NichePursuits.com - Google Ranking Factors...debunked

Over the years, Google has often been quite vague about what is a ranking factor and what is not.

However, they recently shared a couple of things where they said, "this won't make your page rank higher".

Today, Jared and I discuss some of these "debunked" Google ranking factors.

In addition, we chat how Google has shaped the web and how we build our websites.

You can listen to today's full episode right here.

And of course, we also chat about weird niche sites!

I share the fascinating story of DudeRanch dot com.

And Jared has a throwback to a site that looks like it was created in the 90s with Dogica dot com.


I'm Starting a New YouTube Channel!

As a heads up, I've decided to move the Niche Pursuits Podcast to its own YouTube channel!

So, if you typically watch the podcast on YouTube, starting next week you'll have to find the new channel!

There's a few reasons for this, but the main one is so that YouTube can show my videos on my main channel to a broader audience.

And those that subscribe to the new channel can be sure that they are recommended my new podcast episodes.

If you're interested, you can subscribe to the new Niche Pursuits Podcast Youtube channel right here!

I haven't even had time to put cover art on the channel. And there are currently 0 subscribers.

Who will be the first subscriber?

Go ahead and subcribe to the new Niche Pursuits Podcast channel here.

(The first episode will be published on Wednesday on the new channel).

Thanks again,

Spencer
