Why Understanding E.A.T in SEO & Life Is A Game Changer
Adding Value to Your Content
- What Citation Flow Metric is
- It is a metric from Majestic SEO that is an approximation of page rank of Google’s original PageRank Algorithm.
- Give Value First!
- Stephan emphasizes that if you aren’t thinking like an ad agency creative director with the content pieces that you’re coming up with, you’re missing out and not going to get much traction.
- You don’t do content just to manipulate or to get something in return. If you play your cards right in terms of it not using manipulative tactics and you’re just trying to add value, you’re going to get value out of it in return.
What E.A.T is and Why It is Substantial
- E.A.T stands for Expertise, Trustworthiness, and Authoritativeness.
- Trustworthiness
- It comes from high-value links, high-trust links that are originating from high-trust pages on high-trust websites.
- Authoritativeness
- When you have been cited by other industry sources, regardless if they are high-trust sources, then you are building authority in your niche. This makes your site valuable.
- Expertise
- Manifesting that you are an expert in your field is very important.
- If you are not a pro, then bring on experts in your field, with diplomas or certifications, to contribute to your site.
- Having E.A.T vs. Not Having E.A.T
- As Stephan states the difference, he highlights the importance of authentic TESTIMONIALS.
The Business Karma
- Stephan shares how building trust and authority can take you to such great heights, and this can be manifested by testimonials from people who you added value to.
- Jaryd sums it all up with a gold nugget: “Just give as long as you’re giving with the right intention. It’s going to come back. It may not be specifically from that person or a link from them, but it will come back.”
