tests show the most valuable sites to build links from. (And in what order they rate)
Which sites index quickly (but drop out of the index even though the page has not been removed. Tests reveal interesting tidbits of useful information)
Which little thought of domain extension gets more power then you would think. (And is the first to index! Came out of my domain extension test)
Which is better — HTML or Images? (The answer is BOTH, but which will win the Myth Busting debate?)
A secret spammer technique that lets legitimate white hat SEOs ethically get more links out of their own Google accounts. (Although I don’t believe in White Hat, but what the heck, let them think it is OK to build links without being a Black Hat lol Test confirm we can get links from the king-pin itself)
Have you ever heard of “Keyword Density?” (How many times do you place your keyword on the page for maximum benefit and when is it too much? Time to stop guessing and to test it once and for all)
Does CAPITALIZING in headlines with your keyword over-optimize your page (or is that just another Myth that needs busting?)
Do H tags factor into keyword density? (or do they just count in body content, what is the exact number to place and if different variations? Testing it!)
How to “program” (like Google) your knowledge to give you almost unlimited power to reverse engineer the greatest search engine of all time. (and does that make you a tiny bit scared to know you can harness each bit of information to build the “perfect website?” _x0001F642_
What “exact number” of words on a page wins the test and what is the amount you should avoid? (Has already been under the gun and in your first dispatch)
Do the rules change from niche to niche? (We have to test it, and we will even learn if we can use lorem ipsum in place of “original content” when link building. And Does the content surrounding your link really matter? Oh, SO testing it!)
When Duplicate Content is OK and is it “really” that bad. (Our industry has been plagued by the phantom “duplicate content” penalty. Does it even really exist? We will be testing this shortly, muwahaha)
If Google penalizes for a site being over or under optimized (and does Google have an optimum optimization rate that we should try to calculate? We will find out)
What is “Optimization Rate” and what is the best rate to have when building a web page? (This is different the “Keyword Density” and we looked at both)
The most beneficial number of times to plug your links in a paragraph. (And is the “no-follow” still the new “do-follow,” which to use and how much to use. Test results coming up on that.)
The biggest question of them all, do Google properties pass “link juice?” (We already know they index and can be ranked, but which one that we tested PASS link juice? And do any of the others pass it? We will soon find out.)
And a whole lot more, including…

Anything you would like us to test and get to the bottom of. Our mission is to confirm or bust all SEO myths, push out theory and create the ULTIMATE Google ranking guide that you can trust as FACT.

Article Length: How Many Words Should I Put In My Articles?

This is one of the most often asked questions in the SEO world. We wanted to stop guessing and listening to Google so we built 10 different pages. Page 1 had 100 words and incrementally went up until Page 10 had 1,000 words. Now we know for sure. Want to guess how they all ranked?
2

What Type of Header Should You Use? Image or Text?

Some SEOs believe that you should use a Image in your Header (to get benefit from wrapping text inside along with the alt tag) instead of text. This was a huge discussion in the Warrior Forum with both sides going back and forth about who was right. So, we were tired of listening to all the theory and put it to the test. Header Text vs. Header Image: Does an image containing the target keyword in the image alt, wrapped in an H1 beat a regular text H1? We know who won the fight in WF now. _x0001F609_

5

Which Are The BEST Web 2.0s To Get Links From?

A lot of SEO’s use Web 2.0s to get links from. They will write an article and place it on one of these sites and place a link in it back to their money site or PBN. We wanted to know which ones were the BEST to use so we didn’t wast our time putting articles on sources that didn’t pass good link juice. So we tested them and this is Web 2.0’s Round 1- This report tells you which Web 2.0 our the ten we tested that you should you be using with your SEO strategies? We tested how they pass link juice and how they would rank the pages we linked them to. So in this controlled environment, we got to see exactly which were the best and which to avoid. Using out winners will not only along will increase your rankings but will save you a ton of time and money writing content for the ‘losers’ of the group.
6

Do Nofollow Links Hurt or Help You?

Most SEO’s want ‘Follow’ links because in theory (this is what Google says) if a webmaster puts the ‘No Follow’ code on the link, then no link juice will pass to the site it is linking too. So of course, in theory to rank, most think we need ‘Follow’ links. In this test we look at Both the ‘No Follow’ and ‘Follow’ Links how and if the ‘No Follow’ effects your rankings. Does it? _x0001F609_
7

Article Length Round 2: Can TOO MUCH ContentHurt You?

In test #1 we went up to a 1000 word article being our top article length. We wanted to further explore this as it really is the most asked question and deserved our attention to Drill down deeper to find the optimal on page word count for ranking. In this test we go all the way up to 4,000 words on this test and ABSOLUTELY FOUND A SWEET SPOT and when enough is enough.
8

More Web 2.0 Sites Tested For BEST To Get Links From.

Just like in Test #5, many SEO use Web 2.0 sites to put links on to link back to their money sites. But which are the Best Web 2.0s to use based on rankings, In this Round we pit different Web 2.0’s against each other to find the ones out of this group of 10 that rank the highest (and which ones to not waste your time on). Again, more information so you can spend your time and dollars on the right places to get links from.
9

Does Syndicated Content Hurt Or Help Rankings.

A lot of SEOs will create one article, post it on their money site and then blast the same article out to social properties to get links back to their money site.
The controversy is over the duplicate content this creates since you are syndicating the original article. So the Test is: The Duplicate content to Social Media- what impact does this have on your rankings? The idea on this test is to see if posting duplicate content that could conceivably come from a program such as IFTTT or Jetpack or Syndwire or Onlywire or even manual posting is problematic or beneficial.
If this proves to be beneficial, then we would recommend to use this method to create links back to your site, if it sends our test page down in our controlled environment, then we will know NOT to use them at all! We have the answer.

Ecommerce/Local SEO URL Structure, what does Google like the best?

As humans we naturally trust program default settings and do so with web sites as well. In this test we are looking at URL structure of “out-of-the-box” e-commerce sites or local service sites that follow template silo structures (think plumbers or roofing repair sites). To find out, we tested if the way they have it is beneficial? Is that how we should be doing our structure, our silos, or should we be structuring it a different way? Is what they give us harmful even? So what we are looking at is ultimately.. “what is the right” URL structure for Google. [[If you are doing e-commerce or local SEO, you need these results.]]
11

Is it harmful to use ALL CAPS on a page?

This was a lie that was sent in by a member. He had been told to reduce some of my CAPS to a lower lever in his headlines and articles in site reviews because it was hurting him rankings. Google is able to see all CAPS, even if you’re yelling at it and dropping a negative element for it. We tested the answer and made our members happy.
12

How Many Times can I place my keyword in my title?

Another myth was sent in by a member because they believed that placing your keyword multiple times in the title tag would result in a lower score and thus, a decrease in your page’s rankings. It was a myth, or is it fact? We now know. _x0001F642_
13

Do I Need To Use Unique Images On My Website?

Google drilled into our heads that content is the king and must be original. In our closed Facebook group, which you can join if you want to join, we started to test different ways of making an image unique for Google. (ie. (ie. We decided to test it by creating pages with unique images and comparing them against pages with stock photos. Google will like more pages with unique images than those with stock photos. This is a great way to save time and money.

Remember, the earlier tests will also tell you which ones to avoid! This is extremely important!
16

How will Schema Markup help me rank?

Schema is a term I’m not familiar with. lol Most SEOs are already familiar with Google’s stance on schema. Barry Schwartz published a popular article on SearchEngineLand September 2015. In it, he quotes John Mueller who states that schema markup may not be a ranking factor yet, but will in the near future. This statement has not been updated by Google to our knowledge. We decided to test it. Schema is a good option? This is the answer.
17

Should I Optimize my Title to Increase Keyword Ranking?

Meta titles are vital, we know this. SEO element. Moz Whiteboard Friday also stated that a meta tag optimized for clicks will outperform a meta tag optimized for keywords. We have been using our keywords in our Title for a while so we wanted to verify that MOZ was correct.

21

How can links from Youtube help me rank?

We’d previously tested major platforms but found that these links didn’t pass juice (didn’t do anything to push the page higher in our controlled environment than a page without those hyperlinks, and we WILL SHARE those with you when they are shared to you), so we decided we’d try YouTube and see if we could get any links from them to boost our site’s rankings. This is it? Is it another great place to find White Hat links, or something you should avoid spending your money on?
22

Are Facebook Shares and Likes helpful in ranking my site?

Social media is something we all know about, but how does it help us get links from these sites? These are ranking factors that Google considers important. Are we imagining it? While Facebook was our first test site, we also did several other tests. We tested links from posts that had no likes or shared, posts with just likes, as well as posts that had likes and shares. We finally got to the bottom and know what Facebook links are and which ones. This will allow you to stop wasting time and money on the wrong things.

We reveal which silo structure ranked highest and what that means. This will give you the information you need in order to make your website achieve the best possible results.
25

Do I use LSI keywords more or less?

Do duplicate content from my link sources harm my site?

Most SEO’s will write one article, then publish it on several Web 2.0 sites to gain links. To my knowledge, no one has tested if it will hurt or help your site. It is common for people to do this, so we had to find out the truth. Is it necessary to include original content in your posts? This is the right answer.
28

What is the best place to put my keyword in the title?

It is stated in the SEO To get the best ranking benefits, you should put your keyword at the FRONT of your title. This is a classic technique that dates back to the stone age.
