Ahrefs’ Digest #146: SEO to MVP, art of subtle influence, and more

I am once again asking for your help: If you’ve taken and would recommend any SEO certifications, could you help with this survey? (Just one question!)

Survey

Back to the week’s regular programming, aka the memes you’ve been asking for.


📰 News & updates

Google testing links in SGE: Google's SGE's AI-generated answers have failed to cite sources. This test aims to correct that.


🔝 SEO


SEO to MVP: First, identify what thriving looks like. This means working out the minimum you need for you to be happy in the role and for your employer to be happy with you. You’ll also need to identify what your work boundaries are.

This Never Happened: We uploaded all the TNH interviews onto our community platform! Guests include Gael Breton and Mark Webster (Authority Hacker), Matt Diggity, Jacky Chou, Neville Medhora, and Greg Elfrink (EmpireFlippers).


💻 Digital marketing


Art of subtle influence: Use these frameworks to lead when you don’t have the titles or control.

Against advice: “Instrumental knowledge is knowledge of universals: whenever you have an X, it will get you a Y. I can give you such knowledge without our having any robust connection to one another. Knowledge of becoming, by contrast, always involves a particularized grasp of where the aspirant currently stands on the path between total cluelessness and near-perfection. What are her characteristic weaknesses; where does she already excel; what nudges could she use? Only someone who knows her knows this. An aspirational history is full of minute corrections, dead ends, backtracking, re-orientation, and random noise.”

 

Till next time ;)
Cheers,
