Show Notes
In this episode, James Dooley sits down with Karl Hudson to unpack what really moves the needle in SEO going into 2024. They start by predicting that high-quality link building will be one of the strongest differentiators in an AI-saturated world, discussing why brands need a blended backlink profile instead of relying on a single type of link. From there, they dive deep into content and topical optimization – including topical maps, RDF triples, and subject–predicate–object structures – and how large language models and entity placement inside headings can make or break rankings. James and Karl also cover the role of paid ads in boosting behavioral signals, the real cost of ranking affiliate and rank-and-rent sites, and why many beginners are undercapitalised. They finish by rapid-firing through the most common SEO mistakes (toxic links, poor internal linking, weak E-E-A-T, no pruning, bad schema) and explain when and how to use disavows and toxicity thresholds to safely scale link building.
